Telesat Canada Announces Proposed Secured Notes Offering
13 Aprile 2021 - 3:14PM
Telesat Canada (“Telesat”) today announced that, together with
Telesat LLC, as co-issuer, it intends to issue US$500 million of
senior secured notes due 2026 (the “Senior Secured Notes”) secured
by a first priority lien on the collateral that secures Telesat’s
existing credit agreement and existing 4.875% senior secured notes
due 2027.
Telesat intends to use the net proceeds from the proposed
offering of Senior Secured Notes (the “Offering”) to fund
additional investment into one or more unrestricted subsidiaries
for the development of Telesat Lightspeed, Telesat’s Low Earth
Orbit (LEO) satellite network, for the payment of fees and expenses
related to the Offering, and if the funding needs of Telesat
Lightspeed are less than currently anticipated, for general
corporate purposes.
The Senior Secured Notes are being offered only to qualified
institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and, outside the
United States, only to non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation S
under the Securities Act. The Senior Secured Notes will not be
registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws
and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
registration or an applicable exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act or other applicable securities
laws.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy any security and shall not
constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in
which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any
offers of the Senior Secured Notes will be made only by means of a
private offering memorandum. No assurance can be made that the
Senior Secured Notes will be issued.
