Radio One talks $350 million seven-year notes to yield 7¼%-7½%; pricing Thursday

By Paul A. Harris

Portland, Ore., April 1 – Radio One Inc. talked its $350 million offering of seven-year senior secured notes (B2/B) to yield 7¼% to 7½%, according to an informed source.

Books close at 10 a.m. ET on Thursday, and the Rule 144A for life and Regulation S deal is set to price thereafter.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the bookrunner for the offering.

The notes become callable after three years at par plus 50% of coupon and feature a three-year 35% equity clawback and a 101% poison put.

The Washington, D.C.-based diversified media company plans to use the proceeds to finance the acquisition of ComCast Corp.’s 47.5% interest in TV One LLC.

Radio One primarily targets African American and urban consumers.
