DALLAS--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE: THC) announced today the completion of its offer to exchange up to $1.6 billion aggregate principal amount of its outstanding notes maturing on Dec. 1, 2011 and June 1, 2012 for an equal aggregate principal amount of two new series of senior secured notes maturing in 2015 and 2018. A total of $1.4 billion of the outstanding notes were exchanged, consisting of $915 million or 91.5 percent of the 2011 notes and $484 million or 80.7 percent of the 2012 notes. In completing the exchange, the company will issue $1.4 billion of new notes consisting of approximately $700 million of 6-year notes and $700 million of 9-year notes with fixed coupon rates of 9.0 percent and 10.0 percent, respectively.

The new notes will be guaranteed by and secured by a pledge of the capital stock and other ownership interests of certain of Tenet's subsidiaries.
