Post Holdings Announces Early Tender Results of Cash Tender Offer for 5.625% Senior Notes Due 2028

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Post Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: POST) (the "Company" or "Post") today announced the early tender results of the previously announced cash tender offer (the "Tender Offer") to purchase up to $475.0 million in aggregate principal amount (the "Maximum Tender Amount") of its 5.625% senior notes due 2028 (the "Notes").

Early Tender Results

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 21, 2024 (such time and date, the "Early Tender Time"), according to information provided by D.F. King & Co., Inc., the depository and information agent for the Tender Offer, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes set forth in the table below under "Principal Amount Tendered as of August 21, 2024" had been validly tendered in the Tender Offer. Withdrawal rights for the Notes expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on August 21, 2024.

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.

Dealer Manager and Depositary and Information Agent

The Company has appointed Barclays Capital Inc. as dealer manager (the "Dealer Manager") for the Tender Offer. The Company has retained D.F. King & Co., Inc. as the depositary and information agent for the Tender Offer. For additional information regarding the terms of the Tender Offer, please contact: Barclays Capital Inc. at (800) 438-3242 (toll-free) or (212) 528-7581 (collect).

This press release shall not constitute, or form part of, an offer to sell, a solicitation to buy or an offer to purchase or sell any securities. The Tender Offer is being made only pursuant to the Offer to Purchase and only in such jurisdictions as is permitted under applicable law.

From time to time after completion of the Tender Offer, the Company or its affiliates may purchase additional Notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through tender or exchange offers or other methods, or the Company may redeem Notes pursuant to their terms. Any future purchases may be on the same terms or on terms that are more or less favorable to holders of the Notes than the terms of the Tender Offer.
