In the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company entered into a three-year interest rate swap agreement that fixed the LIBOR-referenced portion of interest on the first $150.0 million of debt outstanding under the revolving loans at 0.7275%. As of October 30, 2022, the effective interest rate was a weighted-average rate that represented (a) interest on the Notes outstanding at a fixed rate of 1.625% and (b) interest on the debt outstanding on the revolving loans at a fixed LIBOR rate of 0.7275% plus a margin of 1.25% (total fixed rate of 1.9775%). As of January 30, 2022, the effective interest rate was a weighted-average rate that represented (a) interest on the first $150.0 million of the debt outstanding on the revolving loans at a fixed LIBOR rate of 0.7275% plus a margin of 1.25% (total fixed rate of 1.9775%), and (b) interest on the remainder of the debt outstanding on the revolving loans at a variable rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate, which was 0.11% as of January 30, 2022, plus a margin of 1.25% (total variable rate of 1.36%).
Revolving Facility
On November 7, 2019, the Company, with certain of its domestic subsidiaries as guarantors, entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement") with the lenders party thereto and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer. The borrowing capacity of the revolving loans under the senior secured first lien revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility") is $600.0 million and matures on November 7, 2024. As of October 30, 2022, the Company had $150.0 million outstanding under its Revolving Facility and $450.0 million of undrawn borrowing capacity, and the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants required under the Revolving Facility.
On August 11, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement in order to, among other things, (i) provide for contractual fallback language for LIBOR replacement to reflect the Alternative Reference Rates Committee hardwired approach and (ii) incorporate certain provisions that clarify the rights of the administrative agent to recover from lenders or other secured parties erroneous payments made to such lenders or secured parties.
On September 1, 2022, the Company entered into the second amendment to the Credit Agreement in order to, among other things, (i) permit the consummation of, and certain transactions in connection with the Arrangement, (ii) revise the financial maintenance covenant by increasing the maximum consolidated leverage ratio permitted for the six successive fiscal quarters following consummation of the Arrangement, (iii) permit the incurrence of up to $1.2 billion (plus the amount of fees and expenses related to the Arrangement) in additional secured debt in connection with the Arrangement, (iv) provide for limited conditions precedent in the event of a borrowing to finance the Arrangement and (v) make certain other changes as set forth in the amendment.
On September 26, 2022, the Company entered into the third amendment and restatement to the Credit Agreement (the "Restatement Agreement"), which substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Arrangement at the Effective Date will, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of $405.0 million of the $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of revolving commitments thereunder from November 7, 2024 to the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date (subject to, in certain circumstances, an earlier springing maturity), (ii) provide for incurrence by the Company on the Effective Date of a new five-year term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $895.0 million, intended to be used to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Arrangement and related fees and expenses, (iii) provide for JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to succeed HSBC Bank USA, National Association as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Credit Agreement on the Effective Date, (iv) modify the maximum consolidated leverage covenant as set forth in the Restatement Agreement and (v) make certain other changes as set forth in the Restatement Agreement, including changes consequential to the incorporation of the new term loan facility.
Convertible Senior Notes
On October 6, 2022 and October 21, 2022, the Company issued and sold $300.0 million and $19.5 million, respectively, in aggregate principal amount of the Notes in a private placement. The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated October 12, 2022, by and among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined below) party thereto and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The Notes will be jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company’s current and future direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”)
that guarantee its borrowings under its Credit Agreement. The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 1.625% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2023. The Notes will mature on November 1, 2027, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.
The initial conversion rate of the Notes is 26.8325 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $37.27 per share). The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the Indenture but will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture) or if the Company delivers a Notice of Sale Price Redemption (as defined in the Indenture), the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares of common stock as described in the Indenture for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or to convert its Notes called (or deemed called as provided in the Indenture) for redemption in connection with such Notice of Sale Price Redemption, as the case may be.
Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding July 1, 2027, the Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders thereof only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on January 29, 2023 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company's 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 fiscal 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 ten consecutive trading day period in which, for each trading day of that period, the Trading Price (as defined in the Indenture), as determined following a request by a holder of Notes in accordance with the procedures described in the Indenture, per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls such Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but only with respect to the Notes called (or deemed called as provided in the Indenture) for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described in the Indenture. On or after July 1, 2027 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the Notes, holders of the Notes may convert all or a portion of their Notes, regardless of the foregoing conditions. Upon conversion, the Notes will be settled in cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be converted, and in cash, shares of the Company's common stock or any combination thereof, at the Company’s option, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being converted.
