Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
|
On March 15, 2018, The AES Corporation (the
Company or AES) announced the results of the early settlement of its tender offer (the Tender Offer) to purchase for cash any and all of its outstanding 8.00% senior notes due 2020 (the 2020 Notes) and
7.375% senior notes due 2021 (the 2021 Notes, and, together with the 2020 Notes, the Notes). In conjunction with the Tender Offer, AES also commenced a solicitation of consents (the Consent Solicitation and,
collectively with the Tender Offer, the Offer) to amend the indenture governing the Notes to shorten the notice requirements for optional redemption with respect to each series of the Notes from thirty days to three business days (the
Proposed Amendments).
In connection with the Tender Offer, AES received the requisite consents of holders of each series of the Notes, and
entered into a Twenty-Third Supplemental Indenture dated March 15, 2018 between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Bank One, National Association (formerly known as The First
National Bank of Chicago), as Trustee (the Trustee), to amend the indenture governing the Notes to give effect to the Proposed Amendments (the Supplemental Indenture).
AES previously announced that it completed on March 15, 2018 its offering of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.000% Senior Notes due 2021
and $500,000,000 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.500% senior notes due 2023. AES used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to finance the early settlement of the Offer and intends to use the remaining proceeds to retire
outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.
The foregoing description of the Supplemental Indenture does not purport to be complete and
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Supplemental Indenture, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
