Magna intends to use the net proceeds from the
offering of U.S. dollar senior notes to finance a portion of the
cost of its proposed acquisition of the Veoneer Active Safety
business (the “Veoneer Acquisition”) and to pay
related fees and expenses, and for general corporate purposes,
which may include the repayment of its existing indebtedness.
However, the completion of this offering is not contingent upon the
completion of the Veoneer Acquisition. In the event that (x) the
Veoneer Acquisition is not consummated on or prior to December 19,
2023 or such later date as the parties to the agreement (the
“Equity Purchase Agreement”) governing the Veoneer
Acquisition may agree as the “End Date” thereunder (the “End Date”)
or (y) the Equity Purchase Agreement is terminated, Magna will be
required to redeem all of the notes then outstanding at a
redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the
redemption date.
Magna intends to use the net proceeds from the
Euro senior notes for general corporate purposes, which may include
the repayment of its existing indebtedness.
The offering of U.S. dollar senior notes is
expected to close on March 21, 2023 and the offering of Euro senior
notes is expected to close on March 17, 2023, in each case, subject
to customary closing conditions. The U.S. dollar senior notes and
Euro senior notes will be offered pursuant to an effective shelf
registration statement previously filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and a short form base shelf
prospectus and prospectus supplements filed with the Ontario
Securities Commission.
