LIMA, Peru, May 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hunt Oil Company of Peru L.L.C., Sucursal del Perú ("HOCP") announced today that it has received the consents necessary to effect the Amendments (as described below) to the indenture (the "Indenture") governing its 6.375% Trust Enhanced Senior Notes due 2028 (CUSIP Nos.: Rule 144A: 445640 AB1, Regulation S: P5300P AB9), (ISINs: Rule 144A: US445640AB18, Regulation S: USP5300PAB96) (the "Notes"). The Notes were originally issued in an aggregate principal amount of US$600,000,000 (the "Original Principal Amount"). Following the scheduled repayment of 4.2% of the Original Principal Amount on December 1, 2021, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 15, 2022 (the "Record Date"), US$574,800,000 in principal amount of the Notes remained Outstanding (the "Outstanding Principal Amount").
The Amendments, once effective, will modify the Indenture related to the incurrence of indebtedness to permit (i) an increase in a working capital facility from US$30 million to up to US$100 million and (ii) the incurrence of debt not to exceed 5% of the consolidated net tangible assets of the Company calculated as of the date of such incurrence (the "Amendments").
Full details of the terms and conditions of the consent solicitation, including the Amendments, were included in the consent solicitation statement, dated April 18, 2022.
HOCP received the consents of holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on April 29, 2022 (the "Expiration Date"). As a result, HOCP and Citibank, N.A., as trustee, registrar, paying agent and transfer agent, have entered into the supplemental indenture, dated as of April 29, 2022, which effects the Amendments (the "Supplemental Indenture"). The Amendments will become operative upon payment of the Consent Payment (as described below).
HOCP will make or cause to be made to each consenting holder of record as of the Record Date who validly delivered its consent prior to the Expiration Date a cash payment of US$2.50 for each US$1,000 of the Original Principal Amount of Notes (which corresponds to approximately US$2.39 for each US$1,000 of the Outstanding Principal Amount of Notes). The Consent Payment is expected to be paid no later than on May 9, 2022.
