GLENTEL Inc. Withdraws Proposed Offering of $200 Million Senior Unsecured Notes

BURNABY, BC, Sept. 23, 2014 /CNW/ - GLENTEL Inc. ("GLENTEL" or the "Company") (TSX: GLN) announced today that it is withdrawing its previously announced offering of $200 million Senior Unsecured Notes (the "Notes") due in 2019 and the related refinancing of its senior secured credit facility.

The unsecured Notes offering was intended to opportunistically repay borrowings under the Company's existing senior secured credit facilities and to be used for general corporate purposes. While the offering generated investor interest, it did not ultimately result in terms and conditions that were satisfactory to the Company.

The Company intends to continue with its existing senior secured credit facilities that are currently in good standing, and which mature in October 2017.  While maintaining its disciplined approach to raising capital, GLENTEL will continue to periodically review other financing options that provide additional flexibility to the Company.
