Other Events.
 
On May 23, 2024, Gray Television, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing that it priced an offering of $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 10.500% senior secured first lien notes due 2029 (the “Notes”), pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
 
The Notes are being offered, together with the net proceeds of up to $500 million of a new tranche F term loan, availability under its revolving credit facility and cash on hand, to refinance Gray’s $1.2 billion tranche E term loan due January 2, 2026, repurchase in a tender offer any and all of its outstanding 5.875% senior notes due 2026 and pay all fees and expenses in connection with the offering. A copy of the Press Release, which was issued in connection with the pricing of this offering of Notes and pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act, is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
 
Neither the Press Release nor this Current Report on Form 8-K constitutes an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes. The Notes and the related guarantees are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and the related guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from the Securities Act and applicable state securities or blue sky laws and foreign securities laws.
