Cummins Announces Preliminary Results of Atmus Filtration Technologies Inc. Exchange Offer
March 14 2024 - 8:39AM
Business Wire
Today, Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) (“Cummins”) announced that,
based on preliminary results, its previously announced offer to its
shareholders to exchange their shares of Cummins common stock for
shares of Atmus Filtration Technologies Inc. (NYSE: ATMU) (“Atmus”)
common stock owned by Cummins was oversubscribed. The exchange
offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of
the day on March 13, 2024. Under the terms of the exchange offer,
12.0298 shares of Atmus common stock will be exchanged for each
share of Cummins common stock accepted in the exchange offer.
According to the exchange agent, Broadridge Corporate Issuer
Solutions, LLC, 69,142,112 shares of Cummins common stock were
validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, including 36,902,099
shares that were tendered by notice of guaranteed delivery and
1,006,609 shares that tendered in aggregate by “odd-lot”
shareholders (holders of fewer than 100 shares) not subject to
proration. Cummins intends to accept 5,574,050 of the tendered
shares in exchange for the 67,054,726 shares of Atmus common stock
owned by Cummins. Because the exchange offer was oversubscribed,
Cummins is accepting only a portion of the shares of its common
stock that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, on a
pro rata basis in proportion to the number of shares tendered.
Shareholders who owned fewer than 100 shares of Cummins common
stock, or an “odd-lot,” who have validly tendered all of their
shares, will not be subject to proration, in accordance with the
terms of the exchange offer.
Based on the total number of shares of Cummins common stock
reported to be tendered prior to the expiration of the exchange
offer, it is estimated that approximately 6.7% of the tendered
shares of Cummins common stock subject to proration will be
exchanged, assuming all shares tendered by guaranteed delivery
procedures are delivered under the terms of the exchange offer.
This preliminary proration factor is subject to change based on the
number of tendered shares and “odd-lot” shares that satisfy the
guaranteed delivery procedures. Cummins expects to announce the
final proration factor on March 18, 2024, promptly following the
expiration of the guaranteed delivery period. Shares of Cummins
common stock tendered but not accepted for exchange will be
returned to the tendering shareholders in book-entry form promptly
after the final proration factor is announced. Following the
completion of the exchange offer, Cummins will not retain any
outstanding shares of Atmus common stock.
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC are
the dealer managers for the exchange offer.
