Significant Funding and Liquidity Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we completed the following transactions in order to enhance our total liquidity position:
Repaid $233.9 million of 5.00% 2010 private placement notes;
Repaid the remaining outstanding balance of $190.0 million of the term loan assumed in connection with the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in TOP CV.
Issued €200 million aggregate principal amount of 4.500% Euro Denominated Notes due June 30, 2025. In the event of the spin-off of our Technip Energies business segment followed, within three months of the
effective date of the spin-off, by a downgrade by a nationally recognized rating agency of the corporate rating of TechnipFMC from an investment grade to a non-investment grade rating or a withdrawal of any such rating, the interest rate applicable to the Euro Denominated Notes will be increased to 5.75%;

Entered into a new, six-month €500 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility agreement, which may be extended for two additional three-month periods (the “Euro Facility”); and
Entered into the Bank of England’s COVID Corporate Financing Facility program (the “CCFF Program”), which allows us to issue up to £600 million of unsecured commercial paper notes.
Credit Facilities and Debt
Revolving credit facility - On January 17, 2017, we acceded to a new $2.5 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility agreement (“Facility Agreement”) between FMC Technologies, Inc., Technip Eurocash SNC, and TechnipFMC plc (the “Borrowers”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPMorgan”), as agent and an arranger, SG Americas Securities LLC as an arranger, and the lenders party thereto.
The Facility Agreement provides for the establishment of a multicurrency, revolving credit facility, which includes a $1.5 billion letter of credit subfacility. Subject to certain conditions, the Borrowers may request the aggregate commitments under the facility agreement be increased by an additional $500.0 million. On November 26, 2018, we entered into an agreement which extends the expiration date to January 2023.
Borrowings under the Facility Agreement bear interest at the following rates, plus an applicable margin, depending on currency:
U.S. dollar-denominated loans bear interest, at the Borrowers’ option, at a base rate or an adjusted rate linked to the London interbank offered rate (“Adjusted LIBOR”);
sterling-denominated loans bear interest at Adjusted LIBOR; and
euro-denominated loans bear interest at the Euro interbank offered rate (“EURIBOR”).
Depending on our credit rating, the applicable margin for revolving loans varies (i) in the case of Adjusted LIBOR and EURIBOR loans, from 0.820% to 1.300% and (ii) in the case of base rate loans, from 0.000% to 0.300%. The “base rate” is the highest of (a) the prime rate announced by JPMorgan, (b) the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and the Overnight Bank Funding Rate plus 0.50% or (c) one-month Adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00%. As of September 30, 2020, there were no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
Euro Facility – On May 19, 2020, we entered into the Euro Facility with HSBC France, as agent, and the lenders party thereto, which provides for the establishment of a six-month revolving credit facility denominated in Euros with total commitments of €500 million, which may be extended by us for two additional three-month periods. Borrowings under the Euro Facility bear interest at the Euro interbank offered rate for a period equal in length to the interest period of a given loan (which may be three or six months), plus an applicable margin. As of September 30, 2020, there were no outstanding borrowings under Euro Facility.
On June 12, 2020, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Facility Agreement and into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement to our Euro Facility. The amendments, which are effective through the respective expirations of the Facility Agreement and Euro Facility, permit us to include the gross book value of $3.2 billion of goodwill (fully impaired in the quarter ended March 31, 2020) in the calculation of consolidated net worth, which is used in the calculation of our quarterly compliance with the total capitalization ratio under the Facility Agreement and Euro Facility.
The Facility Agreement and Euro Facility contain usual and customary covenants, representations and warranties, and events of default for credit facilities of this type, including financial covenants requiring that our total capitalization ratio not exceed 60% at the end of any financial quarter. The Facility Agreement and Euro Facility also contain covenants restricting our ability and our subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional liens and indebtedness, enter into asset sales, or make certain investments.
As of September 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all restrictive covenants under our credit facilities.
CCFF Program - On May 19, 2020, we entered into a dealer agreement (the “Dealer Agreement”) with Bank of America Merrill Lynch International DAC (the “Dealer”) and an Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement (the “Agency Agreement”, and together with the Dealer Agreement, the “Agreements”) with Bank of America, National Association, London Branch, relating to the European commercial paper program established under the CCFF Program as a source of additional liquidity.
The Agreements provide the terms under which we may issue, and the Dealer will arrange for, the sale of short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes (the “Notes”) to reduce existing debt or decrease overall borrowing costs. The Notes contain customary representations, warranties, covenants, defaults, and indemnification provisions, and will be sold at such discounts from their face amounts as shall be agreed between us and the Dealer. The Notes will be fully payable at maturity, and the maturities of the Notes will vary but may not exceed 364 days. The principal amount of outstanding Notes may not exceed £600 million. The Agency Agreement provides for the terms of issuance and payment of the Notes. As of September 30, 2020, our commercial paper borrowings under the CCFF Program had a weighted average interest rate of 0.43%. As of September 30, 2020, we had $769.6 million of Notes outstanding and recorded as long-term borrowings under the CCFF Program because we had the ability and intent to refinance the obligation due March 2021.
Bilateral credit facility - We have access to a €100.0 million bilateral credit facility expiring in May 2021.
The bilateral credit facility contains usual and customary covenants, representations and warranties and events of default for credit facilities of this type.
As of September 30, 2020, there were no outstanding borrowings under our bilateral credit facility.
Commercial paper - Under our commercial paper program, we have the ability to access $1.5 billion and €1.0 billion of short-term financing through our commercial paper dealers, subject to the limit of unused capacity of our revolving facility agreement. As we have both the ability and intent to refinance these obligations on a long-term basis, our commercial paper borrowings were classified as long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Commercial paper borrowings are issued at market interest rates. As of September 30, 2020, our commercial paper borrowings had a weighted average interest rate of 0.35% on the U.S. dollar denominated borrowings and 0.06% on the Euro denominated borrowings. As of September 30, 2020, we had $737.8 million of outstanding commercial paper borrowings under this program.
Bank borrowings - In December 2016, we entered into a £160.0 million term loan agreement to finance the Deep Explorer, a diving support vessel (“DSV”), maturing December 2028. Under the loan agreement, interest accrues at an annual rate of 2.813%. This loan agreement contains usual and customary covenants and events of default for loans of this type.
In January 2019, we executed a sale-leaseback transaction to finance the purchase of a deepwater DSV, Deep Discoverer (the “Vessel”) for the full transaction price of $116.8 million. The sale-leaseback agreement was entered into with a French joint-stock company owned by Credit Industrial et Commercial which was formed for the sole purpose to purchase and act as the lessor of the Vessel. It is a VIE, which is fully consolidated in our condensed consolidated financial statements. The transaction was funded through debt of $96.2 million which is primarily long-term, expiring on January 8, 2031.
Foreign committed credit - We have committed credit lines at many of our international subsidiaries for immaterial amounts. We utilize these facilities for asset financing and to provide a more efficient daily source of liquidity. The effective interest rates depend upon the local national market.
