Midcontinent Communications -- Moody's assigns Ba1 rating to Midcontinent's proposed credit facility
New York, November 09, 2016 -- Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has assigned a Ba1 instrument-level rating to Midcontinent Communications' (Midco) proposed $285 million senior secured term loan B. In connection with the transaction, the company will also upsize its existing $125 million revolving credit facility to $250 million. Proceeds from the new term loan, along with a combination of cash on hand and revolver usage will be used to pay off the company's existing term loans A and B, purchase the Kansas assets of WideOpenWest, and fund transaction fees. These transactions will occur simultaneously at the close of the transaction, expected late 2016 or early 2017.
