Peru has determined that it received offers to tender Eligible Bonds for cash in excess of the Aggregate Tender Purchase Price and that, while Peru will accept approximately 90.1% of all Eligible Bonds tendered in the Invitations, proration will occur in the Cash Tender Offer for each series of Eligible Bonds except the 2012 Bonds. Accordingly, for each series of Eligible Bonds other than the 2012 Bonds tendered for cash by a holder, Peru will accept from that holder only the percentage noted under “Proration Factor” in the table above, with Small Holders receiving priority. Appropriate adjustments will be made so that purchases will be made in integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 (or, in the case of the 2014 Bonds, €1,000). A holder’s Eligible Bonds not accepted for purchase will not be subject to acceptance and settlement under the Invitations unless (i) the aggregate principal amount of that holder’s Eligible Bonds not accepted for purchase meets the Threshold Exchange Amount and (ii) that holder elected in the electronic submission of its offer to automatically retender its unaccepted Eligible Bonds for 2033 Bonds.
The Invitations expired yesterday at 5:00 P.M. (New York City Time). Settlement of the Invitations is expected to occur on April 29, 2010. All amounts set forth herein are to be considered preliminary, approximate values, subject to change. Unless otherwise noted, values in U.S. dollars for the 2014 Bonds were calculated using the EUR/USD Exchange Rate, which was calculated as 1.3560. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the prospectus supplement related to the Invitations dated April 9, 2010.
