RESTON, Va., Aug. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- NII Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: NIHD) ("NII Holdings") today announced its
intention to sell, subject to market and other conditions, $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount
of convertible senior notes due 2023 (the "notes") to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). In addition, NII Holdings is expected to grant the initial purchasers a 30-day
option to purchase up to an additional $11,250,000 aggregate principal amount of the
notes.
NII Holdings intends to use the net proceeds from the notes offering for general corporate purposes, which may include,
without limitation, to fund the cash flow needs of Nextel Brazil.
The conversion price, interest rate and certain other terms of the notes will be determined by negotiations between NII
Holdings and the initial purchasers. When issued, the notes will be unsecured obligations of NII Holdings, effectively
subordinate to NII Holdings' obligations under any future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the assets securing
such indebtedness, structurally subordinate to NII Holdings' obligations under all existing and future liabilities of its
subsidiaries and pari passu to NII Holdings' obligations under any future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, and will pay
interest semi-annually in arrears. The notes will mature in 2023, unless repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with
their terms prior to maturity. Prior to February 15, 2023, the notes will be convertible only upon
satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods, and thereafter, at any time until the close of business on the
second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Upon conversion, the notes may be settled in shares of NII
Holdings' common stock, cash or a combination of cash and shares of NII Holdings' common stock, at NII Holdings' election.
The notes being offered and the common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes have not been registered under the
Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States
absent registration under, or an applicable exemption from, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable
state securities laws.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of
these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offer, if at
all, will be made only pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
