MACAU — On May 6, 2026, Studio City Company Limited announced a conditional cash tender offer for its outstanding 7.00% senior secured notes due 2027 and simultaneously proposed an international offering of new senior secured notes through its subsidiary structure; the company issued an Offer to Purchase and related offering notices the same day. The tender offer is conditional on sufficient net proceeds from the planned notes offering together with cash on hand, and is set to expire at 5:00 p.m. New York time with settlement expected May 15, 2026; public reports cite roughly $2.0–$2.03 billion total debt, a market capitalization near $462 million, and a 41% six-month share-price decline.
