What Is a Tender Offer?
A tender offer is a bid to purchase some or all of shareholders' stock in a corporation. Tender offers are typically made publicly and invite shareholders to sell their shares for a specified price and within a particular window of time. The price offered is usually at a premium to the market price and is often contingent upon a minimum or a maximum number of shares sold.

To tender is to invite bids for a project or accept a formal offer such as a takeover bid. An exchange offer is a specialized type of tender offer in which securities or other non-cash alternatives are offered in exchange for shares.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
A tender offer is a public solicitation to all shareholders requesting that they tender their stock for sale at a specific price during a certain time.
The tender offer typically is set at a higher price per share than the company’s current stock price, providing shareholders a greater incentive to sell their shares.
In the case of a takeover attempt, the tender may be conditional on the prospective buyer being able to obtain a certain amount of shares, such as a sufficient number of shares to constitute a controlling interest in the company.

Sort of, they're wanting to buy back outstanding 500m Euros worth of existing loans/bonds which would expire soon
next year and possibly issue more to raise an unspecified amount at unspecified interest rate from institutions.
