Univision Communications Inc. Announces Offering of Senior Secured Notes

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Univision Communications Inc. (the “Company”), the leading Spanish-language content and media company serving Hispanic America, today announced its intention to offer $1.05 billion aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2029 (the “Notes”), subject to market conditions. The Notes will be general senior secured obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed by all of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that currently guarantee the obligations under the Company’s existing senior secured credit facilities, existing senior secured notes and its expected new term loan facility.

The offering is part of the financing for the proposed business combination (the “ContentCo Business Combination”) of the media content business (“ContentCo”) of Grupo Televisa, S.A.B. (“Televisa”) with the Company’s business, pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, dated as of April 13, 2021 (the “Transaction Agreement”), between Televisa and Univision Holdings, Inc.

Upon consummation of the offering, (i) the net proceeds of the offering will be deposited into an escrow account of the Company and (ii) the Company will deposit (or cause to be deposited) into such escrow account an amount of cash that, when taken together with the net proceeds of this offering, would be sufficient to fund a special mandatory redemption of the Notes on the applicable escrow outside date. Upon the consummation of the ContentCo Business Combination and the satisfaction of the escrow release conditions, the escrowed funds will be released and the Company will use such funds, together with certain equity contributions and the proceeds from the borrowings under the Company’s expected new term loan facility, to finance the ContentCo Business Combination and to pay certain related transaction fees and expenses.

If the ContentCo Business Combination is not consummated on or before the applicable escrow outside date or prior to such date the Transaction Agreement is terminated, the Company will be required to redeem all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the issue price of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption, and, in such event, the escrowed property will be applied to fund such redemption price.

The Notes and the related subsidiary guarantees will be offered to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and the related subsidiary guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

This release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
