NORWELL, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 13, 2012--
Clean Harbors, Inc. (“Clean Harbors”) (NYSE:CLH) announced today the
completion of its previously announced tender offer and consent
solicitation (collectively, the “Tender Offer”) to purchase any and all
of its previously outstanding $490.0 million aggregate principal amount
of 7 5/8% senior secured notes due 2016 (the “2016 Notes”). As
previously announced, Clean Harbors received, on or prior to 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on July 27, 2012 (the “Consent Date”), tenders and
consents from the holders of an aggregate principal amount of $339.1
million of 2016 Notes, or 69.2% of the total outstanding, and Clean
Harbors paid on July 30, 2012 to the holders of such tendered notes
$1,041.38 per $1,000.00 in principal amount of 2016 Notes validly
tendered (the “Total Consideration”), plus accrued but unpaid interest
up to, but not including, the payment date. The Total Consideration
included a consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000.00 in principal amount
of 2016 Notes validly tendered (the “Consent Payment”). The consents
received exceeded the amount needed to approve the proposed amendments
described in Clean Harbors’ Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation
Statement dated July 16, 2012 (the “Offer to Purchase”) to the indenture
under which the 2016 Notes were issued (the “Indenture”).
Under the terms of the Offer to Purchase, any holders which validly
tendered after the Consent Date but prior to the expiration of the
Tender Offer at midnight, New York City time, on August 10, 2012 (the
“Expiration Date”), would be entitled to receive $1,011.38 per $1,000.00
in principal amount of 2016 Notes validly tendered, plus accrued but
unpaid interest up to, but not including, the payment date. Such payment
would represent the Total Consideration less the Consent Payment.
Holders of $10,000.00 principal amount of the 2016 Notes validly
tendered their 2016 Notes in the Tender Offer after the Consent Date but
prior to the Expiration Date and the Company purchased those tendered
2016 Notes on August 13, 2012 in accordance with the terms of the Offer
to Purchase described above. The Company intends to redeem all of the
remaining 2016 Notes which were not tendered in the Tender Offer on
August 15, 2012 for a redemption price equal to $1,038.13 per $1,000.00
principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest up to, but not
including, the redemption date, in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture, as amended pursuant to the amendments approved through the
consents received on or prior to the Consent Date, and the notice of
redemption which the Company issued on July 30, 2012.
