01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. On January 31, 2025, (the "Closing Date"), CommScope Holding Company, Inc. (the "Company" or "CommScope") completed the previously announced sale of its Outdoor Wireless Networks business segment (the "OWN Business") as well as the Distributed Antenna Systems business unit of its Networking, Intelligent Cellular & Security Solutions segment (the "DAS Business") to Amphenol Corporation ("Amphenol") pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated as of July 18, 2024. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Amphenol acquired the OWN Business and the DAS Business on a cash-free, debt-free basis, in exchange for approximately $2.1 billion in cash, subject to certain adjustments. The proceeds from the sale of the OWN Business and the DAS Business will be used to pay fees and expenses associated with the transactions and to repay all outstanding amounts under the Company's asset-backed revolving credit facility, to repay in part the Company's 4.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 and to repay in full the Company's 6.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (collectively, the "Debt Repayment"). In connection with the repayment of all outstanding amounts under the Company's asset-backed revolving credit facility, the committed amount thereunder will be reduced to $750.0 million, subject to borrowing base limitations. Following the consummation of the Debt Repayment, we expect that the conditions precedent will be met for a 25 basis point reduction in the applicable margin on the Company's Senior Secured Term Loan. A description of the Purchase Agreement was set forth in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 23, 2024 (the "Prior 8-K"), but such description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, which was attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Prior 8-K.
