Brussels, April 4, 2017 – Today, Telenet Group Holding NV (“Telenet” or the “Company”) announced the successful syndication of a new €1.33 billion Term Loan facility (“Facility AH”) and a new USD 1.8 billion Term Loan facility (“Facility AI”), due respectively on March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025. Facility AH carries a margin of 3.0% over EURIBOR with a 0% floor and was issued at 99.75. Facility AI carries a margin of 2.75% over LIBOR with a 0% floor and was issued at 99.75.

The Telenet group intends to use the net proceeds from these facilities to entirely prepay the following credit facilities under Telenet’s 2015 Amended Senior Credit Facility: (i) Facility AE (€1.6 billion due January 2025, EURIBOR +3.25%, 0% floor), and (ii) Facility AF (USD 1.5 billion due January 2025, LIBOR + 3.00%, 0% floor). Through this transaction, the Company has succeeded in extending the average tenor of its debt maturities from 8 years at the end of December 2016 to 8.6 years post-refinancing at attractive market conditions, while ensuring increased covenant flexibility going forward. The Company faces no debt amortizations prior to 2022, 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.
