Gray Media, Inc. — Form 8-K Summary
Reporting date: October 9, 2026. The filing reports financing amendments and a planned partial redemption of notes; it does not provide operating or period financial results.
Financing and key terms
- Gray amended its senior credit facility to add a $75 million delayed-draw increase to Term Loan G, bringing its aggregate principal amount to $675 million. The increase is expected to be available after customary conditions are met, expected on or before October 19, 2026.
- Term Loan G is due July 15, 2030. Gray may elect interest at Term SOFR plus 3.50% or Base Rate plus 2.50%. The facility requires quarterly principal reductions equal to 0.25% of the loan’s initial aggregate principal amount.
- Gray expects to use the incremental loan proceeds, together with cash on hand, to fund a planned $150 million redemption of its 10.500% senior secured first lien notes due 2029 and pay related fees and expenses.
- The redemption is planned for October 19, 2026, is conditional on funding the loan increase, and would be at 105.250% of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Liquidity, debt and covenants
- The transaction would add $75 million to Term Loan G while reducing the 2029 Notes principal by $150 million if completed. The filing does not state the resulting net debt, cash balance, liquidity, or pro forma interest expense.
- Credit facility obligations are secured by substantially all assets of Gray and certain wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, excluding real estate. Certain subsidiaries guarantee the obligations, and Gray’s ownership interests in them are pledged.
- The facility includes restrictions on matters such as liens, indebtedness, investments, asset dispositions, restricted payments and use of proceeds. A first-lien net leverage covenant applies under specified conditions involving revolving loans or undrawn, uncash-collateralized letters of credit.
Outlook, risks and unusual items
The filing contains no earnings guidance or operating outlook. Both the loan increase and note redemption are prospective and conditional, not reported as completed. The refinancing involves a redemption premium, accrued interest and transaction expenses. The filing does not provide a clear value for the applicable Base Rate margin, the precise quarterly payment amount, or the covenant’s maximum leverage limits.
