EXHIBIT INDEX
| Exhibit |
Description | |
| 99.1 | Press Release, dated May 17, 2017, entitled “Intelsat Announces Amended Debt Exchange Offers” | |
(ii) new 7.25% Mandatorily Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2020 to be issued by Intelsat Jackson (the “Jax 2020 Exchange Notes”) for any and all of its outstanding 7.25% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Jax 2020 Existing Notes”); and
(iii) new 7.50% Mandatorily Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2021 to be issued by Intelsat Jackson (the “Jax 2021 Exchange Notes” and, together with the Jax 2019 Exchange Notes and Jax Exchange 2020 Notes, the “Jax Exchange Notes”) for any and all of its outstanding 7.50% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Jax 2021 Existing Notes” and, together with the Jax 2019 Existing Notes and Jax Existing 2020 Notes, the “Jax Existing Notes”).
In connection with the Amended Exchange Offers, Intelsat Jackson has terminated its previously announced exchange offer and consent solicitation with respect to its outstanding 5.50% Senior Notes due 2023. No exchange offer for such notes is included in the Amended Exchange Offers.
ICF. ICF is offering to exchange (the “ICF Amended Exchange Offer”) new 12.50% Mandatorily Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2022 to be issued by ICF (the “ICF Exchange Notes”) for any and all of its outstanding 12.50% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “ICF Existing Notes”).
Intelsat Luxembourg. Intelsat Luxembourg is offering to exchange (the “Lux Amended Exchange Offers”):
(i) new 7.75% Mandatorily Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2021 to be issued by Intelsat Luxembourg (the “Lux 2021 Exchange Notes”) for any and all of its outstanding 7.75% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Lux 2021 Existing Notes”); and
(ii) new 8.125% Mandatorily Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2023 to be issued by Intelsat Luxembourg (the “Lux 2023 Exchange Notes” and, together with the Lux 2021 Exchange Notes, the “Lux Exchange Notes”; collectively, with the Jax Exchange Notes and ICF Exchange Notes, the “Exchange Notes”) for any and all of its outstanding 8.125% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Lux 2023 Existing Notes” and, together with the Lux 2021 Existing Notes, the “Lux Existing Notes”).
Consent Solicitations
In connection with the Amended Exchange Offers, the Issuers are continuing to solicit consents (the “Consent Solicitations”) to amend the indentures governing the Jax Existing Notes, the ICF Existing Notes, and the Lux Existing Notes (collectively, the “Existing Notes”, and the indentures governing the Existing Notes, collectively, the “Existing Indentures”). The proposed amendments to each Existing Indenture require the consent of holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of notes which are outstanding under such Existing Indenture. The proposed amendments would eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants under the Existing Indentures, modify or eliminate certain other provisions of the Existing Indentures, and waive certain defaults and events of defaults, if any, under the Existing Indentures.
Jax Exchange Notes
Each of the Jax Amended Exchange Offers provides for the issuance of $1,000 principal amount of the applicable series of Jax Exchange Notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of the applicable series of Jax Existing Notes tendered and accepted.
Prior to the Combination Date, the Jax Exchange Notes will have substantially identical terms to the corresponding series of the Jax Existing Notes for which they are exchanged, including the same guarantors, interest rates, and interest payment and maturity dates, and substantially identical covenants, except that none of the Jax Exchange Notes will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and holders of the Jax Exchange Notes will not have any registration rights. The Jax Exchange Notes will accrue interest from the last interest payment date with respect to the corresponding series of Jax Existing Notes for which they are exchanged. If the Combination does not occur, the Jax Exchange Notes will retain their respective original principal amounts and these same terms.
Following the Combination Date and without any action by any holder of the Jax Exchange Notes: (a) each series of the Jax Exchange Notes will (i) as to a portion of the principal amount thereof, be mandatorily settled in full by delivery of new unsecured 7.000% 5-Year Senior Notes to be issued by Intelsat Jackson (the “Final Jax 5-Year Notes”), new unsecured 7.125% 6-Year Senior Notes to be issued by Intelsat Jackson (the “Final Jax 6-Year Notes”), and/or new unsecured 7.250% 7-Year Senior Notes to be issued by Intelsat Jackson (the “Final Jax 7-Year Notes” and, together with the Final Jax 5-Year Notes and Final Jax 6-Year Notes, the “Final Jax Notes”) on the terms set forth below; and (ii) as to the remaining portion of the principal amount thereof, become due and payable in cash; and (b) each series of the Jax Exchange Notes will, upon receipt of the Final Jax Consideration (as defined below) by the holders, be cancelled and will cease to be outstanding (collectively, the “Mandatory Jax Exchanges”). In addition, accrued but unpaid interest on the Jax Exchange Notes to but excluding the Combination Date will be paid upon consummation of the Mandatory Jax Exchanges.
