    Senior Notes 2026
On May 31, 2016, we issued $600 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior notes due 2026 (Senior Notes 2026) in an unregistered offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to certain persons in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

Senior Notes 2026 would have matured on June 1, 2026.
On December 20, 2016, we issued an additional $250 million in aggregate principal amount by reopening our Senior Notes 2026 at an issue price of 102.75%. The additional notes had identical terms, were fungible with and were a part of a single series with the previously issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes 2026. The outstanding aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes 2026, after taking into consideration the additional issuance, was $850 million as of December 9, 2021.
On December 9, 2021, we redeemed Senior Notes 2026 in full at a price equal to 102.9375% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. A portion of the net proceeds from the offerings of Senior Notes 2029 and Senior Notes 2031 was used to redeem Senior Notes 2026. Upon redemption, Senior Notes 2026 were cancelled and any obligation thereunder was extinguished. The resulting loss of $27.4 million, consisting of $25.0 million relating to the early termination call premium, $6.2 million relating to unamortized debt issuance costs and $(3.8) million relating to unamortized premium, has been recorded as a component of Other income (expense), net in our Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 23 “Other Income (Expense), Net.”
For the year ended June 30, 2024, we did not record any interest expense relating to Senior Notes 2026 (year ended June 30, 2023 and 2022—nil and $21.9 million, respectively).
Senior Secured Fixed Rate Notes
Senior Secured Notes 2027
On December 1, 2022, we issued $1 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2027 (Senior Secured Notes 2027, and together with the Senior Notes 2031, Senior Notes 2030, Senior Notes 2029, and Senior Notes 2028, the Senior Notes) in connection with the financing of the Micro Focus Acquisition in an unregistered offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Senior Secured Notes 2027 bear interest at a rate of 6.90% per annum,
payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1, commencing on June 1, 2023. Senior Secured Notes 2027 will mature on December 1, 2027, unless earlier redeemed, in accordance with their terms, or repurchased.
The Senior Secured Notes 2027 are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, and are secured with the same priority as the Company’s senior credit facilities. The Senior Secured Notes 2027 and the related guarantees are effectively senior to all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ senior unsecured debt to the extent of the value of the Collateral (as defined in the indenture to the Senior Secured Notes 2027) and are structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of each of the Company’s existing and future subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Senior Secured Notes 2027. As of June 30, 2024, the Senior Secured Notes 2027 bear an effective interest rate of 7.39%. The effective interest rate includes interest expense of $69.0 million and amortization of debt discount and issuance costs of $2.7 million.
For the year ended June 30, 2024, we recorded interest expense of $69.0 million, relating to Senior Secured Notes 2027 (year ended June 30, 2023 and 2022—$40.3 million and nil, respectively).
Term Loan B
On May 30, 2018, we entered into a credit facility which provides for a $1 billion term loan facility (Term Loan B), and borrowed under the facility to, among other things, repay in full the loans under our prior $800 million term loan facility originally entered into on January 16, 2014. On June 6, 2023, we amended the Term Loan B to replace the LIBOR benchmark rate applicable to borrowings under Term Loan B with a SOFR benchmark rate. On May 6, 2024, we used a portion of the net proceeds from the AMC Divestiture to prepay in full the outstanding principal balance of $940 million under Term Loan B, at which point all remaining commitments under Term Loan B were reduced to zero and Term Loan B was terminated, which resulted in a loss on debt extinguishment of $1.8 million relating to unamortized debt issuance costs (see Note 23 “Other Income (Expense), Net” for more details).
As of June 30, 2024, we had no outstanding aggregate principal balance under Term Loan B (June 30, 2023—$947.5 million). For the year ended June 30, 2024, we recorded interest expense of $58.4 million relating to Term Loan B (year ended June 30, 2023 and 2022—$54.0 million and $19.7 million, respectively).
Revolver
On December 19, 2023, we amended our committed revolving credit facility (the Revolver) to, among other things, extend the maturity from October 31, 2024 to December 19, 2028, and to remove the 10-basis point credit spread adjustment for loans bearing interest based on the SOFR rate. Borrowings under the Revolver are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets, on a pari passu basis with the Acquisition Term Loan (as defined below) and Senior Secured Notes 2027.
The Revolver has no fixed repayment date prior to the end of the term. On June 6, 2023, we entered into an amendment to replace the LIBOR benchmark rate applicable to borrowings under the Revolver with SOFR benchmark rate. Borrowings under the Revolver currently bear interest per annum at a floating rate of interest equal to Term SOFR (as defined in the Revolver) and a fixed margin dependent on our consolidated net leverage ratio ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%.
Under the Revolver, we must maintain a “consolidated net leverage” ratio of no more than 4.50:1.00 at the end of each financial quarter. Consolidated net leverage ratio is defined for this purpose as the proportion of our total debt reduced by unrestricted cash, including guarantees and letters of credit, over our trailing twelve months net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring, share-based compensation and other miscellaneous charges. As of June 30, 2024, our consolidated net leverage ratio, as calculated in accordance with the applicable agreement, was 2.32:1.00.
