WAUKEGAN, Ill., Feb. 3, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coleman Cable, Inc. (Nasdaq:CCIX) (“Coleman Cable”), a leading manufacturer and innovator of electrical and electronic wire and cable products, announced today that it has consummated a private placement offering of $235 million aggregate principal amount of its 9% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”) and the initial payment of its previously announced cash tender offer and consent solicitation (the “Offer”) with respect to its outstanding 9.875% senior notes due 2012 (the “2012 Notes”).
Coleman Cable used the net proceeds from the sale of the 2018 Notes, together with other available funds, to fund the payment of consideration and costs relating to the Offer. As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 2, 2010 (the “Consent Payment Deadline”), $199,429,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2012 Notes were validly tendered and not withdrawn, which represented approximately 88.6% of the $224,980,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2012 Notes outstanding. On February 3, 2010, Coleman Cable accepted for purchase and payment all of the 2012 Notes that were validly tendered at or prior to the Consent Payment Deadline. Payment for the 2012 Notes was made today (the “Initial Payment Date”). Holders of the 2012 Notes who tendered their 2012 Notes at or prior to the Consent Payment Deadline received $1,027.50 for each $1,000 principal amount of the 2012 Notes validly tendered (which included the consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2012 Notes), plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the Initial Payment Date.
In connection with the receipt of the consents of a majority of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 2012 Notes, the Company entered into a Supplemental Indenture on February 3, 2010. The Supplemental Indenture amends the Indenture for the 2012 Notes to remove certain covenants and events of default, as described in the Offer.
The Offer remains open and will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on February 17, 2010 (the “Expiration Date”). Any additional 2012 Notes tendered prior to the Expiration Date are currently expected to be accepted for payment on February 18, 2010 at a price of $997.50 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2012 Notes validly tendered.
This news release is neither an offer to purchase the 2012 Notes nor a solicitation of consents to amend the related indenture. The Offer was made solely pursuant to the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement. This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the 2018 Notes or any other securities. Offers will not be made in any jurisdiction in which the making or accepting thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction.
