SOUTH JORDAN, Utah,
Nov. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/
-- Pursuant to the previously announced tender offer (the
"Tender Offer") of Boart Longyear Management Pty Limited (the
"Issuer"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Boart Longyear
Limited (ASX: BLY) (the "Company"), for up to $105.0 million aggregate principal amount of its
outstanding $300.0 million aggregate
principal amount of 10.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the
"Notes"), the Company announced today that the Issuer received
tenders from the holders of $156,213,000 aggregate principal amount, or
approximately 52.1%, of the Notes by 5:00
p.m., New York City time,
on November 4, 2014 (the "early
tender time"). The terms of the Tender Offer are detailed in the
Company's Offer to Purchase, dated October
22, 2014 (the "Offer to Purchase").
The previously announced withdrawal deadline for the Tender
Offer of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 4, 2014, has passed and tendered Notes
can no longer be withdrawn. The Tender Offer will expire at
11:59 p.m., New York City time, on November 19, 2014, unless the Tender Offer is
extended or earlier terminated (the "expiration date").
Under the terms of the Tender Offer, holders of the Notes who
validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes prior to
the early tender time, and whose notes are accepted for purchase,
will receive the "total consideration," of $1,080.00 per $1,000.00 in principal amount of the Notes
validly tendered, which consists of (i) $1,050.00 per $1,000.00 in principal amount of the Notes
validly tendered (the "tender consideration") plus (ii)
$30.00 per $1,000.00 in principal amount of the Notes
validly tendered (the "early tender premium").

The Company plans to accept for purchase on November 7, 2014 (the "early settlement date")
$105.0 million aggregate principal
amount, or approximately 67.2%, of Notes tendered at or prior to
the early tender time, subject to all conditions to the Tender
Offer having been satisfied or waived by the Company. In addition,
holders whose Notes are purchased in the Tender Offer will also be
paid accrued and unpaid interest from the most recent interest
payment date on the Notes to, but not including, the early
settlement date.
Only up to $105.0 million
aggregate principal amount of the Notes will be purchased by the
Company. Because the purchase of all validly tendered Notes
would cause the Company to purchase a principal amount greater than
$105.0 million aggregate principal
amount, the Tender Offer will be oversubscribed and, if the Company
accepts Notes in the Tender Offer, it will accept for purchase
tendered Notes only on a prorated basis, with the aggregate
principal amount of each Holder's validly tendered Notes accepted
for purchase determined by multiplying each Holder's tender by the
applicable proration factor, and rounding the product to the
nearest $1,000.00 to avoid (a)
purchases of Notes in principal amounts other than integral
multiples of $1,000.00 and (b) any
remaining Note having a principal amount of less than $2,000.00. Notes not purchased due to proration
will be promptly returned or credited to the Holder's account.
If, as a result of proration, the principal amount of Notes
returned or credited to a Holder is less than the minimum
denomination set forth in this paragraph, we will purchase all of
such Holder's validly tendered Notes.
Furthermore, because the Tender Offer is fully subscribed as of
the early tender time, holders who validly tender Notes after the
early tender time will not have any of their Notes accepted for
payment.
Full details of the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are
included in the Company's Offer to Purchase.
This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption
under the optional redemption provisions of the indenture governing
the Notes, nor does it constitute an offer to sell, or a
solicitation of an offer to buy, any security. No offer,
solicitation, or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which
such an offer solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.
