ORLANDO, Fla., June 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Tupperware Brands Corporation (NYSE: TUP) (the "Company" or "Tupperware") today announced the expiration and final tender results of its previously announced offer (the "First Offer") to purchase for cash up to $175 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 4.750% Senior Notes due 2021 (the "Notes") that were validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 23, 2020 (the "First Offer Expiration Time").

The Company also announced the early tender results of its previously announced offer (the "Second Offer" and, together with the First Offer, the "Tender Offers") to purchase for cash up to the Second Offer Maximum Tender Amount of Notes that were validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 23, 2020 (the "Second Offer Early Tender Time"). The "Second Offer Maximum Tender Amount" is $175 million aggregate principal amount of Notes less the aggregate principal amount of the Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the First Offer and accepted for purchase in the Second Offer.

With respect to the Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) (i) in the First Offer at or prior to the First Offer Expiration Time and (ii) in the Second Offer at or prior to the Second Offer Early Tender Time, the Company will accept such Notes for purchase in the Second Offer and elect to make payment for such Notes on June 25, 2020 (the "Second Offer Early Settlement Date"). As previously announced, since Notes have been accepted for purchase under the Second Offer, Notes that were validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) (i) in the First Offer at or prior to the First Offer Expiration Time and (ii) in the Second Offer at or prior to the Second Offer Early Tender Time will be accepted for purchase by the Company in the Second Offer for the "Second Offer Total Consideration" of $575 for each $1,000 principal amount of such Notes. The Second Offer Total Consideration includes the "Second Offer Early Tender Payment" of $40.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in the Second Offer at or prior to the Second Offer Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase by the Company.

Holders of Notes ("Holders") who validly tender (and do not validly withdraw) their Notes in the Second Offer after the Second Offer Early Tender Time but at or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on July 8, 2020 (such date and time, as they may be extended or earlier terminated as described in the Second Offer to Purchase (as defined below), the "Second Offer Expiration Time"), will be eligible to receive only the "Second Offer Tender Offer Consideration" of $535 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which equals the Second Offer Total Consideration reduced by the Second Offer Early Tender Payment. All payments for the Notes purchased in connection with the Second Offer Early Settlement Date will also include accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of Notes purchased from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the Second Offer Early Settlement Date. The Second Offer was conditioned upon there being validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in the Second Offer at least $140 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (the "Minimum Tender Condition"), but the Minimum Tender Condition was waived.

The First Offer is being made on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated May 26, 2020 (as amended, the "First Offer to Purchase").
