TECHNICOLOR : Successful repricing of the senior debt maturing 2020

Technicolor (Euronext Paris: TCH; OTCQX: TCLRY) announces today that it has fixed the terms and conditions of its repricing transaction launched in mid-April.

Technicolor has successfully repriced $884 million and €321 million of senior secured term loans issued by Tech Finance & Co. S.C.A. and maturing in 2020 at new pricing of Libor / Euribor + 450bps, subject to a 1% Libor / Euribor floor. This represents a significant reduction from the previous pricing of Libor / Euribor + 600bps / 625bps, subject to a 1.25% Libor / Euribor floor. The average weighted interest rate is reduced to 5.50% from 7.33%.

In addition, in order to pursue further deleveraging, Technicolor has decided to prepay €50 million of this debt. The repricing and the prepayment will close on April 30.

Following this transaction and the reimbursement at the end of May 2014 of the group's remaining legacy debt due 2016/2017, Technicolor's total pro-forma senior gross nominal debt will be approximately €900 million, a reduction of approximately €170 million versus December 31, 2013. The reduced interest rate and prepayments will result in annual cash interest savings of approximately €26 million.

The transaction has also allowed the group to diversify its lender base and to eliminate hard call protection.
