BERWYN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--National Money Mart Company (“NMM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of DFC Global Corp. (NASDAQ:DLLR), today announced the commencement of a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of its outstanding 10.375% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “Senior Notes”). There is currently $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes outstanding. The Tender Offer will expire on December 13, 2013 at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, unless extended (as such time and date may be extended, the “Expiration Time”) or terminated earlier by NMM in its sole discretion. In connection with the Tender Offer, NMM is also soliciting consents (“Consents”) from holders of the Senior Notes to certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Senior Notes.
The Tender Offer is being made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase and a related Letter of Transmittal, each dated November 15, 2013, which set forth a more detailed description of the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer.
Holders who validly tender their Notes before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 2, 2013 unless extended (such date and time, as it may be extended, the “Early Tender Time”), will be eligible to receive $1,058.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of Senior Notes tendered and not validly withdrawn (which includes an “Early Tender Premium” of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Senior Notes). Holders who validly tender their Senior Notes after the Early Tender Time and prior to the Expiration Time, will be eligible to receive $1,028.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of Senior Notes tendered and not validly withdrawn and will not receive the Early Tender Premium.

Holders who validly tender their Senior Notes by the Early Tender Time will be eligible to receive payment on the initial settlement date, which is currently expected to be on or about December 3, 2013, following the Early Tender Time and satisfaction and waiver of the Tender Offer conditions. Holders who validly tender their Senior Notes after the Early Tender Time and at or prior to the Expiration Time that are accepted for purchase will be eligible to receive payment on the final settlement date following the Expiration Time, which is expected to be the business day following the Expiration Time. NMM will pay accrued and unpaid interest on Senior Notes that are accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer up to, but excluding, the applicable settlement date.
Validly tendered Senior Notes may be validly withdrawn and the related Consents may be validly revoked at any time at or prior to the withdrawal deadline, which is 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 2, 2013, unless extended or earlier terminated. Any extension, delay, termination or amendment of the Tender Offer will be followed as promptly as practicable by a public announcement thereof.
Concurrently with the Tender Offer, the Company is soliciting from holders Consents to the proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Senior Notes to eliminate most of the covenants and certain default provisions applicable to the Senior Notes. Adoption of the proposed amendments requires the consent of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes.
The Tender Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions, including a financing condition. The Tender Offer is not conditioned on any minimum amount of any Senior Notes being tendered or upon requisite consents being received in order to amend the indenture governing the Senior Notes. Furthermore, subject to applicable law, NMM may, in its sole discretion, waive conditions applicable to the Tender Offer or extend, terminate or otherwise amend the Tender Offer. Holders may not tender their Senior Notes without delivering Consents or deliver Consents without tendering their Senior Notes.
The complete terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal and the other related materials that NMM will distribute to holders of Senior Notes. Holders of Senior Notes should read the Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal and the other related materials because they contain important information.
