Credit Facility
We had a credit agreement with financial institutions, which provided a revolving line of credit of $1 billion, a 5-year term loan of $500 million (the Initial Term Loan), and a delayed draw 5-year term loan commitment of $750 million (the Delayed Draw Term Loan). An amendment to the credit agreement (the First Amendment) also provided for an incremental increase under the Initial Term Loan of $525 million. All term loans and revolver credit facilities were to mature in May 2026, and the credit facilities remained senior secured.
The principal amount of the Initial Term Loan and the additional borrowings under the First Amendment were to be repaid in quarterly installments on the last business day of each calendar quarter in an amount equal to 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount as of the date of the First Amendment. The principal amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loan were to be repaid in quarterly installments on the last business day of each calendar quarter in an amount equal to 1.25% of aggregate principal amount as of the borrowing date of the Delayed Draw Term Loan.
Interest on borrowings under the credit agreement were based on a base rate or the LIBOR at our election. Based on our debt ratings and our consolidated leverage ratios as determined in accordance with the credit agreement, loans borrowed bore interest, in the case of base rate loans, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.125% to 0.75%, and in the case of LIBOR loans, LIBOR, as adjusted for statutory reserves, plus a margin ranging from 1.125% to 1.75%. The unused revolving line of credit was subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.30% per annum.
On September 12, 2022, we fully repaid the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Initial Term Loan and Delay Draw Term Loan, which had an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $1,703 million. In addition, we paid $3 million of accrued and unpaid interest through the redemption date. The repayments resulted in a loss on extinguishment of $2 million. We also terminated our undrawn revolving line of credit of $1,000 million, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of $4 million.
Senior credit facilities
Upon the close of the Merger, on September 12, 2022, we entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement) with certain financial institutions, in which they agreed to provide us with (i) a $1,500 million revolving credit facility (Revolving Facility), (ii) a $3,910 million term loan A facility (Term A Facility), (iii) a $3,690 million term loan B facility (Term B Facility) and (iv) a $750 million tranche A bridge loan (Bridge Loan) (collectively, the senior credit facilities). The Bridge Loan was undrawn and immediately terminated upon the Merger’s close, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of $3 million. The Credit Agreement provides that we have the right at any time, subject to customary conditions, to request incremental revolving commitments and incremental term loans up to an unlimited amount, subject to certain customary conditions precedent and other provisions. The lenders under these facilities will not be under any obligation to provide any such incremental loans or commitments. We drew down the aggregate principal amounts of the Term A Facility and Term B Facility to finance the cash consideration payable for the transaction and to fully repay the outstanding principal and accrued interest of the existing credit facilities. The Credit Agreement replaced the existing credit facilities upon the close of the transaction. The Revolving Facility and Term A Facility will mature in September 2027, and the Term Facility B will mature in September 2029; the senior credit facilities remain senior secured.
The principal amounts of Term A Facility must be repaid in quarterly installments on the last business day of each calendar quarter equal to 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount as of the date of the Credit Agreement. The principal amounts of Term Facility B must be repaid in quarterly installments on the last business day of each calendar quarter equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount as of the date of the Credit Agreement. Quarterly installment payments commence on March 31, 2023. We may voluntarily repay outstanding principal balances under the Revolving Facility and both Term Loan facilities without penalty. As of March 31, 2023, there were no borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Facility; however, from time to time we utilize letters of credits as part of our ordinary course of business. Letters of credit reduce our Revolving Facility commitment amounts.
Interest on borrowings under the Credit Agreement can be based on a base rate or the SOFR at our election. Based on our debt ratings and our consolidated leverage ratios as determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement, loans borrowed bear interest, in the case of base rate loans, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable base rate plus CSA plus a margin ranging from 0.125% to 0.75%, and in the case of the SOFR loans, SOFR, as adjusted for statutory reserves, plus a margin ranging from 1.125% to 1.75%.
On January 19, 2023 and April 28, 2023, we made a voluntary prepayment of $250 million and $150 million, respectively, pursuant to Section 2.05(a) of the Credit Agreement dated September 12, 2022. The prepayment amount was applied exclusively to the Term B Facility.
Debt covenant compliance
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants. Each of the Revolving Facility and Term A Facility will be subject to a covenant that we maintain a consolidated leverage ratio less than or equal to (i) 6.0 to 1.0 from the Closing Date through the last day of the fourth full fiscal quarter following the Closing Date, (ii) 5.75 to 1.0 following the last day of the fourth fiscal quarter after the Closing Date through the last day of the eighth full fiscal quarter following the Closing Date and (iii) 5.25 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter thereafter; provided that such maximum consolidated leverage ratio will increase to 5.75 to 1.0 for the four fiscal quarters ending immediately should we acquire property, business or assets in an aggregate amount greater than $250 million.
