Gray Television Announces Pricing of $365 Million
of Senior Secured Second Lien Notes Due 2015
ATLANTA, April 21, 2010 — Gray Television, Inc. (“Gray” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GTN) announced today that it has priced its previously announced offering of $365 million aggregate principal amount of 101/2% senior secured second lien notes due 2015. The sale of the notes is expected to be completed on April 29, 2010, subject to customary closing conditions.
The notes were priced at 98.085% of par. The notes will be secured on a second priority basis, subject to certain exceptions and certain permitted liens, by the Company’s and the guarantors’ assets that secure the Company’s senior credit facility on a first priority basis. The Company’s existing, and certain future, subsidiaries will guarantee the notes on a senior secured basis.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of Notes to (i) repay a portion of its term loans outstanding, (ii) repurchase a portion of the outstanding shares of its Series D perpetual preferred stock and (iii) pay related fees and expenses, including advisory fees.
The Notes and the related guarantees have not been, and will not be, registered under the Act or the securities laws of any other place and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption therefrom. The Notes will be offered only to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and to persons outside the United States under Regulation S.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of any Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. This notice is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Act.
