CELESTICA INC. ANNOUNCES EXPIRATION OF EARLY TENDER DATE AND
WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS DEADLINE IN OFFER FOR ITS 7.875% NOTES

 

TORONTO, Canada — Celestica Inc. (“Celestica”) (NYSE, TSX: CLS), a global leader in the delivery of end-to-end product lifecycle solutions, today announced that the Early Tender Date (as defined below) in respect of its previously announced modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer (the “Offer”) for a portion of its outstanding 7.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the “Notes”) expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 11, 2009.

 

As of the Early Tender Date, Celestica received valid tenders from holders of $406.6 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at various bid prices within the acceptable bid price range of $960 to $1,010 per $1,000 principal amount. This represents 83.1% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes. Holders who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Date will be eligible to receive the Early Tender Payment of $20 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for Notes that are accepted for purchase by Celestica pursuant to the Offer, which amount is included in the bid price specified by such tendering holders.

 

Previously validly tendered Notes cannot be withdrawn after the Withdrawal Rights Deadline, which also occurred at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 11, 2009, and holders who validly tender Notes after the Withdrawal Rights Deadline do not have withdrawal rights. The Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 26, 2009, unless extended (the “Expiration Date”).

 

Pursuant to the offer to purchase dated February 26, 2009 (the “Offer to Purchase”), holders of Notes may still tender their Notes after the Early Tender Date until the Expiration Date and still be eligible to receive the Tender Offer Consideration as determined pursuant to the Offer (but not the Early Tender Payment) to the extent Celestica accepts such Notes for purchase in the Offer.

 

The aggregate amount of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn to date exceeds the Tender Cap ($150 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes); therefore, Celestica will accept for purchase Notes validly tendered in the Offer on a prorated basis as described in the Offer to Purchase. Celestica will determine the final proration factor as promptly as practicable after the Expiration Date.

 

The terms and conditions of the Offer are described in the Offer to Purchase and in the related Letter of Transmittal. Questions regarding the Offer may be directed to Banc of America Securities LLC, Global Debt Advisory Services, the Dealer Manager for the Offer, at 888-292-0070 (U.S. toll-free) and 704-388-9217 (collect).  Copies of the Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal may be obtained from the Information Agent for the Offer, Global Bondholder Services Corporation, at 866-389-1500 (U.S. toll-free) and 212-430-3774 (collect).

 

This press release is for informational purposes only. This announcement does not constitute an offer to purchase or a solicitation of any offer to sell the Notes or any other securities. The Offer is being made solely by the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal.

 

The Offer does not constitute an offer to purchase Notes in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful to make such offer under applicable securities or blue sky laws. In any jurisdiction in which the securities laws or blue sky laws require the Offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the

 



 

Offers will be deemed to be made on behalf of Celestica, as the case may be, by the Dealer Manager, or one or more registered brokers or dealers that are licensed under the laws of such jurisdiction.