As a result, following the Combination Date, each holder of Jax Exchange Notes will mandatorily receive, in addition to accrued and unpaid interest, for each $1,000 principal amount of the applicable series of Jax Exchange Notes held thereby, the consideration shown in the table below, based on the assumptions described in the footnote to the table below (the “Final Jax Consideration”).

| (1) | The aggregate Final Jax Consideration received by a holder of Jax Exchange Notes, being the sum of cash and principal amount of Final Jax Notes per $1,000 principal amount of Jax Exchange Notes, is fixed. The aggregate cash consideration paid pursuant to the Mandatory Jax Exchanges for each series of Jax Exchange Notes is capped. The amount of cash consideration and Final Jax Notes received by holders of Jax Exchange Notes upon the Mandatory Jax Exchanges will depend on the participation level of holders of Jax Existing Notes in the applicable Jax Amended Exchange Offer. The chart above shows the minimum and maximum amount of cash consideration, Final Jax 5-Year Notes, Final Jax 6-year Notes, and Final Jax 7-Year Notes which a holder of Jax Exchange Notes will receive in the Mandatory Jax Exchanges. A holder of Jax Exchange Notes will receive (i) the minimum cash consideration and maximum amount of Final Jax Notes shown above if holders of 100% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the applicable series of Jax Existing Notes participate in the applicable Jax Amended Exchange Offer, (ii) the maximum cash consideration and minimum amount of Final Jax Notes shown above if holders of 85% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the applicable series of Jax Existing Notes participate in the applicable Jax Amended Exchange Offer, and (iii) an amount in between the minimum and maximum amounts of cash and Final Jax Notes shown above if participation in the applicable Jax Amended Exchange Offers is greater than 85% and less than 100%. The aggregate Final Jax Consideration received by a holder of Jax Exchange Notes will be the same, regardless of participation levels in any of the Jax Amended Exchange Offers. Participants will not be able to make an election between Final Jax Notes and cash. |
ICF Exchange Notes and Lux Exchange Notes
The ICF Amended Exchange Offer provides for the issuance of $1,000 principal amount of the ICF Exchange Notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of the ICF Existing Notes tendered and accepted.
The Lux Amended Exchange Offers each provide for the issuance of $1,000 principal amount of the applicable series of the Lux Exchange Notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of the corresponding series of the Lux Existing Notes tendered and accepted.
Prior to the Combination Date, the ICF Exchange Notes and the Lux Exchange Notes will have substantially the same terms as the corresponding series of ICF Existing Notes and Lux Existing Notes for which they are exchanged, including the same guarantors, interest rates, interest payment and maturity dates and substantially identical covenants, except that none of the ICF Exchange Notes and the Lux Exchange Notes will be registered under the Securities Act, and holders of the ICF Exchange Notes and the Lux Exchange Notes will not have any registration rights. The ICF Exchange Notes and the Lux Exchange Notes will accrue interest from the last interest payment date with respect to the corresponding series of ICF Existing Notes or Lux Existing Notes for which they are exchanged. If the Combination does not occur, the ICF Exchange Notes and the Lux Exchange Notes will retain their respective original principal amounts and these same terms.
Following the Combination Date and without any action by any holder of the ICF Exchange Notes or the Lux Exchange Notes: (a) each series of the ICF Exchange Notes and the Lux Exchange Notes will (i) as to a portion of the principal amount thereof, become due and payable in cash; and (ii) as to the remaining portion of the principal amount thereof, (A) in the case of the ICF Exchange Notes, be mandatorily settled in full by delivery of Final Jax 7-Year Notes, and (B) in the case of the Lux Exchange Notes, either be cancelled for no further consideration or, in certain circumstances, be mandatorily settled in full by delivery of Final Jax 7-Year Notes, and (b) each series of the ICF Exchange Notes and the Lux Exchange Notes will, upon receipt of the Final ICF/Lux Consideration (as defined below) by the holders, be cancelled and will cease to be outstanding (collectively, the “Mandatory ICF/Lux Exchanges”). In addition, accrued but unpaid interest on the ICF Exchange Notes and the Lux Exchange Notes to but excluding the Combination Date will be paid upon consummation of the Mandatory ICF/Lux Exchanges.
As a result, following the Combination Date, each holder of ICF Exchange Notes, and each holder of Lux Exchange Notes, will mandatorily receive, in addition to accrued and unpaid interest on its applicable Exchange Notes, for each $1,000 principal amount of the applicable series of ICF Exchange Notes and Lux Exchange Notes, the consideration shown in the table below, based on the assumptions described in the footnote to the table below (the “Final ICF/Lux Consideration”).
