The Knot Announces 2009 Registry Study

Biggest Theme: The Web's Role Continues to Grow

NEW YORK, Nov 09, 2009 -- The Knot Inc. (NASDAQ: KNOT | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating), the owners of The Knot Wedding Network (which includes the Internet's most-trafficked wedding websites and communities, TheKnot.com and WeddingChannel.com) deliver the latest installment of The Knot Market Intelligence Bridal Series with this year's Bridal Registry Study, tracking the $12 billion registry industry.

This recent survey of over 12,500 couples with 2009 wedding dates captured detailed feedback on wedding registry decisions, including influences, products, and retailer choices, made during the registering process.

"Once again, we are delighted to present a holistic look at the registry process from start to finish," said Miriam Alexander Vice President, Head of Insights and Analytics of The Knot Inc. "The response to our first survey proved that there is a real need in the marketplace for this kind of comprehensive examination. With our access to brides nationwide, we are uniquely suited to provide these relevant insights and look forward to sharing them with industry stakeholders." 2009 BRIDAL REGISTRY STUDY HIGHLIGHTS THE INTERNET PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE IN MULTIPLE WAYS -- ONLINE REGISTRY SET-UP & MANAGEMENT CONTINUE TO GAIN POPULARITY: In-store wedding registry set-up still dominates (57%), but the new study reveals couples continue to move toward the web for their initial registry set-up needs (33% in 2009 vs. 29% in 2008). And when it comes to managing their registry over the course of their engagement, the majority of couples use the Internet exclusively (69%).

-- INTERNET IS HIGHLY INFLUENTIAL: When it comes to registry influences, the Internet is the dominant media platform and shares the top spot with friends and family. These sources are influential for 80% of couples. In-store visits come in third with 45%.

-- PERSONAL WEDDING WEB PAGE BECOMES A REGISTRY HUB: A couple's personal wedding web page has become more than just a resource for day-of wedding details. Two-thirds of couples now have personal wedding web pages, which play an increasing role in the registry process. Most of these web pages are a primary resource for communicating registry information to guests. In fact, 53% of to-be-weds utilize an online wedding web page to inform their guests of their registry specifics -- a 13% increase over last year.

TOP THREE RETAILERS MAINTAIN THEIR DOMINANT POSITIONS: Nearly 70% of couples create their primary registries with Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, and Macy's. Bed Bath & Beyond leads the category with over 35% of couples choosing the store as their primary registry.

COUPLES ARE CONSCIOUS OF THE ECONOMY: Many couples are considering their guests' pocketbooks when registering for their wedding gifts; more than 4 out of 10 couples claim that the current state of the economy affected their registry choices.

HONEYMOON REGISTRIES GAIN TRACTION: Couples registering for honeymoons increased 50% -- 12% in 2009 compared to 8% in 2008. Other alternative registries, such as charity registries, have remained relatively stable year over year; 4% of couples set up a charity registry.

MOST POPULAR ITEM CATEGORIES: Kitchen, bed, and bath remain the most popular categories on a couple's wedding registry (kitchen appliances/electrics, 91%; bakeware, 91%; kitchen accessories, 88%; cookware, 86%; bath items, 85%; bedding, 84%). However, other categories continue to grow, such as electronics (30% in 2009 vs. 26% in 2008) and everyday china (69% in 2009 vs. 64% in 2008). Brides are moving toward transitional china that can serve for both casual and formal occasions.

Additional highlights will be available on The Knot Market Intelligence website: TheKnotInc.com/tkmi, while complete results and custom profiles are available for purchase. For more information, please contact TKMI at insights@theknot.com. The 2009 Registry Study is the latest release in The Knot Market Intelligence Bridal Research Series.

Virgin Media Announces Closing of GBP 715 Million Equivalent of Senior Notes Due 2019

LONDON, Nov 09, 2009 -- Virgin Media Inc. (NASDAQ:VMED) (LSE:VMED), a leading UK entertainment and communications business, today announced the closing of the offering of approximately GBP 715 million equivalent aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2019, split into a $600 million U.S. dollar denominated tranche and a GBP 350 million sterling denominated tranche, of its wholly-owned subsidiary Virgin Media Finance PLC.

The notes are guaranteed on a senior basis by Virgin Media Inc. and the intermediate holding companies of Virgin Media Finance PLC and on a senior subordinated basis by Virgin Media Investment Holdings Limited, the main borrower under Virgin Media's senior credit facilities. The notes rank pari passu with Virgin Media Finance's outstanding senior notes due in 2014 and 2016.

The dollar denominated notes bear interest at a rate of 8.375% per annum and the sterling denominated notes bear interest at a rate of 8.875% per annum. Interest on each series of notes will be payable in cash semi-annually in arrears, beginning on April 15, 2010. Both series of notes will mature on October 15, 2019.

The issue price of the dollar denominated notes was 98.364% of the principal amount and the issue price of the sterling denominated notes was 98.401% of the principal amount. The net proceeds from the offering, taking into account fees, expenses and a deferred fee, are estimated to be approximately GBP 689.4 million, based on a $/GBP exchange rate of $1.6479 on October 30, 2009.

Virgin Media intends to use these net proceeds to redeem a portion of the outstanding senior notes due 2014 of Virgin Media Finance PLC. Those notes were issued in April 2004, will mature on April 15, 2014 and comprise U.S. dollar denominated 8.75% senior notes due 2014 with a principal amount outstanding of $425 million, sterling denominated 9.75% senior notes due 2014 with a principal amount outstanding of GBP 375 million, and euro denominated 8.75% senior notes due with a principal amount outstanding of EUR225 million. The current redemption price is 104.375% of the principal amount of the dollar denominated notes and the euro denominated notes and 104.875% of the principal amount of the sterling denominated notes. Virgin Media expects to send a notice of redemption to the holders of the senior notes due 2014 shortly. Virgin Media currently expects to repay the remaining outstanding senior notes due 2014 in the future with cash from its balance sheet, supplemented further by cash flow from operations, subject to obtaining consent from its senior lenders.
