One of Mediacom’s two operating units, Mediacom LLC, has repaid the last of its remaining bonds and has stopped making reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
According to Jack Griffin, VP of corporate finance for the New York-based cable operator, Mediacom LLC repaid the last of its remaining bonds in February, leaving only private banking debt to be repaid.
“We still have bonds at Mediacom Broadband, and will continue to file with the SEC for that silo as long as they remain outstanding,” Griffin said.
