Kohl’s Corporation Announces Early Tender Results for Cash Tender Offer
Menomonee Falls, Wis., April 16, 2018 — Kohl’s Corporation (NYSE: KSS) announced today the early tender results as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, April 13, 2018 (the “Early Tender Deadline”) for the previously announced cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for up to $300,000,000 combined aggregate principal amount (the “Maximum Amount”) of its 7.250% Debentures due 2029, 6.875% Notes due 2037, 6.000% Debentures due 2033, 4.000% Notes due 2021, 4.750% Notes due 2023 and 3.250% Notes due 2023 (collectively, the “Notes”).
The principal amount of each series of Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Tender Offer as of the Early Tender Deadline is set forth in the table below.
The settlement for the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn on or before the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase by Kohl’s is expected to take place on April 17, 2018 (the “Initial Settlement Date”). Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase will receive the consideration to be calculated at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, today by Morgan Stanley & Co., LLC, the Lead Dealer Manager, and to be announced by separate release later today. The principal amount of each series of Notes that is purchased on the Initial Settlement Date will be determined in accordance with the acceptance priority levels and the proration procedures described in the Offer to Purchase, dated April 2, 2018 (the “Offer to Purchase”).
The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on April 27, 2018, unless extended (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Time”). However, as Kohl’s intends, subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, to accept for purchase the Maximum Amount of Notes on the Initial Settlement Date, further tenders of Notes prior to the Expiration Time will only be accepted for purchase if Kohl’s amends the Tender Offer to increase the Maximum Amount above the principal amount of Notes tendered as of the Early Tender Deadline. Subject to applicable law, the Tender Offer may be amended, extended, terminated or withdrawn with respect to one or more series of Notes.
The obligation of Kohl’s to accept for purchase, and to pay for, any Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase under the heading “Terms of the Tender Offer—Conditions of the Tender Offer.”
