On April 29, 2021, CSC Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Issuer”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Altice USA, Inc., successfully priced an offering (the “Offering”) of (i) $1,500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior guaranteed notes due 2031 (the “Senior Guaranteed Notes”) and (ii) $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2031 (the “Senior Notes” and together with the Senior Guaranteed Notes, the “Notes”).
The Senior Guaranteed Notes will bear interest at a rate of 4.500% and will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2021. The Senior Notes will bear interest at a rate of 5.000% and will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2021. Each of the Senior Guaranteed Notes and the Senior Notes will mature on November 15, 2031. The Issuer and each of its subsidiaries that will guarantee the Senior Guaranteed Notes entered into a purchase agreement on April 29, 2021 with the representative of the initial purchasers named therein, related to the issuance and sale of the Notes.
The proceeds from this Offering, together with cash on balance sheet, are expected to be used to (i) redeem in full the Issuer’s outstanding $1,498.8 million aggregate outstanding principal amount of 5.500% Senior Guaranteed Notes due 2026, (ii) repay $500.0 million outstanding borrowings drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility, and (iii) in each case, pay the fees, costs and expenses associated with these transactions.
The Offering for the Notes is expected to close on or about May 13, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions. The Notes are being sold in a private placement only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A and to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to prevailing market and other conditions.
