Domino's, Inc. Sets Purchase Price in Tender Offer for 8-1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2011
The total purchase price to be paid for each validly tendered Note was determined using the yield of the 3.875% U.S. Treasury Note due July 31, 2007 (the reference U.S. Treasury Note), plus a fixed spread of 50 basis points. The yield on the reference U.S. Treasury Note, as calculated by J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on Friday, February 23, 2007, was 5.091%. Accordingly, the tender offer yield and the total purchase price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes are 5.591% and $1,048.50, respectively. The total purchase price is payable to holders of Notes in respect of Notes tendered by the Consent Payment Deadline, namely 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 23, 2007. Holders of Notes tendered after the Consent Payment Deadline and before the tender expiration date receive the tender offer consideration, namely the total purchase price less the consent payment of $20.00, or $1,028.50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. Payment of the total purchase price or tender offer consideration, as applicable, for validly tendered Notes plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the date of payment, is expected to be made on Friday, March 9, 2007.
