PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Comcast Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCSA) ("Comcast") and NBCUniversal Media, LLC ("NBCUniversal") announced today the pricing terms and expected settlement date of its private offers to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") certain series of existing Comcast and NBCUniversal notes (the "Old Notes") for Comcast's new notes due November 1, 2047 (the "New 2047 Notes"), new notes due November 1, 2049 (the "New 2049 Notes") and new notes due November 1, 2052 (the "New 2052 Notes" and, together with the New 2047 Notes and the New 2049 Notes, the "New Notes").

The aggregate principal amount and interest rate of each series of New Notes expected to be issued by Comcast is set forth in the table below:

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 17, 2017 (the "Early Participation Date"), the Exchange Offer was over-subscribed, and Comcast and NBCUniversal have elected to accept for exchange all Old Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Exchange Offer as of the Early Participation Date, subject to applicable caps and proration procedures, on the second business day following the Early Participation Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, which is expected to be October 19, 2017 (the "Early Settlement Date"), if all conditions to the Exchange Offer have been or concurrently are satisfied or waived by Comcast and NBCUniversal.

The table below identifies the aggregate principal amount of each series of Old Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in the Exchange Offer and the principal amount of each series of Old Notes that Comcast and NBCUniversal expect to accept on the Early Settlement Date:

For each $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Participation Date and accepted by Comcast or NBCUniversal, the following table sets forth the Total Consideration and the approximate principal amount of the New Notes (subject to rounding and cash in lieu of fractional notes) to be received by Eligible Holders, as priced below:

The Exchange Offer is being conducted upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a confidential offering memorandum (the "Offering Memorandum"), dated October 3, 2017.

Because the Exchange Offer was over-subscribed as of the Early Participation Date, holders who tender Old Notes after the Early Participation Date will not have any of their Old Notes accepted for exchange. Any Old Notes tendered after the Early Participation Date, together with any Old Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Participation Date but not accepted for exchange by Comcast or NBCUniversal, including Old Notes not accepted because of proration, will be returned to the holders thereof as described in the Offering Memorandum.

For each $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, and accepted by Comcast or NBCUniversal, Eligible Holders of such Old Notes will also receive a cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest on the applicable series of Old Notes up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date, as well as a cash payment for amounts due in lieu of fractional amounts of New Notes.

The Exchange Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 31, 2017, unless extended or earlier terminated by Comcast or NBCUniversal. In accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer, the withdrawal deadline relating to the Exchange Offer occurred at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on October 17, 2017. As a result, tendered Old Notes may no longer be withdrawn, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law (as determined by Comcast and NBCUniversal).

The Exchange Offer is only made and the New Notes are only being offered and will only be issued, to holders of Old Notes either (a) in the United States, that are "qualified institutional buyers," as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), in a private transaction in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or (b) (i) outside the United States, that are persons other than "U.S. persons," as that term is defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act, in offshore transactions in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act, (ii) if located or resident in any Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented Directive 2003/71/EC, as amended (the "Prospectus Directive"), who are "Qualified Investors" as defined under the Prospectus Directive and (iii) if located or resident in Canada, is located or resident in a province of Canada and is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in National Instrument 45- 106 - Prospectus Exemptions ("NI 45-106"), and, if resident in Ontario, section 73.3(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario) that is not an individual unless that person is also a "permitted client" as defined in National Instrument 31-103 - Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations ("NI 31-103") (each, an "Eligible Holder").
