The Additional Facility AX Accession Agreement and the Additional Facility AY Accession Agreement provide that the lenders under Facility AX and Facility AY (as applicable) consent to the amendments to the covenants and other provisions of the Credit Agreement and the Finance Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement) outlined in the Additional Facility AX
Accession Agreement and the Additional Facility AY Accession Agreement (as applicable) (including in the schedules thereto). Once the consent of the requisite lenders is obtained under the Credit Agreement, such amendments may be implemented at the election of UPC Broadband.
The foregoing descriptions of Facility AX and Facility AY and the transactions contemplated thereby are not complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the Additional Facility AX Accession Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, and the Additional Facility AY Accession Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2.
New Facility AZ
On April 21, 2021, the proceeds of the Notes were used by the Issuer to finance a $1,250.0 million term loan ("
Facility AZ
") to UPC Financing by way of an additional facility subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement.
On April 21, 2021, the Issuer as additional facility AZ lender and UPC Financing as borrower, among others, entered into an additional facility accession agreement pursuant to the Credit Agreement in respect of Facility AZ (the "
Additional Facility AZ Accession Agreement
").
The Additional Facility AZ Accession Agreement provides for the payment of certain premiums in connection with certain voluntary and mandatory prepayments of Facility AZ that will enable the Issuer to pay the premiums payable in respect of corresponding redemptions of the Notes.
The obligations of UPC Financing under Facility AZ will be guaranteed on a senior basis by the guarantors under the Credit Agreement and will be secured by the collateral securing the obligations of the various obligors under the Credit Agreement.
The gross proceeds of Facility AZ will be used for general corporate purposes including to finance the repayment of existing indebtedness of the UPC group.
The Notes
Subject to a special optional redemption in connection with a UPC exchange transaction and except as described below, the Notes are non-callable until July 15, 2026. At any time prior to July 15, 2026, the Issuer may redeem some or all of the Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, to (but excluding) the redemption date and a "make-whole" redemption premium specified in the Notes.
On or after July 15, 2026, the Issuer may redeem all, or from time to time a part, of the Notes at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, to (but excluding) the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on July 15 of the years set forth below:
Year
Redemption Price
2026
102.438%
2027
101.219%
2028
100.609%
2029 and thereafter
100.000%
In addition, at any time prior to July 15, 2026, the Issuer may redeem up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes with the net proceeds of one or more specified equity offerings at a redemption price of 104.875% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, to (but excluding) the date of redemption. Furthermore, prior to July 15, 2026, during each 12-month period commencing on the Issue Date, the Issuer may redeem up to 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, to (but excluding) the date of redemption. In the event of certain events defined as constituting a change of control, the Issuer may be required to redeem the entire aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, to (but excluding) the date of redemption.
Pursuant to the Additional Facility AZ Accession Agreement, the call provisions, maturity and the applicable interest rate for Facility AZ are the same as those of the Notes.
The Issuer is a special purpose financing company incorporated for the purpose of issuing the Notes and incurring certain other indebtedness in the future and will depend upon payments under Facility AZ and certain other related agreements (the "
Related Agreements
") to make payments under the Notes. The Issuer will apply all payments it receives under Facility AZ and the applicable Related Agreements, including in respect of principal, premiums, interest and additional amounts, if any, to make corresponding payments under the Notes.
The Notes are senior and limited recourse obligations of the Issuer, will rank
pari passu
in right of payment with any future indebtedness of the Issuer that is not subordinated to the Notes and will be effectively subordinated to any future indebtedness of the Issuer that is secured by liens senior to the liens securing the Notes, or secured by property and assets that do not secure the Notes, to the extent of the value of the property and assets securing such indebtedness.
The Notes are secured by a first-ranking security interest in all of the Issuer's rights, title and interests in, inter alia, Facility AZ, the Related Agreements and sums of money held from time to time in all bank accounts of the Issuer, subject to certain specified exceptions.
The Additional Facility AZ Accession Agreement provides that the Issuer, as lender under Facility AZ, consents to the amendments to the covenants and other provisions of the Credit Agreement and the Finance Documents outlined in the Additional Facility AZ Accession Agreement (including in the schedules thereto). Once the consent of the requisite lenders is obtained under the Credit Agreement, such amendments may be implemented at the election of UPC Broadband.
The foregoing description of the Additional Facility AZ Accession Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are not complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the Additional Facility AZ Accession Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.3.
This Form 8-K is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of the Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
