Feb 10, 2005. /Lesprom Network/. Buckeye Technologies Inc. (NYSE: BKI) today announced that it has extended until 5:00 pm on February 14, 2005, unless otherwise terminated or further extended, its solicitation of consents (the "Consent Solicitation") from holders of its outstanding $200 million aggregate principal amount of 8 1/2% Senior Notes due October 1, 2013 (the "2013 Notes") to amend the indenture for the 2013 Notes. The purpose of the Consent Solicitation is to amend certain provisions of the indenture governing the 2013 Notes to permit Buckeye to redeem $100 million of its 9 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due September 15, 2008 (the "2008 Notes"). In conjunction with the redemption of the 2008 Notes, Buckeye intends to amend its current credit facilities with, among other things, an incremental increase in its term borrowings of approximately $85 million. The Consent Solicitation was originally scheduled to terminate at 5:00 pm on February 9, 2005. All holders of our 2013 Notes who have previously delivered consents do not need to redeliver such consents or take any other action in response to this extension.
