Amkor Technology Announces Pricing of $225 Million of Its 6.375% Senior Notes Due 2022
Amkor Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMKR) today announced that it has priced
and increased the size of its previously announced offering to $225
million aggregate principal amount of its 6.375% Senior Notes due 2022
(the “Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and
outside the United States to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S
under the Securities Act. The offering is expected to close on May 20,
2013, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The Notes will be issued at a premium and priced at 103% to yield 5.951%
and will be senior unsecured obligations of the company. Interest will
be payable semi-annually at a rate of 6.375% per annum on April 1 and
October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 2013. The Notes will be
issued as additional notes under an indenture dated as of September 21,
2012 pursuant to which Amkor previously issued $300.0 million aggregate
principal amount of 6.375% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Existing Notes”).
The Notes will rank equally with and form a part of a single class of
securities with the Existing Notes.
We expect to use the net proceeds of the Notes offering for general
corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, capital
additions, acquisitions and other investments.
This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation
of an offer to buy any of the Notes, nor shall there be any offer,
solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which such an
offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States
absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration
requirements.
