CBS CORPORATION ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF CBS OUTDOOR EXCHANGE OFFER Published on: 07/10/2014 | All 2014 Press Releases
CBS Corporation (NYSE: CBS.A and CBS) today announced that based on preliminary results, its previously announced offer to its shareholders to exchange their shares of CBS Class B common stock for up to 97 million shares of CBS Outdoor Americas Inc. (NYSE: CBSO) common stock that are owned by CBS was oversubscribed. The exchange offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on July 9, 2014. Under the terms of the exchange offer, 2.1689 shares of CBS Outdoor common stock will be exchanged for each share of CBS Class B common stock accepted in the exchange offer.
According to the exchange agent, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 304,086,134 shares of CBS Class B common stock were tendered prior to the expiration of the exchange offer, including 100,151,366 shares of CBS Class B common stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and 203,934,768 shares of CBS Class B common stock that were tendered by notice of guaranteed delivery. CBS has accepted 44,723,131 of the tendered shares in exchange for 97 million shares of CBS Outdoor common stock owned by CBS. Because the exchange offer was oversubscribed, CBS accepted tendered shares of CBS Class B common stock on a pro rata basis in proportion to the total number of shares tendered and not validly withdrawn. Shareholders who owned fewer than 100 shares of CBS Class B common stock, or an odd lot, and who validly tendered all of their shares, will not be subject to proration in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer.
Based on the total number of shares of CBS Class B common stock reported to be tendered prior to the expiration of the exchange offer, it is estimated that approximately 14.6% of the tendered shares of CBS Class B common stock that are subject to proration will be exchanged, assuming all shares tendered by guaranteed delivery procedures are delivered under the terms of the exchange offer. This preliminary proration factor is subject to change based on the number of tendered shares that satisfy the guaranteed delivery procedures.
CBS expects to announce the final proration factor promptly following the expiration of the guaranteed delivery period, which is expected to occur on July 14, 2014. Promptly after the final proration factor is announced, shares of CBS Class B common stock tendered but not accepted for exchange will be returned to the tendering shareholders in book-entry form. Also at that time, the exchange agent will credit shares of CBS Outdoor common stock for distribution in the exchange offer in book-entry form to accounts maintained by the CBS Outdoor transfer agent for tendering shareholders who have validly tendered and not validly withdrawn their shares of CBS Class B common stock. Checks in lieu of fractional shares of CBS Outdoor common stock will be delivered after the exchange agent has aggregated all fractional shares and sold them in the open market.

The terms and conditions of the exchange offer are more fully described in the registration statement on Form S-4, which includes a prospectus, previously filed by CBS Outdoor with the Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC ), as well as a Schedule TO, previously filed by CBS with the SEC, in each case as amended. The prospectus contains important information about CBS, CBS Outdoor, the exchange offer, the separation of CBS Outdoor from CBS, and related matters.
