Motorola Solutions Announces Early Results of Its Tender Offer

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI) (the “Company”) announced today the early results of its previously announced cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for up to $275,000,000 aggregate principal amount (the “Maximum Amount”) of its 4.000% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”).

The Tender Offer is being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated May 17, 2022 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”), which sets forth a detailed description of the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer is open to all registered holders (individually, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”) of Notes.

The consideration to be paid in the Tender Offer for Notes validly tendered and expected to be accepted for purchase as described in the Offer to Purchase (the “Total Consideration”) will be determined at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on June 1, 2022.

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 31, 2022 (the “Early Tender Date”), as reported by Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the Tender and Information Agent for the Tender Offer, the principal amount of Notes listed in the table above have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. The Withdrawal Deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 31, 2022 has passed and, accordingly, Notes validly tendered in the Tender Offer may no longer be withdrawn.

The Company expects to accept for purchase and make payment for Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date on June 2, 2022 (the “Early Settlement Date”), subject to proration. Because the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered exceeds the Maximum Amount, the Company expects that it will accept validly tendered Notes on a prorated basis in accordance with the Offer to Purchase.

Because the Company expects to accept for purchase approximately the Maximum Amount of Notes, no additional Notes will be purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer after the Early Settlement Date. As described in the Offer to Purchase, all Notes tendered and not accepted for purchase will be promptly returned to the tendering Holder’s account.

Holders of all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase are eligible to receive the Total Consideration, which includes the Early Tender Payment of $30 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date (the “Early Tender Payment”). In addition to the Total Consideration, Holders of Notes accepted for purchase will receive accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date (“Accrued Interest”).

The Company expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law, to terminate the Tender Offer at any time prior to the Expiration Date. The Tender Offer is not conditioned on any minimum principal amount of Notes being tendered but the Tender Offer is subject to certain conditions as described in the Offer to Purchase.

The Company has retained Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and TD Securities (USA) LLC to act as Dealer Managers (the “Dealer Managers”, and each a “Dealer Manager”) for the Tender Offer. Global Bondholder Services Corporation has been retained to act as the Tender and Information Agent for the Tender Offer. Requests for assistance relating to the procedures for tendering Notes may be directed to the Tender and Information Agent either by email at contact@gbsc-usa.com, or by phone (212) 430-3774 (for banks and brokers only) or (855) 654-2015 (for all others toll free).

No offer, solicitation, purchase or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.
