2021 Notes

On May 20, 2011 (“Closing Date”), GCI, Inc. our wholly-owned subsidiary, completed an offering of $325.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6 3/4% Senior Notes due 2021 (“2021 Notes”) at an issue price of 100% to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and to persons outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. We used the net proceeds from this offering to repay and retire all $320.0 million of our outstanding senior unsecured notes due 2014 (“2014 Notes”).

The 2021 Notes mature on June 1, 2021. Semi-annual interest payments are payable on June 1 and December 1, beginning on December 1, 2011. The 2021 Notes are carried on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The 2021 Notes are senior unsecured obligations which rank equally in right of payment with our existing and future senior unsecured debt, including our 8 5/8% Senior Notes due 2019, and senior in right of payment to all future subordinated indebtedness.

The 2021 Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of the Closing Date, between us and Union Bank, N.A., as trustee.

We are not required to make mandatory sinking fund payments with respect to the 2021 Notes.

Upon the occurrence of a change of control, each holder of the 2021 Notes will have the right to require us to purchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, except that no 2021 Note will be purchased in part if the remaining portion thereof would not be at least $2,000) of such holder's 2021 Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such 2021 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such 2021 Notes, if any. If we or certain of our subsidiaries engage in asset sales, we must generally either invest the net cash proceeds from such sales in our business within a period of time, prepay debt under any outstanding credit facility, or make an offer to purchase a principal amount of the 2021 Notes equal to the excess net cash proceeds, with the purchase price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

The covenants in the Indenture restrict GCI, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries from incurring additional debt, but permits debt under the Senior Credit Facility and vendor financing as long as our leverage ratio, as defined, does not exceed 5.5 to one; or enter into sale and leaseback transactions; pay dividends or distributions on capital stock or repurchase capital stock; issue stock of subsidiaries; make certain investments; create liens on assets to secure debt; enter into transactions with affiliates; merge or consolidate with another company; and transfer and sell assets. These covenants are subject to a number of limitations and exceptions, as further described in the Indenture.

On July 7, 2011, GCI, Inc. launched an exchange offer pursuant to which it offered new 2021 Notes identical to the original notes except that the new 2021 Notes will have been registered under the Securities Act. The exchange offer is expected to close on or about August 13, 2011.

We paid closing costs totaling $3.5 million in connection with the offering, which were recorded as deferred loan costs and are being amortized over the term of the 2021 Notes. We recorded a $9.1 million Loss on Extinguishment of Debt on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. Included in the loss was $2.9 million in unamortized deferred loan costs, $1.5 million for the unamortized portion of the original issue discount and $4.7 million in call premium payments to redeem our 2014 Notes.

Senior Credit Facility

In June 2011, GCI Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an Add-On Term Loan Supplement No. 1 (“Supplement No. 1”) to our Senior Credit Facility. The Supplement No. 1 provided for an additional $25.0 million term loan with an initial interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.5%, payable in accordance with the terms of our Senior Credit Facility.  Holdings used $20.0 million of the loan proceeds to pay down outstanding revolving loans under our Senior Credit Facility, thus increasing availability under the revolving portion of our Senior Credit Facility.  The remaining $5.0 million was used for general corporate purposes.

Our Senior Credit Facility, which includes the Supplement No. 1 as discussed above, includes a $25.0 million term loan and a $75.0 million revolving credit facility with a $25.0 million sublimit for letters of credit.  A total of $63.0 million is outstanding as of June 30, 2011. The term loan is fully drawn as of June 30, 2011.  Under the revolving portion of the Senior Credit Facility, we have borrowed $38.0 million and have $2.7 million of letters of credit outstanding, which leaves $34.3 million available for borrowing as of June 30, 2011. The Senior Credit Facility will mature on January 29, 2015.
