(1)Pursuant to the adoption of ASU 2020-06, we derecognized the conversion option of $34.1 million, net of tax, previously attributable to the equity component of the 2023 Convertible Notes. Similarly, the related debt discount is no longer amortized into income as interest expense over the life of the instrument; therefore, we recorded a $16.4 million increase to “Long-term debt, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022.
(2)There were no current portions of long-term debt as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The 2023 Convertible Notes due on August 15, 2023 are classified as long-term debt as of December 31, 2022 because we have the ability and intent to refinance them on a long-term basis under our Credit Facility, which matures on November 21, 2027.
2023 Convertible Notes
On August 20, 2018, we issued the 2023 Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $316.3 million. The 2023 Convertible Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.0% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2019. The 2023 Convertible Notes will mature on August 15, 2023, unless earlier converted or repurchased. As of December 31, 2021, upon conversion, the 2023 Convertible Notes could be settled, at our election, in cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. Effective January 1, 2022, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, upon conversion, the principal amount of the 2023 Convertible Notes being converted is required to be paid in cash and only the premium due upon conversion, if any, is permitted to be settled, at our election, in shares, cash or a combination of shares and cash. The 2023 Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company.
The 2023 Convertible Notes are convertible at maturity at a conversion rate of 9.8643 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2023 Convertible Notes (equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $101.38 per share of common stock). Holders may convert their 2023 Convertible Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding May 15, 2023 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2018 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the trading price (as defined in the Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of the 2023 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate in effect on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after May 15, 2023, until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date of August 15, 2023, holders may convert their 2023 Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
The 2023 Convertible Notes were convertible in each of the quarters ended September 30, 2021 through December 31, 2022. The number of shares issued upon conversion of the 2023 Convertible Notes in each period was immaterial. The circumstances required to allow the holders to convert their 2023 Convertible Notes prior to maturity were met as of December 31, 2022; therefore, holders may convert their notes at any time beginning on January 1, 2023 and ending on March 31, 2023. Based on the Company's stock price on December 31, 2022, the if-converted value of the 2023 Convertible Notes exceeded the principal amount by $179.1 million.
We may not redeem the 2023 Convertible Notes prior to the maturity date.
If we undergo a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), subject to certain conditions, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or part of their 2023 Convertible Notes in principal amounts of $1,000 or a multiple thereof. The fundamental change repurchase price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2023 Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, in certain circumstances, we may be required to increase the conversion rate for any 2023 Convertible Notes converted in connection with a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture).
Prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the Company separated the 2023 Convertible Notes into liability and equity components. The debt discount and debt issuance costs attributable to the liability component were amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2023 Convertible Notes using the effective interest rate method. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective method, which resulted in accounting for the 2023 Convertible Notes as a single liability and the debt discount is no longer amortized into income as interest expense. See Note 2, “New Accounting Standards” for additional information about the adoption of ASU 2020-06.
Contractual interest expense for the 2023 Convertible Notes was $6.3 million in each of 2022, 2021 and 2020. Amortization of the debt discount on the 2023 Convertible Notes prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06 was $9.6 million and $9.1 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Credit Facility
On June 26, 2015, we entered into a credit agreement, which provided for a $550.0 million senior secured bank revolving credit facility (“Original Credit Facility”) maturing on June 26, 2020. In November 2018, we amended and restated the credit agreement to the Original Credit Facility, to, among other things, extend the maturity to November 30, 2023 (“2018 Credit Facility”). On November 21, 2022, we amended and restated the credit agreement to the 2018 Credit Facility, to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity to November 21, 2027, (ii) increase the revolving line of credit limit from $550.0 million to $900.0 million, and (iii) increase the incremental facility from $150.0 million to a maximum of $300.0 million, subject to certain conditions (the Original Credit Facility as amended and restated by the 2018 Credit Facility and as further amended, the “Credit Facility”), and incurred an additional $4.0 million of debt issuance costs. The Credit Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of FTI Consulting and such domestic subsidiaries.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to, in the case of: (i) USD, at our option, Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, (ii) euro, Euro Interbank Offered Rate, (iii) British pound, Sterling Overnight Index Average Reference Rate, (iv) Australian dollars, Bank Bill Swap Reference Bid Rate, (v) Canadian dollars, Canadian Dollar Offered Rate, (vi) Swiss franc, Swiss Average Rate Overnight and (vii) Japanese yen, Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin that will fluctuate between 1.25% per annum and 2.00% per annum based upon the Company’s Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) at such time or, in the case of USD borrowings, an alternative base rate plus an applicable margin that will fluctuate between 0.25% per annum and 1.00% per annum based upon the Company’s Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio at such time. The alternative base rate means a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (1) the federal funds rate plus the sum of 50 basis points, (2) the rate of interest in effect for such day as the prime rate announced by Bank of America, and (3) the one-month Term SOFR plus 100 basis points.
Under the Credit Facility, we are required to pay a commitment fee rate that fluctuates between 0.20% and 0.35% per annum and a letter of credit fee rate that fluctuates between 1.25% and 2.00% per annum, in each case, based upon the Company’s Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio.
There were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. Additionally, $0.4 million of the borrowing limit was used for letters of credit (and, therefore, unavailable) as of December 31, 2022.
There were $4.3 million and $0.9 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These amounts were included in “Other assets” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Long-Term Debt Maturities
Our maturity analysis for our remaining future undiscounted cash flows for the principal portion of our long-term debt assumes that payments will be made based on the current payment schedule and excludes any additional revolving line of credit borrowings or repayments subsequent to December 31, 2022 and prior to the November 21, 2027 maturity date of our Credit Facility. We estimate future undiscounted cash flows for the principal portion of our long-term debt to be $316.2 million in 2023.
