RIO DE
JANEIRO, Oct. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Globo
Comunicação e Participações S.A. (the "Company" or "Globo") hereby
announces the early tender results of its previously announced cash
tender offers (the "Tender Offers") to purchase up to $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount,
subject to increase or decrease by Globo, in its sole discretion
(the "Maximum Tender Amount") of (i) its outstanding 4.875% Senior
Notes due 2030 (the "2030 Notes") from each registered holder of
Notes (each a "2030 Note Holder"), subject to a tender sub-cap of
US$150.0 million aggregate principal
amount of 2030 Notes (the "Tender Sub-Cap"), and (ii) its
outstanding 5.500% Sustainability-Linked Senior Notes due 2032 (the
"2032 Notes" and, together with the 2030 Notes, the "Notes") from
each registered holder of Notes (each a "2032 Note Holder" and,
together with the 2030 Note Holders, the "Holders").
The Tender Offers are being made pursuant to the Offer to
Purchase dated as of September 30,
2024 (the "Offer to Purchase"), which set forth the terms
and conditions of the Tender Offers. Any capitalized term used but
not defined in this press release has the respective meaning set
forth in the Offer to Purchase.
According to information received from D.F. King & Co.,
Inc., the information and tender agent for the Tender Offers (the
"Information and Tender Agent"), as of 5:00
p.m., New York City time,
on October 11, 2024 (that date and
time, the "Early Tender Date"), Globo had received valid tenders
from (i) 2030 Note Holders of US$216,906,000 in aggregate principal amount of
the 2030 Notes, and (ii) 2032 Note Holders of US$99,586,000 in aggregate principal amount of
the 2032 Notes.
Globo has elected to accept the Notes that were validly tendered
and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date,
subject to the Acceptance Priority Procedures (as described in the
Offer to Purchase), the Maximum Tender Amount, the Tender Sub-Cap
and proration. The aggregate principal amount of 2030 Notes and the
aggregate principal amount of 2032 Notes that have been accepted
are shown in the table below. Appropriate adjustments have been
made so that purchases are made in the minimum denominations set
forth in the Offer to Purchase.

Subject to the Maximum
Tender Amount, the Tender Sub-Cap and proration, the principal
amount of each series of Notes that is purchased in the Tender
Offers will be determined in accordance with the applicable
Acceptance Priority Level (in numerical priority order with 1 being
the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 2 being the lowest)
specified in this column.
|
(2)
|
The amount to be paid
for each US$1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered at or
prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase. The Total
Consideration includes the Tender Offer Consideration plus
an Early Tender Premium of US$50 for each US$1,000 principal amount
of the 2030 Notes and the 2032 Notes. In addition, Accrued Interest
(as defined below) will be paid.
|
As described in the Offer to Purchase, Notes validly tendered
and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date, and
accepted for purchase, will have priority to other Notes validly
tendered following the Early Tender Date even if such Notes validly
tendered following the Early Tender Notes have a higher Acceptance
Priority Level than Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early
Tender Date. Although the Tender Offers are scheduled to expire at
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 29, 2024, unless extended (the
"Expiration Date"), because the aggregate principal amount of Notes
validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by the Early Tender Date
exceeds the Maximum Tender Amount, Globo does not expect to accept
for purchase any tenders of Notes after the Early Tender Date,
regardless of their Acceptance Priority Level. Any Notes tendered
after the Early Tender Date will be promptly credited to the
account of the Holder of such Notes maintained with DTC or
otherwise returned to the Holder without cost.
The deadline for Holders to validly withdraw tenders of Notes
has passed. Accordingly, Notes that were tendered before the Early
Tender Date may no longer be validly withdrawn, except in certain
limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are
required by applicable law (as determined by the Company).
The early settlement date on which Globo will settle the Notes
accepted in the Tender Offers is expected to be October 17, 2024 (the "Early Settlement
Date").
Holders of Notes accepted for purchase by Globo will be eligible
to receive the applicable "Total Consideration" for each
US$1,000 principal amount of each
series of Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or
prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase pursuant
to the Tender Offers, which will be the amount set forth in the
table above, and includes the applicable Early Tender Premium and
the applicable Tender Offer Consideration, in each case as set
forth in the table on the cover of the Offer to Purchase and as
applicable to each series of Notes. In addition to the Total
Consideration, all Holders of Notes tendered at or prior to the
Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase will receive accrued
and unpaid interest, rounded to the nearest cent, on such
$1,000 principal amount of Notes from
the last applicable interest payment date up to, but not including,
the applicable Settlement Date (the "Accrued Interest").
The Tender Offers for the Notes are conditioned upon the
satisfaction of certain customary conditions, as described in the
Offer to Purchase. The conditions to the Tender Offers are for
the sole benefit of Globo and may be asserted by Globo, regardless
of the circumstances giving rise to any such condition (including
any action or inaction by Globo). Globo reserves the right, in its
sole discretion, to waive any and all conditions of the Tender
Offers, at or prior to the Expiration Time. See "Tender
Offers—Conditions to the Tender Offers" in the Offer to
Purchase.
Subject to applicable law and the terms set forth in the Offer
to Purchase, Globo reserves the right to: (i) waive any and all
conditions to any of the Tender Offers; (ii) extend any of the
Tender Offers; (iii) terminate any of the Tender Offers; and (iv)
otherwise amend any of the Tender Offers in any respect. In the
event of the termination of any of the Tender Offers, the Notes
tendered pursuant to the Tender Offers and not previously accepted
and purchased will be promptly returned to the tendering
Holders.

applicable laws, the Tender Offers will not be made to the Holders
of Notes residing in each such jurisdiction.

Manager or the trustee, nor any of their affiliates, makes any

tendering all or any portion of their Notes in response to the
Tender Offers. None of Globo, the Information and Tender Agent, the
Dealer Manager or the trustee, nor any of their affiliates, has
authorized any person to give any information or to make any
