NCL Corporation Ltd. Announces Pricing of $1,800 Million of Senior Notes

MIAMI, Jan. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NCL Corporation Ltd. (“NCLC”), a subsidiary of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: NCLH), announced today that it has priced $1,800 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.750% senior notes due 2032 (the “Notes”), which were offered in a private offering (the “Notes Offering”) that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The offering of the Notes is expected to close on January 22, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. We intend to use the net proceeds from the Notes Offering, together with cash on hand, to redeem $1,200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.875% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Senior Notes”) and $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 8.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Secured Notes”), together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and to pay any related transaction premiums, fees and expenses. The redemption of the 2026 Senior Notes and the 2028 Senior Secured Notes will be conditioned upon the consummation of the Notes Offering.

The Notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and outside the United States, only to non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation S. The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. This press release also shall not constitute an offer to purchase, a solicitation of an offer to sell, or notice of redemption with respect to the 2026 Senior Notes or the 2028 Senior Secured Notes. This press release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act.
