Adeia Successfully Completes Second Debt Repricing in Past 8 Months
January 30 2025 - 4:05PM
Adeia Inc. (Nasdaq: ADEA), the company whose patented innovations
enhance billions of devices and shape the way the world explores
and experiences entertainment, today announced the successful
repricing of its Term Loan B, thereby reducing its future interest
expense. The repricing lowers the applicable fixed interest rate by
50 basis points on the company’s Term Loan B remaining balance of
approximately $487.1 million. The new interest rate is SOFR + 250
basis points. There is no change to the original June 2028 maturity
date and all other terms remain substantially unchanged. The
company estimates that repricing will reduce the annual cash
interest expense by approximately $2.4 million.
“One of our top priorities has been to strengthen
our balance sheet and lower our interest expense through
accelerated debt repayments,” said Keith A. Jones, chief financial
officer of Adeia. “Since we began operating as an independent
company in October of 2022, we have paid down $272.3 million on our
Term Loan B. We are very pleased to have completed our second
repricing in the past 8 months, as favorable market conditions and
our highly cash generative business model have again provided an
opportunity for us to improve our cost structure by reducing our
annual interest costs by $2.4 million.”

Safe Harbor Statement
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within
the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking
statements are based on information available to the Company as of
the date hereof, as well as the Company’s current expectations,
assumptions, estimates and projections that involve risks and
uncertainties. In this context, forward-looking statements often
address expected future business, financial performance and
financial condition, and often contain words such as “expect,”
“anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “could,” “seek,” “see,”
“will,” “may,” “would,” “might,” “potentially,” “estimate,”
“continue,” “target,” similar expressions or the negatives of these
words or other comparable terminology that convey uncertainty of
future events or outcomes. All forward-looking statements by their
nature address matters that involve risks and uncertainties, many
of which are beyond the Company’s control, and are not guarantees
of future results. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks,
uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking
statements. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
indicated in such statements and, therefore, you should not place
undue reliance on any such statements and caution must be exercised
in relying on forward-looking statements. Important risk factors
that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to:
the Company’s ability to implement its business strategy; the
Company’s ability to enter into new and renewal license agreements
with customers on favorable terms; the Company’s ability to retain
and hire key personnel; uncertainty as to the long-term value of
the Company’s common stock; legislative, regulatory and economic
developments affecting the Company’s business; general economic and
market developments and conditions; the Company’s ability to grow
and expand its patent portfolios; changes in technology and
development of new technology in the industries in which in which
the Company operates; the evolving legal, regulatory and tax
regimes under which the Company operates; unforeseen liabilities
and expenses; risks associated with the Company’s indebtedness; the
Company’s ability to achieve the intended benefits of, and its
ability to recognize the anticipated tax treatment of, the spin-off
of its product business; unpredictability and severity of
catastrophic events, including, but not limited to, acts of
terrorism or outbreak of war or hostilities, natural disasters and
future outbreaks or pandemics, each of which may have an adverse
impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, and
financial condition. These risks, as well as other risks associated
with the Company’s business, are more fully discussed in the
Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”), including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. While the list of factors presented
here is, and the list of factors presented in the Company’s filings
with the SEC are, considered representative, no such list should be
considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and
uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional
obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements.
Causes of material differences in results as compared with those
anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among
other things, business disruption, operational problems, failure to
complete licensing arrangements on anticipated terms and timeline,
failure to prevail in litigation we may bring against third
parties, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and
similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on
the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of
operations, liquidity or trading price of common stock. The Company
does not assume any obligation to publicly provide revisions or
updates to any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
new information, future developments or otherwise, should
circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities
and other applicable laws.
