AMC Networks increases tender offer for 2029 notes to $600 million

NEW YORK - AMC Networks Inc. (NASDAQ:AMCX), currently trading below its InvestingPro Fair Value with a market capitalization of $276 million, announced Wednesday it has increased the maximum amount of its cash tender offer for outstanding 4.25% Senior Notes due 2029 from $450 million to $600 million.

The company reported that $614.4 million in aggregate principal amount of notes were tendered by the July 1 early tender deadline. Due to the offer being oversubscribed, AMC Networks will accept tendered notes subject to a 97.7% proration factor. The debt management initiative comes as the company maintains a solid current ratio of 2.26, with InvestingPro data showing liquid assets exceeding short-term obligations.

Holders of accepted notes will receive $815 per $1,000 principal amount, which includes an early tender premium of $50 per $1,000. Payment for accepted notes is expected on July 3, 2025.

Because the tender offer was oversubscribed at the early tender deadline, AMC Networks does not expect to accept any notes tendered after this date, despite the offer officially remaining open until July 17.

The company stated that the tender offer is being funded through a combination of proceeds from its concurrent offering of $400 million in senior secured notes due 2032 and cash on hand.

The withdrawal deadline for the tender offer expired on July 1, meaning tendered notes may no longer be withdrawn except in limited circumstances required by law.

BofA Securities is serving as lead dealer manager for the tender offer, with J.P. Morgan acting as co-dealer manager.
