Defined Terms    Capitalized terms used in this Final Term Sheet that are not defined herein are used herein as defined in the Company’s preliminary prospectus supplement relating to this offering dated October 2, 2018
Use of Proceeds:    The Company intends to use the net proceeds of this offering, together with the net proceeds from loans under its Term Loan Facilities, to finance the Company’s purchase of Sky Shares from Sky shareholders who validly accept the Sky Offer, to settle a portion of its Market Purchases and to pay related fees and expenses. The Company has also made Market Purchases with cash on hand and the net proceeds from (i) the issuance of commercial paper, (ii) loans under its Term Loan Facilities and (iii) revolving loans drawn under its Revolving Credit Facility. The Company may use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to repay commercial paper outstanding, to repay amounts drawn under its Revolving Credit Facility and/or to replenish a portion of its cash, in each case, that was previously used for Market Purchases. This offering of Notes, which will close prior to the First Sky Settlement Date, is not conditioned on the occurrence of the First Sky Settlement Date.


  

 

As of October 1, 2018, the Company had $3.0 billion of borrowings outstanding under the Comcast Corporation commercial paper program at a weighted average annual interest rate of approximately 2.46% and a weighted average remaining maturity of approximately 18 days, and the Company had $7.26 billion outstanding under its April Term Loan Credit Agreement (using the exchange rate as of October 1, 2018) at a weighted average interest rate of 1.66% and $1.5 billion outstanding under its Revolving Credit Facility at an interest rate of 5.25%.

 

As at the close of business in London on September 21, 2018, the Company had received valid acceptances of the Sky Offer in respect of Sky Shares representing approximately 0.22% of the issued ordinary share capital of Sky (based on the number of Sky Shares in issue on September 21, 2018). Market Purchases through September 26, 2018 and the purchase and settlement or acceptance of the Sky Offer in respect of the Fox Shares, will result in Comcast Bidco holding or having received acceptances in respect of over 75% in aggregate of Sky Shares in issue at the time.

Indenture:    Indenture dated as of September 18, 2013 by and among the Company, the guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 17, 2015 by and among the Company, the guarantors named therein and the Trustee.


Trustee:    The Bank of New York Mellon
Expected Ratings: 1    Moody’s: A3 (Stable); S&P: A- (Negative); Fitch: A- (Stable)
Trade Date:    October 2, 2018
Settlement Date:   

October 5, 2018 (“T+3”)

 

It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about October 5, 2018, which is the third business day following the date hereof (such settlement cycle being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes prior to the second business day prior to the settlement date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+3, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.
