ENGLEWOOD, CO — (April 1, 2014) - WideOpenWest Finance, LLC (“WOW!” or the “Company”), today announced that it has closed on the issuance of $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of additional 10.250% Senior Notes, due 2019, (the “additional notes”) in a private offering conducted pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

The additional notes have been issued under the indenture governing the Company’s $725.0 million Senior Notes, due 2019, issued on July 17, 2012.  The additional notes will be treated as a single series with the existing notes under identical terms, except that the additional notes will be subject to registration rights for public registration in the same manner the existing notes were registered.  The Company expects to use the net proceeds of the offering to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility, for general corporate purposes, and to pay certain fees and expenses relating to the offering.
