Company Announcements

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 29, 2024-- NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NRG) announced today the pricing terms of the previously announced offer to purchase for cash (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of the outstanding 6.75% senior secured notes due 2027 (the “Notes”) issued by APX Group, Inc. (“APX”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of NRG. The Tender Offer is being made pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase and consent solicitation statement, dated October 15, 2024 (the “Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement”).

The total consideration to be paid for the Notes accepted for purchase was determined by reference to (i) the fixed spread for the Notes set forth in the table below and (ii) the bid side yield to maturity (the “Reference Yield”) of the U.S.Treasury reference security set forth in the table below (the “Total Consideration”). The Reference Yield for the Notes was calculated in accordance with standard market practice at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on October 29, 2024. The Total Consideration for the Notes includes an early tender payment (the “Early Tender Payment”) of $50.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 28, 2024 (the “Early Tender Deadline”) and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer.

The following table sets forth the pricing information for the Tender Offer:

In addition, APX will pay accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase from the most recent interest payment date on the Notes to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date or the Final Settlement Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement), as applicable.

Holders of Notes who have not yet tendered their Notes have until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 13, 2024 (such date and time, as it may be extended, the “Expiration Time”), to tender their Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer. Holders of Notes who validly tender their Notes following the Early Tender Deadline, but on or prior to the Expiration Time, will be eligible to receive the Tender Offer Consideration, which is an amount equal to the Total Consideration less the Early Tender Payment.
