Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure |
On August 8, 2013, Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (the Company) announced that it plans to make a private offering of $200 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.000% Senior Notes due 2020 (the Notes). In connection with the private offering of the Notes, the Company intends to disclose certain information to potential investors. Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 are excerpts from the confidential preliminary offering memorandum dated August 8, 2013, containing certain of such information.
The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with borrowings under its new senior secured credit facility, to repay in full borrowings under its existing senior secured credit facility, redeem all of its outstanding 8.125% senior notes due 2018 and pay related fees and expenses. A copy of the press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
The Notes will be offered through a private placement and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), or any state securities laws. As a result, they may not be offered or sold in the United States or to any U.S. persons except pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Accordingly, the Notes will be offered only to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act or, outside the United States, to persons other than U.S. persons in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The information disclosed under this Item 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing made under the Securities Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing. The furnishing of this information pursuant to Item 7.01 shall not be deemed an admission by the Company as to the materiality of such information.
