Morgan Securities Inc., Credit Suisse First Boston, acting through its Cayman Islands Branch, Citicorp North America, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank AG Cayman Islands Branch and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (collectively, the “Exit Lenders”).

Item 9.                                                           Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On June 28, 2004, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, including each of the registrants, filed a notice (the “Notice”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) advising the Bankruptcy Court that on June 28, 2004, the Company and the Exit Lenders entered into an amendment to the amended and restated commitment letter and an amendment to the amended and restated fee letter, each relating to the Company’s proposed $8.8 billion exit financing facility.

A copy of the amendment to the amended and restated commitment letter and a copy of Exhibit D to the Notice, which summarizes certain changes contemplated by the amendment to the amended and restated commitment letter and the amendment to the amended and restated fee letter, each in the form filed with Bankruptcy Court, are included herewith as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively.

In accordance with general instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K (including exhibits) (this “Report”) that is being furnished pursuant to Item 9

 

2



 

of Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), except as expressly set forth in such filing.  This report will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information in the report that is required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.

 

Cautionary Statement Regarding Financial and Operating Data

As a result of actions taken by management of the Company during the time that members of the Rigas family held senior executive positions: (a) the Company has not yet completed its financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, or received its independent public accountants’ report thereon or filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001; (b) the Company’s former independent public accountants, Deloitte & Touche LLP, suspended their auditing work on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2001 and withdrew the audit reports it had issued with respect to the financial statements of the Company; (c) the Company has not yet completed its financial statements or filed with the Commission its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as of and for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2004, September 30, 2003, June 30, 2003 and March 31, 2003; (d) the Company has not yet completed its financial statements or filed with the Commission its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as of and for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2002, June 30, 2002 and March 31, 2002; and (e) the Company expects to restate its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, and possibly other periods. New management took control of the Company in May 2002, retained new independent auditors and began the preparation of financial statements for the periods in question. Current management believes that the public information provided by certain members of the Rigas family on other matters of interest to investors, such as the percentage of the Company’s cable television systems that the Company believes have been upgraded to current standards, was unreliable. Until the completion of the restatement and the disclosure of restated financial results, previously reported financial information and other public information provided by the Rigas family should not be relied upon and information contained in this Report may have to be updated or supplemented. The Company is working to complete the restatement as promptly as possible and to obtain the opinion of its independent auditors on such restated financial statements. Receipt of an audit opinion with respect to the restated financial statements is a condition to consummation of the Company’s proposed plan of reorganization and to consummation of the Company’s proposed exit financing facilities.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements regarding the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ and affiliates’ expected future financial position, results of operations, cash flows, process for sale of the Company, restructuring and financing plans, expected emergence from bankruptcy, business strategy, budgets, projected costs, capital expenditures, network upgrades, products and services, competitive positions, growth

 

3



 

opportunities, plans and objectives of management for future operations, as well as statements that include words such as “anticipate,” “if,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “will,” and other similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and readers must recognize that actual results may differ materially from the Company’s expectations. The Company does not undertake a duty to update such forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the Company’s pending bankruptcy proceeding, results of litigation against the Company and government investigations of the Company, the effects of government regulation including the actions of local cable franchising authorities, the availability of financing, actions of the Company’s competitors, results and impacts of any process to sell the Company or its assets, customer response to repackaged services, pricing and availability of programming, equipment, supplies, and other inputs, the Company’s ability to upgrade its network, technological developments, and changes in general economic conditions. Many of these factors are outside of the Company’s control.

SIGNATURE

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, each registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Reference is made to that certain amended and restated commitment letter executed on March 24, 2004 and effective as of February 24, 2004 (as amended on June 1, 2004, the “Commitment Letter”) among Adelphia Communications Corporation (“Adelphia”), JPMorgan Chase Bank (“JPMCB”), Credit Suisse First Boston, acting through its Cayman Islands Branch (“CSFB”), Citicorp North America, Inc. (“Citigroup”), Deutsche Bank AG Cayman Islands Branch (“DB Cayman” and, together with JPMCB, CSFB and Citigroup, the “Initial Lenders”), J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (“JPMSI”), Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGMI”) and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (“DBSI” and, together with JPMSI, CSFB and CGMI, the “Arranger Group”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 2 of Amended and Restated Commitment Letter (the “Amendment Letter”) have the meanings assigned thereto in the Commitment Letter.

