Boulder, Colo. – May 1, 2015 – Zayo Group, LLC (“Zayo”), a subsidiary of Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:ZAYO) and international provider of Bandwidth Infrastructure services, announced today the pricing of its offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”) and the finalizing of the amendment of its Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). The note offering and the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are expected to close on or about May 6, 2015, subject to the satisfaction of various customary closing conditions.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement will reduce Zayo’s interest expense, extend the maturity of the term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) to 2021, align certain covenants with Zayo’s recently issued 6.00% Senior Notes due 2023, and add additional covenant flexibility.
Zayo intends to use the net proceeds from the 2025 Senior Notes offering to repay approximately $345 million of Term Loan borrowings.
The 2025 Senior Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and are being offered and sold in the United States only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.
