New Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility—In June 2014, we entered into an amended and restated bank credit agreement, which established a $3.0 billion unsecured five-year revolving credit facility, that is scheduled to expire on June 28, 2019 (the “New Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility”).  Among other things, the New Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility includes limitations on creating liens, incurring subsidiary debt, transactions with affiliates, sale/leaseback transactions, mergers and the sale of substantially all assets.  The New Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility also includes a covenant imposing a maximum debt to tangible capitalization ratio of 0.6 to 1.0.  Borrowings under the Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility are subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an event of default, Borrowings are guaranteed by Transocean Ltd. and may be prepaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty.

 

We may borrow under the New Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility at either (1) the adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin (the “New Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility Margin”), which ranges from 1.125 percent to 2.0 percent based on the credit rating of our non-credit enhanced senior unsecured long-term debt (“Debt Rating”), or (2) the base rate specified in the credit agreement plus the Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility Margin, less one percent per annum.  Throughout the term of the New Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility, we pay a facility fee on the daily unused amount of the underlying commitment which ranges from 0.15 percent to 0.35 percent depending on our Debt Rating.  At June 30, 2014, based on our Debt Rating on that date, the New Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility Margin was 1.5 percent and the facility fee was 0.225 percent.  At June 30, 2014, we had no borrowings outstanding, we had $20 million in letters of credit issued, and we had $3.0 billion of available borrowing capacity under the New Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility.

 

Former Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility—We had a $2.0 billion five-year revolving credit facility, established under a bank credit agreement dated November 1, 2011, as amended, that was scheduled to expire on November 1, 2016 (the “Former Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility”).  In June 2014, we replaced the Former Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility with the New Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility.

 

Former Three-Year Secured Revolving Credit Facility—We had a $900 million three-year secured revolving credit facility, established under a bank credit agreement dated October 25, 2012, that was scheduled to expire on October 25, 2015 (the “Former Three-Year Secured Revolving Credit Facility”).  Borrowings under the Former Three-Year Secured Revolving Credit Facility were secured by the Ultra-Deepwater Floaters Deepwater Champion, Discoverer Americas and Discoverer Inspiration.  At December 31, 2013, the aggregate carrying amount of Deepwater Champion, Discoverer Americas and Discoverer Inspiration was $2.2 billion.  In June 2014, we terminated the Former Three-Year Secured Revolving Credit Facility and the related security agreements.  No borrowings were outstanding under the Former Three-Year Secured Revolving Credit Facility at the time of its termination.  In the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recognized a loss of $4 million associated with the early termination of the Former Three-Year Secured Revolving Credit Facility.

 

ADDCL Credit Facilities—ADDCL had a senior secured credit facility, comprised of Tranche A for $215 million and Tranche C for $399 million, established under a bank credit agreement dated June 2, 2008 that was scheduled to expire in December 2017 (the “ADDCL Primary Loan Facility”).  Unaffiliated financial institutions provided the commitment for and borrowings under Tranche A, and one of our subsidiaries provided the commitment for Tranche C.  ADDCL also had a $90 million secondary credit facility, established under a bank credit agreement dated June 2, 2008 that was scheduled to expire in December 2015 (the “ADDCL Secondary Loan Facility” and together with the ADDCL Primary Loan Facility, the “ADDCL Credit Facilities”).  One of our subsidiaries provided 65 percent of the total commitment under the ADDCL Secondary Loan Facility.  At December 31, 2013, borrowings of $534 million and $80 million were outstanding under the ADDCL Primary Loan Facility and the ADDCL Secondary Loan Facility, respectively, of which $399 million and $52 million were provided by one of our subsidiaries and were eliminated in consolidation.  In February 2014, we repaid the outstanding borrowings under the ADDCL Credit Facilities and terminated the bank credit agreements under which the credit facilities were established.

 

ADDCL was required to maintain certain cash balances in restricted accounts for the payment of the scheduled installments on the ADDCL Credit Facilities.  At December 31, 2013, ADDCL had restricted cash investments of $20 million.  The restricted cash investments were released as a result of our repayment of borrowings under the ADDCL Credit Facilities.

 

Eksportfinans Loans—We have borrowings under the Loan Agreement dated September 12, 2008 and the Loan Agreement dated November 18, 2008 (together, the “Eksportfinans Loans”).  At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, aggregate borrowings of NOK 3.2 billion and NOK 3.6 billion, equivalent to approximately $519 million and $594 million, respectively, were outstanding under the Eksportfinans Loans.

 

The Eksportfinans Loans require collateral to be held by a financial institution through expiration (the “Aker Restricted Cash Investments”).  At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the aggregate principal amount of the Aker Restricted Cash Investments was NOK 3.2 billion and NOK 3.6 billion, equivalent to approximately $519 million and $594 million, respectively.
