Camposol S.A. (the "
Company") announced
today that it has commenced a solicitation (the
"
Solicitation") of consents (the
"
Consents") upon the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth in a Notice of Consent Solicitation (as it
may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the
"
Notice") and the related Consent Form (the
"
Consent Form"), each dated as of April 8,
2014, to a proposed waiver (the "
Proposed
Waiver") of certain provisions of the Indenture, dated
as of February 2, 2012 (as amended or supplemented, the
"
Indenture"), among the Company, Camposol
Holding Ltd., as Parent Guarantor, Campoinca S.A. and Marinazul
S.A., as Subsidiary Guarantors, and Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, as trustee (the "
Trustee"),
registrar, transfer agent and paying agent, governing its 9.875%
Senior Notes due 2017 (the "
Notes") (CUSIP
Nos. 134638AA3 (Rule 144A Global Note) and P19189AA0 (Regulation S
Global Note); ISIN Nos. US134638AA39 (Rule 144A Global Note) and
USP19189AA04 (Regulation S Global Note)).
The Company is soliciting Consents from the holders of the Notes
to waive the covenant contained in Section 4.1(a)(i) of the
Indenture, "Limitation on Indebtedness and Disqualified Stock," so
as to permit the Company to incur up to US$75 million in principal
amount of new indebtedness on or before May 15, 2014, to fund its
planned capital expenditures, including investments in plantations,
particularly blueberries and shrimp plantations, as well as
investments to expand its infrastructure. If the covenant in
Section 4.1(a)(i) of the Indenture is not waived as set forth in
the Notice, the financial test set forth in the Indenture would not
be satisfied in connection with the new indebtedness and the new
indebtedness would not be Permitted Indebtedness (as defined in the
Indenture).
The Solicitation will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
on April 16, 2014, or such later time and date to which the
Solicitation is extended (such time and date, the
"Expiration Time"), unless earlier
terminated. The Solicitation is subject to customary
conditions, including, among other things, the receipt of valid
Consents with respect to a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the outstanding Notes (the "Requisite
Consents") prior to the Expiration Time (which
Consents have not been validly revoked prior to the earlier of the
execution of the supplemental indenture (the
"Supplemental Indenture") giving effect to
the Proposed Waiver and the Expiration Time).
In the event that each of the conditions to the Solicitation
described in the Notice are satisfied, including, but not limited
to, the receipt of the Requisite Consents and the satisfaction of
the financing condition, the Company will pay to each person who is
the holder of record of Notes as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
on April 7, 2014 (each such holder, a
"Holder"), who has delivered a valid
Consent in respect of such Notes prior to the Expiration Time (and
has not validly revoked its Consent prior to the earlier of the
execution of the Supplemental Indenture and the Expiration Time),
US$5.00 in cash for each US$1,000 principal amount of such Notes in
respect of which a valid Consent was so delivered (and was not
validly revoked) (the "Consent Fee").
The Company will pay the Consent Fee at such time as all of the
conditions enumerated in the Notice have been satisfied or waived
by the Company. Holders of Notes who deliver Consents but
validly revoke their Consent in accordance with the Notice prior to
the earlier of the execution of the Supplemental Indenture and the
Expiration Time, or who deliver Consents after the Expiration Time,
will not receive a Consent Fee. Subject to applicable law,
the Solicitation may be abandoned or terminated for any reason at
any time, including after the Expiration Time and prior to the
Proposed Waiver becoming operative, as described below, whether or
not the Requisite Consents have been received, in which case any
Consents received will be voided and no Consent Fee will be paid to
any Holders.
If the Requisite Consents are received prior to the Expiration
Time (which Consents have not been validly revoked prior to the
earlier of the execution of the Supplemental Indenture and the
Expiration Time), the Company, the Parent Guarantor and each
Subsidiary Guarantor intend to execute the Supplemental Indenture
promptly following the receipt of the Requisite Consents, which may
be before the Expiration Time. If the Supplemental Indenture is
entered into by the Company, the Parent Guarantor, the Subsidiary
Guarantors and the Trustee and all of the other conditions to the
Solicitation are satisfied or waived by the Company, the Proposed
Waiver will become operative and will bind all Holders of the
Notes, including those that did not give their Consent. If
the Requisite Consents are not received prior to the Expiration
Time, the Supplemental Indenture will not be executed, the Proposed
Waiver will not become operative and the Consent Fee will not be
paid.
