DYN Dynegy Inc. (delisted)

Dynegy Inc. (NYSE:DYN) (we, us, our or Dynegy) increased the aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6.75% senior notes due 2019 (Securities) that it is offering to purchase pursuant to its previously announced tender offer (Tender Offer) from $1.2 billion to $1.25 billion (as so increased, the Tender Cap Amount).

Except as set forth above, the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer described in the Offer to Purchase, dated August 7, 2017 (Offer to Purchase), remain unchanged. Holders of the Securities are urged to carefully read the Offer to Purchase before making any decision with respect to the Tender Offer.

The Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on September 1, 2017 (such date and time, as it may be extended by us, the Expiration Date).

The following table summarizes the pricing terms of the Tender Offer:

$2,100,000,000 $1,006 $30 $1,036 (1)   Excludes accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the applicable Settlement Date (as defined below), which will be paid in addition to the Tender Offer Consideration (as defined below) or Total Consideration (as defined below), as applicable. (2) Includes the Early Tender Premium (as defined below).  

The total consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities validly tendered at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 18, 2017 (such date and time, as it may be extended by us, the Early Tender Date), and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer, will be the total consideration set forth in the table above (Total Consideration). The Total Consideration includes the early tender premium for the Securities also set forth in the table above (Early Tender Premium). Holders must validly tender and not subsequently validly withdraw their Securities at or prior to the Early Tender Date in order to be eligible to receive the Total Consideration for such Securities purchased in the Tender Offer.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, each holder who validly tenders and does not subsequently validly withdraw their Securities at or prior to the Early Tender Date will be entitled to receive the Total Consideration, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the applicable Settlement Date (as defined below). Holders who validly tender their Securities after the Early Tender Date but at or prior to the Expiration Date will be entitled to receive the tender offer consideration equal to the Total Consideration less the Early Tender Premium (Tender Offer Consideration), plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the applicable Settlement Date, if and when such Securities are accepted for payment.

Dynegy reserves the right but is under no obligation, at any point following the Early Tender Date and before the Expiration Date, to accept for purchase any Securities validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date (Early Settlement Date), subject to the Tender Cap Amount. The Early Settlement Date will be determined at our option and is currently expected to occur on the business day following the Early Tender Date. Irrespective of whether we choose to exercise our option to have an Early Settlement Date, we will purchase any remaining Securities that have been validly tendered by the Expiration Date and that we choose to accept for purchase, subject to the Tender Cap Amount, on a date promptly following the Expiration Date (Final Settlement Date and, each of the Early Settlement Date and Final Settlement Date, a Settlement Date). The Final Settlement Date is expected to occur on the business day following the Expiration Date.

If the aggregate principal amount of Securities validly tendered in the Tender Offer exceeds the Tender Cap Amount, we will accept such Securities on a pro rata basis. Dynegy reserves the right to increase or decrease the Tender Cap Amount, at any time, subject to compliance with applicable law without extending withdrawal rights.

Securities tendered may be withdrawn from the Tender Offer at or prior to, but not after, 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 18, 2017, unless extended, by following the procedures described in the Offer to Purchase.

The Tender Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum amount of Securities being validly tendered. Our obligation to accept for payment and to pay for the Securities in the Tender Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions as described in the Offer to Purchase, including the consummation of a concurrent notes offering on terms satisfactory to Dynegy (Financing Transaction). We reserve the right, subject to applicable law, to waive any one or more of the conditions with respect to the Tender Offer at any time.

We have issued a conditional notice of redemption to redeem $1.25 billion of the Securities, less the aggregate principal amount of Securities purchased by us in the Tender Offer, conditioned upon the completion of the Financing Transaction. The redemption is expected to occur on September 6, 2017. The Securities are currently redeemable at a price of 103.375% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. This news release does not constitute a notice of redemption of the Securities.
