On October 25, 2012, we issued $500.0 million principal amount of our 5.50% Senior Notes due 2022 for aggregate proceeds of $497.2 million. The notes bear interest at 5.50% per annum, subject to adjustment based upon our credit ratings. Interest is payable on May 1 and November 1 of each year beginning on May 1, 2013 until the stated maturity date of November 1, 2022. The notes were issued by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Block Financial LLC (Block Financial), and were fully and unconditionally guaranteed by H&R Block, Inc. The notes and the guarantee are senior unsecured obligations of Block Financial and H&R Block, Inc. We may redeem some or all of the notes, at our option, at any time at specified prices, and we must offer to repurchase the notes upon a change in control. The indenture governing the notes, which also governs our 5.125% Senior Notes due 2014, does not contain any financial covenants and contains only limited restrictive covenants regarding our ability to merge with another entity, convey, transfer or lease substantially all of our assets, or incur liens, in each case, subject to certain exceptions.

On October 25, 2012, we provided notice to the trustee of our intention to redeem the entire $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 7.875% Senior Notes that were due to mature in January 2013. The redemption settled on November 26, 2012 for an aggregate price of $623.0 million, which included full payment of principal, a make-whole premium of $5.8 million and interest accrued up to the redemption date of $17.2 million. Proceeds of the issuance of our 5.50% Senior Notes, together with cash balances on hand, were used to redeem the 7.875% Senior Notes. We recognized a loss on the extinguishment of this debt of $5.8 million in fiscal year 2013, which primarily represents the interest that would have been paid on these notes if they had not been redeemed prior to maturity. This loss is included in other income, net on our consolidated statements of income.

In August 2012, we terminated our previous unsecured committed line of credit agreement and we entered into a new five-year, $1.5 billion unsecured committed line of credit governed by a Credit and Guarantee Agreement (2012 CLOC). Funds available under the 2012 CLOC may be used for general corporate purposes or for working capital needs. The 2012 CLOC bears interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus an applicable rate ranging from 0.750% to 1.45% or PRIME plus an applicable rate ranging from 0.000% to 0.450% (depending on the type of borrowing and our then current credit ratings) and includes an annual facility fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.300% of the committed amounts (also depending on our then current credit ratings). The 2012 CLOC is subject to various conditions, triggers, events or occurrences that could result in earlier termination and contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default, including, without limitation: (1) a covenant requiring the Company to maintain a debt-to-EBITDA ratio calculated on a consolidated basis of no greater than (a) 3.50 for the fiscal quarters ending on April 30, July 31, and October 31 of each year and (b) 3.75 for the fiscal quarter ending on January 31 of each year; (2) a covenant requiring us to maintain an interest coverage (EBITDA-to-interest expense) ratio calculated on a consolidated basis of no less than 2.50 as of the last date of any fiscal quarter; and (3) covenants restricting our ability to incur additional debt, incur liens, merge or consolidate with other companies, sell or dispose of their respective assets (including equity interests), liquidate or dissolve, make investments, loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions, and engage in certain transactions with affiliates or certain restrictive agreements. The 2012 CLOC includes provisions that allow for the issuance of equity which would be added to EBITDA in determining compliance with the financial covenant calculations as a separate and additional means to avoid a shortfall. We were in compliance with these requirements at April 30, 2013. We had no balances outstanding under the 2012 CLOC at April 30, 2013; however, we may borrow amounts under the 2012 CLOC from time to time in the future to support working capital requirements or for other general corporate purposes.

On October 26, 2004, we issued $400.0 million of 5.125% Senior Notes under our shelf registration. The Senior Notes are due to mature on October 30, 2014 and are not redeemable by the bondholders prior to maturity.

We have a capitalized lease obligation of $9.7 million at April 30, 2013, that is collateralized by land and buildings. The obligation is due over the next 10 years.

The aggregate payments required to retire long-term debt are $0.7 million, $400.4 million, $0.8 million, $0.8 million, $1.0 million and $503.0 million in fiscal years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and beyond, respectively.

HRB Bank is a member of the FHLB, which extends credit to member banks based on eligible collateral. At April 30, 2013, HRB Bank had FHLB advance capacity of $436.2 million. At April 30, 2013, we had no balance outstanding on this facility. Mortgage loans held for investment of $252.5 million and AFS securities of $264.0 million serve as eligible collateral and are used to determine total capacity.
