Gogo to launch of US$500m senior secured notes offering

Gogo reported the commencement of a private offering of US$500m aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2022 to be issued by its direct wholly owned subsidiary, Gogo Intermediate Holdings (the Issuer), and its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Gogo Finance. The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by Gogo Inc. and all of its existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. The Notes and the related guarantees will be secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ assets, including pledged equity interests of the Issuers and the Guarantors. There can be no assurance that the proposed offering of Notes will be completed. The Issuer intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to repay its outstanding indebtedness under its existing senior term credit facility and to use the remaining net proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including potential costs associated with the launch and commercial rollout of Gogo’s next-generation technology solutions.
