The availability of the 2021 Senior Secured Credit Facilities is subject to agreeing definitive documentation and the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent.
SCC is a subsidiary of Studio City International Holdings Limited, of which 60% is held indirectly by Melco Crown Entertainment Limited (“Melco Crown Entertainment”) and 40% is held directly by New Cotai, LLC.
The Notes are proposed to be senior secured obligations of SCC, ranking equally with all of SCC’s existing and future senior indebtedness (although any liabilities in respect of obligations under the 2021 Senior Secured Credit Facilities that are secured by common collateral securing the proposed Notes will have priority over the proposed Notes with respect to any proceeds received upon any enforcement action of such common collateral) and ranking senior to all of SCC’s existing and future subordinated indebtedness. The Notes are proposed to be guaranteed by Studio City Investments Limited and all of the subsidiaries of SCC on a senior basis (the “Note Guarantees”). Melco Crown Entertainment will not be a guarantor for the Notes.
The interest rate and other terms of the Notes will be determined at the time of pricing of the 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 has been entered into as at the date of this press release, the proposed Notes may or may not be issued.

The proposed Notes and the Note Guarantees 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.
