Telenet launches exchange offer for certain term loans
Today, Telenet NV announced that it has launched a voluntary exchange process for certain term loans under its 2,300 million senior credit facility. Existing lenders in term loans A, B, D and E will have the opportunity to exchange their existing participations and commitments with participations and commitments in a new tranche with an extended maturity on June, 2017 at improved economics.
With this exchange process, the Company seeks to extend the average maturity of its term debt by approximately 2.7 years, assuming a full exchange of the offered participations. The extension offer will close on July 28, 2010.
This leverage-neutral transaction will further improve stability of Telenet's debt capitalization by providing additional cash flow flexibility to the business with almost no debt amortizations until mid-2017.
