AECOM announces launch of exchange offer for $1 billion aggregate principal amount of its 5.125% Senior Notes due 2027

 

LOS ANGELES—(BUSINESS WIRE)—(May 26, 2017) — AECOM (NYSE: ACM), a premier, fully integrated global infrastructure firm, announced today that it has launched an offer to exchange new registered notes for the outstanding unregistered notes that it issued in February 2017 in a private placement pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

AECOM is offering to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) $1 billion aggregate principal amount of its newly issued 5.125% Senior Notes due 2027, as well as all related guarantees (the “Exchange Notes”) for a like principal amount of its outstanding 5.125% Senior Notes due 2027, as well as all related guarantees (the “Old Notes”).  The Exchange Notes have been registered under the Securities Act and will be guaranteed by AECOM’s subsidiaries that guarantee the Old Notes.  AECOM will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the Exchange Notes.  The sole purpose of the Exchange Offer is to fulfill AECOM’s obligations under the registration rights agreement entered into with holders of the Old Notes in connection with the February 2017 offering.

 

The Exchange Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on June 26, 2017, unless otherwise extended (such date and time, as they may be extended, the “Expiration Date”).  The settlement date for the Exchange Offer will occur as promptly as practicable following the Expiration Date. The Exchange Offer is made only pursuant to AECOM’s prospectus dated May 26, 2017, which has been filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. AECOM has not authorized any person to provide information other than as set forth in the prospectus.

 

Copies of the exchange offer prospectus and related materials may be obtained from the exchange agent for the Exchange Offer, U.S. Bank National Association, by emailing or faxing a request to cts.specfinance@usbank.com or (651) 466-7372 (for Eligible Institutions only) or by mailing or delivering a request to U.S. Bank National Association, Global Corporate Trust Services, 111 Fillmore Ave. East, EP-MN-WS2N, St. Paul, MN 55107, Attention: Specialized Finance.

 

This press release is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to buy, nor a solicitation of an offer to sell, the Exchange Notes or any other securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
