(PRESS RELEASE) BUCHAREST, Romania, 6-Feb-2019 — /EuropaWire/ — Digi Communications N.V. (The Company) would like to inform the market and its investors that, on 6 February 2019, it decided to offer (the “Offering”) additional €125,000,000 5.0% senior secured notes due 2023 (the “Additional Notes”), to be consolidated and treated as a single class with the existing €350,000,000 5.0% senior secured notes due 2023 (the “Original Notes”, and, together with the Additional Notes, the “Notes”) issued by the Company under the Indenture originally dated October 26, 2016 and supplemented on June 8, 2017 and June 28, 2018 (the “Indenture”), which are currently listed on the official list (the “Official List”) and trading on the regulated market (the “Main Securities Market”) of the Irish Stock Exchange plc (trading as Euronext Dublin).
The Additional Notes will be offered solely to (1) “qualified institutional buyers” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or (2) Non-U.S. persons purchasing the Additional Notes outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act. The Additional Notes will not be offered to any person or in any jurisdiction if this would be unlawful or would require any approval.
Citigroup Global Markets Ltd. will act as the Sole Global Coordinator and Physical Bookrunner in relation to the Offering.
The Additional Notes will be consolidated and treated as a single class with the Original Notes. The minimum denomination of the Additional Notes will be, as for the Original Notes, €100,000. The Additional Notes will have identical terms and conditions in all respects as the Original Notes, including, without limitation, with respect to payments of interest, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. The Additional Notes will be fully fungible with the Original Notes, subject to certain temporary restrictions designed to ensure compliance with applicable provisions of the US law.
The Additional Notes will be, as the Original Notes, guaranteed (each, a “Guarantee”) on a senior basis by the Company’s main subsidiaries in Romania and Hungary – RCS & RDS S.A. (“RCS&RDS”), DIGI Távközlési és Szolgáltató Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság (“DIGI Hungary”) and Invitel Távközlési Zrt (“Invitel”) (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under the Notes and the Guarantees thereof are, or will be, as applicable, secured by first-ranking (and, in The Netherlands, both first-ranking and second-ranking) (subject to any permitted collateral liens) security interests over (i) subject to certain exclusions, all present and future movable assets of RCS&RDS, including bank accounts, trade receivables, intragroup receivables, insurance receivables, inventories, movable tangible property (including installation, networks, machinery, equipment, vehicles, furniture, and other similar assets), intellectual property rights, insurance and proceeds related to any of the foregoing; (ii) all shares of certain of the material subsidiaries of RCS&RDS held by RCS&RDS; (iii) certain assets of the Company, including all shares it holds in RCS&RDS, certain bank accounts and rights under the proceeds loan; and (iv) all shares held by DIGI Hungary in Invitel (collectively, the “Collateral”). The Collateral and the Guarantees are subject to limitations under the laws of the relevant jurisdictions and will be released in certain circumstances.
Application will be made to the Irish Stock Exchange plc (trading as Euronext Dublin) for the Additional Notes to be admitted to the Official List and trading on Main Securities Market.
The gross proceeds of the Offering will be used: (i) to prepay certain principal amounts outstanding under the 2016 Senior Facilities Agreement; (ii) to prepay certain principal amounts outstanding under the 2018 Senior Facilities Agreement; (iii) to pay costs, expenses and fees in relation to the Offering (including the initial purchaser’s fees, legal and accounting fees and other transaction costs); and (iv) for general corporate purposes.
In connection with the Offering of the Additional Notes, Citigroup Global Markets Ltd. or one or more of its affiliates or persons acting on its behalf (as the Stabilization Manager) may overallot the Additional Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Additional Notes at the level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance that the Stabilization Manager will undertake stabilization action. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the terms of the Offering of the Additional Notes is made and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no later than the 30 days after the Additional Notes issue date, or no later than 60 days after the date of the allotment of the Additional Notes, whichever is earlier.