In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary events of default under which our payment obligations may be accelerated, including, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or other amounts when due, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, violation of certain covenants, payment and acceleration cross defaults with certain other indebtedness, certain undischarged judgments, bankruptcy, insolvency or inability to pay debts, change of control, the occurrence of certain events related to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), and the Company experiencing a change of control. As of March 31, 2023 we were in compliance with all debt covenants.
Senior Notes
On February 9, 2017, we issued $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of our 5.0% Senior Notes due April 15, 2025 (the 5.0% Senior Notes). The 5.0% Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.00% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2017.
On or after April 15, 2020, we may redeem some or all of the 5.0% Senior Notes at the applicable redemption prices set forth in the supplemental indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
In addition, we had two series of senior notes, the 4.2% Senior Notes and 3.95% Senior Notes, that are senior unsecured obligations that rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior, unsecured, unsubordinated obligations and may be redeemed at any time, subject to the make-whole provisions contained in the applicable indenture relating to such series of notes. Interest on each series of these notes is payable semi-annually in arrears, on September 15 and March 15 for the 4.2% Senior Notes, and June 15 and December 15 for the 3.95% Senior Notes.
On September 15, 2020, we fully repaid the principal and accrued interest under the 4.2% Senior Notes due September 2020, which had an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $750 million.
On June 1, 2022, we fully repaid the principal and accrued interest under the 3.95% Senior Notes due June 2022, which had an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $400 million. In addition, we paid $7 million of accrued and unpaid interest through the redemption date.
On September 19, 2022, we issued two series of senior notes, consisting of 6.75% Senior Notes due 2027 and 7.125% Senior Notes due 2030, for an aggregate principal of $1,500 million. They are senior unsecured obligations that rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior, unsecured, unsubordinated obligations and may be redeemed at any time, subject to the make-whole provisions contained in the applicable indenture relating to such series of notes. Interest on these series of notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 31 and September 30 for both the 6.75% Senior Notes and 7.125% Senior Notes, commencing on March 31, 2023. We may redeem some or all of the 6.75% Senior Notes due 2027 and 7.125% Senior Notes due 2030 at any time, subject to a prepayment penalty that expires one year prior to the maturity of each respective note. The First Call Dates of the 6.75% Senior Notes due 2027 and 7.125% Senior Notes due 2030 are September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2025, respectively.
Convertible Senior Notes
On March 4, 2016, we issued $500 million of convertible notes which would mature on April 1, 2021 and bear interest at an annual rate of 2.5% (2.5% Convertible Notes). On August 1, 2016, we issued an additional $1.25 billion of convertible notes which would mature on August 15, 2021 and bear interest at an annual rate of 2.0% (2.0% Convertible Notes and collectively, Convertible Senior Notes). As of March 29, 2019, the principal amount and associated unamortized discount and issuance costs of the 2.5% Convertible Notes were classified as current because upon the four year anniversary of the issuance of the notes, holders of thereof had the option to require us to repurchase the notes, in cash, equal to the principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of the 2.5% Convertible Notes (the Repurchase Right).
On November 11, 2019, we amended the Convertible Senior Notes agreements to provide that, if and when we pay a special dividend of $12 to our stockholders, we would exchange $250 million of the principal amount underlying the 2.5% Convertible Notes for new notes to be issued pursuant to a new indenture (the New 2.5% Convertible Notes) and would also pay cash consideration of $12 for each share underlying the New 2.5% Convertible Notes, and exchange $625 million of the principal amount underlying the 2.0% Convertible Notes for new notes to be issued pursuant to a new indenture (the New 2.0% Convertible Notes) and would also pay cash consideration of $12 for each share underlying the New 2.0% Convertible Notes, in each case in lieu of conversion price adjustments (the Cash Note Payments). The remaining principal of the Convertible Senior Notes would receive a conversion price adjustment with respect to such special dividend.
The special dividend was payable to stockholders on January 31, 2020. On February 4, 2020, we issued the New 2.5% Convertible Notes, maturing on April 1, 2022, and the New 2.0% Convertible Notes, which mature on August 15, 2022, pursuant to two new indentures, and made the Cash Note Payments. The new Notes are convertible into cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and common stock, at the Company’s option, at an initial conversion rate for the New 2.50% Convertible Notes of 59.6341 per $1,000 principal amount of the New 2.50% Convertible Notes (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $16.77 per share) and an initial conversion rate for the New 2.00% Convertible Notes of 48.9860 per $1,000 principal amount of the New 2.00% Convertible Notes (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $20.41 per share), in each case subject to certain limitations and certain adjustments. The Cash Note Payments consisted of $179 million with respect to holders of the New 2.5% Convertible Notes and $367 million with respect to holders of the New 2.0% Convertible Notes. The exchange of the convertible notes was accounted for as extinguishment of debt and the consideration comprising the Cash Note Payments were recorded as charges to paid in capital. We recognized a gain of $2 million related to the exchange.
