On February 1, 2018, Time Warner Inc. (“Time Warner”) issued a press release setting forth its financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2017. A copy of Time Warner’s press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

(d) provided that any and all guarantees under the 1993 Indenture may be released at any time at HTW’s discretion.

The Twelfth Supplemental Indenture became effective on December 22, 2017. A copy of the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1. The foregoing description of the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture set forth in this Item 1.01 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture, which is incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

To fund the purchase of Debentures pursuant to the Offers described in Item 1.01, Time Warner borrowed $2.0 billion under its Term Facility (as defined below) on December 18, 2017 and funded the remaining portion of the $4.5 billion purchase price of Debentures tendered and accepted for purchase on December 22, 2017 pursuant to the Offers by borrowing under its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 19, 2011, among Time Warner, Time Warner International Finance Limited, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), issuing unsecured commercial paper notes under its commercial paper program and using cash on hand.

On December 4, 2017, Time Warner entered into a new $2.0 billion senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility (the “Term Facility”) pursuant to a Credit Agreement, dated as of December 4, 2017 (the “Term Credit Agreement”), among Time Warner, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent.

Borrowings under the Term Facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $2.0 billion may be made during an availability period that will terminate on December 29, 2017. The Term Facility will mature on the date that is eight months following the date of the initial borrowing thereunder, and Time Warner may, at its option, elect to extend the maturity date of the Term Facility by up to four months, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent. Borrowings under the Term Facility bear interest at a rate based on the debt rating for Time Warner’s senior unsecured long-term debt. Based on the debt rating as of December 18, 2017, borrowings under the Term Facility bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.25% per year.

The provisions of the Term Credit Agreement, including the representations, warranties, covenants and events of default, are substantially similar to the provisions of the Revolving Credit Agreement.

The Term Credit Agreement does not contain any credit ratings-based defaults or covenants or any ongoing covenants or representations specifically relating to a material adverse change in Time Warner’s financial condition or results of operations. Consistent with the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Term Credit Agreement contains a maximum consolidated leverage ratio covenant of 4.5 times the consolidated EBITDA of Time Warner. The obligations of Time Warner under the Term Credit Agreement are directly or indirectly guaranteed by HTW, TBS and HBO.

The foregoing description of the Term Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Term Credit Agreement.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously disclosed, Time Warner entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 22, 2016 (the “Merger Agreement”), among Time Warner, AT&T Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AT&T”), West Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T (“Corporate Sub”), and West Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T (“Merger LLC”), and under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the “Termination Date” of the Merger Agreement has been extended to April 22, 2018.

On December 21, 2017, AT&T, Time Warner, Corporate Sub and Merger LLC entered into a limited waiver and agreement, pursuant to which AT&T and Time Warner each waived, until June 21, 2018, its right to terminate the Merger Agreement due to a failure to complete their merger contemplated thereunder by April 22, 2018.
