As of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on December 9, 2022 (the "Early Tender Date"), according to information received from D.F. King & Co., Inc., the information and tender agent for the Offer, U.S.
The following table sets forth the principal amount of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, as well as the principal amount of Notes that CEMIG GT expects to accept after giving effect to the Maximum Amount and proration (as described below).
Title of | CUSIPs | ISINs | Principal | Maximum | Principal Amount Validly | Principal Amount |
| 12517M AA0 | US12517MAA09 | U.S. | U.S. | U.S. | U.S. |
(1) The Maximum Amount equals an aggregate principal amount of Notes of U.S. (2) As reported by D.F. King & Co., Inc., the information and tender agent for the Offer, as of the Early Tender Date.
| ||||||
Because the aggregate principal amount of the Notes validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn, at or prior to the Early Tender Date did not exceed the Maximum Amount, CEMIG GT expects to purchase all of the Notes validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn, at or prior to the Early Tender Date on the terms described below.
The Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on December 23, 2022, unless earlier terminated or extended by CEMIG GT (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the "Expiration Date"). Holders of Notes not validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date may tender Notes on or prior to the Expiration Date. CEMIG GT will only purchase Notes validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn, on or prior to the Expiration Date, up to the Maximum Amount. If the purchase of all Notes validly tendered in the Offer after the Early Tender Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date would cause CEMIG GT to purchase an aggregate principal amount of Notes that would exceed the Maximum Amount, then CEMIG GT will (assuming satisfaction or, where applicable, the waiver of the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase) accept for purchase such tendered Notes on a prorated basis such that CEMIG GT purchases an aggregate principal amount of Notes that would not exceed the Maximum Amount in the Offer. All Notes not accepted as a result of proration will be rejected from the Offer and promptly returned to the tendering Holder.
Holders who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw Notes in the Offer at or prior to the Early Tender Date will be eligible to receive the total consideration of U.S.
Holders who validly tender and do not validly withdraw their Notes after the Early Tender Date, but on or prior to the Expiration Date, will be eligible to receive the tender consideration of U.S.
In addition to the Total Consideration, holders whose Notes are validly tendered and accepted for purchase in the Offer at or prior to the Early Tender Date will also receive accrued and unpaid interest from, and including, the last interest payment date to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date (as defined below).
The settlement date for the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or before the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase (the "Early Settlement Date") is expected to be December 21, 2022.
For any Notes that have been validly tendered and not previously settled on the Early Settlement Date, if any, and any Notes that have been validly tendered after the Early Tender Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date (exclusive of Notes purchased on the Early Settlement Date, if any) and that are accepted for purchase, settlement will occur on the date that we settle all Notes not previously settled on the Early Settlement Date, if any (the "Final Settlement Date"), subject to all conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase having been satisfied or, where possible, waived by CEMIG GT. The Final Settlement Date for the Offer is expected to be promptly following the Expiration Date. Assuming that the Offer is not extended and all conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase have been satisfied or, where applicable, waived by CEMIG GT, it expects that the Final Settlement Date will occur on or about two Business Days following the Expiration Date.
Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase in the Offer after the Early Tender Date, but on or prior to the Expiration Date, shall receive accrued and unpaid interest from, and including, the last interest payment date to, but not including, the Final Settlement Date, payable on the Final Settlement Date.
The deadline for holders of Notes to validly withdraw tenders of Notes has passed. Accordingly, Notes tendered at or before the Early Tender Date may not be withdrawn or revoked, except as required by applicable law.
CEMIG GT's obligation to accept for purchase, and pay for, Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, subject to proration, is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver by CEMIG GT of a number of conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including the Financing Condition.
CEMIG GT has the right, in its sole discretion, to amend or terminate the Offer at any time, subject to applicable law.
