CHICAGO--()--Prime Security Services Borrower, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, “Protection 1”), a portfolio company of certain funds affiliated with Apollo Global Management, LLC (NYSE: APO) (together with its consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates, “Apollo”), announced today that The ADT Corporation (NYSE: ADT) (“ADT”) has received the requisite consents to amend certain terms of its 6.250% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Consent Notes”). The Consent Solicitation was conducted in connection with the previously announced merger agreement, pursuant to which ADT has agreed to be acquired by an affiliate of certain funds managed by Apollo and merged with Protection 1, with ADT surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Prime Security Services Borrower, LLC (the “Acquisition”).

The Consent Solicitation is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Consent Solicitation Statement, dated as of April 1, 2016, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Consent Solicitation Statement, dated as of April 5, 2016, and as extended by the press release, dated April 11, 2016, the press release, dated April 12, 2016, and the press release, dated April 13, 2016, which extended the “Consent Time” with respect to the Consent Notes to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 22, 2016.

The Supplemental Indenture will become operative only upon payment of the applicable consent payment in connection with the closing of the Acquisition.
