Amended Credit Agreement

The Company obtained capital for the acquisition of Fairchild and other general corporate purposes under a Credit Agreement dated as of April 15, 2016, by and among the Company, as borrower, the several lenders party thereto, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and certain other parties (as subsequently amended, the "Amended Credit Agreement"). The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $1.97 billion revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and a $2.4 billion term loan "B" facility (the “Term Loan "B" Facility”).

Amendments to the Amended Credit Agreement

Between 2016 and 2019, the Company, the Guarantors (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), the several lenders party thereto and the Agent (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) entered into seven amendments to the Amended Credit Agreement. These amendments, among others, reduced the interest rates payable under the Term Loan "B" Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility, increased the amounts that may be borrowed under the Term Loan "B" Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility and also amended certain financial covenants. As part of the seventh amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement executed during 2019, the Company drew an additional $500.0 million under Term Loan "B" Facility and utilized the additional borrowings to repay $500.0 million of the outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Facility. The maturity date of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan "B" Facility currently is June 12, 2024 and September 19, 2026, respectively.

On June 23, 2020, the Company entered into the Eighth Amendment ("Eighth Amendment") to the Amended Credit Agreement to change certain defined terms and to modify certain terms and conditions of the Amended Credit Agreement to align with the domestication of certain foreign subsidiaries. There was no impact to the consolidated financial statements due to the Eighth Amendment. See Note 16: ''Income Taxes'' for additional information on the domestication.

The obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Guarantors and collateralized by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors, including a pledge of the equity interests in certain of the Company’s domestic and first tier foreign subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions. The obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are also collateralized by mortgage on certain real property assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries.
The Amended Credit Agreement includes a maximum total net leverage ratio as a financial maintenance covenant, which the Company was in compliance as of December 31, 2020. It also contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default.

Loss on debt refinancing and prepayment

In connection with an amendment during 2019, the Company incurred fees to lenders, third parties, legal and other costs amounting to $17.5 million, of which a significant portion was capitalized. Management recorded a loss on debt refinancing amounting to $5.8 million, which included a proportionate write-off of the unamortized debt discount and issuance costs and the third party fees incurred for the transaction. In connection with another amendment during 2019, the Company incurred third party, legal and other fees of $6.6 million and recorded $0.4 million as loss on extinguishment of debt, while capitalizing the remaining cost incurred.

The loss on debt refinancing and prepayment amounted to $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. No such losses were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Borrowing and repayments under the Revolving Credit Facility

On March 24, 2020, the Company borrowed $1,165.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility as a precautionary measure in order to increase the Company’s cash position and provide financial flexibility in light of the uncertainty resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to better macroeconomic and business conditions, on August 21, 2020, the Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 3.875% Notes along with cash on hand to repay $1,200 million of such outstanding borrowings. Additionally, on December 31, 2020, the Company repaid $65.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2020, approximately $1,269.0 million was available for future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Issuance of 3.875% Notes

On August 21, 2020, the Company completed its private offering of $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 3.875% Notes. The 3.875% Notes were offered in the United States to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 3.875% Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by each of the Company’s subsidiaries that is a borrower or Guarantor under the Amended Credit Agreement and will also be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by any of the Company’s subsidiaries that becomes a borrower or guarantees any indebtedness under the Amended Credit Agreement in the future.

The 3.875% Notes and the guarantees thereof are the Company’s and the Guarantors’ general unsecured obligations, respectively, and (i) rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness (including the 1.625% Notes); (ii) rank senior to any subordinated indebtedness that the Company or the Guarantors may incur; (iii) are effectively subordinated to all of the Company’s or the Guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness (including indebtedness under the Amended Credit Agreement), in each case, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and (iv) are structurally subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future obligations of the Company’s subsidiaries that are not Guarantors of the 3.875% Notes.

The 3.875% Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.875% per year, payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2021, and will mature on September 1, 2028, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Company. The original issue discount and debt issuance costs incurred by the Company in connection with the offering of the 3.875% Notes amounted to $9.4 million, which has been capitalized and will be amortized to interest expense through the maturity date of September 1, 2028. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 3.875% Notes were used entirely to repay borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Maturity and Settlement of 1.00% Notes due 2020

The 1.00% Notes matured on December 1, 2020. The maturity of the notes resulted in the Company paying $690.0 million in cash to holders of the 1.00% Notes, representing the principal portion of the 1.00% Notes, using the available cash and cash equivalents.

The excess over the principal amount was settled on December 1, 2020 by issuing shares of the Company's common stock held in treasury. The transaction resulted in a net impact of $88.7 million to additional paid-in capital and treasury stock, measured based on the acquisition cost of the reissued shares with no overall impact to equity. At the time of issuance of the 1.00% Notes, the Company concurrently entered into hedge transactions with certain of the initial purchasers of the 1.00% Notes. According to the terms of these hedge contracts, on December 1, 2020, the Company repurchased an equivalent amount of shares of its common stock at the prevailing fair market value, to effectively offset the issuance of shares, which resulted in an impact of $321.0 million to additional paid-in capital and treasury stock, with no overall impact to equity.

Also at the time of issuance of the 1.00% Notes, the Company sold warrants to certain bank counterparties whereby the holders of the warrants have the option to purchase the equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $25.96 per share from the Company. These warrants can be exercised by the holders beginning in March and expire no later than April 2021. The Company currently anticipates the holders to exercise the warrants to purchase up to 37.3 million shares of common stock from the Company, which will be settled on a net-share basis depending on the average stock price on the day of exercise.

1.625% Notes due 2023

On March 31, 2017, the Company completed a private placement of $575.0 million of its 1.625% Notes to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The 1.625% Notes are governed by an indenture between the Company, as the issuer, the guarantors named therein and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the "1.625% Indenture"). The 1.625% Notes are convertible by holders into cash and shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of 48.2567 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (subject to adjustment in certain events), which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $20.72 per share of common stock. The Company will settle conversion of all 1.625% Notes validly tendered for conversion in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares to be determined by the Company.

Holders may convert their 1.625% only under the following circumstances: (i) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2017 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading
days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (ii) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the 1.625% Notes for each trading day of such period 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; (iii) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions described in the 1.625% Indenture; or (iv) on or after July 15, 2023 (each considered a "trigger"). Upon conversion of the 1.625% Notes, the Company will deliver cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election.

The last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on December 31, 2020 was greater than or equal to $26.94 (130% of the conversion price) on each applicable trading day. As a result, the Company recorded the outstanding balance of the 1.625% Notes amounting to $515.6 million, net of unamortized discount and issuance costs, as a current portion of long-term debt as of December 31, 2020, and as required by the 1.625% Indenture, gave notice to the trustee, the conversion agent and each holder on December 31, 2020 that each holder has the right to surrender any portion of its 1.625% Notes (in minimum denominations of $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) for conversion during the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2021 (and only during such calendar quarter unless the trigger remains) pursuant to the terms of the 1.625% Indenture.
