Senior Secured Credit Facility
On June 15, 2010, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility ("credit facility") with various lenders. The credit facility consists of a senior secured term loan ("term loan") and a senior secured revolving line of credit ("revolving line of credit"). On April 9, 2014, we refinanced and amended the credit facility. The refinancing resulted in an increase in the outstanding term loan from $1,120.5 million to $1,900.0 million. The amendment, among other things, reduced the interest rate floor and margins, reduced the amount available under the revolving line of credit from $210.0 million to $190.0 million, extended the maturity dates, and changed certain covenant requirements. The additional borrowings were used in part to repay all amounts outstanding under the existing revolving line of credit and pay fees and expenses associated with the refinancing transaction. On May 9, 2014, the remaining borrowings were used to redeem the entire $645.0 million outstanding balance of the 11.375% notes issued by TransUnion Financing Corp and Trans Union LLC including a prepayment premium and unpaid accrued interest through June 15, 2014. We refer to these transactions collectively as the "2014 Refinancing Transaction." The early redemption of the 11.375% notes resulted in a net gain of $45.4 million recorded in other income and expense in the consolidated statements of income consisting of the unamortized 2012 Change in Control Transaction fair value increase in the notes of $89.4 million less an early redemption premium and other costs totaling $44.0 million. The credit facility refinancing resulted in $12.7 million of refinancing fees and other net costs expensed and recorded in other income and expense in the consolidated statements of income.
Interest rates on the refinanced term loan are based on the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") unless otherwise elected, and subject to a floor of 1.00%, plus a margin of 2.75% or 3.00% depending on our senior secured net leverage ratio. Under the refinanced term loan, the Company is required to make principal payments of 0.25% of the refinanced original principal balance at the end of each quarter, with the remaining balance due April 9, 2021. The Company will also be required to make additional payments beginning in 2015 based on excess cash flows of the prior year. Depending on the senior secured net leverage ratio for the year, a principal payment of between zero and fifty percent of the excess cash flows will be due the following year.
Interest rates on the refinanced revolving line of credit are based on LIBOR unless otherwise elected, and subject to a floor of 1.00%, plus a margin of 2.50% or 2.75% depending on our senior secured net leverage ratio. There is a 0.375% or 0.50% annual commitment fee, depending on our senior secured net leverage ratio, payable quarterly based on the undrawn portion of the revolving line of credit. The commitment under the revolving line of credit expires on April 9, 2019.
With certain exceptions, the obligations are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Trans Union LLC, including its investment in subsidiaries. The credit facility continues to contain various restrictions and nonfinancial covenants, along with a senior secured net leverage ratio test. The nonfinancial covenants include restrictions on dividends, investments, dispositions, future borrowings and other specified payments, as well as additional reporting and disclosure requirements. We are in compliance with all of the loan covenants.
On April 30, 2012, we entered into swap agreements that effectively fixed the interest payments on a portion of the existing term loan at 2.033%, plus the applicable margin, beginning March 28, 2013. Under the swap agreements, which we had designated as cash flow hedges, we pay a fixed rate of interest of 2.033% and receive a variable rate of interest equal to the greater of 1.50% or the three month LIBOR. The net amount paid or received was recorded as an adjustment to interest expense. As a result of the April 9, 2014, credit facility amendment, the hedges were no longer expected to be highly effective and no longer qualify for hedge accounting. The total fair value of the swap instruments as of April 9, 2014, of $1.6 million was recorded in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The corresponding net of tax loss of $1.0 million was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis through December 29, 2017, the remaining life of the swaps. Changes in the fair value of the swaps after April 9, 2014, are being recorded in other income and expense. We recorded a loss of $0.7 million for the change in the fair value of the swaps from April 9, 2014, through June 30, 2014.
11.375% Notes
Trans Union LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary TransUnion Financing Corporation issued $645.0 million principal amount of 11.375% senior unsecured notes due June 15, 2018. On May 9, 2014, the 11.375% notes were fully repaid and redeemed using proceeds received on the new term loan.

9.625% Notes
On March 21, 2012, the Company issued $600.0 million principal amount of 9.625%/10.375% senior unsecured PIK toggle notes (“9.625% notes”) due June 15, 2018, in a private placement to certain investors. Pursuant to an exchange offer completed in October 2012, these notes were subsequently registered with the SEC. The Company is required to pay interest on the 9.625% notes in cash unless certain conditions described in the indenture governing the notes are satisfied, in which case the Company will be entitled to pay interest for such period by increasing the principal amount of the notes or by issuing new notes (such increase being referred to as “PIK,” or paid-in-kind interest) to the extent described in the indenture.
The indenture governing the 9.625% notes contains nonfinancial covenants that include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends or distributions, repurchase equity, prepay junior debt, make certain investments, incur additional debt, issue certain stock, incur liens on property, merge, consolidate or sell certain assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, and allow to exist certain restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to TransUnion Holding. We are in compliance with all covenants under the indenture.

8.125% Notes
On November 1, 2012, the Company issued $400.0 million principal amount of 8.125%/8.875% senior unsecured PIK toggle notes (“8.125% notes”) due June 15, 2018, at an offering price of 99.5% in a private placement to certain investors. Pursuant to an exchange offer completed in August 2013, these notes were subsequently registered with the SEC. The Company is required to pay interest on the 8.125% notes in cash unless certain conditions described in the indenture governing the notes are satisfied, in which case the Company will be entitled to pay interest for such period by increasing the principal amount of the notes or by issuing new notes to the extent described in the indenture.
The indenture governing the 8.125% notes and the nonfinancial covenants are substantially identical to those governing the 9.625% notes. We are in compliance with all covenants under the indenture.

Fair Value of Debt
The estimated fair values of our 9.625% and 8.125% notes as of June 30, 2014, were $632.7 million and $418.6 million, respectively, compared with book values of $600.0 million and $398.5 million, respectively. The fair value of these fixed-rate notes, as determined under Level 2 of the fair-value hierarchy, is measured using quoted market prices of these publicly traded securities. The book value of our variable-rate debt approximates its fair value. The estimated fair value of our debt may not represent the actual settlement value due to redemption premiums and prepayment penalties that we may incur in connection with extinguishing our debt before its stated maturity.
