Item 8.01 Other Events

On April 6, 2021, Uniti Group Inc. (the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") issued a press release to announce an offering of senior secured notes (the "New Notes") by its subsidiaries, Uniti Group LP, Uniti Group Finance 2019 Inc. and CSL Capital, LLC (the "Issuers"). The New Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and on a senior secured basis by each of the Company's subsidiaries (other than the Issuers) that guarantees indebtedness under the Company's senior secured credit facilities and the Company's existing secured notes (except initially those subsidiaries that require regulatory approval prior to guaranteeing the New Notes). The Issuers intend to use the net proceeds from the offering of the New Notes to fund the redemption (the "Redemption") in full of the outstanding $550 million aggregate principal amount of 6.00% senior secured notes due 2023 (the "2023 secured notes"), including related premiums, fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing. The notice of redemption issued today for the 2023 secured notes is conditioned upon completion of one or more debt financings in an aggregate principal amount of at least $570 million. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the 2023 secured notes.

The New Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. The New Notes will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
