Archrock Announces Early Results and Initial Settlement Date for Tender Offer for its 6.875% Senior Notes due 2027

BY GlobeNewswire | CORPORATE | 08/26/24 07:00 AM EDT

HOUSTON, Aug. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Archrock, Inc. (AROC) (?Archrock?) today announced that it had received tenders for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $312.3 million of its outstanding 6.875% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2027 (the ?Notes?) in its previously announced cash tender offer (the ?offer?) to purchase up to $200 million aggregate principal amount (the ?Tender Cap?) of the $500 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Notes, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 23, 2024 (the ?Early Tender Deadline?), as well as the initial settlement date for the offer on August 26, 2024 (the ?Initial Settlement Date?).

The offer is being made pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Offer to Purchase dated August 12, 2024, copies of which may be obtained from D.F. King & Co., Inc., the tender agent and information agent for the offer, by calling (888) 628-9011 (toll free) or, for banks and brokers, (212) 269-5550 or by email at archrock@dfking.com.

The offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on September 10, 2024, unless extended or earlier terminated (such time and date as the same may be extended, the ?Expiration Time?). The withdrawal deadline for validly tendered Notes was 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 23, 2024.

Because the purchase of all validly tendered Notes would cause us to purchase a principal amount greater than the $200 million Tender Cap, the offer is oversubscribed and Archrock (AROC), if it accepts Notes in the offer, will accept for purchase tendered Notes on a prorated basis as described in the offer documents using a pro ration factor of approximately 64%. Payment for any Notes so accepted will be made promptly on the Initial Settlement Date, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the offer. Because the offer is oversubscribed as of the Early Tender Deadline, holders of Notes who validly tender Notes after the Early Tender Deadline will not have any of their Notes accepted for payment.

Archrock (AROC) has retained Wells Fargo Securities, LLC to serve as the Dealer Manager for the offer. Questions regarding the terms of the tender offer may be directed to Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, at (704) 410-4820 (collect) or (866) 309-6316 (U.S. toll-free).

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
