Studio City Company Announces Proposed Senior Secured Notes Offering

MACAU, May 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Studio City Company Limited (“Studio City Company”) today announces that it proposes to conduct an international offering of senior secured notes (the “New Notes” and such offering, the “Notes Offering”). Studio City Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Studio City International Holdings Limited (“SCIHL”).

The New Notes are proposed to be senior secured obligations of Studio City Company, ranking equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of Studio City Company (although any liabilities in respect of obligations under the US$30 million senior secured credit facilities with Studio City Company as borrower, that are secured by common collateral securing the proposed New Notes, will have priority over the proposed New Notes with respect to any proceeds received upon any enforcement action of such common collateral), and ranking senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of Studio City Company. The New Notes are proposed to be guaranteed by Studio City Investments Limited and all of its existing subsidiaries (other than Studio City Company) on a senior basis (the “Note Guarantees”). Neither Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited nor SCIHL will be a guarantor for the New Notes.

The interest rate and other terms of the New Notes will be determined at the time of pricing of the Notes Offering. Completion of the proposed Notes Offering is subject to market conditions and investor interest. As no binding agreement in relation to the proposed Notes Offering has been entered into as at the date of this press release, the proposed New Notes may or may not be issued.

The net proceeds from the Notes Offering will be used, together with cash on hand, to repurchase any and all outstanding Studio City Company’s outstanding 7.00% senior secured notes due 2027 (the “2027 SCC Senior Secured Notes”) pursuant to the tender offer that was launched concurrently with the Notes Offering, and, to the extent any 2027 SCC Senior Secured Notes remain outstanding following the consummation of the tender offer, to redeem any such outstanding 2027 SCC Senior Secured Notes.

The New Notes and the Note Guarantees are being proposed to be offered and sold in the United States to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside of the United States to non-US persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The proposed New Notes and the Note Guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction 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 any applicable state laws. Studio City Company does not intend to register any portion of the offering of the proposed New Notes and the Note Guarantees in the United States.

This press release is for information purposes only. Nothing in this press release constitutes an offer to buy, or a solicitation of an offer to sell, securities in the United States or any other jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation would be unlawful. This press release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act.
