Ford Motor Company Announces Debt Reduction of $7.6 Billion Through Early Results, Upsizing and Settlement Date for Cash Tender Offers and Planned Redemption of its Remaining 8.500% Notes due April 2023

Ford Motor Company (“Ford” or the “Company”) announced today the early tender results and upsizing of its previously announced cash tender offers (each, a “Tender Offer” and collectively, the “Tender Offers”) to purchase its outstanding 9.000% Notes due April 2025, 9.625% Notes due April 2030, 7.45% GlobLS due July 2031, 9.980% Debentures due February 2047, 8.900% Debentures due January 2032, 8.500% Notes due April 2023, 7.500% Debentures due August 2026, 7.125% Debentures due November 2025, 6.625% Debentures due October 2028 and 6.375% Debentures due February 2029 (collectively, the “Securities”) in the order of priority set forth in the table below (the “Acceptance Priority Level”). The Company has amended the terms of the Tender Offers to increase the combined aggregate principal amount of Securities tendered (the “Aggregate Tender Cap”) from $5,000,000,000 to $6,795,510,000, which is equal to the amount of Securities tendered to date. The Company also announced that the anticipated early settlement date for the Tender Offers is November 22, 2021 (the “Early Settlement Date”). Other than with respect to the increase in the Aggregate Tender Cap, the terms and conditions of the Tender Offers remain unchanged as described in an Offer to Purchase dated November 4, 2021 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”).

As of the previously announced early tender date and time of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 18, 2021 (the “Early Tender Date”), according to information provided by Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the tender and information agent for the Tender Offers, the aggregate principal amount of each series of Securities set forth in the table below under “Principal Amount Tendered at Early Tender Date” has been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the applicable Tender Offer. Withdrawal rights for the Securities expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 18, 2021 (the “Withdrawal Deadline”).

The Company expects to announce the pricing of the Tender Offers and the amount of each series of Securities accepted for purchase later today.

The Securities accepted for purchase on the Early Tender Date will be accepted based on the Acceptance Priority Levels (with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 10 being the lowest Acceptance Priority Level), as set forth in the table above. All Securities validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date having a higher Acceptance Priority Level will be accepted before any Securities validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date having a lower Acceptance Priority Level are accepted in the Tender Offers. Securities validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase in priority to other Securities validly tendered after the Early Tender Date, even if such Securities validly tendered after the Early Tender Date have a higher Acceptance Priority Level than Securities validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date. Since the principal amount of Securities tendered as of the Early Tender Date is equal to the Aggregate Tender Cap, unless the Company increases the Aggregate Tender Cap prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 3, 2021 (such date and time, as it may be extended, the “Expiration Date”), no Securities tendered after the Early Tender Date will be accepted pursuant to the Tender Offers. The Company may increase the Aggregate Tender Cap at any time, subject to applicable law and currently expects that any such increase will be announced after pricing of the Tender Offers.

The applicable consideration (the “Total Consideration”) offered for the Securities will be a price per $1,000 principal amount of each series of Securities validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Tender Offer equal to an amount that would reflect, as of the date of purchase, a yield to the maturity date or the par call date, as applicable, determined by reference to the applicable fixed spread for such Securities (the “Fixed Spread”) specified in the table above plus the applicable yield (the “Reference Yield”) based on the bid-side price of the applicable U.S. Treasury Reference Security specified in the table above (as applicable to each series of Securities, the “Reference Security”) as quoted at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on November 19, 2021, pursuant to the terms set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

Holders of any Securities that are validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date and that are accepted for purchase will receive the applicable Total Consideration. The Total Consideration, as calculated using the Fixed Spread for each series of Securities set forth in the table above, is inclusive of the Early Tender Payment. In addition to the Total Consideration, all Holders of Securities validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers will, on the Early Settlement Date, also receive accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date.

The Company has satisfied the previously announced Financing Condition to the Tender Offers and expects to make payment on the Early Settlement Date for Securities that were validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date and that are accepted for purchase.

The Withdrawal Deadline has passed. Accordingly, Securities that have been tendered at the Early Tender Date and any additional Securities that are tendered at or prior to the Expiration Date may not be withdrawn, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law.

In addition, on November 22, 2021, the Company expects to deliver to the trustee for delivery to the holders of the 8.500% Notes due April 2023 a notice of redemption to redeem on December 7, 2021 (the “Redemption Date”) all of the 8.500% Notes due April 2023 not purchased by the Company in the applicable Tender Offer, at the redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the securities to be redeemed plus a make whole premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date. Payment of the redemption price and surrender of the 8.500% Notes due April 2023 for redemption will be made through the facilities of the Depository Trust Company in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository Trust Company on December 7, 2021.
