Freescale Semiconductor Holdings I, Ltd., (NYSE: FSL) (the “Company”) announced today that Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (“Freescale”), its wholly owned indirect subsidiary, is seeking commitments for a new senior secured term loan facility under its existing senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500,000,000. The proceeds from the new term loans are intended to be used to redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire a portion of Freescale’s senior subordinated notes due 2016 and, at Freescale’s option, a portion of its senior notes due 2014, and to pay related redemption premiums, fees and expenses. Freescale may pay all or a portion of the premiums, fees and expenses with cash on hand. The new term loan facility would be effected as amendments to Freescale’s existing senior secured credit facilities, and the amendments are subject to lender consent and other customary conditions. There can be no assurance that Freescale will be successful in obtaining lender consent or the new term loan facility on reasonably acceptable terms, or at all.
The foregoing is qualified by reference to the press release that is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.
