Insights

Edenor executes an oversubscribed debt tender, retiring U.S.$175M of 2030 notes at a premium.

Edenor is repurchasing U.S.$175,000,000 of its 9.75% Senior Notes due 2030 after investors tendered U.S.$270,371,968. The offer was oversubscribed, so only about 64.73% of tendered principal is accepted, indicating strong holder participation in the cash offer.

Holders whose notes are accepted receive U.S.$1,020 per U.S.$1,000 principal plus accrued interest, so Edenor is paying a premium to retire part of this high‑coupon debt. Early settlement is expected on April 30, 2026, and no final settlement will occur because the increased cap of U.S.$175,000,000 was fully used by early tenders.

From a credit perspective, this reduces outstanding 2030 notes from U.S.$475,000,000 to U.S.$300,000,000, which may lower future interest burdens. The transaction is supported by satisfaction of the New Notes Offering Condition referenced in the offer, though detailed terms of those new notes are contained in the separate offer to purchase.

tender offer financial
"its previously announced tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase Senior Notes"
A tender offer is a proposal made by a person or company to buy shares from existing shareholders at a set price, usually higher than the current market value, within a specific time frame. It matters to investors because it can lead to a change in ownership or control of a company, and shareholders must decide whether to sell their shares at the offered price.
Early Tender Deadline financial
"results for the Offer as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on April 28, 2026 (the “Early Tender Deadline”)"
Increased Tender Cap financial
"increase the pool tender cap for the Existing Notes from U.S.$150,000,000 to U.S.$175,000,000 in aggregate principal amount (the “Increased Tender Cap”)"
Accrued Interest financial
"Holders whose Existing Notes are validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer will receive Accrued Interest"
Accrued interest is the amount of interest that has built up on a loan, bond, or similar investment since the last payment date but has not yet been paid. For investors this matters because when you buy or sell a fixed‑income security between payment dates you compensate the other party for that earned interest—think of it like buying a house mid‑month and reimbursing the seller for days of heating already used—so it affects the actual cash you pay, the yield you receive, and short‑term returns.
prorated basis financial
"the Company will accept for purchase tendered Existing Notes on a prorated basis"
Early Settlement Date financial
"early settlement date on which the Company will settle the Existing Notes accepted in the Offer is expected to be April 30, 2026 (the “Early Settlement Date”)"
An early settlement date is the new, earlier day when a financial obligation — such as the delivery of shares, payment for a bond, or completion of a corporate action — is completed sooner than originally scheduled. It matters to investors because receiving cash or assets earlier changes cash flow timing, reinvestment opportunities, tax reporting and short-term risk exposure, like getting a paycheck a week early or having a bill paid ahead of schedule.

PRESS RELEASE

 

Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte S.A. (EDENOR S.A.) Announces Early Tender Results of its Debt Tender Offer, Increase to Tender Cap and Election of Early Settlement

 

BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA – April 28, 2026. Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte S.A. (EDENOR S.A.) (the “Company”) announced today the early tender results in connection with its previously announced tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase for cash up to U.S.$150,000,000 Aggregate Principal Amount of its Outstanding 9.75% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Existing Notes”) from each registered holder (each, a “Holder” and, collectively, the “Holders”) pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated April 15, 2026 (the “Offer to Purchase”).

 

The Company has exercised its discretion to increase the pool tender cap for the Existing Notes from U.S.$150,000,000 to U.S.$175,000,000 in aggregate principal amount (the “Increased Tender Cap”). Except as provided above, the terms and conditions of the Offer as set forth in the Offer to Purchase remain unchanged.

 

The following table summarizes the Early Tender Deadline results for the Offer as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on April 28, 2026 (the “Early Tender Deadline”) and the principal amount of Existing Notes that the Company has accepted for purchase:

(1)   Per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and that are accepted for purchase. In addition, Holders whose Existing Notes are validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer will receive Accrued Interest (as defined below).

 

The Withdrawal Date of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on April 28, 2026 has now passed. Existing Notes that have been validly tendered may no longer be withdrawn.

 

The conditions of the Offer set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including the New Notes Offering Condition (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), have been satisfied as of the Early Tender Deadline. The Company has elected to exercise its option to accept for purchase up to U.S.$175,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline, subject to the Increased Tender Cap and the terms and conditions described in the Offer to Purchase (the “Early Settlement Right”). The early settlement date on which the Company will settle the Existing Notes accepted in the Offer is expected to be April 30, 2026 (the “Early Settlement Date”). In light of the Increased Tender Cap having been reached as of the Early Tender Deadline, the Company will not have a Final Settlement Date.

 

The aggregate cash consideration for each U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes purchased pursuant to the Offer will be U.S.$1,020 (the “Early Tender Offer Consideration”), payable only in respect of Existing Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline that the Company accepts for purchase. Only Existing Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or before the Early Tender Deadline will be eligible to receive the Early Tender Offer Consideration, subject to the Increased Tender Cap. In addition, the Company will pay accrued interest (“Accrued Interest”) in respect of any Existing Notes purchased in the Offer from the last interest payment date to the Early Settlement Date.

 
 

 

 

 

Because the Offer was oversubscribed considering the aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes tendered as of the Early Tender Deadline and the Increased Tender Cap, the Company will accept for purchase tendered Existing Notes on a prorated basis, with the prorated aggregate principal amount of each Holder’s validly tendered Existing Notes accepted for purchase rounded down to the nearest U.S.$1.00. Depending on the amount tendered and the proration factor applied, if the principal amount of Existing Notes returned as a result of proration would result in less than the minimum denomination of the Existing Notes being accepted or returned, we will accept or reject all of such Holder’s validly tendered Existing Notes.

FAQ

What did Edenor (EDN) announce about its 9.75% 2030 notes tender offer?

Edenor announced early results of its cash tender offer for its 9.75% Senior Notes due 2030. Holders tendered U.S.$270,371,968 of U.S.$475,000,000 outstanding, and the company decided to accept U.S.$175,000,000 for purchase, reaching an increased tender cap.

How much debt is Edenor (EDN) buying back and at what price?

Edenor will repurchase U.S.$175,000,000 principal amount of its 9.75% Senior Notes due 2030. Accepted notes receive U.S.$1,020 per U.S.$1,000 principal, plus accrued interest from the last interest payment date to the early settlement date, compensating holders above par.

How many Edenor (EDN) 9.75% 2030 notes were tendered by the early deadline?

By the early tender deadline, holders tendered U.S.$270,371,968 of Edenor’s 9.75% Senior Notes due 2030. This exceeded the increased tender cap of U.S.$175,000,000, so the company is applying proration, accepting only part of each holder’s validly tendered notes for purchase.

What is the scaling factor in Edenor’s (EDN) debt tender, and why is it used?

The scaling factor is 64.73%, meaning each holder has approximately 64.73% of their validly tendered notes accepted. It is used because tenders totaling U.S.$270,371,968 exceeded the U.S.$175,000,000 cap, requiring pro rata allocation among participating noteholders.

When will Edenor (EDN) settle the accepted notes in the tender offer?

Edenor expects to settle accepted notes on the early settlement date of April 30, 2026. Only notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by the early tender deadline are eligible, and there will be no separate final settlement date since the increased cap was fully utilized early.

Do Edenor (EDN) noteholders receive accrued interest in the tender offer?

Yes. In addition to U.S.$1,020 per U.S.$1,000 principal, Edenor will pay accrued interest on purchased notes. Accrued interest runs from the last interest payment date on the 9.75% Senior Notes due 2030 up to the early settlement date for all accepted tenders.
