Manchester United Announces Satisfaction of Redemption Condition
June 26 2015 - 4:05PM
Business Wire
On May 28, 2015, MU Finance plc, a subsidiary of Manchester
United plc [NYSE: MANU], issued a notice of redemption for all of
its outstanding US dollar 8.375% notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”)
on June 27, 2015. Funding for this bond redemption is to be
provided by the issuance of new 3.79% Senior Secured Notes due 2027
(the “Notes”) to certain institutional investors. Our obligation to
redeem any of the 2017 Notes was conditioned upon the completion of
a financing transaction, including the Notes offering. On June 26,
2015, we closed the issuance of the Notes and accordingly the
redemption condition has been satisfied.
This announcement does not constitute a notice of redemption for
any of the 2017 Notes. The formal notices of redemption are being
provided separately in accordance with the terms of the indenture
governing the 2017 Notes.
The Notes are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption
from the registration requirements under Section 4(a)(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule
506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Notes have not been
registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities
laws. Accordingly, the Notes may not be offered or sold in the
United States except pursuant to an effective registration
statement or an applicable exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act and such applicable state
securities laws.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of,
these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an
offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration
or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or
jurisdiction.
