TransUnion Holding 9.625% notes In connection with the acquisition of TransUnion Corp., TransUnion Holding issued $600.0 million principal amount of 9.625%/10.375% senior unsecured PIK toggle notes (“9.625% notes”) to certain private investors on March 21, 2012. TransUnion Holding is required to pay interest on the 9.625% notes in cash unless certain conditions described in the indenture governing the notes are satisfied, in which case the Company will be entitled to pay interest for such period by increasing the principal amount of the notes or by issuing new notes (such increase being referred to as “PIK,” or paid-in-kind interest) to the extent described in the indenture. In connection with the issuance of the 9.625% notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement that required us to exchange the 9.625% notes for an equal amount of notes registered with the SEC. We filed the Registration Statement on Form S-4 for the notes with the SEC on August 31, 2012, and the related prospectus on September 6, 2012. All of the notes were exchanged in the exchange offer. The registration of the notes did not change any of the terms of the notes, other than lifting transfer restrictions on the notes. The indenture governing the 9.625% notes contains nonfinancial covenants that include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends or distributions, repurchase equity, prepay junior debt, make certain investments, incur additional debt, issue certain stock, incur liens on property, merge, consolidate or sell certain assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, and allow to exist certain restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to the Company. We are in compliance with all covenants under the indenture. 8.125% notes On November 1, 2012, TransUnion Holding issued $400.0 million principal amount of 8.125%/8.875% senior unsecured PIK toggle notes (“8.125% notes”) due June 15, 2018, at an offering price of 99.5% in a private placement to certain investors. TransUnion Holding is required to pay interest on the 8.125% notes in cash unless certain conditions described in the indenture governing the notes are satisfied, in which case the Company will be entitled to pay interest for such period by increasing the principal amount of the notes or by issuing new notes to the extent described in the indenture. In connection with the issuance of the 8.125% notes, TransUnion Holding successfully completed a Consent Solicitation to amend the indenture governing its 9.625% notes. The amendment permitted the issuance of the additional $400 million indebtedness and allowed TransUnion Holding to make a dividend payment to its shareholders. The 8.125% notes contain a registration rights agreement that will require us to exchange the notes for an equal amount of notes registered with the SEC. The indenture governing these notes and the nonfinancial covenants are substantially similar to those governing the outstanding 9.625% notes. The proceeds were used to pay a $373.8 million dividend to our shareholders and to pay various costs associated with issuing the debt and obtaining consents from our existing debt holders. In addition, as part of the transaction, on November 1, 2012, TransUnion LLC prepaid $10.0 million of the senior secured term loan with cash on hand. Transunion Corp. Senior secured credit facility In connection with the 2010 Change in Control Transaction discussed in Note 2, “Change in Control Transactions,” on June 15, 2010, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility with various lenders. On February 10, 2011, the Company amended and restated its senior secured credit facility to borrow new funds under a new senior secured term loan and replace the senior secured revolving line of credit. In connection with the refinancing in February 2011, the Company borrowed an additional $4.8 million under the term loan. Effective upon the acquisition of TransUnion Corp. by TransUnion Holding as described in Note 2, “Change in Control Transactions,” the senior secured credit facility was further amended to increase the applicable margin on the term loan and revolving line of credit borrowings by 75 basis points and 50 basis points, respectively. In addition, the amendment increased the capacity and extended the term on a portion of the revolving line of credit. The senior secured credit facility was further amended on February 5, 2013. See Note 26, “Subsequent Event.” This credit facility consists of a seven-year $950.0 million senior secured term loan and a $210.0 million senior secured revolving line of credit. Interest rates on the borrowings are based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) unless otherwise elected. As of December 31, 2012, the term loan was subject to a floor of 1.50% plus an applicable margin of 4.00%. The revolving line of credit had three tranches subject to floors of 1.50% to 1.75%, plus applicable margins of 3.00% to 5.00%, depending on the tranche and our senior secured net leverage ratio. There is a 0.5% annual commitment fee payable quarterly based on the undrawn portion of the revolving line of credit. With certain exceptions, the obligations are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of Trans Union LLC, including its investment in subsidiaries. The credit facility contains various restrictions and nonfinancial covenants, along with a senior secured net leverage ratio test that only applies to periods in which we have outstanding amounts drawn on the revolving line of credit. The nonfinancial covenants include restrictions on dividends, investments, dispositions, future borrowings and other specified payments, as well as additional reporting and disclosure requirements. The credit facility restrictions and covenants exclude any impact of the purchase accounting fair value adjustments or the increased amortization