Note: The 2023 Notes were prorated because the total tendered amount exceeded the maximum tender amount of US$250,000,000. No notes tendered after the early deadline will be accepted.
Material Changes and Transaction Status
The primary material change is the reduction of outstanding debt principal by US$250,000,000 through the settlement of the tender offers. The 2022 Notes were fully accepted for the amount tendered, while the 2023 Notes were partially accepted on a pro-rata basis. Withdrawal rights for the tendered notes expired on the early tender date of September 21, 2020.
Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
The tender offers are scheduled to expire on October 5, 2020, unless extended. However, since the maximum tender amount was already reached during the early period, Embraer Finance will not accept any additional notes tendered after September 21, 2020. The company reserves the right to amend or terminate the offers. The filing includes standard forward-looking statement disclaimers regarding risks and uncertainties that could affect future results.
