NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Constellation Merger Sub Inc. (the “Offeror”), an affiliate of certain investment funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, LLC (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Apollo”) (NYSE:APO), announced today the consideration to be paid in the previously announced cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of ClubCorp Club Operations, Inc.’s (“ClubCorp Operations”) outstanding 8.25% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”) and related consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”).

The Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation are being made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated July 25, 2017 and a related Letter of Transmittal dated July 25, 2017 (together, the “Tender Offer Materials”).

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 9, 2017 (the “Early Tender Date”), as reported by Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the tender and information agent for the Tender Offer, $346,464,000 in aggregate principal amount, or approximately 98.99%, of the outstanding $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. The applicable Reference Yield, Tender Consideration and Total Consideration (each as defined below) for the principal amount of such Notes accepted for purchase are detailed in the table below.

In addition to (i) in the case of Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase, the total consideration specified in the table above (the “Total Consideration”) and (ii) in the case of Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase, the tender consideration specified in the table above (the “Tender Consideration”), holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date for the Notes up to, but not including, the settlement date for Notes accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer.

The Total Consideration and the Tender Consideration were calculated in the manner described in Schedule A to the Tender Offer Materials by reference to the fixed spread (the “Fixed Spread”) specified in the table above plus the yield to maturity (the “Reference Yield”) based on the bid-side price of the Reference U.S. Treasury Security specified in the table above at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on September 13, 2017. The Total Consideration includes the early participation premium of $30.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes.

The Tender Offer will expire at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on September 15, 2017, unless further extended or earlier terminated.

The withdrawal deadline for the Tender Offer was 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 7, 2017 (the “Withdrawal Deadline”) and has not been extended. Accordingly, previously tendered Notes and Notes tendered after the Withdrawal Deadline may not be withdrawn, subject to applicable law.

The Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation are being conducted in connection with the previously announced merger agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, Constellation Club Parent, Inc., the parent of the Offeror, has agreed to acquire ClubCorp Holdings, Inc., the parent of ClubCorp Operations (the “Acquisition”). The Offeror’s obligation to accept and pay for the Notes is conditioned upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent closing of the Acquisition.

LLC are acting as co-dealer managers and co-solicitation agents (together with the Dealer Manager, the “Dealer Managers”) for the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation.
