DENVER, April 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Centennial Resource Development, Inc. (“Centennial” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CDEV) today announced that its operating subsidiary, Centennial Resource Production, LLC (“CRP”), has commenced offers to all Eligible Holders (as defined below) to exchange (the “Exchange Offers”) any and all of their outstanding 5.375% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Old 2026 Notes”) and outstanding 6.875% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Old 2027 Notes” and, together with the Old 2026 Notes, the “Old Notes”) for up to $250 million aggregate principal amount of newly issued 8.00% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “Second Lien Notes”) and up to $200 million aggregate principal amount of newly issued 8.00% Third Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the “Third Lien Notes,” and together with the Second Lien Notes, the “New Notes”), in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the confidential offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement, dated April 22, 2020 (the “Offering Memorandum”).
The following table sets forth the consideration to be offered to Eligible Holders of the Old Notes in the Exchange Offers:(1) Total principal amount of New Notes for each $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes tendered and accepted for exchange.Eligible Holders who tender their Old Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on May 5, 2020, unless extended (such time and date as it may be extended, the “Early Tender Date”), will be eligible to receive $500 principal amount of New Notes (the “Early Exchange Consideration”) for each $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes tendered and accepted for exchange. Eligible Holders tendering Old Notes after the Early Tender Date and at or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on May 19, 2020, unless extended (such time and date as it may be extended, the “Expiration Date”), will be eligible to receive $450 principal amount of New Notes (the “Late Exchange Consideration”) for each $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes tendered for exchange.All Second Lien Notes will be issued before any Third Lien Notes are issued to Eligible Holders. In the event that the aggregate amount of Second Lien Notes to be issued in respect of Old Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) would exceed $250 million, the amount of Second Lien Notes issued to each tendering Eligible Holder will be equal to (a) the amount of New Notes entitled to be received by such Eligible Holder, based on the Early Exchange Consideration or Late Exchange Consideration, as applicable, in respect of Old Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) by such Eligible Holder multiplied by (b) the quotient of (1) $250 million divided by (2) the aggregate principal amount of New Notes to be issued in respect of tendered Old Notes that are accepted by CRP. The portion of Old Notes tendered by each tendering Eligible Holder and accepted by CRP that are not exchanged into Second Lien Notes as a result of such proration will be exchanged for Third Lien Notes.In addition to the consideration described above, CRP will pay in cash accrued and unpaid interest on the Old Notes accepted in the Exchange Offers from the applicable latest interest payment date to, but not including, the settlement date for the Exchange Offers, which will occur promptly after the Expiration Date and is expected to occur on May 22, 2020. Interest on the New Notes will accrue from the date of issuance of the New Notes.In conjunction with the Exchange Offers, CRP is soliciting consents (the “Consent Solicitations”) from holders of each series of Old Notes (“Consents”) to certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Old 2026 Notes (the “Old 2026 Notes Indenture”) and to the indenture governing the Old 2027 Notes (the “Old 2027 Notes Indenture” and, together with the Old 2026 Notes Indenture, the “Old Notes Indentures”) to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain of the default provisions contained therein (the “Proposed Amendments”). The Exchange Offers are not conditioned upon receiving Requisite Consents (as defined below) from holders of the Old Notes. Following consummation of the Exchange Offers and the Consent Solicitations, and upon effectiveness of the Proposed Amendments, any holders of the Old Notes that do not participate in the Exchange Offers would rank effectively junior to the New Notes.CRP must receive Consents from holders representing a majority of the outstanding principal amount of each series of Old Notes to adopt the Proposed Amendments to the applicable Old Notes Indenture (the “Requisite Consents”). Eligible Holders of Old Notes may not tender Old Notes without delivering the related Consents, and Eligible Holders of Old Notes may not deliver Consents without tendering the related Old Notes. The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations may be terminated, withdrawn, amended or extended at any time and for any reason. Neither of the Exchange Offers is conditioned upon any minimum amount of Old Notes tendered or the receipt of the Requisite Consents to the Proposed Amendments.Tenders of Old Notes in the Exchange Offers may be validly withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 5, 2020, unless extended (as it may be extended, the “Withdrawal Deadline”). Old Notes (including Old Notes tendered after the Withdrawal Deadline) may not be withdrawn from the Exchange Offers and the related Consents may not be revoked from the Consent Solicitations after the Withdrawal Deadline, subject to applicable law.The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations will only be made, and the New Notes are only being offered and issued, to holders of Old Notes who are (a) reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or (b) not “U.S. persons” as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act and are in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act (such holders, the “Eligible Holders”). Only Eligible Holders who have completed and returned the eligibility letter are authorized to receive or review the Offering Memorandum or to participate in the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations. Eligible Holders of the Old Notes who desire to obtain and complete an eligibility form should contact the information agent and exchange agent, Global Bondholder Services Corporation, at (866) 807-2200 (toll-free) or (212) 430-3774 (for banks and brokers) or email contact@gbsc-usa.com or access the website at https://gbsc-usa.com/eligibility/centennial.Eligible Holders of the Old Notes are urged to carefully read the Offering Memorandum before making any decision with respect to the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations. None of the Company, CRP, the dealer managers, the trustee with respect to the Old Notes and the New Notes, the information and exchange agent or any affiliate of any of them makes any recommendation as to whether Eligible Holders of the Old Notes should exchange their Old Notes for New Notes in the Exchange Offers, and no one has been authorized by any of them to make such a recommendation. Eligible Holders must make their own decision as to whether to tender Old Notes and, if so, the principal amount of Old Notes to tender.The New Notes and the Exchange Offers have not been and will not be registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, or any state or foreign securities laws.
