________________ (1) The Series Maximum represents
the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes of such Series that
will be purchased in the applicable Offer.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Offers, the
consideration to be paid in the Offers for each Series of Notes
(such consideration, the “Total Consideration”) validly tendered on
or before the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase by
Apache will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to
Purchase by reference to the applicable fixed spread for such
Series of Notes set forth in the column entitled “Fixed Spread” in
the applicable table above, over the applicable yield based on the
bid side price of the U.S. Treasury Security set forth for such
Series of Notes in the column entitled “Reference Security” in the
applicable table above, as calculated by the Dealer Managers (as
defined below) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on June 19,
2019. The Total Consideration includes an early tender premium
of $30 per $1,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes accepted
for purchase in the Offers (the “Early Tender Premium”). The
aggregate purchase price for the Notes accepted for purchase will
include accrued and unpaid interest, if any, from the last interest
payment date for the applicable Series of Notes up to, but not
including, the Early Settlement Date (as defined below).
The settlement date for the Notes validly tendered on or before
the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase (the “Early
Settlement Date”) is expected to be June 21, 2019.
The deadline for Holders to validly withdraw tenders of Notes
has passed. Accordingly, Notes that were tendered at or before the
Early Tender Deadline may not be withdrawn or revoked, except as
required by applicable law.
Each Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on
July 2, 2019, unless extended or earlier terminated. However,
because the aggregate purchase price of the Notes validly tendered
and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Deadline will
exceed the Aggregate Maximum Purchase Price, and Apache does not
intend to increase the Aggregate Maximum Purchase Price, no Notes
tendered after the Early Tender Deadline will be accepted for
purchase in the Offers.
Notes not accepted for purchase will be promptly credited to the
account of the registered holder of such Notes with The Depository
Trust Company in accordance with the Offer to Purchase.
Apache’s obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for,
Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant
to each Offer is conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver by
Apache of a number of conditions as described in the Offer to
Purchase, including the receipt by Apache of the net proceeds from
the issuance of not less than $1,000,000,000 in principal amount of
indebtedness in one or more debt financing transactions on terms
reasonably satisfactory to Apache (the “Financing Condition”).
Apache expects the Financing Condition to be satisfied later today
by the closing of its offering of $1,000,000,000 in aggregate
principal amount of 4.250% notes due 2030 and 5.350% notes due
2049. Apache may amend, extend, or, subject to certain conditions
and applicable law, terminate each Offer at any time in its sole
discretion.
Citigroup and Wells Fargo Securities are acting as Lead Dealer
Managers and HSBC and TD Securities are acting as Co-Dealer
Managers (collectively, the “Dealer Managers”) and D.F. King &
Co., Inc. is acting as the Tender Agent and Information Agent for
the Offers. Requests for documents may be directed to D.F. King
& Co., Inc. at (800) 967-7510 or apache@dfking.com. Questions
regarding the Offers may be directed to Citigroup at (800) 558-3745
(toll free) or (212) 723-6106 (collect) and Wells Fargo Securities
at (866) 309-6316 (toll free) or (704) 410-4756 (collect).
This announcement is for informational purposes only and is not
an offer to purchase or sell or a solicitation of an offer to
purchase or sell, with respect to any securities, including in
connection with the Financing Condition. The Offers to purchase the
Notes are only being made pursuant to the terms of the Offer to
Purchase. The Offers are not being made in any state or
jurisdiction in which such Offers would be unlawful prior to
registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such
state or jurisdiction. None of Apache, the Dealer Managers, or the
Tender Agent and Information Agent is making any recommendation as
to whether or not Holders should tender their Notes in connection
with the Offers.
