On January 18, 2024, CSC Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Issuer”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Altice USA, Inc., successfully priced an offering (the “Offering”) of $2,050.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior guaranteed notes due 2029 (the “Notes”).
The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 11.750% and will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on January 31 and July 31 of each year, beginning on July 31, 2024. The Notes will mature on January 31, 2029. The Issuer and each of its subsidiaries that will guarantee the Notes entered into a purchase agreement on January 18, 2024, with the representative of the initial purchasers named therein, related to the issuance and sale of the Notes.
The proceeds of the Offering will be used, together with cash on the balance sheet, to (i) refinance in full the Issuer’s outstanding term loans maturing in 2025, (ii) refinance in full the Issuer’s outstanding term loans maturing in 2026 and (iii) pay the fees, costs and expenses associated with these transactions.
Following the issue date of the Notes, the Issuer expects to draw $750.0 million under its revolving credit facility, the proceeds of which, together with cash on the balance sheet, will be used to refinance in full the Issuer’s $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.250% Senior Notes due 2024 and 5.250% Series B Senior Notes due 2024.
The Offering for the Notes is expected to close on or about January 25, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions. The Notes are being sold in a private placement only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A and to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to prevailing market and other conditions.
