SAN ANTONIO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--iHeartCommunications, Inc. (“iHeart”) announced today the closing of its previously announced offering of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 9.0% Priority Guarantee Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued at a price of 101% of their principal amount plus accrued interest from September 10, 2014. The Notes have identical terms to, and are treated as a single class with, the $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.0% Priority Guarantee Notes due 2022 issued on September 10, 2014.
The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by iHeart’s parent, iHeartMedia Capital I, LLC, and all of iHeart’s existing and future material wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries. The Notes and the related guarantees are secured by (1) a lien on (a) the capital stock of iHeart and (b) certain property and related assets that do not constitute “principal property” (as defined in the indenture governing iHeart’s legacy notes), in each case equal in priority to the liens securing the obligations under iHeart’s senior secured credit facilities and existing priority guarantee notes and (2) a lien on the accounts receivable and related assets securing iHeart’s receivables based credit facility junior in priority to the lien securing iHeart’s obligations thereunder.
iHeart used the net proceeds from the offering to prepay at par $245.9 million of the loans outstanding under its term loan B facility and $4.1 million of the loans outstanding under its term loan C—asset sale facility, and to pay accrued and unpaid interest with regard to such loans to, but not including, the date of prepayment.
The Notes and related guarantees were offered only to “qualified institutional buyers” in reliance on the exemption from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to persons outside of the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and the related guarantees were not registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from the Securities Act and applicable state securities or blue sky laws and foreign securities laws.
