Capsugel S.A. Announces Receipt of Requisite Consents in its Consent Solicitation Relating to the 7.00%/7.75% Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2019

MORRISTOWN, New Jersey, July 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Capsugel S.A. (the "Company") announced today that, pursuant to its previously announced solicitation of consents (the "Consent Solicitation") to holders of the outstanding 7.00%/7.75% Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2019 (CUSIP Nos. 14070H AA6 and L14578 AA3) (the "Notes"), the Company has received the requisite consents to approve an amendment (the "Proposed Amendment") to the "Limitation on Restricted Payments" covenant contained in the indenture relating to the Notes (the "Indenture") to allow the Company to make a one-time distribution to holders of the Company's capital stock.

The Company has received consents from holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Notes, voting as a single class. Accordingly, on July 23, 2014, the Company entered into a supplemental indenture with respect to the Indenture reflecting the amendment described above (the "Supplemental Indenture" and such time, the "Effective Time"). Pursuant to the terms of the Supplemental Indenture, the Proposed Amendment became effective at the Effective Time and thereafter binds every holder of Notes; however, the Proposed Amendment will only become operative upon consummation of the proposed offering of an additional $415 million of Notes to be issued under the Indenture.
