TD SYNNEX United States Accounts Receivable Securitization Arrangement
In the United States, the Company has an accounts receivable securitization program to provide additional capital for its operations (the “U.S. AR Arrangement”). Under the terms of the U.S. AR Arrangement, the Company and its subsidiaries that are party to the U.S. AR Arrangement can borrow up to a maximum of $1.5 billion based upon eligible trade accounts receivable. The U.S. AR Arrangement has a maturity date of December 2024. The effective borrowing cost under the U.S. AR Arrangement is a blended rate based upon the composition of the lenders, that includes prevailing dealer commercial paper rates and a rate based upon the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). In addition, a program fee payable on the used portion of the lenders’ commitment accrues at 0.75% per annum. A facility fee is payable on the adjusted commitment of the lenders, to accrue at different tiers ranging between 0.30% per annum and 0.40% per annum depending on the amount of outstanding advances from time to time.
Under the terms of the U.S. AR Arrangement, the Company and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries sell, on a revolving basis, their receivables to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. Such receivables, which are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, totaled approximately $2.6 billion and $2.9 billion as of February 28, 2023 and November 30, 2022, respectively. The borrowings are funded by pledging all of the rights, title and interest in the receivables acquired by the Company's bankruptcy-remote subsidiary as security. Any amounts received under the U.S. AR Arrangement are recorded as debt on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
There was $110.0 million outstanding under the U.S. AR Arrangement at February 28, 2023 at an interest rate of 5.51%. There were no amounts outstanding under the U.S. AR Arrangement at November 30, 2022.
TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement
The Company is party to a credit agreement, dated as of April 16, 2021 (the “TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as agent, pursuant to which the Company received commitments for the extension of a senior unsecured revolving credit facility not to exceed an aggregate principal amount of $3.5 billion, which revolving credit facility (the “TD SYNNEX revolving credit facility”) may, at the request of the Company but subject to the lenders’ discretion, potentially be increased by up to an aggregate amount of $500.0 million. There were no amounts outstanding under the TD SYNNEX revolving credit facility at February 28, 2023 or November 30, 2022. The TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement also includes a senior unsecured term loan (the “TD SYNNEX term loan” and, together with the TD SYNNEX revolving credit facility, the “TD SYNNEX credit facilities”) in an original aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion, that was fully funded in connection with the closing of the Merger. The borrower under the TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement is the Company. There are no guarantors of the TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement. The maturity of the TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement is on the fifth anniversary of the September 2021 closing date, to occur in September 2026, subject in the case of the revolving credit facility, to two one-year extensions upon the Company’s prior notice to the lenders and the agreement of the lenders to extend such maturity date.
The outstanding principal amount of the TD SYNNEX term loan is payable in quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1.25% of the original $1.5 billion principal balance, with the outstanding principal amount of the term loans due in full on the maturity date. Loans borrowed under the TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement bear interest, in the case of LIBOR (or successor) rate loans, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable LIBOR (or successor) rate, plus the applicable margin, which may range from 1.125% to 1.750%, based on the Company’s public debt rating (as defined in the TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement). The applicable margin on base rate loans is 1.00% less than the corresponding margin on LIBOR (or successor rate) based loans. In addition to these borrowing rates, there is a commitment fee which ranges from 0.125% to 0.300% on any unused commitment under the TD SYNNEX revolving credit facility based on the Company’s public debt rating. The effective interest rate for the TD SYNNEX term loan was 6.02% and 5.46% as of February 28, 2023 and November 30, 2022, respectively. The Company uses interest rate swap derivative contracts to economically convert a portion of the TD SYNNEX term loan to fixed-rate debt (see Note 6 - Derivative Instruments for further discussion).
The TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement contains various loan covenants that are customary for similar facilities for similarly rated borrowers that restricts the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to take certain actions. The TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants which require compliance with a maximum debt to EBITDA ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio, in each case tested on the last day of each fiscal quarter. The TD SYNNEX Credit Agreement also contains various customary events of default, including with respect to a change of control of the Company.
