Redemption of Senior Notes
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we settled a tender offer to purchase $500 million in aggregate principal of our 2.95% Senior Notes due 2031 for an aggregate cash repurchase price of approximately $418 million, which resulted in the recognition of a net gain on debt extinguishment of $73 million. The net gain included the write-off of debt issuance costs and discounts of $8 million as well as fees of $1 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we early redeemed all of our €650 million registered senior unsecured notes that were due June 2022 and bore interest at 2.5% (the “2.5% Notes”), all of our $500 million registered senior unsecured notes that were due December 2023 and bore interest at 3.6% (the “3.6% Notes”), and all of our $500 million registered senior unsecured notes that were due August 2024 and bore interest at 4.5% (the “4.5% Notes”), which resulted in the recognition of a loss on debt extinguishment of $24 million during the period. This loss primarily reflected the payment of “make-whole” premiums of $20 million for the 3.6% and 4.5% Notes as well as the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts of $4 million.
We paid accrued and unpaid interest on the 2.5%, 3.6%, 4.5% and 2.95% Notes up to their dates of redemption.
Long-term Debt
Additional information about our $1 billion aggregate principal amount of unsecured 0% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”) and our other outstanding senior notes (collectively the “Senior Notes”), see Note 8 – Debt of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021 Form 10-K.
All of our outstanding Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations issued by Expedia Group and guaranteed by certain domestic Expedia Group subsidiaries. The Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Expedia Group and the guarantor subsidiaries. In addition, the Senior Notes include covenants that limit our ability to (i) create certain liens, (ii) enter into sale/leaseback transactions and (iii) merge or consolidate with or into another entity or transfer substantially all of our assets. The Senior Notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at the option of the holders thereof, upon the occurrence of certain change of control triggering events at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal plus accrued and unpaid interest. Accrued interest related to the Senior Notes was $48 million and $98 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Estimated Fair Value. The total estimated fair value of our Senior Notes was approximately $4.8 billion and $8.0 billion as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Additionally, the estimated fair value of the Convertible Notes was $874 million and $1.2 billion as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The fair value was determined based on quoted market prices in less active markets and is categorized according as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Credit Facility
As of September 30, 2022, Expedia Group maintained a $2.5 billion revolving credit facility that matures in April 2027. As of September 30, 2022, we had no revolving credit facility borrowings outstanding. Loans under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to an index rate plus a margin (a) in the case of term benchmark loans, ranging from 1.00% to 1.75% per annum, depending on Expedia Group’s credit ratings, and (b) in the case of base rate loans, ranging from 0.00% to 0.75% per annum, depending on Expedia Group’s credit ratings. A fee is payable quarterly in respect of undrawn commitments under the revolving credit facility at a rate ranging from 0.10% to 0.25% per annum, depending on Expedia Group’s credit ratings. The terms of the revolving credit facility require Expedia Group to not exceed a specified maximum consolidated leverage ratio as of the end of each fiscal quarter.
The revolving credit facility has a $120 million letter of credit (“LOC”) sublimit, and the amount of LOCs issued under the facility reduced the credit amount available. As of September 30, 2022, there was $38 million of outstanding stand-by LOCs issued under the facility.
The current facility was setup in April 2022 and Expedia Group terminated all outstanding commitments and repaid all outstanding obligations under our prior $1.145 billion revolving credit facility and $855 million foreign credit facility. As of December 31, 2021, we had no borrowings outstanding under either prior facility and $14 million of outstanding stand-by LOCs issued under the $1.145 billion revolving facility.
