During 2016, the company retired an aggregate principal amount of $115.0 million of its 6.25% senior notes due 2017. The company used cash on hand to fund the retirement of this debt. As a result of this retirement, the company recognized charges in "Other income (expense), net" of $4.0 million ($3.6 million of premium paid and $0.4 million for the write-off of issuance costs).

On March 15, 2016, the company issued $190.0 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 (the notes). On April 13, 2016, the company issued an additional $23.5 million of the notes pursuant to an over-allotment option exercised by the initial purchasers to buy additional notes, for a total of $213.5 million of notes issued. The notes, which are senior unsecured obligations, bear interest at a coupon rate of 5.50% (or 9.5% effective interest rate) per year until maturity, payable semiannually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2016. The notes are not redeemable prior to maturity and are convertible into shares of the company’s common stock. The conversion rate for the notes is 102.4249 shares of the company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes (or a total amount of 21,867,716 shares), which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $9.76 per share of the company’s common stock. Upon any conversion, the company will settle its conversion obligation in cash, shares of its common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at its election.

In connection with the issuances of the notes, the company also paid $27.3 million to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions with the initial purchasers and/or affiliates of the initial purchasers. The capped call transactions will cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of the company’s common stock that will initially underlie the notes. The capped call transactions will effectively raise the conversion premium on the notes from approximately 22.5% to approximately 60%, which raises the initial conversion price from approximately $9.76 per share of common stock to approximately $12.75 per share of common stock. The capped call transactions are expected to reduce potential dilution to the company’s common stock and/or offset potential cash payments the company is required to make in excess of the principal amount upon any conversion of the notes.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 470-20, a convertible debt instrument that may be settled entirely or partially in cash is required to be separated into a liability and equity component, such that interest expense reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt interest rate. Upon issuance, (i) a debt discount of $33.6 million was recognized as a decrease in debt and an increase in additional-paid in capital and (ii) the cost of the capped call transactions of $27.3 million was recognized as a decrease in cash and a decrease in additional paid-in capital. The debt component will accrete up to the principal amount and will be recognized as non-cash interest expense over the expected term of the notes. In 2016, $14.5 million was recorded as interest expense on such convertible debt, which includes the contractual interest coupon: ($9.2 million), amortization of the debt discount: ($4.3 million), and amortization of the debt issuance costs: ($1.0 million).

The company has a secured revolving credit facility expiring in June 2018, that provides for loans and letters of credit up to an aggregate amount of $150.0 million (with a limit on letters of credit of $100.0 million). At December 31, 2016, the company had no borrowings and $11.3 million letters of credit outstanding under this facility. Borrowing limits under the facility are based upon the amount of eligible U.S. accounts receivable. At December 31, 2016, availability under the facility was $102.5 million net of letters of credit issued. Borrowings under the facility bear interest based on short term rates. The credit agreement contains customary representations and warranties, including that there has been no material adverse change in the company’s business, properties, operations or financial condition. The company is required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio if the availability under the credit facility falls below the greater of 12.5% of the lenders’ commitments under the facility and $18.75 million. The credit agreement allows the company to pay dividends on its capital stock in an amount up to $22.5 million per year unless the company is in default and to, among other things, repurchase its equity, prepay other debt, incur other debt or liens, dispose of assets and make acquisitions, loans and investments, provided the company complies with certain requirements and limitations set forth in the agreement. Events of default include non-payment, failure to comply with covenants, materially incorrect representations and warranties, change of control and default under other debt aggregating at least $50.0 million. The credit facility is guaranteed by Unisys Holding Corporation, Unisys NPL, Inc., Unisys AP Investment Company I and any future material domestic subsidiaries. The facility is secured by the assets of Unisys Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors, other than certain excluded assets. The company may elect to prepay or terminate the credit facility without penalty.

At December 31, 2016, the company has met all covenants and conditions under its various lending agreements. The company expects to continue to meet these covenants and conditions.

The company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash from operations and its revolving credit facility, discussed above. The company and certain international subsidiaries have access to uncommitted lines of credit from various banks.

The company’s anticipated future cash expenditures include anticipated contributions to its defined benefit pension plans. The company believes that it has adequate sources of liquidity to meet its expected 2017 cash requirements.