 

Each of the undersigned agrees that, effective on and as of the date hereof:

 

1.            The fifth paragraph of the Commitment Letter is amended (1) by replacing the words “upon the occurrence of the Reduction Event (as hereinafter defined) or a Company Event (as hereinafter defined)” contained in clause (ii) of the first sentence thereof with the words “upon the occurrence of the Reduction Event (as hereinafter defined), a Company Election (as hereinafter defined) or the JV Event (as hereinafter defined)”, (2) by replacing the words “third immediately succeeding paragraph hereof” contained in clause (iii) of the first sentence thereof with the words “fourth immediately succeeding paragraph hereof”, (3) by replacing the words “upon the occurrence of the Reduction Event or a Company Election” contained in the fourth sentence thereof with the words “upon the occurrence of the Reduction Event, a Company Election or the JV Event” and (4) by replacing the words “two paragraphs hereof” contained in the fourth sentence thereof with the words “three paragraphs hereof”.

 

2.            The sixth paragraph of the Commitment Letter is amended to replace the proviso to the first sentence thereof in its entirety with the following proviso: “provided, that (i) in the event the Reduction Event occurs prior to the occurrence of the JV Event, the Initial Lenders shall not be permitted to reduce their commitment under the terms of this Commitment Letter pursuant to the terms of this paragraph to less than $2 billion in the aggregate, it being agreed that in the event the aggregate commitment of the Initial Lenders is reduced as provided in this clause (i), $750 million of such reduced commitment shall be allocated to the Revolving Credit Facility and a minimum of $1.25 billion of such

 



 

reduced commitment shall be allocated among the Tranche A Term Loan, the Tranche B Term Loan and the Bridge Facility as determined by the Arranger Group in its discretion and (ii) in the event the Reduction Event occurs following the occurrence of the JV Event, the Initial Lenders shall not be permitted to reduce their commitment under the terms of this Commitment Letter pursuant to the terms of this paragraph to less than an amount, in the aggregate, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) $2 billion by (y) an amount (expressed as a percentage) obtained by subtracting (1) the JV Fraction (as hereinafter defined) from (2) 1.00 (the amount obtained by subtracting (1) from (2) and expressed as a percentage is hereinafter referred to as the “Residual Percentage”), it being agreed that in the event the aggregate commitment of the Initial Lenders is reduced as provided in this clause (ii), an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) $750 million by (2) the Residual Percentage shall be allocated to the Revolving Credit Facility and all other committed amounts (after giving effect to such reduction and the allocation to the Revolving Credit Facility) shall be allocated among the Tranche A Term Loan, the Tranche B Term Loan and the Bridge Facility as determined by the Arranger Group in its discretion (the reduction of the aggregate commitment of the Initial Lenders contemplated by this paragraph is referred to herein as the “Reduction Event”).”

 

3.            The seventh paragraph of the Commitment Letter is amended by replacing the words “it being agreed and understood that such reduced commitment shall be allocated among the Tranche A Term Loan, the Tranche B Term Loan and the Bridge Facility (after $750 million shall have been reserved for the Revolving Credit Facility) as determined by the Arranger Group in its discretion” contained at the end of the first sentence thereof with the words “it being agreed and understood that such reduced commitment shall be allocated among the Tranche A Term Loan, the Tranche B Term Loan and the Bridge Facility (after $750 million shall have been reserved for the Revolving Credit Facility (or, in the event the JV Event shall have occurred prior to the making of the Company Election, an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) $750 million by (ii) the Residual Percentage shall have been reserved for the Revolving Credit Facility)) as determined by the Arranger Group in its discretion, it being understood and agreed that if, prior to the making of the Company Election, the JV Event shall have occurred, the subsequent election by the JV Entities or any of them to issue new debt instruments to the lenders under the pre-petition credit facilities of the JV Entities shall not constitute a Company Election or give rise to any reduction of the commitments of the Initial Lenders hereunder and no such debt instruments issued by any such JV Entity shall be considered a Rollover Security for any purpose hereof”.

 

4.            A new paragraph is added to the Commitment Letter immediately after the seventh paragraph thereof, to read in its entirety as follows:

Exhibit 99.2

 

EXHIBIT D

 

SUMMARY OF MATERIAL TERMS OF JUNE 28 AMENDED DOCUMENTS(1)

 

This Exhibit D summarizes the material changes to the Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter which are set forth in the June 28 Amended Documents.  The material changes contemplated by the June 28 Amended Documents are set forth below.

