SAN PEDRO GARZA GARCÍA, NUEVO LEÓN, Mexico, Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Alpek, S.A.B. de C.V. ("Alpek" or the "Company") today announced the final tender results of its previously announced offer to purchase for cash (the "Tender Offer") any and all of its outstanding 4.500% Senior Notes due 2022 (the "Notes"). The Tender Offer was made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated February 16, 2021 (the "Offer to Purchase") and a related notice of guaranteed delivery (the "Notice of Guaranteed Delivery" and, together with the Offer to Purchase, the "Offer Documents").

As previously announced, the expiration time for the Tender Offer was 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on February 23, 2021 (such date and time, the "Expiration Time").  As of the Expiration Time, U.S.$315,972,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Tender Offer. The settlement of the Tender Offer is expected to occur on February 26, 2021 (the "Settlement Date").

The table below sets forth the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Expiration Time, and accepted for purchase:

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Tender Offer set forth in the Offer Documents, all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Expiration Time have been accepted for purchase. Holders of Notes whose Notes have been accepted for purchase will receive the purchase price described in the table above plus Accrued Interest.  Additionally, Alpek will pay additional amounts such that the purchase price and Accrued Interest received by holders after withholding tax will be equal to the amount that would have been due had there been no such withholding tax.

All conditions described in the Offer to Purchase that were to be satisfied or waived on or prior to the Expiration Time, including the Pricing Condition (as such term is defined in the Offer to Purchase), were satisfied on or prior to the Expiration Time.  Alpek's obligation to purchase Notes in the Tender Offer is conditioned upon the successful closing on or prior to the Settlement Date of a concurrent offering (the "New Notes Offering") of U.S. dollar denominated notes (the "New Notes") and receipt by Alpek of sufficient funds from the New Notes Offering, together with available cash on hand and/or borrowings under available lines of credit, to finance the purchase of the Notes tendered and accepted pursuant to the Tender Offer.  If and when issued, the New Notes will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any other securities laws. The New Notes Offering is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and therefore New Notes have only been offered and sold to "qualified institutional buyers" (QIBs) in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.  The New Notes Offering is not conditioned on the successful consummation of the Tender Offer.  

The total cash payment to purchase on the Settlement Date the Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase, including Accrued Interest and any additional amounts thereon, will be approximately U.S.$341.2 million.

Interest will cease to accrue on the Settlement Date for all Notes purchased in the Tender Offer.  Following payment for the Notes accepted pursuant to the terms of the Tender Offer, Alpek may, but is not obligated to, redeem all or a portion of the Notes that remain outstanding in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Notes.  None of the Offer Documents nor this press release constitute a notice of redemption or an obligation to issue a notice of redemption.

The Offer Documents do not constitute an offer to sell any securities or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of Alpek in the New Notes Offering or in any other transaction.