TD SYNNEX Senior Notes
On August 9, 2021, the Company completed its offering of $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes, consisting of $700.0 million of 1.25% senior notes due August 9, 2024, $700.0 million of 1.75% senior notes due August 9, 2026, $600.0 million of 2.375% senior notes due August 9, 2028, and $500.0 million of 2.65% senior notes due August 9, 2031 (collectively, the “Senior Notes,” and such offering, the “Senior Notes Offering”). The Company incurred $19.6 million towards issuance costs on the Senior Notes. The Company pays interest semi-annually on the notes on each of February 9 and August 9. The net proceeds from this offering were used to fund a portion of the aggregate cash consideration payable in connection with the Merger, refinance certain of the Company's existing indebtedness and pay related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes.
The interest rate payable on each series of the Senior Notes will be subject to adjustment from time to time if the credit rating assigned to such series of Senior Notes is downgraded (or downgraded and subsequently upgraded). The Company may redeem the Senior Notes, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, prior to (i) August 9, 2022 (the “2024 Par Call Date”) in the case of the 2024 Senior Notes, (ii) July 9, 2026 (the “2026 Par Call Date”) in the case of the 2026 Senior Notes, (iii) June 9, 2028 (the “2028 Par Call Date”) in the case of the 2028 Senior Notes, and (iv) May 9, 2031 in the case of the 2031 Senior Notes (the “2031 Par Call Date” and, together with the 2024 Par Call Date, the 2026 Par Call Date and the 2028 Par Call Date, each, a “Par Call Date” and together, the “Par Call Dates”), at a redemption price equal to the greater of (x) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Senior Notes to be redeemed and (y) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of the principal and interest on the Senior Notes, discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable treasury rate plus 15 basis points for the 2024 Senior Notes, 20 basis points for the 2026 Senior Notes and 25 basis points for the 2028 Senior Notes and 2031 Senior Notes, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date. The Company may also redeem the Senior Notes of any series at its option, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, on or after the applicable Par Call Date, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed.
On June 14, 2022, the Company commenced an offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") its outstanding unregistered Senior Notes for new registered notes (the "Exchange Notes"). The purpose of the Exchange Offer was to fulfill the Company's obligations under the applicable registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the Exchange Offer, and the aggregate principal amount of Exchange Notes that were issued was equal to the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes that were surrendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer. The terms of the Exchange Notes are substantially identical to the terms of the respective series of the Senior Notes, except that the Exchange Notes are registered under the Securities Act, and certain transfer restrictions, registration rights, and additional interest provisions relating to the Senior Notes do not apply to the Exchange Notes. The Exchange Offer expired on July 14, 2022 and settlement occurred on July 15, 2022.
Other Borrowings and Term Debt
The Company has various other committed and uncommitted lines of credit with financial institutions, finance leases, short-term loans, term loans, credit facilities and book overdraft facilities, totaling approximately $600.1 million in borrowing capacity as of February 28, 2023. Most of these facilities are provided on an unsecured, short-term basis and are reviewed periodically for renewal. Interest rates and other terms of borrowing under these lines of credit vary by country, depending on local market conditions. There was $387.8 million outstanding on these facilities at February 28, 2023, at a weighted average interest rate of 4.88%, and there was $193.1 million outstanding at November 30, 2022, at a weighted average interest rate of 4.69%. Borrowings under certain of these lines of credit facilities are guaranteed by the Company.
At February 28, 2023, the Company was also contingently liable for reimbursement obligations with respect to issued standby letters of credit in the aggregate outstanding amount of $84.1 million. These letters of credit typically act as a guarantee of payment to certain third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions.
The maximum commitment amounts for local currency credit facilities have been translated into United States Dollars at February 28, 2023 exchange rates.
Covenant Compliance
The Company's credit facilities have a number of covenants and restrictions that require the Company to maintain specified financial ratios. The covenants also limit the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, create liens, enter into agreements with affiliates, modify the nature of the Company’s business, and merge or consolidate. As of February 28, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenant requirements for the
