Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Hemisphere Media Group, Inc. (the “Company”) expects to hold a bank meeting on February 3, 2017 to discuss a possible amendment of the Company’s operating subsidiaries’ $225 million senior term loan (the “Existing Term Loan”). The purpose of the amendment is to, among other things, extend the maturity date of the Existing Term Loan, reduce the interest rate under the Existing Term Loan and make certain other changes thereto.  There can be no assurances that any such amendment will be completed.

Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, may contain certain statements about the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These include, but are not limited to, statements relating to the Company’s future financial and operating results (including growth and earnings), plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are based on the current expectations of the management of the Company and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstance, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Without limitation, statements regarding the proposed amendment and any statements preceded or followed by or that include the words “targets,” “plans,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “will,” “likely,” “may,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “positioned,” “strategy,” “future,” “potential,” “forecast,” or words, phrases or terms of similar substance or the negative thereof, are forward-looking statements. In addition, these statements are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include market factors, the receptivity of our lenders to the amendment proposal and also include those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as they may be updated in any future reports filed with the SEC. If one or more of these factors materialize, or if any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company’s actual results, performance, or achievements may vary materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements included herein are made as of the date hereof, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly such statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

The information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K, is furnished solely pursuant to Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.  Consequently, it is not deemed filed for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.  It may only be incorporated by reference in another filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act if such subsequent filing specifically references this Current Report on Form 8-K.
