ST. LOUIS, Feb. 04, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Post Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:POST) (the “Company” or “Post”) today announced it is soliciting consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of its outstanding 5.00% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) to approve amendments to the indenture relating to the Notes (the “Indenture”). The amendments would more closely align certain provisions of the Indenture with the comparable provisions included in the indentures for the Company’s other senior notes, specifically to (i) add an exception to the restricted payments covenant in the Indenture and (ii) revise the “Permitted Investments” definition in the Indenture to add an additional category of “Permitted Investments” under the Indenture. Adoption of the proposed amendments requires the consent of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes (the “Requisite Consents”).

Certain information regarding the Notes is set forth in the table below.

The Consent Solicitation will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 11, 2019, unless the Company extends it at its sole discretion (such date and time, as it may be extended, the “Expiration Time”). The Company anticipates that the effective time of the amendments to the Indenture (the “Effective Time”) will occur promptly after the receipt of the Requisite Consents at or prior to the Expiration Time. The Effective Time may be prior to the Expiration Time, and holders of the Notes will not be given prior notice of the Effective Time. Consents that have been validly delivered may be validly revoked until, but not after, the Effective Time. If the proposed amendments to the Indenture are approved, the amendments will be binding on all holders of the Notes, including those that did not deliver their consent, but only holders delivering valid and unrevoked consents on or prior to the Expiration Time will receive a pro rata portion of the Aggregate Consent Payment described below. The Consent Solicitation is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the receipt of the Requisite Consents at or prior to the Expiration Time. The Company may amend, extend or terminate the Consent Solicitation in its sole discretion and subject to applicable law.

Post is offering to pay each holder who validly consents and does not revoke such consent prior to the Expiration Time a pro rata portion of the aggregate consent payment (the “Aggregate Consent Payment”), in an amount and in the manner described in the Consent Solicitation Statement, subject to satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the Consent Solicitation. No portion of the Aggregate Consent Payment will be payable with respect to any Consents received after the Expiration Time.

None of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, the Solicitation Agent, the Information Agent or the Tabulation and Payment Agent is making any recommendation as to whether holders of the Notes should consent or refrain from consenting to the proposed amendments. Holders must make their own decision as to whether to consent. This press release is not a solicitation of consents with respect to the Notes and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The Consent Solicitation is being made solely by the Consent Solicitation Statement, dated February 4, 2019, which sets forth the complete terms of the Consent Solicitation.

For a complete statement of the terms and conditions of the Consent Solicitation and the proposed amendments to the Indenture, holders of the Notes should refer to the Consent Solicitation Statement. Questions concerning the terms of the Consent Solicitation should be directed to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., the Solicitation Agent, at (855) 287-1922. Requests for assistance or for additional copies of the Consent Solicitation Statement should be directed to D.F. King & Co, Inc., the Information and Tabulation Agent, at (800) 290-6426 or [email protected].
