In connection with the agreement to acquire PPD (Note 2), the company has available, but does not currently expect to utilize, up to $6.5 billion of committed bridge financing. The company intends to finance the purchase price with cash on hand and the net proceeds from issuance of debt. The company is currently evaluating future debt financings and the timing of such transactions is subject to market and other conditions. The company had a cash outlay of $29 million in 2021 associated with obtaining the bridge commitment included in other financing activities, net, in the accompanying statement of cash flows.
Credit Facilities
The company has a revolving credit facility (the Facility) with a bank group that provides for up to $3.00 billion of unsecured multi-currency revolving credit. The Facility expires on December 4, 2025. The revolving credit agreement calls for interest at either a LIBOR-based rate (or LIBOR successor rate), a EURIBOR-based rate (for funds drawn in euro) or a rate based on the prime lending rate of the agent bank, at the company’s option. The agreement contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default customary for facilities of this type. The covenants in the Facility include a Consolidated Net Interest Coverage Ratio (Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Net Interest Expense), as such terms are defined in the Facility. Specifically, the company has agreed that, so long as any lender has any commitment under the Facility, any letter of credit is outstanding under the Facility, or any loan or other obligation is outstanding under the Facility, it will maintain a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 3.5:1.0 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter. As of July 3, 2021, no borrowings were outstanding under the Facility, although available capacity was reduced by approximately $4 million as a result of outstanding letters of credit.
Commercial Paper Programs
The company has commercial paper programs pursuant to which it may issue and sell unsecured, short-term promissory notes (CP Notes). Under the U.S. program, a) maturities may not exceed 397 days from the date of issue and b) the CP Notes are issued on a private placement basis under customary terms in the commercial paper market and are not redeemable prior to maturity nor subject to voluntary prepayment. Under the euro program, maturities may not exceed 183 days and may be denominated in euro, U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, British pounds sterling, Swiss franc, Canadian dollars or other currencies. Under both programs, the CP Notes are issued at a discount from par (or premium to par, in the case of negative interest rates), or, alternatively, are sold at par and bear varying interest rates on a fixed or floating basis. As of July 3, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings under these programs.
Senior Notes
Interest is payable annually on the euro-denominated senior notes and semi-annually on all other senior notes. Each of the notes may be redeemed at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus a specified make-whole premium and accrued interest. The company is subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants under the indentures governing the senior notes, the most restrictive of which limits the ability of the company to pledge principal properties as security under borrowing arrangements. The company was in compliance with all covenants at July 3, 2021.
In the first quarter of 2021, the company redeemed some of its existing senior notes. In connection with these redemptions, the company incurred $197 million of losses on the early extinguishment of debt included in Other (Expense) Income on the accompanying statement of income. Upon redemption of the senior notes, the company terminated the related fixed to floating rate interest rate swap arrangements and received $22 million, included in other financing activities, net, in the accompanying statement of cash flows.
