Senior Notes The Company has outstanding $16.8 billion of various fixed-rate senior notes, as described above. The indentures governing the Company’s senior notes contain covenants that, among other matters, limit (i) the Company’s ability to consolidate or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to, another person, (ii) the Company’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to create or assume liens, and (iii) the Company’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to engage in sale and leaseback transactions. The Company may, at its option, redeem the senior notes, in whole or, from time to time, in part, at any time prior to the applicable maturity date. Interest on the Company’s U.S. dollar-denominated senior notes is paid semi-annually, while interest on its Euro- and British Pound-denominated senior notes is paid annually. The interest rate applicable to certain of the senior notes is subject to an increase of up to two percent in the event that the credit rating assigned to such notes is downgraded below investment grade. In July 2022, the Company redeemed $700 million in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 3.500% senior notes due in October 2022 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Company financed the redemption of these notes using proceeds from the issuance of U.S. dollar commercial paper. At December 31, 2021, the 3.500% senior notes due in October 2022 were classified in the consolidated balance sheet as long-term, as the Company had the intent to refinance this debt on a long-term basis and the ability to do so. At December 31, 2022, the 0.375% Euro-denominated senior notes due in July 2023 and 3.800% senior notes due in October 2023 were classified in the consolidated balance sheet as long-term, as the Company has the intent to refinance this debt on a long-term basis and the ability to do so under its revolving credit facility. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the 2021 issuance of commercial paper notes, as described below, to repay the outstanding principal balance of $400 million under its 4.750% senior notes that matured in June 2021. Commercial Paper The Company maintains unsecured U.S. dollar and Euro commercial paper programs. From time to time, the Company may issue under these programs U.S. dollar commercial paper with maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issuance and Euro commercial paper with maturities of up to 183 days from the date of issuance. Outstanding borrowings under the U.S. dollar program were $2.3 billion and $916 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.818% and 0.295%, respectively. Outstanding borrowings under the Euro program were $1.2 billion and $905 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 1.918% and (0.420)%, respectively. The Company intends to maintain available capacity under its revolving credit facility, as described below, in an amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding borrowings under its commercial paper programs. Outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper programs are classified in the consolidated balance sheets as long-term as the Company has the intent to refinance this commercial paper on a long-term basis through the continued issuance of new commercial paper upon maturity, and the Company also has the ability to refinance such commercial paper under its revolving credit facility. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper notes to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility; to redeem its 3.500% senior notes due in October 2022; to repay its 4.750% senior notes that matured in June 2021; to pay down outstanding borrowings on its term loan facility; to repay amounts outstanding on its receivable securitized loan; and to fund acquisitions. Revolving Credit Facility In June 2022, the Company entered into a new senior unsecured multicurrency revolving credit facility with substantially the same syndicate of banks that were lenders under its prior amended and restated revolving credit facility, which the Company voluntarily terminated and replaced. The new credit agreement matures in June 2027 and provides for a maximum aggregate principal amount of availability of $6.0 billion. Borrowings under the new credit facility bear interest at a variable rate based on a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), or a base rate in the case of U.S. dollar borrowings, in each case, plus a specified margin based on the Company’s long-term debt rating in effect from time to time (5.44% at December 31, 2022). The credit facility also requires the Company to pay a facility fee based on the aggregate commitments in effect under the agreement from time to time. The new credit facility contains various restrictions and covenants that require the Company to, among other things, limit its consolidated indebtedness as of the end of each fiscal quarter to no more than 3.75 times the Company’s consolidated net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash charges and expenses and certain other adjustments (“EBITDA”) during the period of four fiscal quarters then ended, subject to certain exceptions. The Company was in compliance with all financial debt covenants during the year ended December 31, 2022. Foreign Lines of Credit and Other Arrangements The Company maintains certain short-term lines of credit with foreign banks and alliance partners primarily to fund settlement activity associated with international operations in Latin America. The Company had amounts outstanding on these lines of credit totaling $198 million and $240 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 30.58% and 21.01% at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Receivable Securitized Loan The Company maintains a consolidated wholly-owned subsidiary, First Data Receivables, LLC (“FDR”). FDR was a party to certain receivables financing arrangements, including an agreement (“Receivables Financing Agreement”) through July 2022, with certain financial institutions and other persons from time to time party thereto as lenders and group agents, pursuant to which certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company had agreed to transfer and contribute receivables to FDR, and FDR in turn could obtain borrowings from the financial institutions and other lender parties to the Receivables Financing Agreement secured by liens on those receivables. FDR’s assets were not available to satisfy the obligations of any other entities or affiliates of the Company, and FDR’s creditors were entitled, upon its liquidation, to be satisfied out of FDR’s assets prior to any assets or value in FDR becoming available to the Company. In July 2022, the Company repaid $485 million, representing all amounts outstanding on its receivable securitized loan. The Company used proceeds from the issuance of U.S. dollar commercial paper to repay and terminate the Receivables Financing Agreement. FDR held $1.0 billion in receivables as part of the securitization program at December 31, 2021, which were recorded within trade accounts receivable, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. FDR utilized the receivables as collateral in borrowings of $500 million as of December 31, 2021, at an average interest rate of 0.95%. Outstanding borrowings bore interest at a variable rate based on one-month LIBOR plus a specified margin. At December 31, 2021, outstanding borrowings under the receivable securitized loan facility were classified in the consolidated balance sheet as long-term, as the Company had the intent to refinance this debt on a long-term basis and the ability to do so. Term Loan Facility The Company maintains a term loan credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions, of which the aggregate principal amount outstanding under such agreement was $200 million at both December 31, 2022 and 2021. Borrowings under the term loan facility bear interest at a variable rate based on one-month LIBOR or on a base rate, plus, in each case, a specified margin based on the Company’s long-term debt rating in effect from time to time, and mature in July 2024. The variable interest rate on the term loan facility borrowings was 5.64% and 1.35% at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The term loan credit facility contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default, that are substantially the same as those set forth in the Company’s revolving credit facility, as described above. Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs are amortized as a component of interest expense, net over the term of the underlying debt using the effective interest method. Deferred financing costs primarily related to the Company’s senior notes totaled $76 million and $92 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and are reported as a direct reduction of the related debt instrument in the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred financing costs related to the Company’s revolving credit facility are reported in other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets and totaled $10 million and $3 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
