Melco Resorts Finance Announces Proposed Senior Notes Offering

MACAU, July 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Melco Resorts Finance Limited (“Melco Resorts Finance”) announces that it proposes to conduct an international offering of senior notes (the “New Notes”), the net proceeds from which will be used to make a repayment of the principal amount outstanding for the revolving credit facility under the senior facilities agreement entered into by MCO Nominee One Limited, a subsidiary of Melco Resorts Finance, on April 29, 2020 and for general corporate purposes. Melco Resorts Finance is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited (“Melco”).

The New Notes are proposed to be senior obligations of Melco Resorts Finance, ranking equally with all of Melco Resorts Finance’s existing and future senior indebtedness. Melco will not be a guarantor of the New Notes.

The interest rate and other terms of the New Notes will be determined at the time of pricing of the offering. Completion of the proposed offering of the New Notes is subject to market conditions and investor interest.

The proposed New Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction 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 any applicable state laws. Melco Resorts Finance does not intend to register any portion of the offering of the proposed New Notes in the United States.
