8-K Financial Filing Analysis for Gray Media (2026-10-09)
On October 8, 2026, Gray Media, Inc. executed the Seventh Amendment to its Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank as administrative agent. The refinancing transaction establishes a new $600 million Term Loan G maturing on July 15, 2030, and adjusts the revolving credit facility by extending its maturity to July 15, 2030, while downsizing aggregate commitments from $750 million to $680 million. Proceeds from the Term Loan G were utilized to pay transaction fees and pay down the existing Term D Loan, reducing its outstanding balance to $150 million. The Term Loan G carries an interest rate of Term SOFR plus 3.50% (or Base Rate plus 2.50%) with 0.25% quarterly principal amortization, and includes springing maturity provisions tied to the remaining balances of the Term D Loan and 2029 First Lien Notes.
