The $28 billion-asset company made the cash tender offer on Wednesday, according to a news release. An offer of $1,042 per $1,000 principal amount of the notes is scheduled to expire on Jan. 7. After that date, the offer drops to $1,012 per $1,000 principal amount; that offer is scheduled to expire on Jan. 22.

The offer was made on Synovus' outstanding 5.125% notes due June 2017. The aggregate principal balance of the notes is about $403.3 million. JPMorgan Chase is dealer-manager on the tender offer.
