Credit Facility
In May 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of March 8, 2019, by and among the Company, as borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders and arrangers party thereto (the "prior credit agreement", as amended, the "amended credit agreement” or "the revolving credit facility"). As described below, the amended credit agreement provides the Company with certain relief from and revisions to its financial covenants for specified periods, which the Company expects will provide it with sufficient access to liquidity during the ongoing disruption related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The amended credit agreement has a term of five years, maturing in March 2024, with permitted extensions under certain circumstances, and provides revolving credit commitments of up to $1.1 billion of borrowings, a reduction from the $1.25 billion of commitments under the prior credit agreement. As of June 30, 2020, there was $250 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company repaid $450 million of borrowings under the revolving credit facility, which the Company had borrowed as a precautionary measure in order to increase its cash position and preserve liquidity given the ongoing uncertainty in global markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. These amounts were primarily repaid using the net proceeds of the Company’s issuance of Convertible Senior Notes, as described below. As of December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility.
Except during the covenant suspension period (as defined below), at the Company's request and the lender's consent, commitments under the amended credit agreement may be increased by up to $300.0 million in aggregate, subject to certain conditions as set forth in the amended credit agreement. Incremental borrowings are uncommitted and the availability thereof will depend on market conditions at the time the Company seeks to incur such borrowings.
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility have maturities of less than one year. Up to $50.0 million of the facility may be used for the issuance of letters of credit. There were $14.7 million, $5.0 million and $4.6 million of letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, respectively.
The obligations of the Company under the amended credit agreement, which under the prior credit agreement were unsecured and not guaranteed by subsidiaries, are guaranteed by certain domestic significant subsidiaries of the Company, subject to customary exceptions (the “subsidiary guarantors”) and primarily secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors, excluding real property, capital stock in and debt of subsidiaries of the Company holding certain real property and other customary exceptions.
As with the prior credit agreement, the amended credit agreement contains negative covenants that limit the Company's ability to engage in certain transactions. The negative covenant governing the incurrence of indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries affords $50.0 million of additional capacity for secured debt, while the capacity to incur $100.0 million of additional unsecured debt remains unchanged from the prior credit agreement. The Company’s future investments in and loans to non-guarantor subsidiaries are subject to additional limitations under the amended credit agreement, as is the ability of the Company to sell assets outside the ordinary course of business. The amended credit agreement further provides for a temporary suspension of the Company’s ability to make certain voluntary restricted payments during the covenant suspension period.
The amended credit agreement also contains financial covenants that require the Company to comply with specific consolidated leverage and interest coverage ratios during specified periods. Under the prior credit agreement, the Company was required to maintain a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of not less than 3.50 to 1.0 (the “interest coverage covenant”) and was not permitted to allow the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA to be greater than 3.25 to 1.0 (the “leverage covenant”), as described in more detail in the prior credit agreement. The amended credit agreement provides for suspensions of and adjustments to the leverage covenant (including definitional changes impacting the calculation of the ratio) and the interest coverage covenant beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2020, and ending on the date on which financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 are delivered to lenders under the amended credit agreement (the “covenant suspension period”) as summarized below and described in more detail in the amended credit agreement:
For the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020, the interest coverage covenant is suspended and the leverage covenant will require that the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA be less than or equal to 4.5 to 1.0.
For the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020, March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, compliance with the interest coverage covenant and the leverage covenant are both suspended. Beginning on September 30, 2020 through and including December 31, 2021, the Company must instead maintain minimum liquidity of $550.0 million (the “liquidity covenant”) (with liquidity being the sum of certain cash and cash equivalents held by the Company and its subsidiaries and available borrowing capacity under the amended credit agreement).
For the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021, the interest coverage covenant is suspended, the leverage covenant will require that the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA be less than or equal to 4.5 to 1.0 and the Company must comply with the liquidity covenant.
For the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021, the interest coverage covenant is suspended, the leverage covenant will require that the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA be less than or equal to 4.0 to 1.0 and the Company must comply with the liquidity covenant.
Beginning on January 1, 2022, the liquidity covenant is terminated. For the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022, the leverage covenant will require that the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA be less than or equal to 3.5 to 1.0 and the interest coverage covenant will require that the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense be greater than or equal to 3.5 to 1.0.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the applicable covenants.
In addition, the amended credit agreement contains events of default that are customary for a facility of this nature and similar to the prior credit agreement, and includes a cross default provision whereby an event of default under other material indebtedness, as defined in the amended credit agreement, will be considered an event of default under the amended credit agreement.
