HOUSTON - Wednesday, April 6th 2016 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Schlumberger Holdings Corporation (“SHC” or the “Company”) today announced the early tender results in its previously announced cash tender offer for up to an aggregate principal amount of $1,200,000,000 of the outstanding senior notes of Cameron International Corporation specified in the table below (collectively, the “Notes”). The terms and conditions of the tender offer are described in the Offer to Purchase, dated March 22, 2016 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Letter of Transmittal. SHC also announced today that it has increased the Maximum Tender Amount for the Notes in the tender offer from $1,200,000,000 to $1,243,157,000, and this announcement amends the Offer to Purchase and the related tender offer materials to change the Maximum Tender Amount to $1,243,157,000. All other terms and conditions of the tender offer described in the Offer to Purchase remain unchanged.
As of the previously announced early tender deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 4, 2016 (the “Early Tender Date”), $1,243,157,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn.

For Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase, the applicable total consideration per $1,000 principal amount of each series of Notes (for each series, the “Total Consideration”) will be a price determined as described in the Offer to Purchase intended to result in a yield to maturity (calculated in accordance with standard market practice) equal to the sum of (i) the yield to maturity for the applicable United States Treasury (“UST”) Reference Security specified in the table above, calculated based on the bid-side price of such UST Reference Security as of 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on Tuesday, April 5, 2016 (the first business day following the Early Tender Date), plus (ii) the applicable Fixed Spread specified in the table above.
Withdrawal rights for the tender offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 4, 2016. Holders who tendered Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Date will be eligible to receive the Total Consideration (as set forth above) on April 7, 2016 (the “Early Settlement Date”). In addition, holders of Notes accepted for purchase will be paid accrued interest up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date. The tender offer is fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Date. As a result, it is expected that all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or before the Early Tender Date will be purchased in accordance with the terms of the tender offer and that no Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date will be purchased in the tender offer.
The consummation of the tender offer is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase.
