Item 8.01 - Other Events.
On October 30, 2007, MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company (the “Company”) announced that it had extended its offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange up to $1 billion in aggregate principal amount of its new registered 6.50% Senior Bonds due September 15, 2037, for up to $1 billion in aggregate principal amount of its currently outstanding 6.50% Senior Bonds due September 15, 2037, (“Original Bonds”) to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 1, 2007.
The extension of the Exchange Offer has been made to allow holders of outstanding Original Bonds who have not yet tendered their Original Bonds for exchange to do so. As of the close of business on October 29, 2007, approximately $930 million in aggregate principal amount of the Original Bonds had been validly tendered for exchange and not withdrawn.
The Exchange Offer was originally scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 25, 2007. On October 26, 2007, the Company announced that it had extended the Exchange Offer to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 29, 2007. Other than the extensions described herein, all of the terms of the Exchange Offer remain unchanged.
