Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Indenture
On November 18, 2019, OUTFRONT Media Inc. (the “Company”), along with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Outfront Media Capital LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Finance LLC”), and Outfront Media Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (together with Finance LLC, the “Issuers” or the “Borrowers”), and the other guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”), entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”) with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Trustee”), relating to the issuance by the Issuers of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”). The Notes were sold in a private transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, 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.
The Notes bear an interest rate of 4.625% per annum and interest on the Notes will be payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2020. The Notes will mature on March 15, 2030. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuers and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and the Guarantors.
The terms of the Notes are governed by the Indenture. The Indenture contains customary covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ abilities to, among other things, (i) incur additional indebtedness, guarantee indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or, in the case of such subsidiaries, preferred stock, (ii) pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of the Company’s or Finance LLC’s capital stock or make other restricted payments, (iii) make certain investments or acquisitions, (iv) sell, transfer or otherwise convey certain assets, (v) create liens, (vi) enter into agreements restricting certain subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany transfers, (vii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ assets, (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates, (ix) prepay certain kinds of indebtedness, and (x) issue or sell stock of the Company’s subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications. Further, certain of these covenants will cease to apply after the date on which the Notes receive investment grade ratings from both Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and S&P Global Ratings, provided no default or event of default under the Indenture exists at that time. Such terminated covenants will be reinstated if the Notes lose their investment grade ratings at any time thereafter.
The Issuers may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time, or from time to time, on or after March 15, 2025, at redemption prices listed in the Indenture. In addition, prior to March 15, 2025, the Issuers may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes in an amount not to exceed the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings, at a redemption price of 104.625% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption; provided that at least 50% of the aggregate amount of the Notes remains outstanding after such redemption. The Issuers may also redeem all or some of the Notes at any time, or from time to time, prior to March 15, 2025, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.
Upon the occurrence of a “change of control repurchase event,” as defined in the Indenture, the Company is required to offer to repurchase the Notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date.
The Indenture contains customary events of default, including failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants, failure to pay or acceleration of certain other indebtedness, failure to pay certain judgments, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, and certain failures or repudiations of guarantees of the Notes. An event of default under the Indenture will allow either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes to accelerate, or in certain cases, will automatically cause the acceleration of, the amounts due under the Notes.
The foregoing descriptions of the Indenture and the Notes do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture (which includes the form of the Notes), a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Credit Agreement
On November 18, 2019, the Company, along with the Borrowers, and the other guarantors party thereto, entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its credit agreement and its related security agreement, each dated as of January 31, 2014 (together, and as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”), with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. and the other lenders party thereto from time to time, as applicable.
The Amendment provides for (i) the extension of the maturity date of the Borrowers’ existing revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) from March 16, 2022 to November 18, 2024, (ii) the extension of the maturity date of the Borrowers’ existing term loan (the “Term Loan”) from March 16, 2024 to November 18, 2026, (iii) an increase to the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility by $70.0 million to $500.0 million, (iv) a decrease to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan, using cash on hand, to $600.0 million, (v) a reduction in the interest rate margins applicable to the Borrowers under the Term Loan from 1.00% to 0.75%, in the case of base rate borrowings, and from 2.00% to 1.75%, in the case of London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) borrowings, (vi) a reduction in the interest rate margins applicable to the Borrowers under the Revolving Credit Facility from a range of 1.25% to 1.00% to a range of 0.75% to 0.25%, in the case of base rate borrowings, and from a range of 2.25% to 2.00% to 1.75% to 1.25%, in the case of LIBOR borrowings, in each case, based on the Borrowers’ leverage ratio, and (vii) revisions to certain provisions of the Credit Agreement to, among other things, update covenants for greater operational and financial flexibility to the Company (including incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens), as well as include other clarifying, conforming and ministerial changes to the Credit Agreement. The Amendment also includes an obligation for the Borrowers to pay a prepayment premium to the Term Loan lenders in the amount of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan outstanding in the event of another repricing transaction on or before the six-month anniversary of the Amendment. The remaining terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended by the Amendment, are substantially the same as the terms under the existing Credit Agreement, including with respect to events of default and loan acceleration (other than increasing the threshold amount for triggering certain events of default by $10.0 million).
The Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan are secured by the same collateral and guaranteed by the same guarantors as under the existing Credit Agreement.
The foregoing descriptions of the Amendment and the Credit Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Amendment (which includes the Credit Agreement), a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
