CHICAGO, June 15, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (Nasdaq:RRD) ("RR Donnelley" or the "Company") today announces the expiration and final results of its offers (the "Offers") to purchase up to $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount in an any and all tender offer for its 11.25% Notes due February 1, 2019 (the "2019 Notes") and in maximum tender offers for its 6.125% Notes due January 15, 2017 (the "2017 Notes") and 5.50% Notes due May 15, 2015 (the "2015 Notes", together with the 2019 Notes and the 2017 Notes, the "Securities").
The following table sets forth information regarding the Securities that were subject to the Offers and the results of the Offers, including the aggregate principal amounts of Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 14, 2011 (the "Expiration Date").
As of the Expiration Date, the aggregate principal amount of 2019 Notes tendered was $216,190,000, of which $216,166,000 were tendered prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 31, 2011 (the "Early Tender Date") and were accepted for payment on the early tender settlement date on June 1, 2011. RR Donnelley announces that it has accepted for payment $24,000 aggregate principal amount of 2019 Notes that were validly tendered after the Early Tender Date and prior to the Expiration Date, and expects to make payment on such 2019 Notes today. The holders of such 2019 Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date will not receive an early tender premium.
As of the Expiration Date, the aggregate principal amount of 2017 Notes tendered was $258,885,000, of which $258,443,000 were tendered prior to the Early Tender Date. As of the Expiration Date, the aggregate principal amount of 2015 Notes tendered was $122,462,000, of which $121,690,000 were tendered prior to the Early Tender Date. As described in the Offer to Purchase (as defined below), because the aggregate principal amount of Securities within an Acceptance Priority Level that were validly tendered exceeded the Maximum Principal Amount to be Accepted (as set forth in the table above) following the purchase of Securities pursuant to the any and all offer for the 2019 Notes and, in the case of the 2015 Notes, of Securities tendered with a numerically lower Acceptance Priority Level, RR Donnelley will accept such validly tendered Securities in such Acceptance Priority Level, in the aggregate, on a pro rated basis (rounded downward such that Securities purchased will be in integral multiples of $1,000, but not less than the minimum principal amount to be accepted) with a pro ration factor of approximately 38.6% applicable to 2017 Notes and a pro ration factor of approximately 81.7% applicable to 2015 Notes.
Accordingly, RR Donnelley announces that it has accepted for payment $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2017 Notes and $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2015 Notes. RR Donnelley expects to make payment on such Securities today. Holders of the 2017 Notes and 2015 Notes whose Securities were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the Early Tender Date and are accepted for payment by RR Donnelley are entitled to receive the applicable early tender premium.
The Offers were made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase dated May 17, 2011 (the "Offer to Purchase") and the related Letter of Transmittal dated May 17, 2011 (the "Letter of Transmittal"), which set forth a complete description of the terms of the Offers.
