Thomas Jefferson University Announces Early Tender Results

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Thomas Jefferson University ("TJU") today announced early tender results.

Pursuant to the Offer to Purchase dated October 16, 2024 (as it may be amended or supplemented, the "Offer to Purchase"), TJU invited Bondholders to tender, subject to the Aggregate Tender Cap and Acceptance Priority Levels, the Securities identified on the table set forth below for cash at the purchase price based on a fixed spread over the Reference Yield based on the bid side price of the U.S. Treasury Reference Security, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Securities tendered for purchase from and including the most recent interest payment date to but excluding the Early Settlement Date or Settlement Date, as applicable, and on the terms and as further described in the Offer to Purchase. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined are used as defined in the Offer to Purchase.

As set forth in the Offer to Purchase, the tender offer is subject to an Aggregate Tender Cap of $108,000,000. Because the principal amount of Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the Early Tender Date exceeds the Aggregate Tender Cap, TJU is accepting Securities in order of priority and on a prorated basis as described in the Offer to Purchase.  As the Aggregate Tender Cap has been met as of the Early Tender Date, TJU will not accept for purchase Securities tendered after the Early Tender Date.  The Early Tender Date occurred at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 29, 2024 and has not been extended. The Total Consideration will be determined at 10:00 a.m. New York City Time, on October 30, 2024 (the "Price Determination Date") and TJU will separately announce the pricing information by press release.

The table set forth below reflects the Securities that TJU has determined to accept or reject for purchase.  The Principal Amount Tendered is as reported by the Tender and Information Agent. The Early Settlement Date is the day on which TJU will make payment of the Total Consideration plus Accrued Interest with respect to Securities that are validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date and that are accepted for purchase.  The Early Settlement Date is expected to be November 13, 2024.  

The tender offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions as set forth in the Offer to Purchase. The tender offer is not subject to minimum tender conditions.
