GCI Completes Issuance of $450 million of New Senior Notes due 2025

Anchorage, Alaska, April 1, 2015 - General Communication, Inc. GNCMA announced today the completion of the previously announced offering of $450 million in aggregate principal amount of new 6.875% senior notes due 2025 at an issue price of 99.105% (the "2025 Notes") issued by its wholly-owned subsidiary, GCI, Inc.  The net proceeds of the offering will be used to fund the tender offer for, or redemption of, GCI's $425 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding senior notes due 2019 (the "2019 Notes") and to pay fees and expenses related to the issuance of the 2025 Notes and purchase or redemption of the 2019 Notes.

The 2025 Notes were offered only to persons reasonably believed to be Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to persons outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.  The 2025 Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. 

In connection with the offering of the 2025 Notes, GCI has agreed, subject to certain conditions, to file a registration statement relating to a registered offer to exchange the 2025 Notes for new registered notes having substantially identical terms as the 2025 Notes.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the 2025 Notes, nor shall there be any sales of 2025 Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
