Energy Future Intermediate Holding Company LLC and EFIH Finance Inc. Announce Amendment to Certain Terms of Second Lien Notes Settlement

DALLAS--()--Energy Future Intermediate Holding Company LLC (“EFIH”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Energy Future Holdings Corp. (“EFH Corp.”), and EFIH Finance Inc. (“EFIH Finance” and together with EFIH, the “Issuer”) today announced the amendment of certain terms of its previously announced offer to purchase EFIH Second Lien Notes (as defined below) for cash as a voluntary settlement with respect to the Issuer’s obligations under the EFIH Second Lien Notes (such offer and settlement, the “EFIH Second Lien Settlement”). The EFIH Second Lien Settlement is open to all holders of the Issuer’s 11% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2021 (the “EFIH 11% Second Lien Notes”) and 11.750% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2022 (the “EFIH 11.750% Second Lien Notes” and together with the EFIH 11% Second Lien Notes, the “EFIH Second Lien Notes”).

The terms of the EFIH Second Lien Settlement have been amended to (1) provide that each of the Tender Consideration (as defined below) and the Total Consideration (as defined below) will no longer be decreased $0.14 per day for each day the Settlement Date occurs (as defined below) after the assumed Settlement Date of July 9, 2014, (2) delete and amend certain conditions to the consummation of the EFIH Second Lien Settlement as described in more detail below and (3) make certain disclosures described below regarding the right of the Issuer to determine whether or not any of the conditions to the consummation of the EFIH Second Lien Settlement were satisfied and to terminate or extend the EFIH Second Lien Settlement. Other than the amended terms described in this press release, the terms of the EFIH Second Lien Settlement are unchanged.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer to purchase with respect to the EFIH Second Lien Settlement, each holder of EFIH Second Lien Notes that validly tenders its EFIH Second Lien Notes on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 11, 2014 (the “Early Participation Date”), which may be further extended by the Issuer at its sole discretion, will be eligible to receive on the closing date of the offer (the “Settlement Date”) as payment in full of any claims arising out of such holder’s interest in the EFIH Second Lien Notes an amount, paid in cash, equal to (i) $1,119.30 for each $1,000 principal amount of EFIH 11% Second Lien Notes and (ii) $1,162.30 for each $1,000 principal amount of EFIH 11.750% Second Lien Notes tendered (the “Total Consideration” as set forth in the table below). The Total Consideration includes an early participation payment (the “Early Participation Consideration” as set forth in the table below) of $50.00 per $1,000 principal amount of EFIH Second Lien Notes validly tendered on or prior to the Early Participation Date. Each holder that validly tenders its EFIH Second Lien Notes after the Early Participation Date and on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 3, 2014 (the “Expiration Date”) will be eligible to receive on the Settlement Date an amount, paid in cash, equal to the Total Consideration less the Early Participation Consideration (the “Tender Consideration” as set forth in the table below).

(1) Does not include accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the Settlement Date, which will be paid on all of the EFIH Second Lien Notes accepted for purchase in the offer.

As previously disclosed, the consummation of the EFIH Second Lien Settlement is subject to several conditions. The terms of the EFIH Second Lien Settlement have been amended to remove the conditions relating to the consummation of and receipt of proceeds from the issuance of approximately $1.9 billion of 8% Convertible Second Lien Subordinated Secured DIP Financing Notes due 2016 (the “EFIH Second Lien DIP Notes Financing”). The consummation of the EFIH Second Lien Settlement continues to be subject to, among others, the bankruptcy court’s approval of both (1) the incurrence of indebtedness and granting of second-priority priming liens relating to the EFIH Second Lien DIP Notes Financing and (2) the EFIH Second Lien Settlement. The terms of the EFIH Second Lien Settlement have also been amended to disclose that the Issuer has the right to determine whether or not any of the conditions to the consummation of the EFIH Second Lien Settlement were satisfied and to terminate or extend the EFIH Second Lien Settlement if any condition to such consummation was not satisfied or otherwise will not be satisfied on or prior to the Expiration Date or, with respect to conditions relating to obtaining regulatory approval (such as bankruptcy court approval), on or prior to the Settlement Date.

The Issuer has provided to the holders of the EFIH Second Lien Notes a supplement to the original offer to purchase amending the terms of the EFIH Second Lien Settlement as described in this press release.