 

A.                                    COMMITMENT LETTER AMENDMENT.

 

1.                                       Amendments Not Related to Comcast/Adelphia Joint Ventures.

 

                  Amendments to the Draft Plan of Reorganization.  Under the terms of Amendment No. 2 of Amended and Restated Commitment Letter (the “Commitment Letter Amendment”), the condition providing that no provision of the Draft Plan of Reorganization can be amended, supplemented or modified in any material respect that is adverse to the Lenders without the consent of the Arranger Group or the Joint Bookrunners, as the case may be, shall be modified to clarify that the Arranger Group’s or the Joint Bookrunners’ consent, as the case may be, shall not be required to the extent that any such amendment modifies only the allocation or distribution of Adelphia’s common stock and/or rights or interests in the Contingent Value Vehicle to constituents or other parties in interest.

 

                  Confirmation Order.  The Commitment Letter Amendment also amends the condition requiring that the confirmation order shall be in full force and effect and shall have become a final order not subject to any stay, appeal, modification or reversal.  The amended condition requires that the confirmation order shall be in full force and effect and shall not have been reversed or modified and shall not be stayed or subject to a motion to stay, and that the period for appealing the confirmation order shall have elapsed.  Accordingly, once the appeal period with respect to the confirmation order has elapsed, the condition will be deemed satisfied, notwithstanding the fact that an appeal may be unresolved and outstanding at the end of such period (provided no stay is then in effect and no stay motion is pending at the end of such period).

 

                  SEC Condition.  Under the terms of the Commitment Letter Amendment, the condition requiring that the Arranger Group or the Joint Bookrunners, as the case may be, be reasonably satisfied with the status of any unresolved or non-discharged claims or proceedings with the SEC and certain other governmental agencies has been modified to provide that with respect to an unresolved or non-discharged monetary claim by the SEC, the condition will be deemed satisfied (and the Arranger Group or the Joint Bookrunners, as the case may be, will not have to be reasonably satisfied with the status of any such

 


(1)                                  This summary and description of the material changes to the terms of the Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter is being provided for the convenience of the Court and the parties in interest.  In all instances, the actual terms of the June 28 Amended Documents will control.

 



 

unresolved or non-discharged monetary claim) if such monetary claim can be paid only in common stock of Adelphia and/or by a distribution of proceeds from the Contingent Value Vehicle (provided such distribution does not require any material contribution to such vehicle by the Credit Parties).

 

                  Market MAC.  The Commitment Letter Amendment deletes in its entirety the condition that would have enabled the Initial Lenders to refuse to fund the Senior Secured Credit Facilities in the event the Arranger Group was to determine in good faith that a material adverse change in the financial or capital markets generally or in the market for syndicated credit facilities would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the syndication of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

 

2.                                       Amendments Related to Comcast/Adelphia Joint Ventures.

 

                  General Modification.  Under the terms of the Commitment Letter Amendment, in the event that (i) Adelphia reasonably determines in good faith that (A) all or substantially all of the assets of the entities comprising the joint ventures between Comcast Corporation (together with its affiliates, “Comcast”) and Adelphia (collectively, the “JV Entities”) cannot, without the consent of Comcast, be pledged as collateral under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or the JV Entities cannot guarantee the obligations of the Borrower and/or Holdings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or the Bridge Facility and (B) the consent of Comcast in respect of such matters cannot be obtained prior to the Closing Date or (ii) Adelphia reaches an agreement with Comcast pursuant to which such parties agree that all or substantially all of the assets of the JV Entities cannot be pledged as collateral under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or that the JV Entities cannot guarantee the obligations of the Borrower and/or Holdings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or the Bridge Facility, then, upon ten (10) business days’ prior written notice by Adelphia to the Initial Lenders and the Arranger Group certifying to such facts, the aggregate commitments of the Initial Lenders shall be reduced, effective as of a date no earlier than ten (10) business days’ following the date of such notice, by an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate commitments of the Initial Lenders outstanding at such time by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of subscribers attributable to the JV Entities as of the date of such notice (or the nearest practicable date), and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of (1) the aggregate number of subscribers attributable to the Credit Parties (excluding the JV Entities) as of the date of such notice (or the nearest practicable date) and (2) the aggregate number of subscribers attributable to the JV Entities as of the date of such

 



 

notice (or the nearest practicable date).  The reduction of the commitment of the Initial Lenders contemplated by this paragraph is referred to as the “JV Event.”(2)

