Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

As previously announced, on March 14, 2015, Scripps Networks Interactive, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement by and among ITI Media Group Limited, a Cypriot limited liability company, Groupe Canal+ S.A., a French company, and Southbank Media Ltd., an English company and our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, pursuant to which the Company will acquire (the “Acquisition Agreement”) all of the outstanding shares of N-Vision B.V., a Dutch limited liability company (“N-Vision”). In furtherance of the Acquisition Agreement, the Company announced its intention to issue unsecured senior debt to finance the transaction.

On June 2, 2015, Scripps Networks Interactive, Inc. (the “Company”) completed the sale (the “Offering”) of its $600,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 2.800% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”), $400,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 3.500% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) and $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 3.950% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes” and together with the 2020 and 2022 Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes were issued in the form filed as Exhibits 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 hereto and are governed by the terms of an Indenture, dated as of December 1, 2011 (the “Base Indenture”), entered into with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a Third Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of June 2, 2015, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Third Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). The Notes will be unsecured senior obligations of the Company and will rank equally in right of payment with the Company’s existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

The Company will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year and on the maturity date of the Notes, beginning on December 15, 2015. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. The 2020 Notes will mature on June 15, 2020, the 2022 Notes will mature on June 15, 2022 and the 2025 Notes will mature on June 15, 2025.

The Company may, at its option, redeem the 2020 Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to May 15, 2020 (the date that is one month prior to the maturity date of the 2020 Notes), the 2022 Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to April 15, 2022 (the date that is two months prior to the maturity date of the 2022 Notes) and the 2025 Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to March 15, 2025 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date of the 2025 Notes) at a redemption price equal to the greater of: (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined in the Third Supplemental Indenture) plus 20 basis points with respect to the 2020 Notes, and 25 basis points with respect to the 2022 Notes, and 30 bases points in the case of the 2025 Notes, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to the redemption date.

If the 2020 Notes are redeemed on or after May 15, 2020 (the date that is one month prior to the maturity date of the 2020 Notes), the 2022 Notes are redeemed on or after April 15, 2022 (the date that is two months prior to their maturity date, or the 2025 Notes are redeemed on or after March 15, 2025 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date of the 2025 Notes), such Notes will be redeemed at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

If a change of control triggering event (as described more fully in the Third Supplemental Indenture) occurs, the Company will be required to offer to purchase the Notes from the holders at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date.

The 2020 Notes, the 2022 Notes and the 2025 Notes contain a Special Mandatory Redemption clause (the “Special Mandatory Redemption”). Upon the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption Trigger, as defined below, the Company will be required to redeem the Notes at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, which is the earlier of January 30, 2016 if the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement have not been consummated by December 31, 2015 or the 30^th day following the termination of the Acquisition Agreement. A Special Mandatory Redemption Trigger (“Special Mandatory Redemption Trigger”) means the earlier of December 31, 2015 if the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement have not been consummated by such date or the termination of the Acquisition Agreement.

The Indenture contains customary events of default. If an event of default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may declare the principal of all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

The foregoing description of the Third Supplemental Indenture (including the form of the Notes) is qualified in its entirety by the terms of such agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference and attached as Exhibit 4.1 hereto.
