Gray Announces Closing of Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility Refinancing
ATLANTA, Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gray Media, Inc. (“Gray”) (NYSE: GTN) announced today that it has closed a new $600 million Term Loan G maturing July 15, 2030 and has reduced its existing $750 million revolving credit facility to $680 million and extended the maturity date from December 1, 2028 to July 15, 2030. The Term Loan G was priced at a margin of 350 basis points over the Standard Overnight Financing Rate and issued with an original issue discount of 0.5%. The pricing grid on the extended revolving credit facility remains unchanged. Proceeds from the Term Loan G were used to repay a portion of Gray’s existing Term Loan D maturing December 1, 2028, leaving $150 million aggregate principal amount outstanding, and to pay related fees and expenses.
Together with the August 21, 2026 closing of Gray’s $750 million offering of 7.50% senior secured first lien notes due 2034, the proceeds of which were used to, among other items, repay $675 million of Gray’s 10.5% senior secured first lien notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”), the company has successfully extended maturities across an aggregate of over $1.25 billion of debt and lowered its overall borrowing costs, while also extending its revolving credit facility maturity.
Following these refinancing transactions, Gray has no material debt maturities until after both the 2026 and 2028 political cycles. The company’s nearest maturities now consist of the remaining $150 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under its Term Loan D due in December 2028 and the remaining $350 million of its 2029 Notes due in July 2029.
