Motorola Solutions Announces Pricing Terms of its Debt Tender Offer
CHICAGO – August 24, 2020 — Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI) (the “Company”) announced today the pricing terms of its previously announced debt tender offer to purchase for cash up to the Maximum Waterfall Tender Amount (as defined below) in aggregate purchase price of the Company’s outstanding debt securities listed in the Table below (collectively, the “Securities”), subject to the Acceptance Priority Levels as defined below. The “Maximum Waterfall Tender Amount” is an aggregate purchase price equal to $315 million. The Company also announced the principal amount of each series of Securities that it expects to accept pursuant to the tender offer, subject to the satisfaction of waiver of certain conditions, as described below. The tender offer is being made upon and is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated August 10, 2020, and the related Letter of Transmittal (as they may each be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer Documents”).
The “Total Consideration” for each series of Securities is payable to holders of the Securities who validly tendered and did not properly withdraw their Securities at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 21, 2020 (the “Early Tender Deadline”) and whose Securities are accepted for purchase by the Company. The Reference Yields listed in the table below were determined at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on August 24, 2020 (the “Price Determination Date”) by the dealer managers. Payments for Securities purchased in connection with the Early Tender Deadline will also include accrued and unpaid interest from and including the last interest payment date applicable to the relevant series of Securities up to, but not including, the early settlement date for such Securities accepted for purchase, which is currently expected to be August 25, 2020 (the “Early Settlement Date”).
As listed in the table above, the Company expects to accept for purchase, and pay for, $2,737,000 aggregate principal amount of its 7.500% Debentures due 2025, $2,611,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.500% Debentures due 2025, $275,971,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.500% Senior Notes due 2023, and $11,583,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.00% Senior Notes due 2024, on the Early Settlement Date.
The Company’s obligation to accept for payment and pay for the Securities validly tendered in the tender offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase.
Although the tender offer is scheduled to expire at midnight, New York City time, at the end of September 4, 2020, unless extended or terminated, because the tender offer was fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Deadline, the Company does not expect to accept for purchase any Securities tendered after the Early Tender Deadline.
Securities not accepted for purchase will be promptly returned or credited to the holder’s account. The withdrawal deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 21, 2020 has passed and, accordingly, Securities validly tendered in the tender offer may no longer be withdrawn except where additional withdrawal rights are required by law.
