Private Offering of
an Additional $250 Million of 5 3/4% Senior Notes due 2026
Baton Rouge, LA January 23, 2019 Lamar Advertising Company (Nasdaq: LAMR) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Lamar Media Corp (Lamar Media) has agreed to sell $250 million of additional 5 3/4% Senior Notes due 2026 (the Notes) through an institutional private placement. The Notes are being issued as additional notes to the existing $400 million aggregate principal amount of 5 3/4% Senior Notes due 2026 that Lamar Media issued on January 28, 2016 (the Existing Notes). Other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price and CUSIP number, the Notes will have the same terms as the Existing Notes. Once the Notes are registered and exchanged for exchange notes or become freely tradeable under Rule 144, Lamar Media expects that the Notes and the Existing Notes will share a single CUSIP number and thereafter be fungible. The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by substantially all of Lamar Medias domestic subsidiaries.
The proceeds, after the payment of fees and expenses, to Lamar Media of this offering are expected to be approximately $251.5 million. Lamar Media intends to use the proceeds of this offering, after the payment of fees and expenses, to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility. Subject to customary closing conditions, the closing of this offering is expected to occur on or about February 1, 2019.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities, nor shall there be any sales of the Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. This notice is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135(c) under the Securities Act.
The Notes and related guarantees subject to the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), or any state securities laws, and are being offered only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S. Unless so registered, the Notes and related guarantees may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
