Uniti Group Inc. 8-K

What Happened

• On January 8, 2026, Uniti Group Inc. filed a Form 8‑K (Item 8.01) to announce that its subsidiary, Kinetic ABS Issuer LLC, intends to offer $960.10 million aggregate principal amount of secured fiber network revenue term notes. The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act and will be offered only to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and to persons outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S.

Key Details

• $960.10 million aggregate principal amount of secured fiber network revenue term notes announced.
• Issuer expects to enter a $150.0 million variable funding note facility with a delayed‑commitment feature (subject to leverage tests and customary availability/drawing conditions).
• Issuer also expects a liquidity funding note facility that can be drawn only to support the transaction’s liquidity reserve and cover specified payment shortfalls; both facilities governed by the same indenture as the Notes.
• Notes are unregistered and may not be offered or sold in the U.S. absent registration or an applicable exemption; offering limited to QIBs (Rule 144A) and non‑U.S. persons (Reg S).
• Press release announcing the offering is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the 8‑K.

Why It Matters

• This is a significant debt financing move: $960.10M of secured notes plus planned funding facilities could materially affect Uniti’s consolidated leverage, liquidity and capital structure once priced and issued.
• The Notes are secured by fiber network revenue, indicating the financing is tied to the company’s network cash flows; because the offering is unregistered and aimed at institutions, it will likely be sold privately to institutional investors.
• Uniti’s 8‑K also includes the standard forward‑looking statements and risks; investors should watch for future filings with final pricing, use of proceeds, closing details and any disclosed impact on Uniti’s financial metrics.
