Item 8.01                     Other Events

 

On April 11, 2008, Virgin Media Inc. (the “Company”)  announced the pricing of its offering of $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2016 (the “Notes”) through an offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Notes are not guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries.  The sale of the Notes is expected to close on April 16, 2008, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.  The Company also granted the initial purchasers a 30-day over-allotment option to purchase up to $150 million aggregate principal amount of additional Notes.

 

The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 6.50% per year, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears, beginning on November 15, 2008.  The Notes will be convertible, subject to certain conditions, at an initial conversion rate of 52.0291 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $19.22 per share and which represents a 55.38% premium to the closing share price on April 10, 2008), subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. Upon conversion of a Note, a holder will receive, at the election of the Company, shares of the Company’s common stock, cash or a combination of cash and common stock.  The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to their maturity. Holders of the Notes may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their Notes, in cash at par, upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes involving a change of control or delisting of the Company’s common stock.

 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of $979 million, combined with existing cash reserves, to prepay a portion of its outstanding “A” and “B” loans under its senior credit facilities. It is anticipated that the Company promptly will voluntarily prepay approximately GBP 261m of the “A” tranche that is currently scheduled for payment in September 2009, and approximately GBP 243m of the “B” tranche that is currently scheduled for repayment in September 2012.
