On May 31, 2017, WideOpenWest Finance, LLC (“WOW!”), a subsidiary of WideOpenWest, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a seventh amendment to its credit agreement with Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the revolver agent, and the other parties thereto (the “Seventh Amendment”). The Seventh Amendment (i) refinances the existing $200 million of borrowings available to WOW! under the revolving credit facility, with an additional $100 million of revolving credit facility borrowings to become available upon compliance by WOW! with certain conditions and (ii) extends the maturity date of the revolving credit facility to May 31, 2022, unless an earlier date is triggered under certain circumstances. Loans under the revolving credit facility will bear interest, at the option of WOW!, at a rate equal to ABR plus 2.00% or LIBOR plus 3.00%. The guarantees, collateral and covenants in the Seventh Amendment remain unchanged from those contained in the credit agreement prior to the Seventh Amendment.