The sale of the Notes closed prior to consummation of the Arrangement. If the Arrangement has not closed as of the close of business on March 3, 2023, or if, before such time, the Arrangement Agreement is terminated or the Company reasonably determines in good faith that the Arrangement will not be consummated, the Company may, at its option, redeem all (but not less than all) of the Notes on a redemption date on or prior to July 3, 2023 in cash at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, plus a premium, if any, based on the price of the Company’s common stock prior to the redemption date, as described in the Indenture.
Except as described in the preceding paragraph, the Company may not redeem the Notes prior to November 5, 2025. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes (subject to the limitation described below), at the Company’s option, on or after November 5, 2025 and before the 61st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides the related notice of sale price redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company redeems less than all the outstanding Notes, at least $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes must be outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the relevant redemption notice date. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.
Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture) prior to the maturity date of the Notes, holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (as defined in the Indenture).
Convertible Note Hedge Transactions
On October 6, 2022 and October 19, 2022, the Company entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (the “Convertible Note Hedge Transactions”) with an affiliate of one of the initial purchasers of the Notes and another financial institution (collectively, the “Counterparties”) whereby the Company has the option to purchase the same number of shares of the Company’s common stock initially underlying the Notes in the aggregate for approximately $37.27 per share, which is
subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those in the Notes. The Convertible Note Hedge Transactions will expire upon the maturity of the Notes, if not earlier exercised. The Convertible Note Hedge Transactions are expected to reduce the dilution to the common stock upon the potential conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the converted Notes, as the case may be, in the event that the market price per share of common stock, as measured under the terms of the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions, is greater than the strike price of the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions, which initially corresponds to the initial conversion price of the Notes, or approximately $37.27 per share of the common stock. The Convertible Note Hedge Transactions are separate transactions, entered into by the Company with each of the Counterparties, and are not part of the terms of the Notes. Holders of the Notes will not have any rights with respect to the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions. The Company used approximately $72.6 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to pay the cost of the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions. The Convertible Note Hedge Transactions are recorded in additional paid-in capital in the Balance Sheets as they do not require classification outside of equity pursuant to ASC 480 and qualify for equity classification pursuant to ASC 815.
Warrant Transactions
On October 6, 2022 and on October 19, 2022, the Company separately entered into privately negotiated warrant transactions (the “Warrants”) with the Counterparties whereby the holders of the Warrants have the option to acquire, collectively, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 8.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial strike price of approximately $51.15 per share. The Warrants were sold in private placements to the Counterparties pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. If the market price per share of the common stock, as measured under the terms of the Warrants, exceeds the strike price of the Warrants, the Warrants could have a dilutive effect on the common stock, unless the Company elects, subject to certain conditions, to settle the Warrants in cash. The Warrants will expire over a period beginning in February 2028.
The Warrants are separate transactions, entered into by the Company with each of the Counterparties, and are not part of the terms of the Notes. Holders of the Notes will not have any rights with respect to the Warrants. The Company received aggregate proceeds of approximately $42.9 million from the sale of the Warrants to the Counterparties. The Warrants are recorded in additional paid-in capital in the Balance Sheets as they do not require classification outside of equity pursuant to ASC 480 and qualify for equity classification pursuant to ASC 815.
In combination, the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions and the Warrants synthetically increase the strike price of the conversion option of the Notes from approximately $37.27 to $51.15, reducing the dilutive effect of the Notes in exchange for a net cash premium of $29.7 million.
Debt Commitment Letter
In connection with the entry into the Arrangement Agreement (see Note 2, Acquisition and Divestiture), the Company entered into a commitment letter, dated as of August 2, 2022 (the “Commitment Letter”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”), pursuant to which JPM has committed to provide (a) a backstop of certain amendments to the Company's existing Credit Agreement and (b) a 364-day bridge loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $1.2 billion (the "Bridge Commitment"), subject to certain mandatory commitment reductions customary for a bridge loan facility. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, the amendments and restatement of the Credit Agreement disclosed above and the issuance of the Notes disclosed above occurred to replace the backstop commitment and the Bridge Commitment.
