Item 8.01 Other Events.
On April 21, 2014, National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation (“CFC”) issued a press release announcing its commencement of an offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) up to $175 million aggregate principal amount of its 8.00% Medium Term Notes, Series C, due 2032 for consideration of newly issued 4.023% Collateral Trust Bonds due November 1, 2032 (the “New Bonds”) and cash. The New Bonds will comprise part of the same series as, and are expected to be fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with, the $379,372,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.023% Collateral Trust Bonds due November 1, 2032 (CUSIP 637432 MS1) that CFC initially issued on October 16, 2012. A copy of the press release announcing the Exchange Offer is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
The New Bonds have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws. Therefore, the New Bonds may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
