CEMIG Geração e Transmissão S.A. announces cash tender offer for its 9.250% Senior Notes due 2024

 

Belo Horizonte, Brazil – November 28, 2022 – CEMIG Geração e Transmissão S.A. (“CEMIG GT”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais (“CEMIG Holding”), today announced the commencement of an offer to purchase for cash up to the Maximum Amount (as defined below) of its outstanding 9.250% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) issued by CEMIG GT (the “Offer”). When used in this press release, the terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer collectively to CEMIG GT and CEMIG Holding, in each case, unless the context otherwise requires.

 

The Offer is made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated November 28, 2022 (the “Offer to Purchase”), including, among other things, the total or partial settlement of CEMIG GT’s ninth issuance of simple debentures, non-convertible into shares, with an additional fiduciary guarantee from CEMIG Holding, in up to two series, for public distribution with restricted distribution efforts, amounting up to R$1,000,000,000.00 (one billion reais), which has an estimated settlement on or about December 20, 2022 (the “Financing Condition”). CEMIG GT, in its sole discretion, may waive the Financing Condition. The Offer is not contingent upon the tender of any minimum principal amount of Notes, but CEMIG GT will only purchase Notes up to the maximum aggregate principal amount of U.S. $250 million (the “Maximum Amount”). Accordingly, if the Maximum Amount is reached in respect of tenders made on or prior to the Early Tender Date (as defined below), no Notes that are validly tendered after the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase, even if validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, and any Notes tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase on the Early Acceptance Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) or the Expiration Date (as defined below), if the Early Settlement Right (as defined below) is not exercised, will be accepted on a prorated basis such that CEMIG GT purchases an aggregate principal amount of Notes that would not exceed the Maximum Amount in the Offer.

 

The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Offer.

 

Title of Security	CUSIPs	ISINs	Principal Amount Outstanding	Maximum Amount (3)	Tender Consideration (1)	Early Tender Premium (1)(2)	Total Consideration (1)(2)

Indicative Timetable for the Offer:

 

Commencement of the Offer	November 28, 2022
Withdrawal Date	5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on December 9, 2022, unless  extended by CEMIG GT in its sole discretion.
Early Tender Date	5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on December 9, 2022, unless  extended by CEMIG GT in its sole discretion.
Early Settlement Date	If CEMIG GT elects to exercise the Early Settlement Right (as defined below), promptly after the acceptance by CEMIG GT for purchase of the Notes validly tendered before the Early Tender Date and not withdrawn on or prior to the Withdrawal Date (as defined below), upon satisfaction (or waiver by CEMIG GT) of each and all of the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including the Financing Condition.
	CEMIG GT expects that the Early Settlement Date, if any, will be on or about eight Business Days following the Early Tender Date, which would be on December 21, 2022, unless the Early Tender Date is extended by CEMIG GT in its sole discretion.
Expiration Date	11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on December 23, 2022, unless extended by CEMIG GT in its sole discretion.
Final Settlement Date	Promptly after the acceptance by CEMIG GT for purchase of the Notes validly tendered and not previously settled on the Early Settlement Date, if any, and the Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Date but on or prior to the Expiration Date, if any, upon satisfaction (or waiver by CEMIG GT) of each and all of the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including the Financing Condition.
	CEMIG GT expects that the Final Settlement Date will be on or about two Business Days following the Expiration Date, which would be December 28, 2022, unless the Expiration Date is extended by CEMIG GT in its sole discretion.

 

The Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on December 23, 2022, unless earlier terminated or extended by CEMIG GT (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Date”).

 

Holders of Notes who validly tender and do not validly withdraw their Notes on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on December 9, 2022, unless extended (such time and date, as they may be extended, the “Early Tender Date”), will be eligible to receive the total consideration of U.S.$1,031.25 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered (the “Total Consideration”), which includes an early tender premium of U.S.$50.00 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Date and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the Withdrawal Date (the “Early Tender Premium”). Holders who validly tender and do not validly withdraw their Notes after the Early Tender Date, but on or prior to the Expiration Date, will be eligible to receive the tender consideration of U.S.$981.25 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered (the “Tender Consideration”). The Tender Consideration does not include the Early Tender Premium. Notes tendered may be withdrawn at any time on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on December 9, 2022, unless extended by CEMIG GT in its sole discretion (such time and date, as they may be extended, the “Withdrawal Date”), but not thereafter.

 

If any Notes are purchased in the Offer, Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) on or prior to the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase in priority to any Notes validly tendered in the Offer after the Early Tender Date. Accordingly, if the Maximum Amount is reached in respect of tenders made on or prior to the Early Tender Date, no Notes that are validly tendered after the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase, and any Notes tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase on the Early Acceptance Date (or the Expiration Date, if the Early Settlement Right is not exercised) will be accepted on a prorated basis such that we purchase an aggregate principal amount of Notes that would not exceed the Maximum Amount in the Offer.

 

In addition to the applicable Total Consideration and the applicable Tender Consideration, as applicable, holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase in the Offer will also receive accrued and unpaid interest (“Accrued Interest”) from, and including, the last interest payment date to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date or the Final Settlement Date (each, a “Settlement Date”), as applicable.

 

CEMIG GT reserves the right, but is under no obligation, at any point following the Early Tender Date and before the Expiration Date, to accept for purchase any Notes validly tendered and not subsequently withdrawn on or prior to the Early Tender Date (the “Early Settlement Right”). The date of payment for Notes purchased pursuant to the Early Settlement Right (the “Early Settlement Date”) will be determined at CEMIG GT’s option and is currently expected to be December 21, 2022, subject to all conditions of the Offer having been either satisfied or waived by CEMIG GT, including the Financing Condition. All Notes tendered and accepted for purchase that have not been settled on the Early Settlement Date, if any, will be settled on December 28, 2022, promptly following the Expiration Date. In all cases, the total principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase by CEMIG GT may be subject to proration based upon the Maximum Amount as described in the Offer to Purchase.

 

Completion of the Offer is conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including the Financing Condition. CEMIG GT has the right, in its sole discretion, to amend or terminate the Offer at any time, subject to applicable law.

King & Co., Inc. to serve as information and tender agent for the Offer. The full details of the Offer, including complete instructions on how to tender Notes, are included in the Offer to Purchase.