expense resulting from the 2012 Change in Control Transaction. We are in compliance with all of the loan covenants. Under the term loan, the Company is required to make principal payments of 0.25% of the original principal balance at the end of each quarter, with the remaining principal balance due February 10, 2018. The Company will also be required to make additional principal payments beginning in 2013 based on excess cash flows of the prior year. Depending on the senior secured net leverage ratio for the year, a principal payment of between zero and fifty percent of the excess cash flows will be due the following year. During 2012, the company repaid $19.5 million on the term loan, including a $10.0 prepayment on November 1, 2012, upon issuance of the 8.125% notes. Under the revolving line of credit, the first $25.0 million commitment expires June 15, 2015, the next $30.0 million commitment expires February 10, 2016, and the remaining $155.0 million commitment expires on February 10, 2017. The Company did not repay or borrow any funds under its revolving line of credit during 2012. On April 30, 2012, we entered into swap agreements that will effectively fix the interest payments on a portion of the term loan at 2.033%, plus the applicable margin, beginning March 28, 2013. Under the swap agreements, which we have designated as cash flow hedges, we pay a fixed rate of interest of 2.033% and receive a variable rate of interest equal to the greater of 1.50% or the 3-month LIBOR. The net amount to be paid or received will be recorded as an adjustment to interest expense. The change in fair value of the swap instrument is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income to the extent the hedge is effective, and in other income and expense in the consolidated statements of income to the extent the hedge is ineffective. The total notional amount of the swaps at December 31, 2012 was $500 million and is scheduled to decrease as scheduled principal payments are made on the term loan. The total fair value of the swap instruments as of December 31, 2012, was a liability of $5.8 million and was included in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. The net of tax unrealized loss on the swap instruments as of December 31, 2012, of $3.7 million was included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Through December 31, 2012, there were no gains or losses related to hedge ineffectiveness. If we elect a non-LIBOR interest rate on our term loan, or if we pay down our term loan below the notional amount of the swaps, the resulting ineffectiveness would be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on our consolidated balance sheet to other income and expense on our consolidated statement of income. The cash flows on the hedge instrument begin on June 28, 2013, and we do not expect to elect a non-LIBOR loan or to pay down our term loan below the notional amount of the swaps in the next 12 months. 11.375% notes In connection with the 2010 Change in Control Transaction, on June 15, 2010, Trans Union LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary TransUnion Financing Corporation, issued $645.0 million of senior notes to certain private investors. The senior notes mature on June 15, 2018, and accrue interest at a fixed rate of 11.375% per annum, payable semi-annually. Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, these senior notes have been registered with the SEC. The indenture governing the senior notes contains nonfinancial covenants that include restrictions on dividends, investments, dispositions, future borrowings and other specified payments, as well as additional reporting and disclosure requirements. The senior notes covenants exclude any impact of the purchase accounting fair value adjustments or the increased amortization expense resulting from the 2012 Change in Control Transaction. We are in compliance with all covenants under the indenture. As a result of the 2012 Change in Control Transaction, a purchase accounting fair value adjustment increase of $124.2 million was allocated to the senior notes. RFC loan In connection with the 2010 Change in Control Transaction, on June 15, 2010, the Company borrowed $16.7 million from an entity owned by Pritzker family business interests under the foreign cash loan (the “RFC loan”). The RFC loan was an unsecured, non-interest bearing note, discounted by $2.5 million for imputed interest. Interest expense was calculated under the effective interest method using an imputed interest rate of 11.625%. The Company repaid the remaining principal of the loan in connection with the 2012 Change in Control Transaction as discussed in Note 2, “Change in Control Transactions.” The Predecessor repaid $5.1 million of principal and imputed interest during 2011. Note Payable for 2011 acquisition of noncontrolling interests On April 15, 2011, we acquired the remaining 20% ownership interest in our South Africa subsidiary, TransUnion Analytic and Decision Services (Proprietary) Limited, from the noncontrolling shareholders. In connection with this acquisition, we issued a note to the sellers for $2.0 million. The note is an unsecured, non-interest bearing note, discounted by $0.2 million for imputed interest, due in annual installments of $1.0 million on April 15, 2012, and April 15, 2013. Interest expense is calculated under the effective interest method using an imputed interest rate of 10.0%. TransUnion Holding and TransUnion Corp. Fair Value of Fixed Rate Notes The fair value of our fixed-rate debt is determined using Level 2 inputs, quoted market prices for publicly traded instruments. As of December 31, 2012, the fair value of our 9.625%, 8.125% and 11.375% notes were $639.8 million, $413.5 million and $753.0 million, respectively, compared to book value of $600.0 million, $398.0 million and $758.4 million, respectively.
