The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) announced today the early results of its previously announced debt tender offer to purchase select P&G debt securities (collectively, the “Securities”).

In addition, P&G announced today that it has amended the terms of the tender offer to increase the maximum aggregate purchase price that P&G will pay in the tender offer from $1.25 billion to an amount that is sufficient to allow P&G to purchase the entire tendered principal amounts of the Securities in Acceptance Priority Levels 1 through 9 specified in the table below (as amended, the “Maximum Tender Amount”). P&G expects that it will pay approximately $1.40 billion to purchase those Securities that are accepted in the tender offer. The tender offer is being made solely pursuant to P&G’s Offer to Purchase, dated May 9, 2018, and the related Letter of Transmittal, as amended by this press release. Other than the increase in the Maximum Tender Amount, all other terms and conditions of the tender offer remain unchanged.

As of the Early Tender Deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 22, 2018, as reported by D.F. King, the tender and information agent for the tender offer, the principal amounts of the Securities listed in the table below had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. The withdrawal deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 22, 2018 has passed and, accordingly, Securities validly tendered in the tender offer may no longer be withdrawn except where additional withdrawal rights are required by law.

The amount of Securities that will be accepted for purchase will be subject to the Maximum Tender Amount. The amounts of each series of Securities that will be accepted for purchase will be determined in accordance with the Acceptance Priority Levels specified in the table above, with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 11 being the lowest Acceptance Priority Level.

The prices to be paid for each series of Securities accepted for purchase will be determined on May 23, 2018, at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, for the Securities denominated in U.S. Dollars, and 3:00 p.m., London time, for the Securities denominated in Sterling or Euro, and will be announced by a separate release on May 23, 2018.

The tender offer will expire at midnight, New York City time, at the end of June 6, 2018, unless extended or terminated. However, because the tender offer was fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Deadline, holders who validly tender Securities following that time will not have any of their Securities accepted for purchase. Securities not accepted for purchase will be promptly returned or credited to the holder’s account.

P&G’s obligation to accept for payment and to pay for the Securities validly tendered in the tender offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase.
