Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Exchange, each eligible noteholder exchanging Power Notes in the Exchange Offer will receive, in exchange for the Power Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, newly issued PSEG Notes having the same interest payment and maturity dates and interest rate as the Power Notes exchanged. Eligible noteholders who validly tender and do not validly withdraw their tendered Power Notes by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 7, 2020 (such time and date, as they may be extended, the “Early Tender Deadline”) will receive, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Exchange, PSEG Notes in the same principal amount as the Power Notes tendered therefor. Eligible noteholders who validly tender their Power Notes after the Early Tender Deadline, but on or prior to the Expiration Time, will receive $970 principal amount of the PSEG Notes per $1,000 principal amount of Power Notes validly tendered (the “Exchange Consideration”). Settlement of the Exchange Offer is expected to occur on or about December 23, 2020, unless PSEG extends the Expiration Time or terminates the Exchange Offer. Interest on each PSEG Note will accrue from (and including) October 15, 2020, the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the Power Note tendered in exchange for such PSEG Note, and, accordingly, no accrued interest will be paid on the settlement date in respect of Power Notes accepted for exchange, except as set forth in the Offer to Exchange with respect to cash paid in lieu of PSEG Notes not delivered.
The PSEG Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. If the principal amount of PSEG Notes validly tendered that would otherwise be required to be delivered in exchange for a tender of Power Notes would not equal $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, it will be rounded down to $2,000 or the nearest integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, and PSEG will pay cash equal to the remaining portion of the Exchange Consideration for such Power Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest with respect to that portion. No tender of Power Notes will be accepted, however, if it would result in the issuance of less than $2,000 principal amount of PSEG Notes.
PSEG’s obligation to accept and exchange the Power Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer is subject to customary conditions, as set forth in the Offer to Exchange. The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation are not conditioned upon the tender of any minimum aggregate principal amount of the Power Notes being validly tendered for exchange or the receipt of the requisite consents in the Consent Solicitation to adopt the proposed amendments.
In the Consent Solicitation, PSEG is soliciting the consents of the eligible noteholders to amend the Power Notes and the Subsidiary Indenture with respect to the Power Notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain of the other covenants and events of default. Consents of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Power Notes must be obtained for the amendments to the Power Notes and the Subsidiary Indenture with respect to the Power Notes to be effective. Eligible noteholders validly tendering their Power Notes will be deemed to have validly delivered consents to the proposed amendments with respect to such tendered Power Notes. Eligible noteholders will not be
