NXP Announces Pricing of Senior Unsecured Notes Offering
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN ITALY
EINDHOVEN, The Netherlands, August 8, 2016 - NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) (together with its subsidiaries, “NXP”) announced today the pricing of the previously announced offering by its subsidiaries NXP B.V. and NXP Funding LLC of $1,000 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2022 (the “Notes”) pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes will bear interest at 3.875% per annum and will mature on September 1, 2022. Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2017.
The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior basis by certain of NXP’s wholly-owned subsidiaries located in the Netherlands and the United States (the “Notes Guarantors”) and will be structurally subordinated to the liabilities, including trade payables, of NXP’s subsidiaries that have not guaranteed the Notes. In addition, the Notes will be effectively subordinated to all secured debt of the issuers and the Notes Guarantors, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. The issuance of the Notes is expected to close on or around August 11, 2016, subject to customary closing conditions.
NXP intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, together with cash on hand, to redeem the remaining $960 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding senior secured notes due 2022 and to pay for certain costs and expenses related thereto.
The Notes, as guaranteed by the Notes Guarantors, have not been registered under the Securities Act, or under any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
This announcement is for informational purposes only. No money, securities or other consideration is being solicited, and, if sent in response to the information contained herein, will not be accepted. Neither this document nor the information contained herein constitutes an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. No offer or sale of the Notes, as guaranteed by the Notes Guarantors, shall be made in any jurisdiction where such an offer or sale would be unlawful.
This press release is not for distribution to any Italian person or any address in the Republic of Italy. In the Netherlands, an offer is made exclusively to legal entities which are qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive 2003/71/EC, as amended from time to time.
