MU Finance plc, a subsidiary of Manchester United plc, has issued a notice of redemption for all £177.78m principal of its outstanding sterling 8.75% bonds and $22.09m principal of its dollar 8.375% bonds.  Funding for this bond redemption is to be provided by a committed $315.7m term facility from Bank of America, N. A..  This is a new five-year facility which is pre-payable at any time with scheduled amortization payments of 2.5% per annum (first payable in June 2014), and with an additional amortization payment of up to an incremental 2.5% per annum (for a total of up to 5% per annum) depending on the level of excess cash flow generated by the group (likely first payable in October 2014).  The interest rate payable under the new facility will be a variable rate calculated as US dollar Libor (with no floor) plus an applicable margin determined by reference to a leverage grid (ranging from 1.50% to 2.75% per annum).  The financial covenants and other restrictions on the group contained in the facility are materially the same as those contained in the existing bonds and the current revolving credit facility.
