Taylor Morrison has launched a solicitation to amend the terms of three senior notes (maturities 2028, 2030, 2032). Eligible holders will receive a consent fee of $1.00 per $1,000 principal if consent is delivered by Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. New York time and all conditions are satisfied. Berkshire Hathaway intends, but is not required, to assume an unconditional guarantee for each note series after the closing of the merger. The amendments will take effect only once the fee has been fully paid and the merger is completed; J.P. Morgan is acting as sole dealer manager. » More on de.investing.com
