Sinclair said its television group has reached an agreement with creditors on principal terms for new financings and a debt recapitalization that should enhance its liquidity.

The broadcasting company said Tuesday that Sinclair Television Group entered into a transaction support agreement with lenders that represent about 80% of the company's outstanding loans under its existing credit facilities, as well as holders of about 75% of its existing secured notes.

The refinancings are expected to push the company's closest meaningful maturity to December 2029 and extend all maturities to a weighted average of 6.6 years, Sinclair Chief Executive Chris Ripley said.

The agreement should also cut the company's first lien net leverage and improve its financial optionality, Ripley said.
