4.75% Senior Notes

On March 4, 2021, the Company issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% Senior Notes. The 4.75% Senior Notes mature on March 1, 2029 and bear interest at a rate of 4.75% per annum, payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing on September 1, 2021. The Company received proceeds of $493.9 million from issuance of the 4.75% Senior Notes, net of issuance costs of $6.1 million, which are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a reduction to the outstanding amount payable and are being amortized to Interest Expense using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method for this debt, over the term of the 4.75% Senior Notes. A portion of the proceeds was used to repay the outstanding principal of the 5.50% Senior Notes on May 17, 2021. Refer to Note 21, Subsequent Events.

The fair value of the 4.75% Senior Notes was determined based on inputs that were observable in the market, including the trading price of the 4.75% Senior Notes, when available (Level 2).

The Company may redeem all or part of the 4.75% Senior Notes, upon not less than a 15-day or more than a 60-day notice, however, the applicable redemption price will be determined as follows:

(1) If the Company redeems the notes prior to the applicable date, the price is principal plus a make-whole premium, which means, the greater of (i) 1.0% of the principal or (ii) the excess of the present value of the redemption price at March 1, 2024 plus interest through March 1, 2024 over the principal amount.

(2) If the Company redeems the notes on or after the applicable date, the price is principal plus a premium which declines over time, as specified in the applicable indenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest.

(3) If the Company redeems the notes prior to the applicable date with net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings, the price is equal to the amount specified above, together with accrued and unpaid interest, subject to a maximum redemption of 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the respective note being redeemed and at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount remains outstanding immediately after any such redemption (unless the notes are redeemed or repurchased substantially concurrently).

During Fiscal Year 2021, the Company repurchased $19.3 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Senior Notes and recorded an immaterial gain on extinguishment, which is included in Interest Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company did not incur prepayment penalties.

Term Loan Facility

In connection with the Polycom Acquisition completed on July 2, 2018, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s prior revolving credit facility in its entirety. The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a revolving credit facility with an initial maximum aggregate amount of availability of $100 million that matures in July 2023 and (ii) a $1.275 billion term loan facility priced at LIBOR plus 2.50% due in quarterly principal installments commencing on the last business day of March, June, September and December beginning with the first full fiscal quarter ending after the closing

date under the Credit Agreement for the aggregate principal amount funded on the closing date under the Credit Agreement multiplied by 0.25% (subject to prepayments outlined in the Credit Agreement) and all remaining outstanding principal due at maturity in July 2025. The Company borrowed the full amount available under the term loan facility of $1.245 billion, net of approximately $30 million of discounts and issuance costs which are being amortized to Interest Expense over the term of the Credit Agreement using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method for this debt. The proceeds from the initial borrowing under the Credit Agreement were used to finance the Acquisition of Polycom, to refinance certain debt of Polycom and to pay related fees, commissions and transaction costs. The Company has additional borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement through the revolving credit facility, which could be used to provide ongoing working capital and capital for other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are currently guaranteed by Polycom and will from time to time be guaranteed by, subject to certain exceptions, any domestic subsidiaries that may become material in the future. Subject to certain exceptions, the Credit Agreement is secured by first-priority perfected liens on, and security interests in, substantially all of the personal property of the Company and each subsidiary guarantor and will from time to time also be secured by certain material real property that the Company or any subsidiary guarantor may acquire. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest due on a quarterly basis at a variable rate equal to (i) LIBOR plus a specified margin, or (ii) the base rate (which is the highest of (a) the prime rate publicly announced from time to time by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or (c) the sum of 1% plus one-month LIBOR) plus a specified margin. The Company must also pay (i) an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.200% to 0.300% per annum of the average daily unused portion of the aggregate revolving credit commitments under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) a per annum fee equal to (a) for each performance standby letter of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement with respect to non-financial contractual obligations, 50% of the applicable margin over LIBOR under the revolving credit facility in effect from time to time multiplied by the daily amount available to be drawn under such letter of credit, and (b) for each other letter of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement, the applicable margin over LIBOR under the revolving credit facility in effect from time to time multiplied by the daily amount available to be drawn under such letter of credit.

On February 20, 2020, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) by and among the Company, the financial institutions party thereto as lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”). The Amendment amended the Credit Agreement, as previously amended to (i) increase the maximum Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) permitted under the Credit Agreement to 3.75 to 1.00 through December 26, 2020 and 3.00 to 1.00 thereafter and (ii) decrease the minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) required under the Credit Agreement to 2.25 to 1.00 through December 26, 2020 and 2.75 to 1.00 thereafter.

Additionally, the Amendment modified the calculation of the Secured Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio solely for purposes of compliance with Sections 7.11(a) and 7.11(b) of the Credit Agreement to (i) calculate the Secured Net Leverage Ratio net of the aggregate amount of unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalents (as defined in the Credit Agreement) on the Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the date of calculation up to an amount equal to $150,000,000 and (ii) solely for purposes of any fiscal quarter ending from December 29, 2019 through December 26, 2020, increase the cap on Expected Cost Savings (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in determining Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to the greater of (A) 20% of Consolidated EBITDA for such Measurement Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (calculated before giving effect to any such Expected Cost Savings to be added back pursuant to clause (a)(ix) of the definition of Consolidated EBITDA) and (B)(x) for the period from December 29, 2019 through March 28, 2020, $121,000,000, (y) for the period from March 29, 2020 through June 27, 2020, $107,000,000 and (z) for the period from June 28, 2020 through December 26, 2020, $88,000,000.

The financial covenants under the Credit Agreement described above are for the benefit of the revolving credit lenders only and do not apply to any other debt of the Company. The Credit Agreement also contains various other restrictions and covenants, some of which have become more stringent over time, including restrictions on our, and certain of our subsidiaries, ability to consolidate or merge, create liens, incur additional indebtedness, dispose of assets, consummate acquisitions, make investments and pay dividends and other distributions. The Company has the unilateral ability to terminate the revolving line of credit such that the financial covenants described above are no longer applicable. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. If an event of default under the Credit Agreement occurs and is continuing, then the lenders may declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that the occurrence of an event of default as a result of a breach of a financial covenant under the Credit Agreement does not constitute a default or event of default with respect to any term facility under the Credit Agreement unless and until the required revolving lenders shall have terminated their revolving commitments and declared all amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility to be due and payable. In addition, if the Company, any subsidiary guarantor or, with certain exceptions, any other subsidiary becomes the subject of voluntary or involuntary proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, then any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement will automatically become immediately due and payable. Loans

outstanding under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate of 2.00% per annum in excess of the otherwise applicable rate (i) while a payment or bankruptcy event of default exists or (ii) upon the lenders’ request, during the continuance of any other event of default. As of April 3, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.

The Company may prepay the loans and terminate the commitments under the Credit Agreement at any time without penalty. Additionally, the Company is subject to mandatory debt repayments five business days after the filing of its Consolidated Financial Statements for any annual period in which the Company generates excess cash (as defined in the Credit Agreement). In accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company did not generate Excess Cash during Fiscal Years 2021 or 2020 and therefore is not required to make any debt repayments. During Fiscal Year 2021, the Company prepaid $130.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan Facility and did not incur any prepayment penalties. The Company recorded an immaterial loss on extinguishment on the prepayment, which is included in Interest Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of April 3, 2021, the Company had five letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility for a total of $1.4 million. The fair value of the term loan facility was determined based on inputs that were observable in the market (Level 2).
