PRESS RELEASE
Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. (BRP)
confirms expiration of consent solicitation and
sets tender offer purchase price
Valcourt (Québec) Canada, June 2, 2006
Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. ("BRP" or the "Company") announced today that the consent solicitation commenced in connection with the cash tender offer to purchase any and all of the U.S. $200 million outstanding principal amount of its 8 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (CUSIP No. 09776LAC0) (the "Notes") expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 2, 2006 (the "Consent Expiration Date"). In addition, the last day that holders of the Notes could have withdrawn tendered Notes and revoked delivered consents was as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Consent Expiration Date.As of the Consent Expiration Date, BRP had received the consent of holders of U.S. $200 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes, representing 100% of the Notes outstanding. BRP intends to promptly discharge the indenture after the settlement date.
BRP also announced today the offer consideration and the total consideration to be paid for its outstanding Notes that are validly tendered and accepted for purchase in the tender offer as described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation dated May 19, 2006. The total consideration to be paid for validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) Notes was determined using the yield of the 3 3/8% U.S. Treasury Note due December 15, 2008 (the "Reference Security") plus a fixed spread of 50 basis points. The yield on the Reference Security, as calculated by Merrill Lynch & Co., at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on Friday, June 2, 2006, was 4.904%. Accordingly, the tender offer yield and total consideration, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, per $1,000 principal amount of Notes are 5.404% and $1,104.85 respectively. The offer consideration, which is payable to holders of Notes in respect of Notes tendered after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 2, 2006, the Consent Expiration Date, is equal to the total consideration, less the consent payment of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. June 21, 2006 was assumed as the settlement date for purposes of calculating the total consideration. Payment of the total consideration or the offer consideration, as applicable, for validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) Notes plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon to, but not including the date of payment, is expected to be on the settlement date.
The tender offer expires at midnight, New York City time, on June 16, 2006.
