NEWS pour les obligations de DISH Network qui se fait acheter par Direct TV
NEW YORK (Reuters) -DirecTV on Monday agreed to buy EchoStar’s satellite television business that includes Dish TV, capping decades of on-and-off talks to create one of the nation’s largest pay TV distributors with a combined 20 million subscribers.
DirecTV clinches long-elusive deal to combine with Dish
SECTION 4.15. Offer to Purchase Upon Change of Control Event.
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Event, the Company shall be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of repurchase (the “Change of
Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Event, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder stating:
Long story short, EchoStar is getting out of the satellite TV business, while DirecTV is wading deeper in. While the intricacies of EchoStar’s "suite of transformative transactions" are confusing, the upshot appears to be this:
EchoStar is currently unprofitable, and laden with $25.3 billion in debt against only $520 million in cash. By selling Dish and Sling to DirecTV, it will lighten its debt load, lower its interest payments, and get closer to profitability. The company is also rolling over its debt and pushing it a few years down the road, while taking on more debt and selling more shares to raise cash.
