Transaction Financing

In connection with the Transactions, we assumed certain debt obligations and entered into certain new debt arrangements as follows:

4.625 Notes

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries guaranteed $688 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2021 bearing interest at a rate of 4.625 percent per annum (the "4.625 Notes") that were initially issued by a PPG subsidiary in connection with the Transactions. Interest on the 4.625 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, commencing on August 15, 2013. The 4.625 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and by the Company's existing and future domestic subsidiaries, other than certain excluded subsidiaries. The proceeds from the 4.625 Notes retired a $688.0 million bridge loan for which we incurred $11.0 million related to financing fees that are included in "Loss on redemption and other debt costs, net" in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Term Loan

The Company also guaranteed a $279 million term loan due 2017 originally made to the PPG subsidiary with which we merged in the Transactions (the "Term Loan").

The Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to (at the Company's election): (i) the Base Rate (as defined in the Term Loan agreement and subject to a 2 percent floor) plus 1.50 percent per annum; or (ii) the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Term Loan and subject to a 1 percent floor) plus 2.50 percent per annum. At March 31, 2013, outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan had a stated interest rate of 3.50 percent per annum.

Obligations under the Term Loan are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior secured basis, by the Company and its existing and future domestic subsidiaries, other than certain excluded subsidiaries and are secured by all the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we repaid approximately $79.0 million of the outstanding balance of the Term Loan. In connection with the repayment, we expensed approximately $1.4 million of deferred financing fees, which is included in "Loss on redemption and other debt costs, net," in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

New ABL Revolver

The Company refinanced its asset-based revolving credit facility (the "New ABL Revolver") increasing the revolver commitment from $300.0 million to $500.0 million. At the Company's election, with respect to U.S. borrowings under the New ABL Revolver, the New ABL Revolver will bear interest at a rate equal to either: (i) the higher of certain U.S. index rates; or (ii) three-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), in each case, plus an applicable margin based on the Company's utilization under the New ABL Revolver. At the election of the Company, with respect to Canadian borrowings under the New ABL Revolver, the New ABL Revolver will bear interest at a rate equal to either: (i) the higher of certain Canadian index rates; or (ii) three-month LIBOR, in each case, plus an applicable margin based on the Company's utilization under the New ABL Revolver. At March 31, 2013, the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding New ABL Revolver balance was 2.6 percent and our availability was approximately $349.8 million, net of $139.0 million outstanding balance and letters of credit of $11.2 million.

The New ABL Revolver is fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior secured basis, by each of the Company's existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect domestic subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries). Canadian borrowing obligations under the New ABL Revolver are unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company's existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect domestic and Canadian subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries). All obligations under the New ABL Revolver, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by substantially all of the Company's assets and the assets of the guarantors.

The indenture governing the 4.625 Notes, the Term Loan and the New ABL Revolver each contain customary covenants, including certain restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries to pay dividends. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. In connection with the issuance of the 4.625 Notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which we and the guarantors agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to file an exchange offer registration statement registering exchange notes and to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the exchange offer within 560 calendar days following the closing of the 4.625 Notes offering.

9 Percent Note Retirement and 4.875 Note Issuance

In February 2013 we retired our then outstanding 9 percent notes with the proceeds of a new debt issuance. Additional information about those transactions is as follows:

4.875 Note Issuance

On February 1, 2013, we issued $450.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2023 (the "4.875 Notes") which bear interest at a rate of 4.875 percent per annum. Interest on the 4.875 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on May 15, 2013. The 4.875 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by each of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries, other than certain excluded subsidiaries.

9 Percent Notes Tender Offer and Redemption

We used the net proceeds from the offering of the 4.875 Notes, together with cash on hand, to fund the repurchase of our 9 percent senior secured notes due 2017 (the "9 percent notes") in a tender offer and related consent solicitation (the "Tender Offer") for an aggregate tender price of $502.3 million including a make whole payment of $55.4 million. We accounted for the repurchase of the 9 percent notes as an extinguishment. In addition, we expensed approximately $8.5 million of deferred financing fees and incurred charges of $2.2 million associated with the Tender Offer. These costs are included in "Loss on redemption and other debt costs, net," in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Lease Financing Obligation

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had a lease financing obligation of $110.0 million and $112.3 million, respectively. The change from the December 31, 2012 balance is due to the change in the Canadian dollar exchange rate for the period ended March 31, 2013. The lease financing obligation is the result of the sale and concurrent leaseback of certain land and buildings in Canada in 2007 for a term of ten years. In connection with this transaction, a collateralized letter of credit was issued in favor of the buyer-lessor resulting in the transaction being recorded as a financing transaction rather than a sale for GAAP purposes. As a result, the land, building and related accounts continue to be recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amount of the collateralized letter of credit was $3.8 million and $5.9 million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. We are not obligated to repay the lease financing obligation amount of $110.0 million. Our obligation is for the future minimum lease payments under the terms of the related lease agreements. The future minimum lease payments under the terms of the related lease agreements at March 31, 2013 are $5.8 million in 2013, $7.7 million in 2014, $7.9 million in 2015, $8.0 million in 2016 and $2.0 million in 2017, the final year of the lease agreements. The change in the future minimum lease payments from such amounts disclosed at December 31, 2012 is due to current period payments and the change in the Canadian dollar exchange rate as of March 31, 2013.
