On February 24, 2017, LPL Financial Holdings Inc. issued a press release announcing that its wholly owned subsidiary, LPL Holdings, Inc. (“LPL Holdings”), plans to refinance its existing capital structure in a leverage-neutral transaction. LPL Holdings intends to amend the credit agreement governing its senior secured credit facilities, pursuant to which it expects to borrow a new term B loan in an original aggregate principal amount of $1,700 million, increase the size of its revolving credit facility to $500 million, raise $500 million in gross proceeds through an offering of senior notes, and make certain other changes. LPL Holdings intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the notes and the new term B loan to repay LPL Holdings’ existing senior secured credit facilities and to pay accrued interest and related fees and expenses, with any excess net proceeds available for general corporate purposes. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
