Successful issuance and pricing of a USD 500.0 million upsize of existing Term Loan AI

Telenet Group Holding NV (“Telenet” or the “Company”) announces the successful issuance and pricing of an additional USD 500.0 million Term Loan (“Facility AI2”). Facility AI2 carries the same characteristics as the initial Facility AI which was issued on April 4, 2017. As such, Facility AI2 carries (i) a margin of 2.75% over LIBOR, (ii) a 0% floor and (iii) a maturity of June 30, 2025. Term Loan AI2 was successfully issued at par.

Telenet Financing USD LLC intends to on-lend the net proceeds of this issuance to Telenet International Finance S.à r.l., which will use such proceeds to prepay Facility U under Telenet’s 2015 Amended Senior Credit Facility, of which the lender is Telenet Finance V Luxembourg S.C.A. (“TFLV”). TFLV will in turn use the proceeds from the prepayment of Facility U to redeem the €450.0 million Senior Secured Notes due August 2022.

Through this transaction, the Company has succeeded in extending the average tenor of its debt maturities from 8.3 years at the end of April 2017 to 8.6 years post-refinancing at attractive market conditions, while locking in long-term attractive interest rates. Post the repayment of the Senior Secured Notes, the Company would face no debt amortizations prior to 2024, taking into account the fact that the outstanding amounts under the revolving credit facilities have been repaid in October 2016.

The settlement of the aforementioned refinancing will occur in due course. 

J.P. Morgan Limited acted as Mandated Lead Arranger and Global Coordinator with The Bank of Nova Scotia, BNP Paribas Fortis SA/NV and Goldman Sachs acting as Mandated Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners.
