PRESS RELEASE
Tele Columbus AG announces the launch of an Amendment of its Senior Credit
Facilities
Berlin, 4 October 2016. Tele Columbus AG, the third largest German cable
operator, has announced the amendment of its EUR1.38 billion Senior Credit
Facilities. The Company expects the transaction to be closed by the end of
October 2016.
Tele Columbus AG plans to refinance, consolidate and extend the maturity
(to 2 January 2023) of its EUR1.255 billion existing term loans and amend
certain provisions of the facilities agreement. Notwithstanding the
amendments to certain provisions of the facilities agreement, the maturity
of the existing Capex and Revolving Credit facilities of a total EUR125
million will not be affected. Tele Columbus's current S&P and Moody's
ratings are B2 (stable) and B (stable) respectively, and Tele Columbus will
be working with both rating agencies to confirm existing ratings in the
near term.
J.P. Morgan is acting as sole Arranger in relation to the amendment.
About Tele Columbus
The SDAX listed Tele Columbus Group is one of Germany's largest cable
network operators. Via its origins - individual regional cable network
operators that were merged into Tele Columbus - the company dates back to
1972. Today, about 3.6 million connected households in Germany are served
by Tele Columbus, primacom, pepcom, Deutsche Telekabel, Martens und KMS
with TV signals and, increasingly, digital broadcast packages, Internet and
voice connections provided via high-performance broadband cable. As a
national provider with a regional focus and a partner of the housing
industry, the Group is present throughout its core markets Berlin,
Brandenburg, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia as well as in numerous key

is upgrading its networks in a hybrid fibre-optic infrastructure for
superfast Internet connections of up to several hundred megabits per second
with the state-of-the-art Internet transmission standard DOCSIS 3.0. The
broadband cable caters to the entire range of innovative media applications
from analogous, digital and high-definition TV to high-speed Internet and
voice connections to telemetry services, tenant portals and interactive
services. Beyond merely transmitting signals, Tele Columbus uses its own
product platform in order to actively increase the programme offering and
to develop additional services. Via its company HL komm, Tele Columbus also
delivers powerful connections and network services to business customers.
