Cytec Industries Inc. (NYSE:CYT) today announced the expiration and
final results of its offer to purchase up to $250,000,000 in aggregate
principal amount, less any amount accepted in the Any and All Tender
Offer of its 5.50% Notes due October 1, 2010 (the “Any and All Tender
Offer”), of its 4.60% Notes due July 1, 2013 (the “Maximum Tender
Offer”). The Maximum Tender Offer was made pursuant to an Offer to
Purchase dated June 30, 2009 (the “Offer to Purchase”), which sets forth
a complete description of the terms of the offer and a related offer.
As of 12:00 a.m., New York City time, on July 29, 2009, the aggregate
principal amount of 2013 Notes tendered was $70,123,000. As previously
announced, Cytec accepted $234,590,000 principal amount of 2010 Notes in
the Any and All Tender Offer. Because the aggregate principal amount of
2013 Notes tendered exceeded the Maximum Tender Amount, notes will be
purchased on a pro rata basis. As a result, Cytec accepted $15,410,000
in principal amount of 2013 Notes for payment, with settlement expected
today. The proration factor, as determined pursuant to the Offer to
Purchase, is approximately 22%.
Holders, whose 2013 Notes have been accepted for payment and who
tendered before the “Early Tender Date” of 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on July 14, 2009, will receive $950 per $1,000 principal amount of
notes accepted for payment, which includes the Early Tender Premium of
$20 per $1,000 principal amount. Holders, whose 2013 Notes have been
accepted for payment and who tendered after the Early Tender Date, will
receive $930 per $1,000 principal amount of notes accepted for payment.
