BURBANK, Calif., March 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- LBI Media, Inc. ("LBI Media"), a wholly owned subsidiary of LBI Media Holdings, Inc. ("LBI Media Holdings"), announced today that it has priced its previously announced offering, and entered into an agreement to issue and sell, subject to certain conditions, $220.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2019 (the "Notes"). The Notes were offered in a private offering pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

LBI Media expects to close the offering on March 18, 2011, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Concurrently with the closing of the Notes offering, LBI Media also intends to enter into its previously announced new revolving credit facility of up to $50.0 million.

The Notes will pay interest semi-annually on each April 15 and October 15 at a rate of 9.25% per year, beginning March 18, 2011, and will mature on April 15, 2019. LBI Media's subsidiaries will guarantee the Notes and the new senior secured revolving credit facility on a senior secured basis, subject to certain exceptions. The Notes and the new senior secured revolving credit facility will be secured on a first priority basis by substantially all of LBI Media's and the guarantors' assets, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens and the provisions of an intercreditor agreement relating to distributions of proceeds.

The Notes will be issued by LBI Media at the initial price of 98.594% of the principal amount. The aggregate net proceeds from the sale of the Notes, after deducting initial purchasers' discounts, fees and estimated offering expenses, will be used by LBI Media to repay all amounts outstanding under its existing senior secured credit facilities and for general corporate purposes.

The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
