NBTY, Inc. ("NBTY") announced today that it has extended the expiration date of its previously announced registered exchange offer for its outstanding 9% Senior Notes due 2018 (the "Private Notes"). NBTY originally issued the Private Notes, in an aggregate principal amount of $650.0 million, on October 1, 2010, in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Holders of the Private Notes may exchange them for an equal principal amount of a new issue of 9% Senior Notes due 2018 (the "Exchange Notes"), which NBTY registered under the Securities Act pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-4, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The terms of the exchange offer are contained in the exchange offer prospectus and related letter of transmittal.
The exchange offer, which was scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 21, 2011, will now expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 26, 2011, unless the Company further extends or terminates the exchange offer. Tenders of the Private Notes must be properly made before the exchange offer expires. Private Notes tendered in the exchange offer may be withdrawn at any time before the expiration date by following the procedures set forth in the exchange offer prospectus.
Except for the extension of the expiration date, all terms of the exchange offer remain as set forth in the prospectus, dated June 16, 2011, and the related letter of transmittal.
