As of the Expiration Time, $1,166.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes, representing approximately 66.7% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding, were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. Univision had previously announced that, as of Tuesday, November 23, 2010, $1,166.4 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes, representing approximately 66.7% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding, were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn (the "Early Tendered Notes"), and Univision accepted and settled $306.8 million aggregate principal amount of the Early Tendered Notes on November 24, 2010 (the "Early Settlement Date").
Univision has accepted for purchase, in base denominations of $1.00 and in integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof, the remaining validly tendered Notes not purchased on the Early Settlement Date and Notes validly tendered after the Early Settlement Date, but prior to the Expiration Time, up to the tender cap of $460.0 million in aggregate principal amount and subject to certain proration procedures as described in the Offer to Purchase dated November 8, 2010. Holders who validly tendered their Notes prior to the Early Settlement Date will receive $1,070 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase and holders who validly tendered their Notes thereafter will receive $1,040 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered and accepted for purchase on December 8, 2010 (the "Final Settlement Date"). In addition to the consideration described above, holders of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase will receive accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes from the last payment date for the Notes up to, but not including, the Final Settlement Date. The total aggregate principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement Date and the Final Settlement Date represents approximately 39.4% of all validly tendered and not validly withdrawn Notes.
Pursuant to the terms of the tender offer, Notes not tendered in the tender offer, or Notes not accepted for purchase, will remain outstanding, and the terms and conditions governing the Notes, including the covenants and other provisions contained in the indenture governing the Notes, will remain unchanged.
