AOL TW to sell up to $2.3 bil in stock
Fri Feb 14, 4:03 AM ET Add Entertainment - Reuters/Variety Industry to My Yahoo!

NEW YORK (Variety) - AOL Time Warner Thursday took steps to untangle its balance sheet, filing registration statements with the Securities & Exchange Commission to sell up to $2.3 billion of securities to fulfill previous financial commitments.

Some $1.5 billion worth of shares will go to Comcast Corp. as part of the restructuring of their Time Warner Entertainment partnership. AOL TW also needs $812 billion to buy a stake in AOL Europe that is owned by Vivendi Universal.

AOL TW hasn't decided yet if it will pay Vivendi in cash or stock.

AOL TW chairman Richard Parsons warned investors several weeks ago that the company would have to increase its already hefty $26 billion debt load this year to meet previous obligations including Comcast, Vivendi and the construction of the new AOL Time Warner headquarters in Columbus Circle.

A so-called shelf registration with the SEC formalizes a company's intention to sell securities, but doesn't mean a transaction must take place or that it must sell all the shares it filed for.

AOL TW shares slipped under the benchmark $10 mark to $9.90 in early trading on the New York Stock Exchange (news - web sites) before closing down 1.7% at $10.15.
