Post Holdings (NYSE: POST) announced early tender results for its cash tender offer to purchase up to $475.0 million of its 5.625% senior notes due 2028. As of August 21, 2024, $760,866,000 in principal amount had been validly tendered, exceeding the Maximum Tender Amount. Due to oversubscription, tendered Notes will be subject to proration at approximately 62.47%. The company does not anticipate accepting any Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time.

The Early Tender Consideration will be determined on August 22, 2024, based on a fixed spread plus the U.S. Treasury Reference Security yield. Post Holdings anticipates an Early Settlement Date of August 23, 2024, subject to conditions including sufficient proceeds from a senior notes offering to fund the purchase.

Insights

Post Holdings' tender offer for up to $475 million of its 5.625% Senior Notes due 2028 has been significantly oversubscribed, with $760.9 million tendered. This strong response indicates investors' eagerness to cash out, possibly due to expectations of rising interest rates or concerns about Post's financial outlook.

The company will prorate acceptances at 62.47%, suggesting they'll stick to their $475 million limit. This could disappoint some bondholders who hoped to offload more debt. The early tender premium of $50 per $1,000 principal amount is a standard incentive, but the fixed spread of 50 basis points over the reference Treasury yield implies a relatively modest premium to current market rates.

Post's move to refinance this debt likely aims to reduce interest expenses and extend maturity profiles. However, the need for new senior notes to fund this offer suggests the company isn't using excess cash, which could indicate tight liquidity or strategic cash preservation.

This tender offer reflects Post Holdings' proactive approach to liability management. By targeting $475 million of the $939.9 million outstanding 2028 notes, the company is likely aiming to smooth out its debt maturity profile and potentially lock in lower interest rates if they're issuing new debt to fund this purchase.

The 62.47% proration rate due to oversubscription suggests investors view this offer favorably, possibly seeing it as an opportunity to exit at a premium in an uncertain rate environment. However, this high demand could also signal market concerns about Post's long-term credit quality or general economic outlook.

The company's decision to settle early on August 23 indicates confidence in their new debt issuance and a desire to quickly reduce interest expenses. Overall, this transaction appears to be a prudent financial maneuver, though its ultimate impact will depend on the terms of the new debt issued to fund it.

In no event will the Early Tender Consideration (defined below) payable in respect of the principal amount of Notes tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer exceed $1,018.75 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes so tendered.

(2)

Per $1,000 principal amount.

(3)

The Early Tender Consideration for the Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase is calculated using the Fixed Spread (defined below) and is inclusive of an early tender premium of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.



Priority of Acceptance and Proration

Since the principal amount of Notes tendered as of the Early Tender Time exceeds the Maximum Tender Amount, the Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time will be subject to proration as described in the section "The Terms of the Tender Offer—Maximum Tender Amount; Priority of Acceptance; Proration" of the Offer to Purchase, dated August 8, 2024 (as it may be amended or supplemented, the "Offer to Purchase"), using a proration rate of approximately 62.47%. The Company does not anticipate accepting for purchase any Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time.

Consideration and Accrued Interest

The consideration (the "Early Tender Consideration") offered per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time, and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer, will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the fixed spread for the Notes (the "Fixed Spread") specified in the table above, plus the yield to maturity based on the bid-side price of the U.S. Treasury Reference Security specified in the table above as quoted on the Bloomberg Reference Page specified in the table above at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on August 22, 2024 (the "Price Determination Time"), unless extended or the Tender Offer is earlier terminated by the Company.

Only holders of Notes who validly tendered their Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Time, and whose Notes have been accepted for purchase, will receive the Early Tender Consideration.

In addition to the Early Tender Consideration, holders whose Notes are purchased in the Tender Offer will receive accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date.

Settlement

The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to pay for Notes that are validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time, and that are accepted for purchase, on a date following the Early Tender Time and prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 6, 2024, or any other date and time to which the Company extends the Tender Offer (such earlier date, the "Early Settlement Date"). The Company anticipates that the Early Settlement Date will be August 23, 2024, the second business day after the Early Tender Time, subject to all conditions to the Tender Offer, including that the Company has received proceeds from a senior notes offering sufficient (determined in the Company's sole discretion) to fund the purchase of the Notes, having been satisfied or waived by the Company.

King & Co., Inc. as the depositary and information agent for the Tender Offer.
