Virgin Media Enters Into £675 Million Term Loan B Commitment Documents and Announces Redemption of All Outstanding Senior Notes Due 2014
LONDON, April 12, 2010 — Virgin Media Inc. (NASDAQ:VMED) (LSE:VMED), a leading UK entertainment and communications business, today announced that it has entered into commitment documentation in respect of a term loan B facility in an aggregate principal amount of £675 million with the proposed lenders. These term loan B commitments constitute part of Virgin Media’s previously announced refinancing of its existing senior facilities agreement. The term loan B facility will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 375 basis points and the final maturity date will be 31 December 2015.
It is anticipated that closing under the new senior facilities agreement will take place on Monday April 19, 2010, subject to customary closing conditions. On the closing date, the term loan A facility and the term loan B facility under the new senior facilities agreement will be drawn down in full.
As previously announced, Virgin Media intends to use the proceeds from the term loan A and term loan B facilities under the new senior facilities agreement, among other things, to refinance its existing senior facilities agreement in full, which is expected to take place on or about April 19, 2010. The revolving credit facility will be available to finance ongoing working capital requirements and general corporate purposes.
Virgin Media has also given notice that it will redeem the full outstanding balance of its senior notes due 2014, using cash from its balance sheet, on May 12, 2010.
