Nebraska Book Company Completes Notes Exchange Offer
Lincoln, Neb., March 17, 2010 — Nebraska Book Company, Inc. announced today that it has successfully completed its offer to exchange up to $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 10% Senior Secured Notes Due 2011 (the “New Notes”), which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), for its outstanding unregistered 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2011 (the “Old Notes”), which were issued in October 2009 in a private placement and sold in accordance with Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Act.
The exchange offer expired at 5 p.m., New York City time, on March 15, 2010. A total of $200.0 million, or 100%, of the Old Notes were validly tendered and accepted for exchange for the New Notes by Nebraska Book Company.
The form and terms of the New Notes are substantially the same as the form and terms of the Old Notes issued in October 2009. The primary difference is that the New Notes have been registered under the Act and, therefore, the New Notes will be freely tradable and will not contain terms relating to registration rights. The New Notes evidence the same debt as the Old Notes and are issued under and entitled to the benefits of the indenture that governs the Old Notes.
This release is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase the New Notes or an offer to purchase or solicitation of an offer to sell the Old Notes.
