DALLAS, TX — September 25, 2024 — Aethon United BR LP (“Aethon United,” “we,” “us” or “our”) today announced the pricing terms of the previously announced cash tender offer to purchase (the “Tender Offer”) any and all of the outstanding senior notes (the “Notes”) listed in the following table upon the terms and conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, dated September 19, 2024 (the “Offer to Purchase”), of Aethon United and its wholly-owned subsidiary Aethon United Finance Corp. (together with Aethon United, the “Offerors”).

Certain information regarding the Notes and the U.S. Treasury Reference Security, the Bloomberg reference page and the fixed spread is set forth in the table below.

The “Purchase Price” for each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn, and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer was determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the fixed spread specified above plus the yield based on the average of the bid-side and offer-side price of the U.S. Treasury Reference Security specified above, as quoted on the Bloomberg Bond Trader FIT3 series of pages, at 2:00 p.m. New York City time, on September 25, 2024, the date on which the Tender Offer is currently scheduled to expire. The Purchase Price is based on a yield to February 15, 2025, the date of the next specified redemption price reduction under the indenture governing the Notes, and assuming the Notes are redeemed on February 15, 2025, at the specified redemption price for such date of 100.000% of the principal amount, as described in the Offer to Purchase.

In addition to the Purchase Price, holders whose Notes are purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer will also receive accrued and unpaid interest thereon from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the initial date on which the Offerors make payment for such Notes, which date is currently expected to be October 1, 2024, assuming that the Tender Offer is not extended or earlier terminated.

The Tender Offer is being made pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Offer to Purchase and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, copies of which may be obtained from D.F. King & Co., Inc., the tender agent and information agent for the Tender Offer, by calling (800) 290-6427 (toll-free) or, for banks and brokers, (212) 269-5550. Copies of the Offer to Purchase and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery are also available at the following web address: www.dfking.com/aethon; or by requesting via email at aethon@dfking.com.

The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 25, 2024 unless extended or earlier terminated (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Time”). Tendered Notes may be withdrawn at any time before the Expiration Time. Holders of Notes must validly tender and not validly withdraw their Notes (or comply with the procedures for guaranteed delivery) before the Expiration Time to be eligible to receive the Purchase Price for their Notes.

Settlement for all Notes tendered prior to the Expiration Time or pursuant to a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery is expected to be October 1, 2024, assuming that the Tender Offer is not extended or earlier terminated.

There can be no assurance that any Notes will be purchased. The Tender Offer is conditioned upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the completion of a contemporaneous debt financing (the “Debt Financing”) by the Offerors on terms and conditions (including, but not limited to, the amount of proceeds raised in such Debt Financing) satisfactory to the Offerors. The Tender Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum amount of Notes being tendered. The Tender Offer may be amended, extended, terminated or withdrawn. The Offerors intend to use a portion of the net proceeds of the Debt Financing to fund the purchase of the Notes in the Tender Offer.

Subject to completion of the Tender Offer, we intend to redeem all Notes not purchased in the Tender Offer on or about February 15, 2025 (the “Redemption”) at a redemption price of 100.000% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.

The Offerors have retained J.P. Morgan Securities LLC to serve as the exclusive Dealer Manager for the Tender Offer. Questions regarding the terms of the Tender Offer may be directed to J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Liability Management Group, at (866) 834-4666 (toll-free) or (212) 834-4818 (collect).

This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any Notes in the Tender Offer and does not constitute a notice of redemption for the Notes.
