Item 8.01 Other Events

Senior Term Loan Credit Agreement Amendment

On October 17, 2016, WMG Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Warner Music Group Corp., launched a process by which it is seeking lender consent to an amendment (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the credit agreement, dated November 1, 2012 (as amended by the amendments dated as of May 9, 2013 and July 15, 2016, the “Credit Agreement”), governing the Company’s senior secured term loan facility with Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent, and the other financial institutions and lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Senior Term Loan Facility”). If approved, the Credit Agreement Amendment will extend the maturity date of the Company’s Credit Agreement to November 1, 2023, subject, in certain circumstances, to a springing maturity inside the maturity date of certain of the Company’s other outstanding indebtedness.

On October 13, 2016, the Company priced an offering of €345 million 4.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 and $250 million 4.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2024. The offering of these notes is expected to close on October 18, 2016. On October 18, 2016, the Company also plans to consummate its cash tender offers for any and all of its outstanding 6.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2021 and 6.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2021 and satisfy and discharge the indenture relating to such notes (to the extent not accepted for purchase in such tender offers).
