SANTA ANA, Calif., March 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TTM Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTMI) ("TTM") announced today the completion of its previously announced private offering of $500 million in aggregate principal amount of its 4.000% senior notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) in a private offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of TTM and are guaranteed by TTM’s subsidiaries that guarantee its obligations under its term loan due September 2024 and its U.S. asset-based revolving credit facility (the “U.S. ABL Facility”), subject to certain exceptions. TTM also announced today the early settlement of its cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of TTM’s outstanding 5.625% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Existing Notes”).

Pursuant to early settlement of the Tender Offer, TTM accepted for purchase today an aggregate principal amount of $247,186,000, representing approximately 65.92%, of the Existing Notes. In connection with the Tender Offer, TTM received consents in respect of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes approving an amendment to the indenture governing the Existing Notes to shorten the minimum notice period for the optional redemption of the Existing Notes by TTM from 30 calendar days to three business days. As a result, TTM also today called for the optional redemption of all Existing Notes that remain outstanding following the early settlement of the Tender Offer, with an expected redemption date of March 15, 2021 (the “Redemption”).

TTM used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to fund the early settlement of the Tender Offer, and intends to use the remaining net proceeds to (i) fund in full the Redemption, (ii) repay the full amount outstanding under the U.S. ABL Facility (but not terminate the commitments thereunder) and (iii) pay related premiums, fees and expenses. TTM intends to use any unused portion of such remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

The Notes and the related guarantees were offered and sold solely to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act or outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and the related guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities or blue sky laws and foreign securities laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any Notes, nor shall there be any sales of the Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. This press release is not an offer to purchase or the solicitation of an offer to sell any of the Existing Notes. The Tender Offer referenced herein is being made only by and pursuant to the terms of the applicable Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement. The statements in this press release with respect to the redemption of the Existing Notes do not constitute a notice of redemption under the indenture governing the Existing Notes. Any such notice has or will be sent to holders of Existing Notes only in accordance with the provisions of such indenture.
