NEW YORK, August 29, 2019Assurant, Inc. (NYSE: AIZ) (“Assurant”), a leading global provider of housing and lifestyle solutions that support, protect and connect major consumer purchases, today announced the pricing terms of its previously-announced cash tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase up to $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount (the “Tender Cap”) of its 6.750% Senior Notes due 2034 (the “Notes”) ,as well as the anticipated early settlement date for the Offer on August 30, 2019 (the “Early Settlement Date”), as previously announced.

The Offer commenced on August 15, 2019 and will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on September 12, 2019 (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Date”). No tenders will be valid if submitted after the Expiration Date.

The following table sets forth some of the terms of the Offer:
2019 Reference Yield Table

Because the principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 28, 2019 (the “Early Tender Deadline”) exceeded the Tender Cap, Assurant will accept the Notes for purchase on a pro rata basis based on the proration factor set forth in the table above. In addition, Assurant will not accept any Notes tendered after the Early Tender Deadline.

The deadline to validly withdraw tenders was 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 28, 2019, and no withdrawal rights shall exist for tenders submitted after such time except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law. Only holders of Notes that validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline will be eligible to receive the Total Consideration on the Early Settlement Date, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the Offer.

Payments for Notes purchased will include accrued and unpaid interest from and including the most recent interest payment date for the Notes up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date.

Tenders of Notes will be accepted only in principal amounts equal to $1,000 or integral multiples thereof. The Offer is not conditioned on any minimum principal amount of Notes being tendered. Assurant’s obligation to accept for payment and to pay for the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions described in the Offer to Purchase. The Financing Condition described in the Offer to Purchase was satisfied on August 22, 2019, upon Assurant’s consummation of an offering of senior debt securities in an aggregate principal amount of $350,000,000. Assurant reserves the absolute right, subject to applicable law, to: (i) waive any or all conditions to the Offer; (ii) extend, terminate or withdraw the Offer; or (iii) otherwise amend the Offer in any respect.
