GTT COMMUNICATIONS,INC. (NYSE:GTT) Files An 8-K Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events.
Recent Acquisition Activity
In May2017, GTT Communications,Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
Company), entered into a non-binding letter of intent with a
possible acquisition candidate in the telecommunications sector
for a proposed purchase price of approximately $39.5 million,
subject to adjustments for working capital and undisclosed
liabilities. If consummated, the Company expects that the
proposed purchase price would reflect a multiple of estimated
post-synergy Adjusted EBITDA of 5.0x or lower. If the Company
consummates this proposed acquisition, the Company expects to
fund the purchase price with cash on hand. In May2017, Company
entered into another non-binding letter of intent with a possible
acquisition candidate in the telecommunications sector for a
proposed purchase price of approximately $155 million, subject to
adjustments for working capital and undisclosed liabilities. If
consummated, the Company expects that the proposed purchase price
would reflect a multiple of estimated post-synergy Adjusted
EBITDA of 5.0x or lower. If the Company consummates this proposed
acquisition, the Company expects to fund approximately $100
million of the purchase price with cash on hand and the remainder
with shares of its common stock. The proposed acquisitions
referred to in this paragraph are referred to as the Proposed
Acquisitions. Consummation of each of the Proposed Acquisitions
is subject to various conditions, including completion of the
Companys due diligence review and execution of a definitive
purchase agreement. There can be no assurances that the Company
will close either of the Proposed Acquisitions on the terms
described above or at all.
Notes Offering
On May24, 2017, the Company announced that it intends to offer,
subject to market conditions, $150 million aggregate principal
amount of its 7.875% senior notes due 2024 (the Notes) in a
private offering that is exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
Securities Act). If issued, the Notes will be treated as a single
series with the Companys $300 million aggregate principal amount
of 7.875% senior notes due 2024 that it issued on December22,
2016.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for
general corporate purposes, including, if the Proposed
Acquisitions are consummated, funding the cash consideration for
such Proposed Acquisitions, and, if such Proposed Acquisitions
are not consummated, working capital, repayment of indebtedness
under the Companys credit facilities, capital expenditures and
the financing of other future acquisitions.
The Notes will be offered only to qualified institutional buyers
to Rule144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. buyers in
accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes
have not been and are not expected to be registered under the
Securities Act or under any state securities laws and, unless so
registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States or to
U.S. persons except to an exemption from, or in a transaction not
subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act
and applicable state securities laws. This 8-K does not
constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to
buy any securities, nor shall it constitute an offer,
solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer,
solicitation or sale is unlawful.
