Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
On February 5, 2013, Starz, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Starz, along with a co-issuer subsidiary of Starz, LLC (collectively the “Co-Issuers”) announced the proposed offering and later announced the pricing of $175 million aggregate principal amount of 5.00% senior notes due 2019 (the “Notes”), which Notes were offered pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The first press release issued on February 5 by the Co-Issuers (attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto) announced the proposed offering of $150 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes, and the second press release issued later that day by the Co-Issuers (attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto) announced the pricing of $175 million aggregate principal amount of Notes, reflecting an increase of $25 million over the initial offering. The Notes are being issued as additional notes under the indenture governing Starz, LLC’s existing $500 million 5.00% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “existing 5% senior notes”) and will have identical terms to, and will be treated as a single class with, the existing 5% senior notes. The net proceeds from the offering will be used to repay indebtedness under Starz LLC’s existing senior secured credit facility and for general corporate purposes. The offering is expected to close on or about February 8, 2013, subject to customary closing conditions.
This Current Report on Form 8-K and the press releases regarding the Starz, LLC debt offering attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, are being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission under Item 7.01 of Form 8-K in satisfaction of Regulation FD and shall not be deemed “filed” for any purpose.
