Exhibit 99.1

 

SFX Entertainment, Inc. Announces Extension of Consent Solicitation and Modification of Proposed Amendments Relating to Its 9.625% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes Due 2019

 

NEW YORK — September 4, 2014 — SFX Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:SFXE) (“SFX”) announced today that it has further extended the expiration date of its previously announced consent solicitation (the “Solicitation”) to a proposed amendment (the “Proposed Amendment”) to the indenture (the “Indenture”) governing its outstanding 9.625% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the “Securities”).  The Solicitation will now expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 9, 2014, unless further extended (as extended, the “Expiration Time”).

 

SFX also announced that it has increased the amount it will pay to each holder of the Securities (the “Holders”) who delivers a valid consent from $2.50 per $1,000 to $10.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities for which such Holder has validly delivered (and not validly revoked) its consent prior to the Expiration Time (the “Consent Payment”).

 

SFX further announced it has modified the Solicitation such that SFX is no longer seeking to amend the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” to include in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA recoupments SFX expects to receive from Management Vennootschap BVBA.  SFX continues to seek consent to amend the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” to include in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA incremental contributions to Consolidated EBITDA from certain marketing agreements entered into after the period for which Consolidated EBITDA is being calculated and before the relevant date of determination.

 

Except as provided herein, all other terms, provisions and conditions of the Solicitation remain unchanged. The full terms and conditions of the Solicitation are described in SFX’s consent solicitation statement (the “Statement”) and related consent form, each dated August 19, 2014.

 

SFX’s obligation to pay the Consent Payment is conditioned upon, among other things, receipt of consents from the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities outstanding as of the record date. SFX will pay the Consent Payment promptly following the Expiration Time, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions in the Statement. Holders of Securities who do not deliver their consent (or validly revoke their consent) will not receive the Consent Payment, even though the Proposed Amendment, if approved, will bind all holders of the Securities and their transferees. Consents may be revoked at any time prior to the time at which the Proposed Amendment becomes effective.

 

This press release does not constitute a solicitation of consents. Any solicitation of consents will be made pursuant to the terms of the Statement. No solicitation is being made in any jurisdiction in which such a solicitation would be unlawful.

 

SFX has engaged Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays”) to act as solicitation agent for the Solicitation and MacKenzie Partners, Inc. to act as tabulation and information agent for the Solicitation. Persons with questions regarding the Solicitation should contact Barclays at (800) 438-3242 or (212) 528-7581. Requests for documents may be directed to MacKenzie Partners, Inc. at (800) 322-2885 or (212) 929-5500.
