Significant Funding and Liquidity Activities
During 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% 2020 Private Placement Notes due June 30, 2025. Within three months of the effective date of the Spin-off of Technip Energies, if there is 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 2020 Private Placement 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 (the “Borrowers”), and TechnipFMC plc (the “Additional Borrower”) 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 extension 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 the credit rating of TechnipFMC, 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 0.5% or (c) one-month Adjusted LIBOR plus 1.0%. As of December 31, 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 December 31, 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 December 31, 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 December 31, 2020, our commercial paper borrowings under the CCFF Program had a weighted average interest rate of 0.43%. As of December 31, 2020, we had $817.9 million of Notes outstanding and recorded as long-term borrowings under the CCFF Program. When we have both the ability and intent to refinance certain obligations on a long-term basis, the obligations are classified as long-term, as such, the outstanding borrowings of the CCFF Program were classified as long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020.
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 December 31, 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 facility agreement. When we have both the ability and intent to refinance certain obligations on a long-term basis, the obligations are classified as long-term, as such, the commercial paper borrowings were classified as long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Commercial paper borrowings are issued at market interest rates. As of December 31, 2020, our commercial paper borrowings had a weighted average interest rate of 0.34% on the U.S. dollar denominated borrowings and (0.06)% on the Euro denominated borrowings. As of December 31, 2020, we had $708.0 million of outstanding commercial paper borrowings under this program.
Synthetic bonds - On January 25, 2016, we issued €375.0 million principal amount of 0.875% convertible bonds with a maturity date of January 25, 2021 and a redemption at par of the bonds which have not been converted. On March 3, 2016, we issued additional convertible bonds for a principal amount of €75.0 million issued on the same terms, fully fungible with and assimilated to the bonds issued on January 25, 2016. The issuance of these non-dilutive cash-settled convertible bonds (“Synthetic Bonds”), which are linked to our ordinary shares were backed simultaneously by the purchase of cash-settled equity call options in order to hedge our economic exposure to the potential exercise of the conversion rights embedded in the Synthetic Bonds. As the Synthetic Bonds could only be cash settled, they did not result in the issuance of new ordinary shares or the delivery of existing ordinary shares upon conversion. Interest on the Synthetic Bonds is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 25 and July 25 of each year, beginning July 26, 2016. The synthetic bonds were repaid during the first quarter of 2021.

Senior Notes - We have outstanding 3.45% $500.0 million senior notes due October 1, 2022 (the “Senior Notes”). The terms of the Senior Notes are governed by the indenture, dated as of March 29, 2017 between TechnipFMC and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture between TechnipFMC and the Trustee (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) relating to the issuance of the 2017 Notes and the Second Supplemental Indenture between TechnipFMC and the Trustee (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”) relating to the issuance of the 2022 Notes.
At any time prior to July 1, 2022, in the case of the 2022 Notes, we may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at the redemption prices specified in the First Supplemental Indenture and Second Supplemental Indenture, respectively. At any time on or after July 1, 2022, we may redeem the 2022 Notes at the redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2022 Notes redeemed. The Senior Notes are our senior unsecured obligations. The Senior Notes will rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsubordinated debt, and will rank senior in right of payment to all of our future subordinated debt.

2020 Issuance:
During 2020, we completed the private placement of €200 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Private Placement Notes.

In addition, within three months of the effective date of the Spin-off of Technip Energies, if there is 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 2020 Private Placement Notes will be increased to 5.75%.

In the event of a change of control resulting in a downgrade in the rating of the notes below BBB-, the 2013 and 2012 Private Placement Notes may be redeemed early at the request of any bondholder, at its sole discretion. The 2013 and 2012 Private Placement Notes are our unsecured obligations. The 2013 and 2012 Private Placement Notes will rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsubordinated debt.
Term loan - 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.
Bank borrowings - In January 2019, we executed a sale-leaseback transaction to finance the purchase of a deepwater dive support vessel, Deep Discoverer (the “Vessel”) for the full transaction price of $116.8 million. The sale-leaseback agreement (“Charter”) was entered into with a French joint-stock company, owned by Credit Industrial et Commercial (“CIC”) which was formed for the sole purpose to purchase and act as the lessor of the Vessel. It is a variable interest entity, 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.
