What is the new interest rate and maturity date for the notes issued?
The newly issued 5.168% Notes due 2037 will mature on January 15, 2037, and bear interest at a rate of 5.168% per annum, payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15, beginning January 15, 2026.
Are the new notes secured or unsecured?
The New Notes are guaranteed by Comcast Cable Communications, LLC and NBCUniversal on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis.
What happens to the notes that were not exchanged?
