MARCUS CABLE TO SELL NON-STRATEGIC CABLE SYSTEMS
IN ILLINOIS TO TRIAX
Dallas, TX.---In connection with its previously announced strategy of
divesting certain non-clustered cable television systems, Marcus Cable
Company, L.P. announced today that it has entered into a definitive
agreement with Triax Midwest Associates, L.P. to sell cable television
assets located in Illinois, serving approximately 32,500 customers
from five headends.
The systems operate as two distinct clusters within the state of
Illinois. The Ottawa cluster, located approximately two hours
southwest of Chicago, serves approximately 24,000 customers in the
communities of Bruce, Dayton, Dwight, Eagle, Kangley, Marseilles,
Naplate, Otter Creek, Ottawa, Pontiac, Reading and Streator from four
330 and 400 MHz headends. The Jacksonville system, located
approximately one hour north of St. Louis, serves approximately 8,500
customers in the communities of Jacksonville and South Jacksonville,
from a single 550 MHz headend.
In commenting on the sale, Jeffrey A. Marcus, Chairman and CEO said,
"This agreement represents the last of our previously announced
divestitures of non-strategic assets. In aggregate, we will have
received $405.5 million in gross proceeds from this process. The
funds from the sale of these systems will be reinvested in our company
through the repayment of debt and the investment in the infrastructure
of our systems. Triax has a significant presence in the state of
Illinois and currently operates in many of the communities surrounding
these systems. With Triax's commitment to the state of Illinois, I
am confident that our customers will continue to be well served under
the management of Triax."
Waller Capital is representing Marcus Cable in the sale of its
non-strategic systems. The transaction is subject to regulatory
approval and the closing is expected to occur in the third quarter of
1998.
Marcus Cable is principally engaged in the management and operation
of domestic wired telecommunications networks, including cable
television systems, distance education networks and internet services.
It is currently the nation's tenth largest cable operator serving over
1.2 million customers in 18 states. On April 6, 1998 Marcus announced
that it had entered into an agreement with Microsoft co-founder Paul
G. Allen to sell all of the limited partnership interests in the
company. Through his investment, Allen becomes a full partner in
Marcus Cable and will take an active role in the strategic direction
of the company. More information on Marcus Cable can be found on the
company's website on the internet at www.marcuscable.com. Additional
information on Paul Allen can be found on his website on the internet
at www.paulallen.com.
