2021 Credit Agreement

On September 27, 2021, the Company refinanced its then existing term loan and revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. in its capacity as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, and certain other lenders (the “2018 Credit Agreement”) by entering into a Refinancing Amendment (the “2021 Credit Agreement”). On August 22, 2022, the Company further amended the 2021 Credit Agreement to address the planned phase out of LIBOR by the UK Financial Conduct Authority. Under this amendment, the interest rates applicable to the loans under the 2021 Credit Agreement denominated in U.S. dollars were converted to a variant of the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), as established from time to time by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus a corresponding spread.

The 2021 Credit Agreement provided a $1.5 billion secured term loan facility (the “2021 Term Loan”) and a $2.0 billion revolving credit facility (the “2021 Revolver”). As of June 29, 2024, the principal amount outstanding under the 2021 Term Loan was $1.2 billion, and the interest rate was 6.44% per annum. No amounts were outstanding under the 2021 Revolver, and the full amount was available to be borrowed by the Company. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company made a $250.0 million voluntary prepayment on the 2021 Term Loan.

Interest expense, weighted average interest rates, and the interest rate at the end of period under the 2021 Credit Agreement were as follows: 

Three Months EndedNine Months Ended

Interest expense$21.1 $24.3 $64.9 $67.2 
Weighted average interest rate6.43 %6.17 %6.43 %5.65 %
Interest rate at end of period6.44 %6.20 %6.44 %6.20 %

The Company’s effective interest rate swap agreements, the first of which fixed the SOFR component of the variable interest rate on $1.0 billion of aggregate principal under the 2021 Term Loan at 1.23% and terminated on December 17, 2023, and the second of which fixes the SOFR component of the variable interest rate on $500 million of aggregate principal under the 2021 Term Loan at 3.46% commencing on December 17, 2023 and terminating on December 27, 2024, resulted in the Company receiving $2.4 million and $14.4 million during the three and nine months ended June 29, 2024, respectively, and $9.8 million and $25.0 million during the three and nine months ended July 1, 2023, respectively. These amounts were recorded as a reduction to interest expense.

The 2021 Credit Agreement contains two financial covenants; a total leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio, both of which are measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. These terms, and calculations thereof, are defined in further detail in the 2021 Credit Agreement. As of June 29, 2024, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

2028 Senior Notes
    
As of June 29, 2024, the Company had 4.625% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Notes”) outstanding in the aggregate principal balance of $400 million. The 2028 Senior Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and mature on February 1, 2028.

2029 Senior Notes

As of June 29, 2024, the Company had 3.250% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Senior Notes”) outstanding in the aggregate principal balance of $950 million. The 2029 Senior Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and mature on February 15, 2029.
