On June 15, 2010, AK Steel Corporation (“AK Steel”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AK Steel Holding Corporation, completed the redemption of approximately $182.8 million in aggregate principal amount of AK Steel’s outstanding 7 3/4% Senior Notes due 2012 (the “Old Notes”). The aggregate redemption price for the Old Notes was approximately $189.9 million, an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the outstanding Old Notes, plus interest accrued to the redemption date, June 15, 2010. The redemption of the Old Notes follows AK Steel’s recent acceptance for purchase of $321.3 million of Old Notes tendered in AK Steel’s cash tender offer for the Old Notes, which expired on May 21, 2010. Accordingly, as a result of the aforementioned cash tender offer and redemption, AK Steel has discharged its obligations with respect to all of the approximately $504 million in aggregate principal amount of Old Notes that were outstanding prior to such transactions.
The Old Notes were governed by (i) an Indenture, dated as of June 11, 2002, among AK Steel, the guarantors party thereto, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to Fifth Third Bank), as trustee (“BNY Mellon”) (the “Indenture”), (ii) a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 8, 2003, among AK Steel, the guarantors party thereto, and BNY Mellon, as trustee (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), and (iii) a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 11, 2010, among AK Steel, the guarantors party thereto and BNY Mellon, as trustee (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and collectively with the Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture, the “Old Indentures”). AK Steel’s redemption of the Old Notes satisfies and discharges AK Steel’s obligations under the Old Indentures.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
