(“APX”), priced its offering of $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes (the “Notes”) in a private placement. The Notes will bear interest at 6.75% per annum and are due in 2027. The Notes offering is expected to close on February 14, 2020, subject to customary closing conditions.
Vivint also announced that, concurrently with the Notes offering, APX intends to amend and restate the credit agreements governing its existing revolving credit facility and term loan credit facility (the “Concurrent Refinancing Transactions”).

Vivint intends to use the net proceeds from the Notes offering and Concurrent Refinancing Transactions, together with the proceeds from its previously announced merger with Mosaic Acquisition Corp. completed on January 17, 2020, to (i) redeem all of APX’s outstanding 8.750% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”), (ii) redeem all of APX’s outstanding 8.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Private Placement Notes”), (iii) refinance in full borrowings under APX’s existing term loan facility and revolving credit facility, (iv) redeem a portion of APX’s outstanding 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the “existing 7.875% Notes”) and (v) pay the related accrued interest and fees and expenses related thereto. Vivint intends to use any remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of additional indebtedness. No assurances may be given that these transactions will be completed on the timeline, in the amount or on the terms presently contemplated by the Company or at all.
