CVS Health Corporation(NYSE: CVS) announced today the applicable Reference Yields and Total Consideration (each as summarized in the tables below) to be paid in connection with the previously announced cash tender offers for (i) up to $3,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.000% Senior Notes due 2023 and 3.700% Senior Notes due 2023 and the 2.800% Senior Notes due 2023 issued by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Aetna Inc. in the priorities set forth in the Offer to Purchase and (ii) up to $3,000,000,000 aggregate principal amountdue 2025 and 3.875% Senior Notes due 2025 in the priorities set forth in the Offer to Purchase. Each group of Tender Offers that constitutes either the 2023 Notes Tender Offers or the 2025 Notes Tender Offers is referred to as the "Capped Tender Offers". The sum of the 2023 Notes Maximum Amount and the 2025 Notes Maximum Amount is $6,000,000,000 (the "Aggregate Maximum Amount"), which represents the aggregate principal amount of the Notes subject to the Tender Offers and excludes any Accrued Interest (as defined below) or Early Tender Payment (as defined below). The Tender Offers are being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated August 12, 2020 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Offer to Purchase"), which sets forth a detailed description of the Tender Offers. The Tender Offers are open to all registered holders (individually, a "Holder" and collectively, the "Holders") of the Notes.
The applicable Reference Yield for the Notes and the Total Consideration for the Notes are summarized in the tables below:
| The 2023 Notes Tender Offers(1) | |||||||||
| The 2025 Notes Tender Offers(3) | |||||||||
| Because the aggregate principal amount of 2023 Notes validly tendered would exceed the 2023 Notes Maximum Amount, none of the validly tendered 2.800% Senior Notes due 2023 are expected to be accepted for purchase. | |||||||||
| Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase. | |||||||||
| Because the aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes validly tendered would exceed the 2025 Notes Maximum Amount, none of the validly tendered 3.875% Senior Notes due 2025 are expected to be accepted for purchase. | |||||||||
The Total Consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes was determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the applicable fixed spread set forth in the tables above plus the yield to maturity or first par call date, as the case may be, of the applicable U.S. Treasury reference securities (the "UST Reference Security") set forth in the tables above on the bid-side price of such UST Reference Security as of 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on August 26, 2020.
The Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 25, 2020 (the "Early Tender Date") will be eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration, which includes the Early Tender Payment of $30 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.
CVS Health expects to accept for purchase and make payment for Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date on August 27, 2020 (the "Early Settlement Date").
Holders of all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase are eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration, which includes the applicable Early Tender Payment of $30 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date (the "Early Tender Payment"). In addition to the applicable Total Consideration, Holders of Notes accepted for purchase will receive accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date ("Accrued Interest").
Because the aggregate principal amount of 2023 Notes validly tendered would exceed the 2023 Notes Maximum Amount, CVS Health expects that it will accept validly tendered 3.700% Senior Notes due 2023 on a prorated basis in accordance with the Offer to Purchase and none of the validly tendered 2.800% Senior Notes due 2023. Because the aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes validly tendered would exceed the 2025 Notes Maximum Amount, CVS Health expects that it will accept validly tendered 4.100% Senior Notes due 2025 on a prorated basis in accordance with the Offer to Purchase and none of the 3.875% Senior Notes due 2025.
Because CVS Health expects to accept for purchase the Maximum Aggregate Amount of Notes, no additional Notes will be purchased pursuant to the Tender Offers after the Early Settlement Date. As described in the Offer to Purchase, Notes tendered and not accepted for purchase will be promptly returned to the tendering Holder's account.
CVS Health expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law, to terminate the Tender Offers at any time prior to the Expiration Date. The Tender Offers are not conditioned on any minimum principal amount of Notes being tendered but the Tender Offers are subject to certain conditions as described in the Offer to Purchase. Each Tender Offer is a separate offer. The Capped Tender Offers are not conditioned on each other. Each Tender Offer may be individually amended, extended or terminated by CVS Health.