After giving effect to the conversion rate adjustment that was made in connection with the payment of the special dividend on January 31, 2020, the conversion rate for the remaining $250 million of the 2.5% Convertible Notes was 118.9814 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, which represents an adjusted conversion price of approximately $8.40 per share and the conversion rate for the remaining $625 million of the 2.0% Convertible Notes was 97.7364 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, which represented an adjusted conversion price of approximately $10.23 per share.
In addition, in connection with the amendments, the maturity dates of the 2.5% Convertible Notes and the 2.0% Convertible Notes were extended to April 1, 2022 and August 15, 2022, respectively. Holders of the Convertible Senior Notes would only be able to convert the notes in a period of six months prior to the extended maturity dates; and the Redemption Right and Repurchase Right were removed.
On March 5, 2020, we entered into an agreement to repay the full $250 million of principal and conversion rights of the 2.5% Convertible Notes for an aggregate amount of $566 million in cash. The payment was based on $19 per underlying share into which the 2.5% Convertible Notes were convertible. In addition, we paid $2 million of accrued and unpaid interest through the date of settlement, and $1 million in lieu of a proration of the cash dividend declared on February 6, 2020. The extinguishment was settled on March 10, 2020 and resulted in an adjustment to stockholders’ equity of $316 million and a loss on extinguishment of $1 million.
On May 26, 2020, we settled the $625 million principal and conversion rights of the 2.0% Convertible Senior Notes in cash. The aggregate settlement amount of $1,176 million was based on $19.25 per underlying share into which the 2.0% Convertible Notes were convertible. In addition, we paid $3 million of accrued and unpaid interest through the date of settlement. The extinguishment resulted in an adjustment to stockholders’ equity of $578 million and a gain on extinguishment of $20 million.
On May 20, 2021, we settled the $250 million principal and conversion rights of the New 2.5% Convertible Senior Notes in cash. The aggregate settlement amount of $364 million was based on $24.40 per underlying share into which the 2.5% Convertible Notes were convertible. In addition, we paid $1 million of accrued and unpaid interest through the date of settlement and $1 million of cash dividends that we declared on May 10, 2021. The extinguishment resulted in an adjustment to stockholders’ equity of $112 million and a loss on extinguishment of $2 million.
On March 18, 2022, we settled $100 million of principal and conversion rights of the New 2.0% Convertible Senior Notes in cash. The aggregate settlement amount of $139 million was based on $28.32 per underlying share into which the New 2.0% Convertible Notes were convertible. The extinguishment resulted in an adjustment to stockholders’ equity of $40 million and a gain on extinguishment of $1 million.
As described in Note 2, on April 2, 2022, we adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective method. Prior to the adoption of this guidance, we accounted for our convertible debt instruments under the cash conversion model, requiring the convertible notes to be separated into an equity and liability component. We recognized $56 million in equity, net of tax, which consisted of $9 million in debt discount, representing the difference between the fair value of the liability component and par value, and $47 million in substantial premium due to the fiscal year 2020 amendment, which was accounted for as a debt extinguishment and resulted in the recognition of the New 2.0% Convertible Notes.
Upon adoption of ASU 2020-06, the cash conversion model was eliminated. We de-recognized the remaining unamortized debt discount of $1 million on the New 2.0% Convertible Notes and therefore no longer recognized the related amortization as interest expense. Additionally, we recorded a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings of $6 million, net of tax, for the debt discount amortization incurred from issuance through April 2, 2022. The remaining $47 million of substantial premium remained in equity, as the new guidance did not eliminate the substantial premium model for convertible instruments.
On August 15, 2022, we settled the $525 million principal and conversion rights of our New 2.0% Convertible Notes in cash. The aggregate settlement amount of $630 million was based on $20.41 per underlying share into which the New 2.0% Convertible Notes were convertible. In addition, we paid $5 million of accrued and unpaid interest through the date of settlement. The repayments resulted in an adjustment to stockholders’ equity of $100 million. As of March 31, 2023, we have extinguished all remaining convertible debt instruments.
As of April 1, 2022, the Convertible Senior Notes consisted of the following:
