AECOM announces cash tender offer for 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 and 5.125% Senior Notes due 2027

AECOM (NYSE:ACM), the world’s premier infrastructure firm, today announced that it has commenced a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase for cash up to $639 million (the “Offer Amount”) in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 5.875% Senior Notes due 2024 and 5.125% Senior Notes due 2027 (collectively, the “Notes”).

AECOM is making the Offer at par to satisfy obligations under the indentures governing the Notes relating to the use of certain cash proceeds from AECOM’s previously announced disposition of its Management Services business, which was completed on January 31, 2020.

Tendering holders will receive an amount in cash equal to $1,000 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Purchase Date (as defined below) (the “Offer Consideration”).

The Offer is currently scheduled to expire immediately after 11:59 P.M., New York City time, on July 16, 2020 (such time and date, as it may be extended, the “Expiration Date”).

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase to be distributed to holders of Notes (the “Offer to Purchase”), AECOM will accept for purchase Notes validly tendered under the Offer on or prior to the Expiration Date and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the withdrawal deadline, subject to proration to the extent the aggregate principal amount of the Notes tendered in the offer exceeds the Offer Amount. Payment of the Offer Consideration for the Notes so accepted for purchase is expected to be made on the third business day following the Expiration Date (the date of such payment, the “Purchase Date”).

The Offer is subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase. AECOM reserves the right, subject to applicable law and the terms of the indentures governing the Notes, to (i) waive any and all conditions to the Offer at any time, (ii) extend the Expiration Date or terminate the Offer at any time and (iii) otherwise modify, amend or waive any terms of the Offer in any respect at any time.

This press release does not constitute an offer to purchase any security. No offer will be made in any jurisdiction in which, or to or from any person to or from whom, it is unlawful to make such offer. The Offer will only be made pursuant to the terms of the Offer to Purchase. Holders are urged to read the Offer to Purchase carefully before making any decision with respect to the Offer. Holders of Notes must make their own decisions as to whether to tender any or all of their Notes.