 

                  Collateral and Guarantee Provisions Relating to JV Entities.  Under the terms of the Commitment Letter Amendment, from and after the effective date of the JV Event, the JV Entities will no longer be deemed to be “Credit Parties” for certain provisions of the Commitment Letter, including the collateral and guarantee provisions.  As a result, under the terms of the Commitment Letter Amendment, from and after the effective date of the JV Event, it will not be a condition to the commitments and agreements of the Initial Lenders and the Arranger Group that (i) the assets of the JV Entities be pledged as collateral for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or (ii) the JV Entities act as guarantors under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or the Bridge Facility.  In addition, if the JV Event shall occur, the Credit Parties that hold any equity interests in the JV Entities will not be required to pledge such equity interests as collateral under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities if and only if (x) such securities are required to be pledged to the secured lenders of the JV Entities or (y) subject to certain exceptions, the governing documents of the JV Entities do not permit such securities to be pledged without the consent of the other parties to such governing documents.

 

•     JV Entities As Unrestricted Subsidiaries.  Under the terms of the Commitment Letter Amendment, from and after the effective date of the JV Event, for purposes of the representations, warranties and covenants (both affirmative and negative) to be contained in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Bridge Facility, the JV Entities shall be treated as unrestricted subsidiaries of the Credit Parties and shall be subject to restrictions that are customarily and typically applicable to unrestricted subsidiaries in a secured financing transaction or in a financing transaction similar to the Bridge Facility, as the case may be, including without limitation, such restrictions as may be necessary to prohibit the JV Entities from taking or omitting to take any action that is reasonably likely to circumvent the covenants applicable to the Credit Parties.

 

                  Amendment to the Draft Plan of Reorganization.  Under the terms of the Commitment Letter Amendment, the condition providing that no provision of the Draft Plan of Reorganization can be amended, supplemented or modified in any material respect that is adverse to the Lenders without the consent of the Arranger Group or the Joint Bookrunners, as the case may be, shall be modified to provide that any amendment to the Draft Plan of Reorganization that provides for a stand-alone reorganization plan for the JV Entities or which otherwise modifies the treatment of the JV Entities contemplated by the Draft Plan of Reorganization filed with the Bankruptcy Court on February 25, 2004 shall not require the consent of the Arranger Group or the Joint Bookrunners, as the case may be, provided that such amendment (A) is required by the occurrence of the JV Event, (B) will not materially and adversely affect the balance sheet or capital structure of or otherwise impose any material obligations or material restrictions upon the Credit Parties (which term does not include the JV Entities), except for any material obligations or material restrictions imposed on the Credit Parties under the terms of the governing documents of such JV Entities, provided such material obligations or material restrictions are consistent in all material respects with the obligations and restrictions set forth in the governing documents of the JV Entities as of the date hereof, and (C) will not change the percentage of the equity of the JV Entities owned by the Credit Parties.

 


(2)                                  In addition, note that certain other amendments to the Commitment Letter were made with respect to the interplay between the Reduction Event, Company Election and JV Event provisions.  For example, the Commitment Letter previously provided that in the event the Reduction Event were to occur, the Initial Lenders could not reduce their aggregate commitment below $2 billion.  Under the terms of the Commitment Letter Amendment, however, in the event the JV Event occurs prior to the occurrence of the Reduction Event, then upon the occurrence of the Reduction Event, the Initial Lenders can reduce their commitment to an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Residual Percentage (as defined in the Commitment Letter Amendment) by (ii) $2 billion.

 



 

B.                                    FEE LETTER AMENDMENT.

 

                  Commitment Fees.  Under the terms of Amendment No. 3 of Amended and Restated Fee Letter (the “Fee Letter Amendment”), and consistent with the treatment of a Reduction Event and the Company Election, from and after the effective date of the JV Event, the commitment fees in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Bridge Facility will accrue on the reduced aggregate commitments of the Initial Lenders, after giving effect to the reduction of such aggregate commitments by virtue of the JV Event.

 

                  Rollover Fee. The Fee Letter Amendment modifies the calculation of the amount of the Rollover Fee that would be payable by Adelphia in the event the Debtors Entities were to make the Company Election following the occurrence of the JV Event.  Specifically, under the terms of the Fee Letter Amendment, from and after the effective date of the JV Event, the Rollover Fee would be calculated by taking into account the reduced commitments of the Initial Lenders as a result of the JV Event.
