The Refinancing Transactions
On September 25, 2026, McGraw Hill, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release to announce that McGraw-Hill Education, Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Issuer”) intends, subject to market conditions, to offer $500 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2033 (the “Notes”) in a private offering (the “Offering”). The Notes will be guaranteed by the Issuer’s parent, Mav Intermediate Holding II Corporation, and certain of the Issuer’s direct and indirect subsidiaries.
In connection with the Offering, the Issuer intends to (i) enter into an amendment to its senior secured cash flow credit agreement, to, among other things, extend the maturity of the revolving credit facility provided thereunder to 2031, increase the aggregate principal amount of available commitments under such revolving credit facility to $150 million and refinance the existing term loan facility (the “Existing Term Loan”) provided thereunder with a new first lien senior secured term loan B facility with a maturity of 2033 and an aggregate principal amount of $830 million (the “A&E Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) enter into an amendment to its senior secured ABL revolving credit agreement to, among other things, extend its maturity to 2031 (collectively, the “Credit Facilities Refinancing” and, together with the Offering, the “Refinancing Transactions”).
The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering, together with borrowings under the A&E Term Loan Facility, to (i) redeem in full the Issuer’s outstanding 5.750% Secured Notes due 2028 (the “2022 Senior Secured Notes”) and (ii) refinance the Existing Term Loan.
A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
In addition, the Company expects to voluntarily prepay $50 million under the Existing Term Loan on or prior to September 30, 2026.
This Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the Notes, the related guarantees or any other security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of any securities in any state or jurisdiction in which, or to any persons to whom, such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offer, or solicitation to buy, if at all, will be made only by means of a confidential offering memorandum. This Current Report does not constitute a notice of repayment of any outstanding indebtedness of the Company.
The information contained in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report and in Exhibit 99.1 hereto is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated into any registration statement or other filing under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference to such filing.
