CMS Energy Corporation (NYSE:CMS) today announced early tender results for its previously announced offer to purchase (the “Tender Offer”) for its 7.5% Senior Notes Due 2009 (CUSIP No. 125896 AH3)(the “Notes”).

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Monday, June 18, 2007 (the “Early Tender Date”), CMS had received tenders for $359.5 million in principal amount of the Notes (the “Tendered Notes”) representing about 88% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes. Subject to the conditions of consummating the Tender Offer, CMS will accept tenders of all of the Tendered Notes.

Settlement for the early tender price of $1,027.96 for each $1,000.00 principal amount of Tendered Notes (the “early tender price”), including an early tender payment of $20.00, is expected to be on Tuesday, July 3, 2007 (the “Settlement Date”). Settlement will also include payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Tendered Notes to, but not including, the Settlement Date.

The Tender Offer expires at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on Monday, July 2, 2007 (the “Expiration Date”). Holders who validly tender their Notes after the early tender date but before the Expiration Date will be entitled to receive only the tender price, which is the early tender price less the early tender payment of $20.00, plus accrued and unpaid interest on Notes accepted in the Tender Offer to, but not including, the Settlement Date.
