On March 24, 2005, SPX Corporation (SPX) issued a press release announcing the expiration of its cash tender offer for its Notes (as defined below) and receipt of consents to amend its Notes as described below. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
On March 24, 2005, amendments became effective to the indenture between SPX and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (f/k/a JPMorgan Chase Bank), as trustee, dated as of December 27, 2002 (the Indenture), as amended and supplemented as of that date, governing the 7 ½% Senior Notes Due 2013 and the 6 ¼% Senior Notes Due 2011 of SPX (together, the Notes). SPX conducted a solicitation of consents from the holders of the Notes to amend the Indenture in connection with its tender offer for the Notes.
At the close of business on March 24, 2005, which was the deadline for the receipt of the consents, SPX had received the requisite consents from holders of each series of Notes to amend the Indenture with respect to each series of Notes. On that date the supplemental indentures effecting the amendments to the Indenture with respect to each series of Notes were executed and became operative.
The amendments, among other things, with respect to the relevant series of Notes:
eliminated certain events of default with respect to such Notes, consisting of defaults which would result from (i) a payment default or cross-acceleration of certain other indebtedness of $50 million or more or (ii) the failure to pay certain final judgments in excess of $50 million; and
eliminated substantially all restrictive covenants with respect to each series of Notes.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the supplemental indentures, which are attached as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
