Financing Arrangements

Financing in connection with Tyco Merger and subsequent activities

Simultaneously with the closing of the Tyco Merger on September 2, 2016, TSarl borrowed $4.0 billion under the Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of March 10, 2016 with a syndicate of lenders, providing for a three and a half year senior unsecured term loan facility to finance the cash consideration for, and fees, expenses and costs incurred in connection with the Merger. During fiscal 2017, the Company partially repaid $300 million of the $4.0 billion floating rate term loan scheduled to expire in March 2020. In October 2017, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its Scott Safety business to 3M. Net cash proceeds from the transaction of approximately $1.9 billion were used to repay a significant portion of the TSarl $4.0 billion of merger related debt. In March 2018, the Company repaid $26 million in principal amount, plus accrued interest. In April 2018, the Company refinanced approximately $400 million of the TSarl merger related debt with commercial paper.
