At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the interest rate for the Term Loans (defined below) was 2.51% and 4.36%, respectively. At December 31, 2020, there were no borrowings and no letters of credit issued under the $350 million Revolving Credit Facility (defined below). Interest expense presented in the Statements of Operations is from the Senior Notes and Senior Credit Facilities, which includes the amortization of debt issuance cost and debt discounts.

 

Senior Notes

In October of 2018, the Company issued $400 million in principal amount of 6.125% senior unsecured notes due in 2026 (the "Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes are senior unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Resideo and rank equally with all of Resideo’s existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior to all of Resideo’s subordinated debt.

Resideo may, at its option, redeem the Senior Notes in whole or part prior to November 1, 2021, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, plus a “make-whole” premium. On or after November 1, 2021 Resideo may, at its option, redeem the Senior Notes in whole or in part plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus a fixed redemption percentage on the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed of (i) 104.594% if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on November 1, 2021 (ii) 103.063% if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on November

1, 2022, (iii) 101.531% if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on November 1, 2023, or (iv) 100% if redeemed on or after November 1, 2024.

 

Credit Agreement

On October 25, 2018, in connection with the consummation of the Spin-Off, the Company as the borrower, entered into a credit agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A. as administrative agent (the “Credit Agreement”), which was subsequently amended on November 26, 2019 (the “Credit Agreement First Amendment”) and on November 16, 2020 (the “Credit Agreement Second Amendment”).

The Credit Agreement provides for a seven-year LIBOR plus 2.25% senior secured first-lien term B loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $475 million (the "Term B Facility") and a five-year LIBOR plus 2.25% senior secured first-lien term A loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $350 (the "Term A Facility" and, together with the Term B Facility, the “Term Loans” or "Term Loan Facilities”). The Company is obligated to make quarterly principal payments throughout the term of the Term Loan Facilities according to the amortization provisions in the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are able to be prepaid at the Company’s option without premium or penalty other than a 1.00% prepayment premium that may be payable in connection with certain repricing transactions within a certain period of time after the closing date. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of Term Loan Facilities may not be re-borrowed.

 

The Credit Agreement also established a five-year senior secured first-lien revolving credit facility to be used for the Company’s working capital and other cash needs from time to time in an aggregate principal amount of $350 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the Term Loan Facilities, the "Senior Credit Facilities"). The interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility borrowings are based on, at the option of the Company, either, (i) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate” in the United States, (ii) the greater of the federal funds effective rate and the overnight bank funding rate, plus 0.75% and (iii) the one month adjusted LIBOR rate, plus 1.25% per annum. If the Company chooses to make a LIBOR borrowing on a one, two, three or six-month basis, the interest rate will be based on an adjusted LIBOR rate (which shall not be less than zero) based on the interest period for the borrowing. The applicable margin for the Term B Facility is (i) on or prior to the Credit Agreement First Amendment 2.00% per annum (for Libor loans) and 1.00% per annum (for base rate loans) and (ii) after the Credit Agreement First Amendment 2.25% per annum (for LIBOR loans) and 1.25% per annum (for base rate loans). The applicable margin for each of the Term A Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility varies (i) on or prior to the Credit Agreement First Amendment from 2.00% per annum to 1.50% per annum (for Libor loans) and 1.00% to 0.50% per annum (for base rate loans) and (ii) after the credit Agreement First Amendment from 2.25% per annum to 1.75% per annum (for LIBOR loans) and 1.25% to 0.75% per annum (for base rate loans) based on the Company’s leverage ratio. Accordingly, the interest rates for the Senior Credit Facilities will fluctuate during the term of the Credit Agreement based on changes in the base rate, LIBOR or future changes in the Company’s leverage ratio. Interest payments with respect to the borrowings are required either on a quarterly basis (for base rate loans) or at the end of each interest period (for LIBOR loans) or, if the duration of the applicable interest period exceeds three months, then every three months. The Revolving Credit Facility has a quarterly commitment fee based on the unused portion, which is determined by the Company’s leverage ratio and ranges from 0.25% to 0.35% per annum.

The net proceeds from the borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the offering of the Senior Notes were used as part of the financing for the Spin-Off. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company incurred approximately $16 million in debt issuance costs related to the Term Loans, $5 million in costs related to the Revolving Credit Facility and $8 million in costs related to the Senior Notes. The debt issuance costs associated with the Term Loans and Senior Notes were recorded as a reduction of the principal balance of the debt, and the Revolving Credit Facility costs were capitalized in Other assets. The issuance costs are being amortized through Interest expense for the duration of each respective debt facility.

The Credit Agreement and Senior Notes contain customary covenants limiting the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, pay cash dividends, incur debt or liens, redeem or repurchase stock of the Company, enter into transactions with affiliates, make investments, make capital expenditures, merge or consolidate with others or dispose of assets.

The Credit Agreement First Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to: (i) increase the levels of the maximum consolidated total leverage ratio under the Credit Agreement, to not greater than 5.25 to 1.00 for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, with step-downs to 4.75 to 1.00 starting in the quarter ending December 31, 2020, 4.25 to 1.00 starting in the quarter ending December 31, 2021, and 3.75 to 1.00 starting in the quarter ending December 31, 2022; (ii) increase each applicable interest rate margin on loans outstanding after the first amendment effective date by 25 basis points per annum, 2.25% per annum (for LIBOR loans) and 1.25% per annum (for ABR loans) in respect of the Term B Loan Facility, and based on the Company’s leverage ratio, from 2.25% per annum to 1.75% per annum (for LIBOR loans) and 1.25% to 0.75% per annum (for ABR loans) for the Term A Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility; and (iii) modify the defined terms “Consolidated EBITDA” and “Pro Forma Basis” set forth in the Credit Agreement. In connection with the Credit Agreement First Amendment, the Company incurred costs of approximately $4 million. The Term Loan costs were recorded as a reduction of the principal balance of the debt and the Revolving Credit Facility costs were capitalized in Other assets.

The Credit Agreement Second Amendment amended the Credit agreement to permit the sale and leaseback transactions in an aggregate amount not to exceed $150 million for all such sale and leaseback transactions, provided that (x) each sale and leaseback transactions is undertaken on arm’s length commercial terms and (y) no Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Credit Agreement and Senior Notes.
