Mondelēz International, Inc. (Nasdaq: MDLZ) (“Mondelēz
International” or the “Guarantor”) announces today that its
fully-owned subsidiary Mondelez International Holdings Netherlands
B.V. (the “Issuer”) has priced an offering (the “Offering”) of EUR
300 million of senior unsecured bonds (the “Bonds”), fully and
unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantee” and together with the
Bonds, the “Securities”) by the Guarantor, exchangeable into
existing ordinary shares in the capital of JDE Peet’s N.V.
(Euronext Amsterdam: JDEP) a public limited liability company
(naamloze vennootschap) incorporated under the law of the
Netherlands, registered with the Dutch trade register under number
73160377 (“JDE Peet’s” or the “Company”).
The Bonds will have a maturity of three years
(except in case of an early redemption), will not bear interest and
will be issued at an issue price of 102.0% of their principal
amount, corresponding to an annual yield-to-maturity
of -0.66%. Upon exchange, the Bonds may be settled through the
delivery of JDEP ordinary shares currently owned by the Issuer,
with an initial exchange price of EUR 35.40, representing an
exchange premium of 30% to the reference price, being the
volume-weighted average price of a JDEP share on Euronext Amsterdam
between launch and pricing of the Bonds, or settled in cash. The
Bonds will be redeemed at their principal amount at maturity,
subject to the Issuer’s option to alternatively satisfy such
obligation by delivering the exchange property and, as the case may
be, an additional amount in cash.
The Issuer will have the option to redeem all,
but not only some, of the Bonds, at any time on or after September
20, 2023 at their principal amount, provided that the value of the
exchange property per Bond attributable to EUR 200,000 in principal
amount of Bonds shall have exceeded EUR 260,000 on each of not less
than 20 trading days in any period of 30 consecutive trading
days.
The underlying exchange property will be subject
to adjustments upon the occurrence of certain corporate events
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Bonds.
The proceeds of the Offering will be used for
general corporate purposes, including the Chipita acquisition.
Following the offering of the Securities and
assuming exchange in full of the Bonds (with settlement exclusively
in JDE Peet’s shares), based on its current ownership interest the
Issuer would directly or indirectly retain a stake of approximately
21% in the Company’s share capital and remain a significant
shareholder of JDE Peet’s.
The Securities have not been and will not be
registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”) and may not be offered or sold in the United
States, or to or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person absent
registration or an applicable exemption from such registration
requirements. Terms used in this paragraph without definition shall
have the meaning given to them in Regulation S under the Securities
Act.
The Securities were offered as part of a private
placement to qualified investors outside Australia, Canada, Japan
or South Africa. The Bonds may not be offered or sold to retail
investors. No Key Information Document (within the meaning of the
EU PRIIPS Regulation or the UK PRIIPS Regulation) has been or will
be prepared.
Settlement of the Bonds is expected to occur on
September 20, 2021 (the “Issue Date”).
Application will be made for the Bonds to be
admitted to trading on the Global Exchange Market which is the
exchange regulated market of Euronext Dublin or the Open Market
segment (Freiverkehr) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (or another
internationally recognised, regularly operating, regulated or
non-regulated stock exchange or securities market) no later than 60
days after the Issue Date.
This press release is neither an offer to sell
nor the solicitation of an offer to buy the Bonds or any other
securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale
in any jurisdiction in which, or to any persons to whom, such an
offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.
