AUSTIN, Texas - Whole Foods Market, Inc. (WFM) (the “Company”) announced the expiration and results of its offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) its outstanding 5.200% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Original Notes”) that were issued on December 3, 2015 in a private offering for new 5.200% senior notes due 2025 (the “New Notes”) that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
The Exchange Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 25, 2016. U.S. Bank National Association, the exchange agent for the Exchange Offer, has advised that an aggregate principal amount of approximately $990,496,000 of the Original Notes were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offer. This represents approximately 99.05% of the aggregate principal amount of the Original Notes outstanding. All of the Original Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn have been accepted for exchange pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Offer.
In connection with the sale of the Original Notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement in which it undertook to offer to exchange the Original Notes for the New Notes. Pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), holders were eligible to exchange Original Notes for New Notes in an equal principal amount. The terms of the New Notes are identical in all material respects to the terms of the Original Notes and represent the same debt as the Original Notes except that the New Notes are registered under the Securities Act and do not contain restrictions on transfer or related provisions regarding additional interest, bear a different CUSIP number from the Original Notes and do not entitle their holders to registration rights. The Company expects that settlement of the exchange offer will occur on or about October 28, 2016.
This announcement is neither an offer to buy nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any of the Company’s securities. The Exchange Offer was made only pursuant to the Exchange Offer documents, which have been filed with the SEC and include the prospectus and letter of transmittal that were distributed to holders of Original Notes.
