On February 10, 2011, Ford Motor Company (“Ford”) announced that on March 15, 2011 it intends to redeem all of its outstanding 6.50% Junior Subordinated Convertible Debentures due January 15, 2032, which debentures are held by a subsidiary trust of Ford, Ford Motor Company Capital Trust II. This redemption will result in the simultaneous mandatory redemption by Ford Motor Company Capital Trust II of its outstanding 6.50% Cumulative Convertible Trust Preferred Securities (liquidation preference $50 per Trust Preferred Security) ("Trust Preferred Securities") (NYSE: "F PR S").
The redemption price will be $50.33 per Trust Preferred Security plus accrued and unpaid distributions thereon to the redemption date of $0.5416667 per Trust Preferred Security. Consistent with the terms of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust of Ford Motor Company Capital Trust II, no record date will be established with respect to this redemption. The redemption price and accrued and unpaid distributions will be payable to the holder of the Trust Preferred Securities upon presentation and surrender of the Trust Preferred Securities on or after the redemption date at the offices of the redemption and paying agent.
The New York Stock Exchange has indicated that the last day of trading in the Trust Preferred Securities on the exchange will be March 8, 2011 in order that all trades in the security settle prior to the termination of holders’ conversion rights at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 14, 2011 (i.e., the day prior to the redemption date).
