Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 24, 2013, Cinemark USA, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary (Cinemark USA), completed an offering of $530 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the Notes) to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A and to persons outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). The Notes are guaranteed by certain of our other subsidiaries (the Guarantors). The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to finance a redemption of Cinemark USAs outstanding 8.625% Senior Notes due 2019.
Indenture
The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of May 24, 2013 (the Indenture), by and among Cinemark USA, the Guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (the Trustee). Cinemark USAs obligations under the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Guarantors and will be guaranteed by any Restricted Subsidiary (as defined in the Indenture) that guarantees, assumes or in any other manner becomes liable with respect to any indebtedness of Cinemark USA or any Guarantor. If Cinemark USA cannot make payments on the Notes when they are due, the Guarantors must make them instead.
The Notes and the guarantees of the Notes are the senior unsecured obligations of Cinemark USA and the Guarantors and rank equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior debt of Cinemark USA and the Guarantors, including all borrowings under Cinemark USAs senior secured credit facility, its 8.625% Senior Notes due 2019 and its 5.125% Senior Notes due 2022, and senior in right of payment to all of the existing and future subordinated debt of Cinemark USA and the Guarantors, including Cinemark USAs 7.375% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2021. The Notes and the guarantees of the Notes are effectively subordinated to all of the existing and future secured debt of Cinemark USA and the Guarantors, including all borrowings under our senior secured credit facility, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt. The Notes and the guarantees of the Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and other liabilities of Cinemark USAs subsidiaries that are not Guarantors.
The Notes will mature on June 1, 2023. Interest on the Notes accrues at a rate of 4.875% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2013. Cinemark USA is obligated to make each interest payment to the holders of record of the Notes as of the immediately preceding May 15 and November 15.
Cinemark USA will have the option to redeem all or a portion of the Notes at any time on or after June 1, 2018 at redemption prices specified in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to the date of redemption. Prior to June 1, 2018, Cinemark USA has the option to redeem all or any part of the Notes at 100% of the principal amount, plus a make-whole premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to the date of redemption. At any time prior to June 1, 2016, Cinemark USA may also redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 104.875% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), Cinemark USA will be required to make an offer to each holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part of the Notes for a cash payment equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of repurchase.
The Indenture contains covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of Cinemark USA and certain of its subsidiaries to (1) make investments or other restricted payments, including paying dividends, making other distributions or repurchasing subordinated debt or equity, (2) incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (3) enter into transactions with affiliates, (4) enter new lines of business, (5) merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, another person and (6) create liens.
The Indenture provides for customary events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), which include nonpayment with respect to the Notes, the breach of covenants contained in the Indenture, payment defaults or acceleration of other indebtedness, the failure to pay certain judgments and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the Trustee or holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare the principal and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.
The foregoing description of the Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete copy of the Indenture that is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the offering of the Notes, Cinemark USA and the Guarantors entered into an Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of May 24, 2013 (the Registration Rights Agreement), with the initial purchasers of the Notes. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, Cinemark USA and the Guarantors have agreed to use their commercially reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 120 days of May 24, 2013 with respect to an offer to exchange the Notes for substantially identical notes that are registered under the Securities Act. Cinemark USA and the Guarantors are required to use their commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the exchange offer registration statement to become effective at the earliest practicable time, but not later than 210 days after May 24, 2013 and to hold the exchange offer open for at least 20 business days. If Cinemark USA and the Guarantors fail to meet these or other certain obligations, they will be required to pay additional interest to the holders of the Notes. In addition, under certain circumstances, Cinemark USA will be required to file a registration statement for the resale of the Notes.
The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete copy of the Registration Rights Agreement that is filed as Exhibit 4.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
