Note 6.  Debt

 

On October 4, 2013, Textron entered into a senior unsecured revolving credit facility for an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion, of which up to $100 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit. This facility expires in October 2018 and replaced the existing 4-year facility that was scheduled to expire in March 2015. At September 28, 2013, there were no amounts borrowed against the prior facility.

 

4.50% Convertible Senior Notes and Related Transactions

On May 1, 2013, our remaining convertible senior notes matured, and we paid the holders of the notes $215 million in settlement of the face value of the notes.  In addition, we issued 8.9 million shares of our common stock to converting holders in settlement of the excess of the conversion value over the face value of the notes; however, after giving effect to the exercise of the related call options and warrants discussed below, the incremental share settlement in excess of the face value of the notes resulted in a 7.4 million net share issuance.

 

Concurrently with the pricing of the convertible notes in May 2009, we entered into transactions with two counterparties, pursuant to which we purchased from the counterparties call options to acquire our common stock and sold to the counterparties warrants to purchase our common stock.   The call options settled on May 1, 2013, while the warrants settled daily over a 45-day period beginning on February 27, 2013.  We acquired 8.9 million shares of our common stock upon the settlement of the call options and issued an aggregate of 7.4 million shares of our common stock in connection with the settlement of the warrants during the first half of 2013.  The settlement of the call options and warrants resulted in a $39 million net increase in treasury stock during 2013.

 

As disclosed in Note 8 of our 2012 Form 10-K, we previously entered into capped call transactions with the counterparties that covered an aggregate of 28.7 million shares of our common stock as of the end of 2012.  The capped calls had a strike price of $13.125 per share and a cap price of $15.75 per share, which entitled us to receive the per share value of our stock price in excess of $13.125 up to a maximum stock price of $15.75 at the expiration date.  Upon expiration of the capped calls, the market price of our common stock exceeded the maximum stock price, and we received $75 million in cash from the counterparties.
