Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. [NYSE: SPR] (the “Company”) today announced the early tender results of its wholly owned subsidiary, Spirit AeroSystems, Inc.’s (“Spirit”), (i) offer to purchase for cash (the “Tender Offer”) any and all of Spirit’s outstanding 5.500% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2025 (CUSIP No. 85205T AM2) (the “2025 First Lien Notes”) and (ii) Consent Solicitation (as defined below), in each case upon the terms and conditions described in Spirit’s Offer to Purchase and Solicitation of Consents, dated November 7, 2022 (the “Offer to Purchase and Solicitation of Consents”).

The Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation are subject to, and conditioned upon, the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Offer to Purchase and Solicitation of Consents.

According to the information received from Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the Tender Agent and Information Agent for the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 21, 2022 (such date and time, the “Early Tender Deadline”), Spirit had received, and informed Global Bondholder Services Corporation it had accepted for purchase, valid tenders from holders of the 2025 First Lien Notes as outlined in the table below.

(1) Reflects total consideration per $1,000 principal amount of notes. Does not include accrued but unpaid interest, which will also be payable as provided in the Offer to Purchase and Solicitation of Consents.

(2) Includes the Early Tender Premium (as defined below).

The early settlement date for Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase will be November 23, 2022 (the “Early Settlement Date”), subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation described in the Offer to Purchase and Solicitation of Consents.

Holders of 2025 First Lien Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and have been accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will receive the Total Consideration as set forth in the table above, which includes the early tender premium of $30 per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 First Lien Notes (the “Early Tender Premium”), together with accrued but unpaid interest on such 2025 First Lien Notes from the last interest payment date with respect to such 2025 First Lien Notes to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date. The Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 6, 2022, unless extended or terminated by Spirit.

As part of the Tender Offer, Spirit is also soliciting consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from the holders of the 2025 First Lien Notes for certain proposed amendments described in the Offer to Purchase and Solicitation of Consents that would, among other things, (i) eliminate certain restrictive covenants and certain events of default (the “Majority Amendments”) with a majority vote and (ii) terminate the security interest and release the collateral under the indenture governing the 2025 First Lien Notes (the “Collateral Release Amendments”) with a two-thirds super-majority vote. Adoption of the Majority Amendments and the Collateral Release Amendments requires the requisite consents as described in the Offer to Purchase and Solicitation of Consents (the “Requisite Consents”). As of the Early Tender Deadline, Spirit had received the Requisite Consents required to approve (i) the Majority Amendments and (ii) the Collateral Release Amendments. Accordingly, on November 23, 2022, Spirit intends to execute a supplemental indenture to the indenture governing the 2025 First Lien Notes with respect to (i) the Majority Amendments and (ii) the Collateral Release Amendments.
