Lions Gate Entertainment Inc. (“LGEI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (the “Company”), intends to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $200 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured second-priority notes due 2016 (the “Notes”) in a private offering to be conducted pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
LGEI intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to repay a portion of its outstanding debt under its revolving senior secured credit facility. However, LGEI intends to borrow amounts, from time to time, under its revolving senior secured credit facility for general corporate purposes.
This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes, nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements related to the proposed offering of the Notes, the anticipated use of proceeds therefrom and the anticipated use of LGEI’s revolving senior secured credit facility. These forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Except for the Company’s ongoing obligation to disclose material information as required by federal securities laws, it does not intend to update you concerning any future revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof.
