Material Changes and Offer Mechanics
Embraer is initiating a debt refinancing strategy through these offers. Key mechanics include:
- Any and All Offer: Open to all holders of the 2027 notes. Scheduled to expire on February 11, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. New York City time. Settlement is expected on the third business day following expiration.
- Capped Offer: Limited to a maximum of US$150 million of the 2028 notes. Scheduled to expire on March 6, 2025. An early tender deadline of February 19, 2025, exists for holders to receive the additional early tender payment.
- Consideration Calculation: The total consideration per US$1,000 principal amount will be determined based on the applicable Fixed Spread plus the yield of the reference U.S. Treasury security at a specific price determination date.
- Proration: If the Capped Notes tendered exceed the Maximum Principal Amount, tenders will be accepted on a pro-rata basis.
Guidance, Risks, and Contingencies
Conditions to Offers: The obligation to purchase notes is conditioned on the completion of a new debt financing by Embraer Finance on satisfactory terms. There is no assurance this financing will be completed timely or at all.
Management Commentary and Intent: Embraer intends, but is under no obligation, to redeem any remaining 2027 notes via a make-whole call following the offers. The company reserves the right to amend or terminate the offers at any time and to not accept any tenders.
Risks:
- Failure to satisfy the debt financing condition could result in the termination of the offers without payment.
- Forward-looking statements regarding the offers involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ.
- Subsequent repurchases or redemptions may occur at prices different from the offer terms.
