Axtel, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV:AXTELCPO; OTC:AXTLY) (“AXTEL” or “the Company”), a Mexican fixed-line integrated telecommunications company, announced today the successful pricing of $150 million of add-on notes to its U.S. Dollar Denominated Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”). The 2020 Notes were originally issued on January 31, 2013 and currently bear interest at 8.00% (increasing to 9.00% on January 31, 2015). The add-on notes will be issued at a price of 100.25% for a yield to maturity of 8.85%.

The add-on notes were sold pursuant to a private placement which is expected to close on September 17, 2014, subject to customary closing conditions. The proceeds of the transaction will be used principally for capital investments in telecommunication and information technologies mostly related to integrated-services projects for corporate and government customers, for working capital in support of such projects and for general corporate purposes.

Fungibility of 2020 Notes

The add-on notes to be issued in connection with this transaction will be fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with previously issued and outstanding 2020 Notes.

Other important information

The 2020 Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements, and will therefore be subject to substantial restrictions on transfer. This announcement is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the add-on notes or any 2020 Notes.
