Studio City International Holdings Limited (NYSE: MSC) (“Studio
City” or the “Company”), a world-class integrated resort located in
Cotai, Macau, today announces that the Company’s subsidiary, Studio
City Company Limited (“Studio City Company”), has entered into a
senior credit facilities agreement, dated November 29, 2024, with a
syndicate of banks (the “2024 Credit Facilities
Agreement”). Under the terms of the 2024 Credit Facilities
Agreement, lenders have made available to Studio City Company
HK$1.945 billion (equivalent to approximately US$250.0 million) in
revolving credit facilities for a term of five years (the “Senior
Revolving Facility”). The Credit Facility Agreement also provides
an option to increase the commitments under the Senior Revolving
Facility in an amount not exceeding US$100 million for Studio City
Company to incur further indebtedness under the Senior Revolving
Facility, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The
Senior Revolving Facility is secured and is supported by a
guarantee from the Company, Studio City Investments Limited and
each subsidiary of Studio City Company. The Company intends to use
the proceeds from the Senior Revolving Facility to refinance
outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate and working
capital purposes.
Studio City Company has also entered into an
amendment and restatement agreement, dated November 29, 2024, with,
among others, Bank of China Limited, Macau Branch, in relation to
the senior secured term loan and revolving facilities agreement
dated March 15, 2021 (as amended and restated from time to time,
and currently representing HK$234.0 million of committed
facilities) (the “Existing Credit Facilities”) to, among other
things, align certain terms of the Existing Credit Facilities with
the terms of the 2024 Credit Facilities Agreement.
