Insights

Studio City is refinancing its 2027 notes via a new secured bond.

Studio City Company Limited proposes new senior secured notes and a concurrent conditional cash tender for any and all of its 7.00% senior secured notes due 2027. The tender pays US$1,001.25 per US$1,000 principal, slightly above par, for early participation.

The transaction is subject to a financing condition that requires sufficient net proceeds from the new notes, together with cash on hand, to fund both the tender and a planned conditional redemption on June 5, 2026. This structure effectively aims to refinance the 2027 maturity while keeping liquidity use controlled.

Investor response to the tender before the May 12, 2026 expiration and final pricing terms on the new notes will determine the ultimate cost of debt and remaining 2027 balance. Actual impact on leverage and interest expense will depend on coupon levels and take-up of the offer.

senior secured notes financial
"proposes to conduct an international offering of senior secured notes"
Senior secured notes are loans a company sells to investors that are backed by specific assets and given first priority for repayment if the company defaults. Because they have a claim on collateral and are paid before other debts, they usually offer lower risk and correspondingly lower interest than unsecured debt; investors use them to judge how safe repayment and recovery of principal might be, like holding a mortgage instead of an unsecured credit card balance.
Rule 144A regulatory
"offered and sold in the United States to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A"
Rule 144A is a regulation that makes it easier for companies to sell private bonds to large investors without going through all the usual rules that apply to public sales. It matters because it helps companies raise money more quickly and privately, often attracting big investors looking for special deals.
Regulation S regulatory
"outside of the United States to non-US persons in reliance on Regulation S"
Regulation S is a set of rules that allows companies to sell securities (like shares or bonds) to investors outside the United States without having to follow all U.S. securities laws. It matters because it makes it easier for companies to raise money from international investors while still complying with U.S. regulations.
Conditional Tender Offer financial
"initiated a conditional cash tender offer for any and all of its outstanding 7.00% senior secured notes"
An offer by a buyer to purchase shareholders’ stock that will only go ahead if certain conditions are met, such as a minimum number of shares being tendered or regulatory approval being obtained. It matters to investors because it can create a chance to sell shares at a premium but carries uncertainty — like getting an offer to buy your car only if enough neighbors agree or an inspection passes — affecting share price, liquidity, and control outcomes.
Financing Condition financial
"conditional upon, among other things, the receipt ... sufficient to fund the Conditional Tender Offer and the redemption"
Financing condition refers to the overall environment and terms under which borrowing money is available, including interest rates, lending standards, and access to credit. It influences how easily individuals or businesses can obtain funds and at what cost, affecting economic activity and investment decisions. When financing conditions are favorable, borrowing is easier and cheaper; when they tighten, borrowing becomes more difficult and expensive.
Offer to Purchase regulatory
"subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Offer to Purchase, dated May 6, 2026"
An offer to purchase is a formal proposal from one party to buy a specific amount of shares or assets from another party at a set price. It matters to investors because it signals interest in acquiring ownership and can influence the value or control of a company. Think of it as someone putting forward a clear, serious offer to buy something they find valuable.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Studio City Company Announces Proposed Senior Secured Notes Offering

Macau, Wednesday, May 6, 2026 – Studio City Company Limited (“Studio City Company”) today announces that it proposes to conduct an international offering of senior secured notes (the “New Notes” and such offering, the “Notes Offering”). Studio City Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Studio City International Holdings Limited (“SCIHL”).

The New Notes are proposed to be senior secured obligations of Studio City Company, ranking equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of Studio City Company (although any liabilities in respect of obligations under the US$30 million senior secured credit facilities with Studio City Company as borrower, that are secured by common collateral securing the proposed New Notes, will have priority over the proposed New Notes with respect to any proceeds received upon any enforcement action of such common collateral), and ranking senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of Studio City Company. The New Notes are proposed to be guaranteed by Studio City Investments Limited and all of its existing subsidiaries (other than Studio City Company) on a senior basis (the “Note Guarantees”). Neither Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited nor SCIHL will be a guarantor for the New Notes.

The interest rate and other terms of the New Notes will be determined at the time of pricing of the Notes Offering. Completion of the proposed Notes Offering is subject to market conditions and investor interest. As no binding agreement in relation to the proposed Notes Offering has been entered into as at the date of this press release, the proposed New Notes may or may not be issued.

The net proceeds from the Notes Offering will be used, together with cash on hand, to repurchase any and all outstanding Studio City Company’s outstanding 7.00% senior secured notes due 2027 (the “2027 SCC Senior Secured Notes”) pursuant to the tender offer that was launched concurrently with the Notes Offering, and, to the extent any 2027 SCC Senior Secured Notes remain outstanding following the consummation of the tender offer, to redeem any such outstanding 2027 SCC Senior Secured Notes.

The New Notes and the Note Guarantees are being proposed to be offered and sold in the United States to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside of the United States to non-US persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The proposed New Notes and the Note Guarantees have not been and 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. Studio City Company does not intend to register any portion of the offering of the proposed New Notes and the Note Guarantees in the United States.
