NEW YORK, Jan. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Magnite (NASDAQ: MGNI), the world’s largest independent sell-side advertising company, today announced its intention to refinance its outstanding senior secured credit facilities.
The Company intends to replace its existing credit facilities, consisting of a $360.0 million term loan facility and a $65.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Existing Credit Facilities”), with a new senior secured term loan facility with an expected seven-year maturity (with no springing maturity relating to the Company’s Convertible Notes due March 2026), and a new senior secured revolving credit facility with an expected five-year maturity (together, the “New Credit Facilities”). The Company expects to obtain a new term loan similar in size to the original term loan facility and to increase the size of the revolving credit facility.
The net proceeds of the New Credit Facilities will be used to repay the Existing Credit Facilities in full and for fees and expenses in connection therewith, and for general corporate purposes and working capital of the Company and its subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2023, the outstanding principal amount of the Existing Term Loan B Facility was $351.0 million and the Company had $0 of outstanding borrowings under its Existing Revolving Credit Facility. The consummation of the refinancing and the entry into the New Credit Facilities is subject to market and other conditions and there can be no assurances that the proposed refinancing will be completed.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company repurchased $70.0 million of the Convertible Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $60.7 million pursuant to its previously announced $100 million Repurchase Plan. As of December 31, 2023, the principal amount of Convertible Notes outstanding was approximately $205.1 million.
