On August 30, 2019, Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited (“Aspen”) issued a press release announcing that it intends to redeem the entire outstanding $125,000,000 principal amount of 6.00% Senior Notes due 2020 (the "Notes") and that the Board of Directors has declared a dividend on Aspen's newly issued 5.625% Perpetual Non-Cumulative Preference Shares (the "2019 Preference Shares").
Redemption of 6.00% Senior Notes Due 2020
Redemption of the Notes is expected to take place on September 30, 2019 (the “Redemption Date”). The redemption will be conducted pursuant to the optional redemption terms of the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 10, 2010 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), to the Indenture entered into with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee, dated as of August 16, 2004 (the “Original Indenture” and, together with the Second Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”) governing the Notes. The redemption price will be equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (other than accrued interest) on the Notes being redeemed, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 45 basis points, plus, in either case, any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. Unless otherwise specified herein, capitalized terms have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Indenture.
Declaration of Dividend on Aspen's 2019 Preference Shares
The 2019 Preference Shares are represented by depositary shares, each representing a 1/1000th interest in a 2019 Preference Share. The dividend of $191.40 per 2019 Preference Share, equivalent to $0.1914 per Depositary Share, is payable on October 1, 2019 to the holders of record as of the close of business on September 15, 2019.
The press release, furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 6-K, is incorporated by reference as part of this Form 6-K.
