Item 7.01 Regulation FD.

On May 16, 2014, CommScope, Inc. (the “Issuer”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CommScope Holding Company, Inc., issued a conditional redemption notice (the “Notice”) with respect to its 8.25% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”). Pursuant to the Notice, the Issuer gave holders of the 2019 Notes notice that, subject to the conditions precedent stated therein, it will redeem all of the outstanding 2019 Notes on June 16, 2014 (the “Redemption Date”). The 2019 Notes, which have an outstanding principal balance of $1,100 million, will be redeemed in full at a redemption price equal to the present value through the Redemption Date of (i) 104.125% of the outstanding principal amount, plus (ii) all required interest payments due on the 2019 Notes through January 15, 2015 (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the Redemption Date).

As permitted by the terms of the 2019 Notes, the Notice and the Redemption are conditioned upon the consummation (as and when determined by the Issuer in its sole and absolute discretion) of the offering by the Issuer of $650,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.000% Senior Notes due 2021 and $650,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.500% Senior Notes due 2024 (collectively, the “New Notes Offering”). The Issuer will use a portion of the proceeds from the New Notes Offering to redeem the 2019 Notes.

The foregoing information is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
