(a) |
All interest rates are as
of the latest balance sheet date for which there is an outstanding
debt balance. The debt table does not include the impact of our
foreign currency and interest rate swaps. At November 30,
2011, 56%, 41% and 3% (60%, 37% and 3% at November 30, 2010)
of our debt was U.S. dollar, euro and sterling-denominated,
respectively, including the effect of foreign currency swaps.
Substantially all of our debt agreements, including our main
revolving credit facility, contain one or more financial covenants
that require us, among other things, to maintain minimum debt
service coverage and minimum shareholders’ equity and to
limit our debt to capital and debt to equity ratios and the amounts
of our secured assets and secured and other indebtedness.
Generally, if an event of default under any debt agreement occurs,
then pursuant to cross default acceleration clauses, substantially
all of our outstanding debt and derivative contract payables (see
Note 10) could become due, and all debt and derivative contracts
could be terminated. At November 30, 2011, we believe we were
in compliance with all of our debt covenants. |
(b) |
Includes an aggregate $3.5
billion of debt whose interest rate would increase upon a downgrade
of the long-term senior unsecured credit ratings of Carnival
Corporation or Carnival plc from BBB+ to BBB, or A3 to Baa2, and
will increase further upon additional credit rating downgrades,
exclusive of the amount shown in Note (g). |
(c) |
In 2011, we borrowed $583
million under an unsecured export credit facility, the proceeds of
which were used to pay for a portion of Carnival
Magic’s purchase price. This facility bears interest at
LIBOR plus a margin of 160 basis points (“bps”) and is
due in semi-annual installments through April 2023. |
(d) |
In 2011, we repaid $300
million of an unsecured floating rate export credit facility that
was borrowed to pay for a portion of Queen Elizabeth’s
purchase price prior to its maturity dates through
2022. |
(e) |
In 2011, we borrowed $406
million under an unsecured euro-denominated export credit facility,
the proceeds of which were used to pay for a portion of
AIDAsol’s purchase price. This facility bears interest
at EURIBOR plus a margin of 20 bps and is due in semi-annual
installments through March 2023. In addition, in 2011 Costa
borrowed $209 million under an unsecured euro-denominated export
credit facility, which bears interest at EURIBOR plus a margin of
98 bps and is due in semi-annual installments through October
2026. |
(f) |
Includes a $150 million
bank loan that currently carries a fixed interest rate. However,
the loan can be converted to a floating interest rate at the option
of the lenders. |
(g) |
Includes an aggregate $600
million of bank loans whose interest rate, and in the case of our
main revolver its commitment fees, would increase upon a downgrade
in the long-term senior unsecured credit ratings of Carnival
Corporation or Carnival plc from A3 to Baa1, and will increase
further upon additional credit rating downgrades. |
(h) |
In 2011, we repaid $150
million of an unsecured floating rate bank loan prior to its 2013
maturity date. In addition, in 2011 we borrowed an aggregate $500
million under four unsecured floating rate bank loans that mature
through October 2016. |
(i) |
In 2011, we repaid $136
million of an unsecured floating rate euro-denominated bank loan
prior to its 2014 maturity date. |
