Press Releases

WASHINGTON, August 14, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE:FCN) (the "Company"), the global business advisory firm dedicated to helping organizations protect and enhance their enterprise value, announced today the commencement of a cash tender offer (the "Tender Offer") to purchase any and all of its outstanding $400 million aggregate principal amount of 6 ¾% Senior Notes due 2020 (CUSIP No. 302941 AJ8) (the "Notes"). The Tender Offer is being made on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated August 14, 2015 (the "Offer to Purchase") and the related Letter of Transmittal and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.

The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 27, 2015, unless extended or earlier terminated (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the "Expiration Time"). Tenders of the Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Time, but may not be withdrawn thereafter, unless the Company is required by applicable law to permit the withdrawal. The Company intends, though is not obligated, to redeem on October 1, 2015 the balance of outstanding Notes, if any remain outstanding after the consummation of the Tender Offer, at 103.375% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption. This announcement does not constitute a notice of redemption.

The consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Expiration Time and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will be the consideration set forth in the table below under "Purchase Price."

The Offer to Purchase is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions, including receipt by the Company, on or prior to the Payment Date (as defined below), of proceeds from borrowings under its revolving credit facility to the extent necessary to provide funds, together with cash on hand to be used for such purpose, to pay the Purchase Price plus Accrued Interest for Notes accepted in the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer is not conditioned on a minimum amount of Notes being tendered. The Company may amend, extend or terminate the Tender Offer in its sole discretion. 

The Company anticipates that it will accept for purchase and pay for Notes of holders who validly tender and do not validly withdraw such Notes, or who deliver to the tender agent a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery in accordance with the instructions described in the Offer to Purchase, at or prior to the Expiration Time. The payment date for Notes tendered at or prior to the Expiration Time is expected to be August 28, 2015 (the "Payment Date"). The payment date for Notes tendered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures is expected to be September 1, 2015 (the "Guaranteed Delivery Payment Date").

In addition to the Purchase Price, all holders of Notes accepted for purchase will also receive the Accrued Interest from the most recent interest payment date for the Notes to, but not including, the Payment Date (regardless of whether payment is made on the Payment Date or the Guaranteed Delivery Payment Date).

The Company has retained J.P. Morgan Securities LLC to serve as the Dealer Manager for the Tender Offer. The Company has retained D.F. King & Co., Inc. to serve as the information agent and tender agent for the Tender Offer.

None of the Company or its board of directors, the Dealer Manager, the Trustee or the information agent and tender agent makes any recommendation in connection with the Tender Offer. Holders must make their own decisions as to whether to tender their Notes, and, if so, the principal amount of Notes to tender. Please refer to the Offer to Purchase for a description of the offer terms, conditions, disclaimers and other information applicable to the Tender Offer.
