MDC Partners Inc. Announces Completion of $900 Million of 6.50% Senior Notes due 2024

New York, NY, March 23, 2016 (NASDAQ: MDCA) – MDC Partners Inc. (“MDC Partners” or the “Company”) today announced the completion of its private offering of $900 million aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior unsecured notes due 2024 (the “Notes”). Net proceeds received from this offering were approximately $880.1 million. MDC Partners plans to use the net proceeds of the offering to redeem all $735.0 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6.75% Senior Notes due 2020, to pay accrued interest, related premiums, fees and expenses, and to repay outstanding borrowings, if any, under its amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility. Any remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including funding of deferred acquisition consideration.

The Notes and related guarantees were offered only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and related guarantees will not be registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to sell or buy any securities, in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
