TECHNICOLOR : Successful repricing of the senior debt maturing 2020
28 Abril 2014 - 11:07AM
Technicolor (Euronext Paris: TCH; OTCQX: TCLRY) announces today
that it has fixed the terms and conditions of its repricing
transaction launched in mid-April.
Technicolor has successfully repriced
$884 million and €321 million of senior secured term
loans issued by Tech Finance & Co. S.C.A. and maturing in 2020
at new pricing of Libor / Euribor + 450bps, subject to a 1% Libor /
Euribor floor. This represents a significant reduction from the
previous pricing of Libor / Euribor + 600bps / 625bps, subject to a
1.25% Libor / Euribor floor. The average weighted interest rate is
reduced to 5.50% from 7.33%.
In addition, in order to pursue further
deleveraging, Technicolor has decided to prepay €50 million of
this debt. The repricing and the prepayment will close on April
30.
Following this transaction and the reimbursement
at the end of May 2014 of the group's remaining legacy debt due
2016/2017, Technicolor's total pro-forma senior gross nominal debt
will be approximately €900 million, a reduction of
approximately €170 million versus December 31, 2013. The
reduced interest rate and prepayments will result in annual cash
interest savings of approximately €26 million.
The transaction has also allowed the group to
diversify its lender base and to eliminate hard call
protection.
