RRD Announces Exercise of Early Settlement Option in Connection with Its Tender Offers
CHICAGO, Ill., - October 16, 2018 - R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company (NYSE:RRD) (“RRD”) announced today that it elected to exercise the Early Settlement Option described in the Offer to Purchase, dated September 18, 2018 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”), relating to its previously announced cash tender offers (the “Tender Offers”) for its outstanding 7.625% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”), 7.875% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”), 8.875% Debentures due 2021 (the “2021 Debentures”) and 7.000% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes” and, collectively with the 2020 Notes, the 2021 Notes and the 2021 Debentures, the “Securities”). Terms not defined otherwise in this press release have the meanings given to them in the Offer to Purchase.
RRD accepted and purchased today (the “Early Settlement Date”) $430 million in aggregate principal amount of Securities, consisting of approximately $172.6 million in aggregate principal amount of 2020 Notes and approximately $257.4 million in aggregate principal amount of 2021 Notes that were validly tendered and not withdrawn. Holders of purchased Securities received the applicable Total Consideration set forth in the Offer to Purchase and accrued and unpaid interest (if any) on such Securities from the last interest payment date with respect to those Securities to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date.
The previously announced date and time for the expiration of withdrawal rights for the Tender Offers has passed and has not been extended. Securities tendered pursuant to a Tender Offer may no longer be withdrawn, except as required by applicable law.
The Tender Offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, at the end of October 18, 2018. Because RRD purchased the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount of Securities on the Early Settlement Date, RRD will not make any further purchases of Securities in connection with the Tender Offers.
