2019 Financing Activities
2019-1 Spare Engine Enhanced Equipment Trust Certificates
In June 2019, American created pass-through trusts which issued $650 million in aggregate face amount of 2019-1 Engine EETCs (the 2019-1 Engine EETCs), with maturities from June 2022 to June 2026. All of the proceeds received by such pass-through trusts from the sale of the 2019-1 Engine EETCs have been used to acquire equipment notes issued by American to the pass-through trusts. The pass-through trust certificates represent the right to payment under the equipment notes that are full-recourse obligations of American and such equipment notes are secured by spare aircraft engines currently owned and operated by American.
Equipment Notes Issued in 2019
In the first six months of 2019, American entered into agreements under which it borrowed $1.1 billion in connection with the financing or refinancing, as the case may be, of certain aircraft, of which $464 million was used to repay existing indebtedness. Debt incurred under these agreements matures in 2024 through 2031 and bears interest at variable rates (comprised of LIBOR plus an applicable margin) averaging 3.86% at June 30, 2019.
5.000% Senior Notes
In May 2019, AAG issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 5.000% senior notes due 2022 (the 5.000% senior notes). These notes bear interest at a rate of 5.000% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2019. The 5.000% senior notes are senior unsecured obligations of AAG. The 5.000% senior notes mature on June 1, 2022 and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by American. The indenture for the 5.000% senior notes contains covenants and events of default generally customary for similar financings. In addition, if AAG experiences a specified change of control, AAG must offer to repurchase the 5.000% senior notes in whole or in part at a repurchase price of 101% of the aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the repurchase date. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default, the 5.000% senior notes may be accelerated and become due and payable immediately.
