Item 1.01                                           Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On May 21, 2015, WideOpenWest Finance, LLC (the “Company”) entered into a third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement, dated as of July 17, 2012, as amended on April 1, 2013 and as further amended on November 27, 2013 (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company and the other parties thereto. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

 

The Third Amendment, among other provisions, provides for a refinancing of the Credit Agreement, resulting in $1,411.4 million in new Term B Loans, which bear interest, at the Company’s option, at LIBOR plus 3.50% or ABR plus 2.50%.  The new Term B Loans replace the $1,560.4 million in outstanding Term B Loans which were previously priced, at the Company’s option, at LIBOR plus 3.75% or ABR plus 2.75%.  The proceeds from the refinancing were used to pay outstanding principal under the Company’s current Term B Loans.  In connection with the Third Amendment, the Company made a prepayment totaling $150.0 million, applied ratably, to the Company’s outstanding Term B Loans and outstanding Term B-1 Loans.  Proceeds from the sale of the Company’s South Dakota Systems were used in connection with the prepayment.  In addition, the Third Amendment provides for the ability to refinance the Company’s Senior Subordinated Notes with proceeds from the issuance of Senior Notes.

 

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC acted as Lead Arranger and Credit Suisse AG served as Administrative Agent.

 

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Third Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
