Mediacom Communications Completes

$1.37 Billion of Financing Transactions

 

 

Mediacom Park, NY February 15, 2017 Mediacom Communications Corporation (“MCCC”) announced today the completion of $1.37 billion of new term loans and revolving credit commitments by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mediacom LLC. Proceeds from the financing transactions were used to repay all of Mediacom LLC’s previously outstanding indebtedness.

Following these events, Mediacom LLC’s debt facilities comprise:

 

    $800 million of institutional term loans, scheduled to mature in February 2024;

 

    $370 million of revolving credit commitments, scheduled to expire in February 2022; and

 

    $200 million of bank-funded term loans, scheduled to mature in November 2021.  

“We are very pleased with today’s completed transactions, which reduce MCCC’s interest expense to an all-time low, while extending the maturities of our debt arrangements,” stated Mark E. Stephan, MCCC’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Mediacom’s quality reputation in the financial community fueled robust lender demand that allowed us to upsize and tighten the pricing on the institutional term loans. Our balance sheet has never been stronger, and with an industry-leading average cost of debt now below 4%, our ability to generate free cash flow has strengthened even further.”
