As previously announced, The Yankee Candle Company, Inc. (“Yankee Candle”) and YCC Holdings LLC (“YCC Holdings”) and Yankee Finance, Inc. (“Yankee Finance” and collectively with YCC Holdings, the “Senior Notes Issuers”) issued conditional redemption notices on May 24, 2013. Yankee Candle’s redemption notice was with respect to $188 million in aggregate principal amount of its 9 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 (the “Senior Subordinated Notes”), which represents all of the outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes. The redemption notice issued by the Senior Notes Issuers was with respect to $315 million in aggregate principal amount of their 10.25%/11.00% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “Senior Notes”), which represents all of the outstanding Senior Notes. Consummation of each redemption is conditioned on (i) the effectiveness of a proposed amendment to Yankee Candle’s $175 million senior secured asset-based credit facility to permit Yankee Candle’s entry into a new term loan facility and the issuance of new senior notes by Yankee Candle, (ii) receipt by Yankee Candle of gross cash proceeds from borrowings under its new term loan facility and the issuance of the new senior notes of at least $1,400 million in the aggregate and (iii) consummation of the other redemption and the repayment in full of Yankee Candle’s existing term loan facility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Yankee Candle and the Senior Notes Issuers may waive any or all components of such condition in their sole discretion. They may also delay the scheduled redemption date of June 24, 2013 or rescind the applicable redemption in their sole discretion if the condition is not satisfied by such date.
