ARLINGTON, Va., July 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Allbritton Communications Company ("ACC") announced today the tender results for its previously announced tender offer (the "Tender Offer") for any and all of its outstanding 8% Senior Notes due May 15, 2018 (the "Notes"). As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 30, 2014, Notes representing approximately 99.92% of the then-outstanding principal amount of Notes had been tendered. ACC has exercised its option to accept for payment and settle $454,640,000 of Notes. The Tender Offer was conducted in conjunction with the sale by the Allbritton family of the stock of Perpetual Corporation, ACC's parent corporation, to Sinclair Broadcast Group, which sale is expected to be completed today.

In addition, ACC announced today that it has delivered notice to the holders of all of its remaining outstanding Notes of its intention to redeem any and all of the Notes pursuant to the Indenture governing the Notes. The redemption price for the Notes will be 104% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes. ACC intends to accomplish a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture by irrevocably depositing today with the trustee for the Notes funds in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes.

This press release is not an offer to sell any securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy any securities. ACC has neither obtained any commitments to purchase, nor entered into any agreements, to sell any securities.
