WESTPORT, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 8, 2015-- Terex Corporation (NYSE: TEX) ("Terex") announced today that it has received the requisite consents with respect to its previously announced consent solicitation from holders of its 6.00% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) and 6.50% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes” and together with the 2021 Notes, the “Notes”) to certain proposed amendments to the indentures governing the Notes. The consent solicitation was conducted in connection with the previously announced merger (the “Merger”) of Terex with Konecranes Plc, a Finnish public company limited by shares (“Konecranes”).
The consent solicitation expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 4, 2015 (the “Expiration Time”). As of the Expiration Time, Terex had received the requisite consents needed to approve the proposed amendments to the indentures governing the Notes. These consents cannot be revoked.
Having received the requisite consents for each series of Notes, Terex intends to promptly execute supplemental indentures covering the proposed amendments to the indentures, as described in greater detail in the Consent Solicitation Notice (the “Notice”) previously provided to holders of Notes. The terms of the supplemental indentures will not become operative unless and until the remaining conditions to the consent solicitation have been satisfied or waived.
In the event that each of the conditions to the consent solicitation described in the Notice is satisfied or waived, including but not limited to consummation of the Merger, Terex will pay to each holder of record of Notes as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 26, 2015, who delivered a valid consent prior to the Expiration Time, a cash fee of $17.50 for each $1,000 principal amount of 2021 Notes and $10.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of 2020 Notes consented to by such holder. Holders of Notes of any series who did not submit consents prior to the Expiration Time will not receive a consent fee, even if the proposed amendments become operative with respect to such series of Notes. Subject to applicable law, the consent solicitation with respect to either series of Notes may be abandoned or terminated for any reason at any time, including after the Expiration Time and prior to the applicable proposed amendments becoming operative, in which case the consents received with respect to such series of Notes will be voided and no consent fee will be paid to any holders with respect to such consents.
Consummation of the Merger is expected to occur in the first half of 2016, subject to satisfaction of closing conditions including approval by Terex’s stockholders and Konecranes’ shareholders.
