Boulder, Colo. — March 31, 2016 — Zayo Group, LLC (“Zayo”), a subsidiary of Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:ZAYO) and international provider of communications infrastructure services, announced today that it has priced its previously announced private offering of its 6.375% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”), through an add-on to its existing issue, and upsized the offering from $350 million to $550 million aggregate principal amount. The offering was conducted pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and is expected to close on or about April 14, 2016, subject to the satisfaction of various customary closing conditions.
Zayo intends to use the net proceeds from the offering plus cash on hand (i) to redeem its approximately $326 million of remaining 10.125% Senior Notes due 2020, including the required make-whole premium and accrued interest, and (ii) to repay approximately $197 million of borrowings under its secured term loan facility.
The 2025 Senior Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and are being offered and sold in the United States only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.
