ERJ Embraer SA

SÃO PAULO, Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Embraer S.A. ("Embraer") (NYSE: ERJ) announces the early results of its previously announced offer to purchase for cash up to US$150,000,000 in aggregate principal amount (the "Maximum Principal Amount") of the outstanding 6.950% senior unsecured guaranteed notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes"), issued by Embraer Netherlands Finance B.V. ("Embraer Finance") and unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by Embraer (the "Tender Offer").

The Tender Offer was made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated February 5, 2025 (the "Offer to Purchase") relating to the 2028 Notes. Information regarding the 2028 Notes and the early results of the Tender Offer is summarized in the following table:

Information on the Tender Offer

The Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 6, 2025, unless extended or earlier terminated by Embraer (such time and date, as it may be extended, the "Capped Expiration Date"). Holders of 2028 Notes who validly tendered (and did not validly withdraw) their 2028 Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 19, 2025 (such time and date, the "Capped Early Tender Date") are eligible to receive the applicable Capped Total Consideration, as determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the applicable Fixed Spread (as set forth in the table above) plus the applicable yield based on the bid-side price of the applicable U.S. Treasury Reference Security specified in the table above at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on February 20, 2025. Embraer expects to announce the pricing of the Tender Offer on February 20, 2025.

D.F. King & Co., Inc., the tender agent and the information agent for the Tender Offer (the "Tender and Information Agent"), informed that, as of the Capped Early Tender Date, US$205,212,000 in aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes had been validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) by holders of 2028 Notes.

As the aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) by holders of 2028 Notes as of the Capped Early Tender Date exceeds the Maximum Principal Amount, the Tender Offer has been oversubscribed. Embraer has accepted for purchase 2028 Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in the Tender Offer at or prior to the Capped Early Tender Date up to the Maximum Principal Amount, resulting in a proration factor of approximately 60.3%.

All conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including the Financing Condition, have been satisfied, and Embraer has accepted for purchase 2028 Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Capped Early Tender Date as prorated by the Proration Factor. Any tendered 2028 Notes that are not accepted for purchase will be returned or credited without expense to the holder's account. 

As the aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) by holders of 2028 Notes as of the Capped Early Tender Date exceeds the Maximum Principal Amount, Embraer will not accept for purchase any 2028 Notes tendered after the Capped Early Tender Date.

Conditions to the Tender Offer

The Tender Offer is not conditioned upon the tender of any minimum principal amount of 2028 Notes. However, the Tender Offer is subject to the Maximum Principal Amount. Embraer reserves the right to amend the Tender Offer at any time in its sole discretion, subject to compliance with applicable law and to not accept any tenders of 2028 Notes for any reason.

Settlement

Holders of 2028 Notes that have validly tendered and not validly withdrawn their 2028 Notes at or prior to the Capped Early Tender Date will receive the Capped Total Consideration on the early settlement date, which date is expected to be on February 21, 2025 (the "Capped Early Settlement Date"). Embraer will pay holders of the 2028 Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase on a pro rata basis according to the proration procedures described in the Offer to Purchase.
