IRVING, Texas, July 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — CP Atlas Buyer, Inc. (the “Company“), the parent company of American Bath Group, LLC (“ABG“), a leading manufacturer of showers, bathtubs and related accessories, today announced the early exchange results of the previously announced offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer“) any and all of the Company’s outstanding 7.000% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Old Notes“) held by Eligible Holders (as defined herein) for newly issued Second Lien PIK Toggle Notes due 2031 (the “Exchange Notes” and the issuance thereof, the “Exchange Notes Issuance“) to be issued by the Company and guaranteed by CP Atlas Intermediate, Inc., the parent entity of the Company, and each of the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exclusions. The Exchange Notes will bear interest at a rate of 12.750% per annum, which was determined based on the pricing of the New First Lien Notes (the “New First Lien Notes“) on July 1, 2025 and notified to holders of the Old Notes, and will be payable partly in cash and partly “in-kind,” in the manner set forth in the confidential offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement, dated June 25, 2025 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Exchange Offering Memorandum“).
As of 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on July 9, 2025 (the “Early Exchange Time“), the Company received from Eligible Holders valid and unwithdrawn tenders and related Consents (as defined herein), as reported by D.F. King & Co., Inc. (the “Exchange Agent“), representing $477,339,000 in aggregate principal amount of Old Notes, or approximately 93.60% of the aggregate principal amount of Old Notes outstanding, as further specified in the table below (in each case, excluding the existing private placement notes, which are not fungible with the Old Notes and are not entitled to vote on any matters relating to the Old Notes).

No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP numbers or ISINs listed in this press release, the Exchange Offering Memorandum or printed on the Old Notes. Such CUSIP numbers and ISINs are provided solely for the convenience of the Eligible Holders of Old Notes. |
(2) |
For each $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes validly tendered and accepted for exchange, the Company will pay accrued and unpaid interest in addition to the Early Exchange Consideration or Late Exchange Consideration (each as defined in the Exchange Offering Memorandum), as applicable, to, but excluding, the settlement date for the Exchange Offer (the “Settlement Date“). No consideration will be paid for Consents in the Consent Solicitation. Interest on the Exchange Notes will accrue from the Settlement Date. The Early Exchange Consideration and the Late Exchange Consideration, as applicable, will be paid on the Settlement Date. |
(3) |
Does not include approximately $10.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the existing private placement notes. The existing private placement notes are not fungible with the Old Notes and such holders are not entitled to vote on any matters relating to the Old Notes. Holders of such notes will not participate in the Exchange Offer and any actions taken by them in connection with the Private Exchange (as defined in and as further described in the Exchange Offering Memorandum) will have no effect in determining the level of participation in the Exchange Offer. |
To the extent there are no additional tenders of Old Notes following the Early Exchange Time, and all of the Old Notes validly tendered prior to the Early Exchange Time are accepted for purchase in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer, the aggregate principal amount of Exchange Notes to be issued following consummation of the Exchange Offer, including the Private Exchange Notes to be issued to the private placement noteholders in the Private Exchange (each as set forth in the Exchange Offering Memorandum), will be approximately $487,639,000.
In addition, as of the Early Exchange Time, the Company received the requisite number of consents (the “Consents“) in the concurrent consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation“) from Eligible Holders of the Old Notes to adopt certain proposed amendments (the “Proposed Amendments“) to the indenture governing the Old Notes, dated as of November 25, 2020 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Old Notes Indenture“), to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain of the default provisions, modify covenants regarding mergers and consolidations, and modify or eliminate certain other provisions, and release the guarantees provided by the guarantors of the Old Notes. On July 9, 2025, the Company entered into a supplemental indenture with the trustee for the Old Notes and the guarantors party thereto to reflect the Proposed Amendments, but the Proposed Amendments will become operative only upon, and subject to, the consummation of the Exchange Offer on the Settlement Date.
As of 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on July 9, 2025, the right to withdraw tenders of Old Notes and related Consents expired (the “Withdrawal Deadline“). Accordingly, Old Notes tendered for exchange at or before such time may not be validly withdrawn and Consents may no longer be revoked, unless required by applicable law, or the Company determines in the future in its sole discretion to reinstate withdrawal and revocation rights. The Exchange Offer and the Consent Solicitation will expire at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on July 24, 2025, unless extended or terminated earlier (such time and date as it may be extended or terminated earlier, the “Expiration Time“). Subject to the tender and acceptance procedures described in the Exchange Offering Memorandum, Eligible Holders who validly tender Old Notes after the Early Exchange Time but at or prior to the Expiration Time will receive the Late Exchange Consideration. No consideration will be paid for Consents in the Consent Solicitation. Each participating Eligible Holder must validly tender all of the Old Notes it holds. Partial tenders of Old Notes will not be accepted.
The consummation of each of the Exchange Offer, the Consent Solicitation and the Exchange Notes Issuance is subject to, and conditioned upon, the satisfaction or waiver by the Company of, the conditions described in the Exchange Offering Memorandum. Subject to applicable law, the Company reserves the right to, at any time, (i) extend, terminate, withdraw, amend or extend the Exchange Offer and/or the Consent Solicitation or (ii) waive or amend any condition described in the Exchange Offering Memorandum, without extending the Early Exchange Time or the Withdrawal Deadline or otherwise reinstating withdrawal rights, if any of the conditions set forth under “Conditions of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation” in the Exchange Offering Memorandum with respect to the Exchange Offer is not satisfied or waived by the Expiration Time.
The Exchange Notes and the offering thereof have not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act“), or any state or foreign securities laws. The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation will only be made, and the Exchange Notes are only being offered and issued, to holders of Old Notes that are (a) reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act or (b) non-U.S. persons, in transactions outside the United States, as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act (such holders, the “Eligible Holders“). Only Eligible Holders that have completed and returned the eligibility certification, which is available at www.dfking.com/cpatlas, are authorized to receive and review the Exchange Offering Memorandum and to participate in the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation. Copies of all the documents relating to the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation may be obtained from the Exchange Agent, subject to confirmation of eligibility by the Exchange Agent, available at: www.dfking.com/cpatlas. There will be no letter of transmittal for the Exchange Offer.
Eligible Holders of the Old Notes are urged to carefully read the entire Exchange Offering Memorandum, including the information presented under “Risk Factors” and “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” before making any decision with respect to the Exchange Notes Issuance, the Exchange Offer or the Consent Solicitation. None of the Company, the Dealer Managers (as defined in the Exchange Offering Memorandum), the Exchange Agent, the Information Agent (as defined herein), the Old Notes Trustee (as defined in the Exchange Offering Memorandum), the Exchange Notes Trustee (as defined in the Exchange Offering Memorandum), the Exchange Notes Collateral Agent (as defined in the Exchange Offering Memorandum) or any affiliate of any of them makes any recommendation as to whether any Eligible Holder of Old Notes should tender or refrain from tendering all or any portion of the principal amount of such Eligible Holder’s Old Notes for Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer. No one has been authorized by any of them to make such a recommendation. Each Eligible Holder of Old Notes must make its own decision whether to tender Old Notes in the Exchange Offer and, if so, the amount of Old Notes as to which action is to be taken. Each Eligible Holder of Old Notes should consult with its advisors as needed to make its decision to tender Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer and to deliver Consents pursuant to the Consent Solicitation and to determine whether it is legally permitted to participate in the Exchange Offer under applicable laws or regulations.
D.F. King & Co., Inc. has been appointed as the Exchange Agent and the Information Agent (the “Information Agent“) for the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation.
