On March 15, 2021, KFC Holding Co., Pizza Hut Holdings, LLC and Taco Bell of America, LLC (collectively, the “Borrowers”), each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed the refinancing of the then existing $1.9 billion term loan B facility, $431 million term loan A facility and $1.0 billion revolving facility through the issuance of a $1.5 billion term loan B facility maturing March 15, 2028 (the "Term Loan B Facility"), a $750 million term loan A facility maturing March 15, 2026 (the "Term Loan A Facility") and a $1.25 billion revolving facility maturing March 15, 2026 (the "Revolving Facility") pursuant to an amendment to the Credit Agreement (as defined in our 2020 Form 10-K). The amendment reduces the interest rate currently applicable to the refinanced Term Loan A Facility and for borrowings under the refinanced Revolving Facility by 25 basis points. Subsequent to the refinance the interest rate applicable to the Term Loan A Facility and the Revolving Facility ranges from 0.75% to 1.50% plus LIBOR or from 0.00% to 0.50% plus the Base Rate, at the Borrowers' election, based on the total leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

The refinanced Term Loan A Facility is now subject to quarterly amortization payments in an amount equal to 0.625% of the principal amount of the facility as of the refinance date beginning with the second quarter of 2022. The Term Loan A Facility quarterly amortization payments increase to 1.25% of the principal amount of the facility as of the refinance date beginning with the second quarter of 2024. The Term Loan B Facility continues to be subject to quarterly amortization payments in an amount equal to 0.25% of the principal amount of the facility as of the refinance date. All other material provisions under the Credit Agreement remain unchanged.

As a result of this Credit Agreement refinancing, $8 million of fees were capitalized as debt issuance costs, $3 million of which were paid directly to lenders. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, fees expensed of $4 million as well as previously recorded unamortized debt issuance costs written off of $8 million were recognized within Interest expense, net due to this refinancing.

On April 1, 2021, Yum! Brands, Inc. issued $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.625% YUM Senior Unsecured Notes due January 31, 2032 (the “2032 Notes”). Interest on the 2032 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on October 1, 2021. The indenture governing the 2032 Notes contains covenants and events of default that are customary for debt securities of this type, including cross-default provisions whereby the acceleration of the maturity of any of our indebtedness in a principal amount of $100 million or more or the failure to pay the principal of such indebtedness at its stated maturity will constitute an event of default under the 2032 Notes unless such indebtedness is discharged, or the acceleration of the maturity of that indebtedness is annulled, within 30 days after notice. The Company paid debt issuance costs of $13 million in connection with the 2032 Notes. The debt issuance costs will be amortized to Interest expense, net over the life of the 2032 Notes using the effective interest method. We used the net proceeds from the 2032 Notes to fund the redemption of the 2026 Notes discussed below.

On April 23, 2021, the Borrowers issued a notice of redemption for June 1, 2021 for $1,050 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Subsidiary Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). The redemption amount was equal to 102.625% of the $1,050 million aggregate principal amount redeemed, reflecting a $28 million “call premium”. We recognized the call premium and the write-off of $6 million of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the 2026 Notes within Interest expense, net in the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

On June 30, 2021, Yum! Brands, Inc. issued a notice of redemption for $350 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% YUM Senior Unsecured Notes due November 1, 2021 (the "2021 Notes"). The redemption, which occurred on August 2, 2021, was in an amount equal to 100% of the $350 million aggregate principal amount redeemed, plus accrued interest to the date of redemption.

Excluding the amounts associated with the Credit Agreement refinancing and extinguishment of the 2026 Notes discussed above, cash paid for interest during the years to date ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $235 million and $243 million, respectively.