During the covenant suspension period, the applicable margin for loans will be 2.00% for adjusted LIBOR loans and 1.00% for alternate base rate loans. Otherwise, borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) an alternate base rate, or (b) a rate based on the rates applicable for deposits in the interbank market for U.S. Dollars or the applicable currency in which the loans are made (“adjusted LIBOR”), plus in each case an applicable margin. The applicable margin for loans will be adjusted by reference to a grid (the “pricing grid”) based on the consolidated leverage ratio and ranges between 1.25% to 1.75% for adjusted LIBOR loans and 0.25% to 0.75% for alternate base rate loans. The weighted average interest rate under the revolving credit facility borrowings was 2.2% during the three months ended June 30, 2020, and 2.3% and 3.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the covenant suspension period, the commitment fee rate will be 0.40% per annum. Otherwise, the Company pays a commitment fee determined in accordance with the pricing grid on the average daily unused amount of the revolving credit facility and certain fees with respect to letters of credit. As of June 30, 2020, the commitment fee was 15.0 basis points. The Company incurred and deferred $7.2 million in financing costs in connection with the amended credit agreement.
1.50% Convertible Senior Notes
In May 2020, the Company issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.50% convertible senior notes due 2024 (the “Convertible Senior Notes”). The Convertible Senior Notes bear interest at the rate of 1.50% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning December 1, 2020. The Convertible Senior Notes will mature on June 1, 2024, unless earlier converted in accordance with their terms, redeemed in accordance with their terms or repurchased.
The net proceeds from the offering (including the net proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option) was $488.8 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and estimated offering expenses paid by the Company, of which the Company used $47.9 million to pay the cost of the capped call transactions described below. The Company utilized $439.9 million to repay indebtedness outstanding under its revolving credit facility and pay related fees and expenses.
The Convertible Senior Notes are not secured and are not guaranteed by any of the Company’s subsidiaries. The indenture governing the Convertible Senior Notes does not contain any financial or operating covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
The Convertible Senior Notes are convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s Class C common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Class C common stock, at the Company’s election as described further below. The initial conversion rate is 101.8589 shares of the Company’s Class C common stock per $1,000 principal
amount of Convertible Senior Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $9.82 per share of Class C common stock), subject to adjustment if certain events occur. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 1, 2024, the Convertible Senior Notes will be convertible only upon satisfaction of one or more of the following conditions:
during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2020 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class C common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;
during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class C common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;
upon the occurrence of specified corporate events or distributions on the Company’s Class C common stock; or
if the Company calls any Convertible Senior Notes for redemption prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 1, 2024.
On or after January 1, 2024 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Convertible Senior Notes at the conversion rate at any time irrespective of the foregoing conditions.
On or after December 6, 2022, the Company may redeem for cash all or any part of the Convertible Senior Notes, at its option, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class C common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the Convertible Senior Notes) prior to the maturity date, subject to certain conditions, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Convertible Senior Notes in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof at a price which will be equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
Concurrently with the offering of the Convertible Senior Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, HSBC Bank USA, National Association and Citibank, N.A. (the “option counterparties”). The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the Company’s Class C common stock upon any conversion of Convertible Senior Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the aggregate principal amount of converted Convertible Senior Notes upon any conversion thereof, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. The cap price of the capped call transactions is initially $13.4750 per share of the Company’s Class C common stock, representing a premium of 75% above the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class C common stock on May 21, 2020, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions.
The Convertible Senior Notes contain a cash conversion feature, and as a result, the Company has separated it into liability and equity components. The Company valued the liability component based on its borrowing rate for a similar debt instrument that does not contain a conversion feature. The equity component, which is recognized as a debt discount, was valued as the difference between the face value of the Convertible Senior Notes and the fair value of the liability component.
In connection with the Convertible Senior Notes issuance, the Company incurred deferred financing costs of $12.0 million, primarily related to fees paid to the initial purchasers of the offering, as well as legal and accounting fees. These costs were allocated on a pro rata basis, with $9.7 million allocated to the debt component and $2.3 million allocated to the equity component.
The debt discount and the debt portion of the deferred financing costs are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Senior Notes using an effective interest rate of 7%.
The Convertible Senior Notes consist of the following components:

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Senior Notes, the Company recorded a $12.1 million net deferred tax liability and a corresponding reduction in valuation allowance. As a result, there was no net impact to the Company’s deferred income taxes or additional paid in capital on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet.
3.250% Senior Notes
In June 2016, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.250% senior unsecured notes due June 15, 2026 (the “Senior Notes”). Interest is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 beginning December 15, 2016. The Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at any time, or from time to time, at redemption prices described in the indenture governing the Senior Notes. The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains negative covenants that limit the Company’s ability to engage in certain transactions and are subject to material exceptions described in the indenture. The Company incurred and deferred $5.3 million in financing costs in connection with the Senior Notes.
Interest Expense
Interest expense, net, was $11.3 million and $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $17.3 million and $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, inclusive of amounts related to the Senior Convertible Notes, as detailed above. Interest expense includes amortization of deferred financing costs, bank fees, capital and built-to-suit lease interest and interest expense under the credit and other long term debt facilities.
The Company monitors the financial health and stability of its lenders under the credit and other long term debt facilities, however during any period of significant instability in the credit markets, lenders could be negatively impacted in their ability to perform under these facilities.