As of June 30, 2024, we had no outstanding balance under the Revolver (June 30, 2023—$275.0 million). For the year ended June 30, 2024, we recorded interest expense of $2.2 million relating to the Revolver (year ended June 30, 2023 and 2022—$10.1 million and nil, respectively, relating to amounts previously drawn).
Acquisition Term Loan
On December 1, 2022, we amended our first lien term loan facility (the Acquisition Term Loan), dated as of August 25, 2022, to increase the aggregate commitments under the senior secured delayed-draw term loan facility from an aggregate principal amount of $2.585 billion to an aggregate principal amount of $3.585 billion. During the third quarter of Fiscal 2023, the Company drew down $3.585 billion from the Acquisition Term Loan, net of original issuance discount of 3% and other fees (see Note 19 “Acquisitions and Divestitures” for more details). On August 14, 2023, we amended the Acquisition Term Loan, to reduce the applicable interest rate margin by 0.75% over the remaining term of the Acquisition Term Loan. On May 15, 2024, we further amended the Acquisition Term Loan, to reduce the applicable interest rate margin by 0.5% and remove the 10-basis point credit spread adjustment for loans bearing interest based on the SOFR rate. Both of the above reductions in interest rate margin on the Acquisition Term Loan resulting from the amendments were accounted for by the Company as debt modifications.
The Acquisition Term Loan has a seven-year term from the date of funding, and repayments under the Acquisition Term Loan are equal to 0.25% of the principal amount in equal quarterly installments for the life of the Acquisition Term Loan, with the remainder due at maturity. Borrowings under the Acquisition Term Loan currently bear a floating rate of interest equal to Term SOFR plus an applicable margin of 2.25%. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding balance on the Acquisition Term Loan bears an interest rate of 7.58%. As of June 30, 2024, the Acquisition Term Loan bears an effective interest rate of 8.67%. The effective interest rate includes interest expense of $272.5 million and amortization of debt discount and issuance costs of $18.3 million.
The Acquisition Term Loan has incremental facility capacity of (i) $250 million plus (ii) additional amounts, subject to meeting a “consolidated senior secured net leverage” ratio not exceeding 2.75:1.00, in each case subject to certain conditions. Consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio is defined for this purpose as the proportion of the Company’s total debt reduced by unrestricted cash, including guarantees and letters of credit, that is secured by the Company’s or any of the Company’s subsidiaries’ assets, over the Company’s trailing four financial quarter net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring, share-based compensation and other miscellaneous charges. Under the Acquisition Term Loan, we must maintain a “consolidated net leverage” ratio of no more than 4.50:1.00 at the end of each financial quarter. Consolidated net leverage ratio is defined for this purpose as the proportion of the Company’s total debt reduced by unrestricted cash, including guarantees and letters of credit, over the Company’s trailing four financial quarter net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring, share-based compensation and other miscellaneous charges as defined in the Acquisition Term Loan. As of June 30, 2024, our consolidated net leverage ratio, as calculated in accordance with the applicable agreement, was 2.32:1.00.
The Acquisition Term Loan is unconditionally guaranteed by certain subsidiary guarantors, as defined in the Acquisition Term Loan, and is secured by a first charge on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors on a pari passu basis with the Revolver and the Senior Secured Notes 2027.
On October 20, 2023 and January 22, 2024, the Company made prepayments of $75 million and $175 million, respectively, on the Acquisition Term Loan using cash on hand. On May 6, 2024, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the AMC Divestiture to prepay $1.06 billion of the outstanding principal balance of the Acquisition Term Loan. As a result of these prepayments in Fiscal 2024, the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $54.6 million relating to unamortized debt issuance costs (see Note 23 “Other Income (Expense), Net” for more details).
For the year ended June 30, 2024, we recorded interest expense of $272.5 million relating to the Acquisition Term Loan (year ended June 30, 2023 and 2022—$125.7 million and nil, respectively).
Bridge Loan
On August 25, 2022, we entered into a bridge loan agreement (Bridge Loan) which provided for commitments of up to $2.0 billion to finance a portion of the repayment of Micro Focus’ existing debt. On December 1, 2022, we entered into an amendment to the Bridge Loan that reallocated commitments under the Bridge Loan to the Acquisition Term Loan. In connection with the amendment to the Bridge Loan and the receipt of proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes 2027, all remaining commitments under the Bridge Loan were reduced to zero and the Bridge Loan was terminated, which resulted in a loss on debt extinguishment of $8.2 million relating to unamortized debt issuance costs (see Note 23 “Other Income (Expense), Net” for more details).
For the year ended June 30, 2024, we did not have any borrowings or record any interest expense relating to the Bridge Loan (year ended June 30, 2023—nil).
Debt Discount and Issuance Costs
Debt discount and issuance costs relate primarily to costs incurred for the purpose of obtaining or amending our credit facilities and issuing our Senior Notes, and are being amortized through interest expense over the respective terms of the Senior Notes and Acquisition Term Loan using the effective interest method and straight-line method for the Revolver.
