LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Tutor Perini Corporation (NYSE: TPC) (the “Company”), a leading civil
and building construction company, today announced it has priced an
offering of $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior
Notes due 2025 (the “notes”) in a private offering. The sale of the
notes is expected to be completed on or about April 20, 2017. The notes
will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will be
guaranteed by certain of its subsidiaries.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering, together
with borrowings under a new revolving credit facility, to repurchase any
and all of its outstanding 7.625% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “2018
Notes”) through a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) announced on April
10, 2017 and subsequent redemption, to pay off its existing term loan
and existing revolver and to pay transaction fees and expenses related
to the offering. The offering, amount and terms of the notes are subject
to market conditions.
The notes and related guarantees are being offered only to persons
reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on
Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”) or, outside the United States, to persons other than “U.S.
persons” in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. This
press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation
of an offer to buy the notes and related guarantees. Any offers of the
notes and related guarantees will be made only by means of a private
offering circular. The notes and related guarantees have not been
registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any other
jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States
without registration or an applicable exemption from registration
requirements.
The terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are described in an
Offer to Purchase, dated April 10, 2017 (the “Statement”), which has
been sent to holders of the 2018 Notes. This press release is not an
offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to sell any 2018 Notes.
The Tender Offer is made only by, and pursuant to the terms of, the
Statement. In addition, this press release does not constitute a notice
of redemption of the 2018 Notes under the optional redemption provisions
of the indenture governing the 2018 Notes.
