LOUISVILLE, Colo.– December 06, 2011– Zayo Group announces it has completed its latest round of fund raising totaling $315 million in a five-year term loan. The loan was marketed by RBC Capital Markets, Barclays Capital and SunTrust and allocated to 25 institutional investors. Strong demand for this debt instrument led to upsizing the amount from an initially marketed $295M.
“Zayo welcomes our new investors, as well as current investors who have made a further commitment to supporting our business,” states Ken desGarennes, CFO of Zayo Group. “We are pleased with the response we received to this debt offering and the continued ability to access capital in support of our business growth.”
The funds will be used to complete the recently announced $345M acquisition of 360 networks. The remainder of the purchase price and transaction expenses will be funded with cash on hand.
Following the 360networks acquisition, Zayo’s pro-forma combined indebtedness as of September 30, 2011 is approximately $710.5 million, versus an estimated pro forma Adjusted EBITDA of $197.0 million, for leverage of 3.6x, according to a filing the Company made with the SEC on November 15, 2011.
