AMC Networks Announces Early Results of Cash Tender Offers for Senior Notes due 2024 and 2025

NEW YORK, March 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AMC Networks Inc. (Nasdaq: AMCX) (the “Company”) announced the early results, as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on March 3, 2023 (the “Early Tender Date” or “Withdrawal Date,” as applicable) of its previously announced cash tender offers (together, the “Offers” and each, individually, an “Offer”) to purchase up to $800,000,000 aggregate principal amount (as such amount may be increased by the Company, the “Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount”) of its outstanding 5.00% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) and 4.75% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes” and, together with the 2024 Notes, the “Notes”).

The terms and conditions of the Offers are described in an Offer to Purchase, dated February 17, 2023 (the “Offer to Purchase”), which was previously distributed to holders of the Notes. As set forth in the Offer to Purchase, the Company reserves the right to (i) waive any and all conditions to each Offer as permitted by law, (ii) extend or terminate each Offer or (iii) otherwise amend each Offer.

The following table summarizes the material terms of the Offers and the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date. The Company reserves the right, but is under no obligation, to increase the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount and/or the Tender Cap at any time, in each case without extending the Early Tender Date, the Withdrawal Date or the Expiration Date (as defined below) for the Offers or otherwise reinstating withdrawal or revocation rights of Holders (as defined below), subject to applicable law, which could result in the Company purchasing a greater aggregate principal amount of Notes in the Offers. There can be no assurance that the Company will exercise its right to increase the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount or the Tender Cap. If the Company does increase the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount and/or the Tender Cap, it does not expect to extend the Withdrawal Date, subject to applicable law.

The consummation of the Offers is subject to, and conditioned upon, the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including the Company having obtained a new senior secured term loan credit facility on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Company in an amount sufficient, together with cash on hand, to fund the purchase of the Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase.

The Offers will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 20, 2023, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Company (the “Expiration Date”).

Subject to all conditions to the Offers having been either satisfied or waived, the Company will purchase Notes that have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and on or prior to the Expiration Date, subject to the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount and the Tender Cap. Registered holders (each, a “Holder” and, collectively, the “Holders”) of all Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers will receive accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes from the last date on which interest has been paid to, but excluding, the settlement date for the Offers.
