LISLE, Ill., June 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Navistar
International Corporation ("Navistar") (NYSE: NAV), a leading U.S.
truck maker, today announced that it delivered a Notice of
Conditional Full Redemption (the "Conditional Notice") to the
holders of its outstanding 6.625% Senior Notes due 2025 (the
"Senior Notes"). The Conditional Notice called for redemption of
all the currently outstanding $1,100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the
Senior Notes (the "Redemption") on July 1,
2021 (the "Redemption Date"), subject to the satisfaction or
waiver on or prior to the Redemption Date of the Merger Condition
(as defined below). The redemption price of the Senior Notes is
103.313% of the principal amount redeemed, which amount is equal to
$1033.13 per $1,000 principal amount of the Senior Notes, plus
accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the
Redemption Date.
The Redemption is subject to and expressly conditioned upon the
consummation of the merger of Dusk Inc. (the "Merger Subsidiary"),
a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of TRATON SE, with and into
Navistar (the "Merger"), with Navistar continuing as the surviving
corporation and an indirect subsidiary of TRATON SE following the
consummation of the Merger pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated as of November 7, 2020,
by and among Navistar, TRATON SE and the Merger Subsidiary ("Merger
Agreement") (such consummation, the "Merger Condition"). The
Redemption Date remains subject to the Merger Condition and may be
delayed until such time as the Merger Condition is satisfied or
waived.
Navistar will provide notice to the trustee under the indenture
for the Senior Notes at least one Business Day prior to the
Redemption Date in the event the Redemption Date is extended past
July 1, 2021. Alternatively, in
Navistar's discretion, the Redemption may not occur, and the
Conditional Notice may be rescinded, in the event that the Merger
Condition is not satisfied or waived on or prior to the Redemption
Date or by the Redemption Date, as it may be delayed.
The consummation of the Merger remains subject to regulatory
approvals and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions set
forth in the Merger Agreement. As a result, there can be no
assurance that the Redemption will occur on the Redemption Date or
at all.
