Empresa Eléctrica Angamos SpA Offer to Purchase for Cash Any and All of its Outstanding 4.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2029

SANTIAGO, Chile, Sept. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Empresa Eléctrica Angamos SpA ("Angamos" or the "Company") today announced that it has launched an offer to purchase for cash (the "Tender Offer") any and all of its 4.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 listed in the table below (the "Notes.")  No tenders submitted after the expiration date will be valid.  The Tender Offer will take place upon the terms and conditions described in the Company's Offer to Purchase, dated September 8, 2020 (the "Offer to Purchase.")

The following table sets forth certain terms of the Tender Offer:

The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 5, 2020, unless amended, extended or terminated by Angamos (the "expiration date").   The Tender Offer may be amended, extended or terminated. 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, the consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will be the applicable Tender Offer Consideration set forth in the above table, multiplied by the Scaling Factor. The Scaling Factor reflects the fact that the Notes are subject to principal amortization. Holders of Notes that are validly tendered prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 21, 2020 (subject to extension, the "Early Tender Time") and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will receive the Total Consideration set forth in the above table, which includes the Tender Offer Consideration plus the applicable Early Tender Premium, multiplied by the Scaling Factor.  Holders of Notes tendering their Notes after the Early Tender Time will not be eligible to receive the Early Tender Premium.  All Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes from the last interest payment date with respect to those Notes to, but not including, the applicable settlement date.  The amount of such interest will be subject to withholding tax gross-up using the same methodology as in the Indenture. 

Tendered Notes may be withdrawn from the Tender Offer prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 21, 2020, unless extended by Angamos (the "withdrawal deadline").  Holders of Notes, who tender their Notes after the withdrawal deadline, but prior to the expiration date, may not withdraw their tendered Notes.  

An early settlement date will be determined at Angamos's option and is currently expected to occur on September 23, 2020, subject to all conditions to the Tender Offer having been either satisfied or waived by Angamos as of the early settlement date.  Angamos will purchase any remaining Notes that have been validly tendered and accepted in the Tender Offer prior to the expiration date promptly following the expiration date.  The final settlement date is expected to occur on October 7, 2020, the second business day following the expiration date.  If Angamos does not elect to have an early settlement date, payment for Notes validly tendered prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase will be made on the final settlement date. 

The Tender Offer is not conditioned upon the tender of any minimum principal amount of Notes.  However, the Tender Offer is subject to, and conditioned upon, the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Statement. 

Angamos intends to fund the Tender Offer, including accrued and unpaid interest and fees and expenses payable in connection with the Tender Offer, with cash on hand. 

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. ("Citigroup") is the Global Coordinator in the Tender Offer. Citigroup, Itau BBA USA Securities, Inc. ("Itaú BBA"), Santander Investment Securities Inc. ("Santander") and SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc. ("SMBC Nikko") are the Dealer Managers in the Tender Offer.  Global Bondholder Services Corporation ("GBSC") has been retained to serve as the Tender and Information Agent for the Tender Offer.  Persons with questions regarding the Tender Offer should contact Citigroup at (toll free) (800) 558-3745 or (collect) (212) 723-6106, Itaú BBA at (collect) (212) 710-6749, Santander at (toll free) (855) 404-3636 or (collect) (212) 940-1442, or SMBC Nikko at (toll free) (888) 868-6856.  Requests for the Statement should be directed to GBSC at (toll free) (866) 470-3700 or (collect) (212) 430-3774 or email at contact@gbsc-usa.com.
