On November 13, 2025, Graham Holdings Company (the Company) priced the previously announced private offering pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), of $500 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2033 at 100% of principal amount and a 5.625% interest rate per annum (the Notes). The Notes will be guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by certain of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The private offering of the Notes is expected to close on November 24, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Substantially concurrently with the offering of Notes, the Company intends to amend and restate its revolving credit facility, increasing the total commitments by lenders under such facility to $400 million. The offering of Notes is not conditioned on the closing of the amended revolving credit facility, though the closing of such amendment is conditioned on the closing of the offering of Notes.
If the offering of Notes is consummated, the Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of Notes, together with the borrowings under the amended revolving credit facility, to (i) redeem all of the outstanding 5.750% notes due 2026, (ii) refinance outstanding revolving loans under the existing revolving credit facility, (iii) repay all amounts outstanding under the Company’s existing $150 million term loan facility and (iv) pay related fees and expenses.
The Notes and the related guarantees will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
The information in this Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
