Motorola Solutions Announces Increase in Aggregate Purchase Price of Tender Offers for Certain of its Outstanding Debt
CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI) (the “Company”) announced today
that it has increased the aggregate purchase price of its debt tender
offers to purchase for cash (i) any and all of the Company’s outstanding
securities listed in Table I below (the “Any and All Notes”) (such
offer, the “Any and All Offer”), and (ii) up to the Maximum Waterfall
Tender Amount (as defined below) in aggregate purchase price of the
Company’s outstanding securities listed in Table II below (collectively,
the “Waterfall Notes” and, together with the Any and All Notes, the
“Securities”), subject to the Acceptance Priority Levels as defined
below (such offer, the “Waterfall Offer”).
The “Maximum Waterfall Tender Amount” has been increased from (i) an
aggregate purchase price equal to $500 million less the aggregate
purchase price of the Any and All Notes validly tendered and accepted
for purchase in the Any and All Offer to (ii) an aggregate purchase
price equal to $650 million less the aggregate purchase price of
the Any and All Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase in the
Any and All Offer. All other terms of tender offers remain unchanged.
The tender offers are intended to allow the Company to issue new debt
securities to fund the repurchase of the Securities, thereby extending
the maturity date of its near-term debt securities and reducing the
amounts outstanding under the higher-cost portion of its debt security
portfolio. The Company expects to fund the tender offers with the
proceeds from the issuance and sale of debt securities in one or more
capital markets transactions, together with available cash on hand.

Subject to the Maximum Waterfall Tender Amount, the amounts of each
series of Waterfall Notes that are purchased in the Waterfall Offer will
be determined in accordance with the acceptance priority levels
specified in Table II above (the “Acceptance Priority Levels”), with 1
being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 3 being the lowest
Acceptance Priority Level.
The tender offers are being made pursuant to, and are subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of the terms and conditions, including a
financing condition relating to the receipt of net proceeds from the
completion of our issuance and sale of debt securities in one or more
capital markets transactions, set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated
May 9, 2019, and the related Letter of Transmittal (as they may each be
amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer Documents”). The
tender offers will expire at midnight, New York City time, at the end of
June 6, 2019, unless extended or terminated (the “Expiration Date”).
Tenders of Securities may be properly withdrawn at any time at or prior
to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 22, 2019, but may not be
properly withdrawn thereafter, except where additional withdrawal rights
are required by law.
Holders of Securities that are validly tendered and not properly
withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 22, 2019
(unless extended, the “Early Tender Deadline”) and accepted for purchase
will receive the applicable “Total Consideration,” which includes the
applicable early tender premium specified in the applicable table above
(the “Early Tender Premium”). Payment for Securities that are validly
tendered and not properly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender
Deadline and accepted for purchase will be made as soon as reasonably
practicable following the Early Tender Deadline (such date with respect
to the applicable Offer, the “Early Settlement Date”). The Company
expects that the Early Settlement Date will be May 24, 2019, the first
business day after the Price Determination Date. Holders of Securities
who validly tender their Securities following the Early Tender Deadline
and at or prior to the Expiration Date will only receive the applicable
“Tender Offer Consideration” for Securities accepted for purchase, which
is equal to the applicable Total Consideration minus the applicable
Early Tender Premium.
The prices to be paid for each series of Securities subject to the
tender offers and accepted for purchase will be determined at 11:00
a.m., New York City time, on the first business day following the Early
Tender Deadline (as it may be extended with respect to the applicable
offer, the “Price Determination Date”). Promptly after 11:00 a.m., New
York City time, on the Price Determination Date, the Company will issue
a press release specifying, among other things, the Total Consideration
for each series of Securities and the aggregate principal amount of
Securities validly tendered at or prior to the applicable Early Tender
Deadline and accepted for purchase.
Payments for Securities purchased will 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
applicable settlement date for such Securities accepted for purchase.
If the Waterfall Offer is not fully subscribed as of the Early Tender
Deadline, subject to the Maximum Waterfall Tender Amount, Waterfall
Notes validly tendered and not properly withdrawn at or prior to the
Early Tender Deadline will be accepted for purchase in priority to other
Waterfall Notes tendered following the Early Tender Deadline, even if
such Waterfall Notes tendered following the Early Tender Deadline have a
higher Acceptance Priority Level than Waterfall Notes tendered at or
prior to the Early Tender Deadline.
Waterfall Notes of a series may be subject to proration if the aggregate
purchase price of the Waterfall Notes of such series validly tendered
and not properly withdrawn would cause the Maximum Waterfall Tender
Amount to be exceeded. Furthermore, if the Waterfall Offer is fully
subscribed as of the Early Tender Deadline, holders who validly tender
Waterfall Notes following the Early Tender Deadline will not have any of
their Waterfall Notes accepted for purchase.
The Company’s obligation to accept for payment and to pay for the
Securities validly tendered in the tender offers is subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions, including a financing
condition relating to the receipt of net proceeds from the completion of
our issuance and sale of debt securities in one or more capital markets
transactions, described in the Offer to Purchase.
The company also announced today that it has retained Santander, TD
Securities and US Bancorp to serve as the Co-Dealer Managers in
connection with the tender offers. BofA Merrill Lynch and Mizuho
Securities are serving as the Lead Dealer Managers in connection with
the tender offers. The information agent and tender agent is Global
Bondholder Services Corporation. The full details of the tender offers,
including complete instructions on how to tender Securities, are
included in the Offer Documents. Holders are strongly encouraged to read
carefully the Offer Documents, including materials incorporated by
reference therein, because they will contain important information.
Copies of the Offer Documents and related offering materials are
available by contacting the information agent at (212) 430-3774 (banks
and brokers) or (866) 807-2200 (all others). Questions regarding the
tender offers should be directed to the Lead Dealer Managers, BofA
Merrill Lynch, at (980) 387-3907 or (888) 292-0070 (toll free) or Mizuho
Securities, at (212) 205-7736 or (866) 271-7403 (toll free).
None of the Company or its affiliates, their respective boards of
directors, the dealer managers, the information agent and tender agent
or the trustee with respect to any Securities is making any
recommendation as to whether holders should tender any Securities in
response to the tender offers, and neither the Company nor any such
other person has authorized any person to make any such recommendation.
Holders must make their own decision as to whether to tender any of
their Securities, and, if so, the principal amount of Securities to
tender.
This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell, a solicitation
to buy or an offer to purchase or sell any securities. The tender offers
are being made only pursuant to the Offer to Purchase and only in such
jurisdictions as is permitted under applicable law.
