Item 8.01 Other Events.
On August 24, 2016, American Media, Inc. (the “Company”) refinanced its outstanding indebtedness and discharged its obligations (the "Refinancing") under (i) the Indenture, dated as of December 1, 2010 (as supplemented through August 24, 2016, the "First Lien Indenture"), by and among the Company (as successor-in-interest to AMO Escrow Corporation), the guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association (as successor by merger to Wilmington Trust FSB), as trustee and collateral agent, with respect to the Company's 11½% First Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2017, and (ii) the Indenture, dated as of January 20, 2015 (as supplemented through August 24, 2016, the "Second Lien Indenture" and, together with the First Lien Indenture, the "Indentures"), by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, with respect to the Company's 7.0% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2020.
Prior to the Refinancing, the Company has been filing reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") as a "voluntary filer" in satisfaction of the disclosure obligations under the Indentures. As a result of the Refinancing, the Company no longer has any reporting obligations under its debt facilities and will therefore cease filing reports under the Exchange Act.
