DEBT AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS
Bank Guarantee
On May 9, 2012, Kulicke & Soffa Pte Ltd. (“Pte”), the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, obtained a bank guarantee (“Bank Guarantee”) from DBS Bank Ltd. in the amount of $3.4 million Singapore dollars. Pte furnished the Bank Guarantee to the Landlord in lieu of a cash deposit in connection with building and leasing of a new facility in Singapore (See Note 12).
On May 9, 2013, the Bank Guarantee expired and Pte replaced the Bank Guarantee with a cash deposit to the landlord of an equivalent amount, which is included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as part of prepaid expenses and other current assets.
0.875% Convertible Subordinated Notes
The Company previously held 0.875% Convertible Subordinated Notes (the “Notes”) which matured on June 1, 2012. Prior to maturity, holders of the Notes were entitled to convert their Notes based on an initial conversion rate of approximately 69.6621 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $14.355 per share, subject to adjustment for certain events) only under specific circumstances. The Company had the option to elect to satisfy the conversion obligations in cash, common stock or a combination thereof. The Company repaid the entire principal balance of the Notes of $110.0 million plus interest of $0.5 million in cash in fiscal 2012. No common shares were issued in connection with repayment of the Notes.
For the fiscal years ended September 29, 2012 and October 1, 2011, $0.4 million and $0.6 million of amortization expense was incurred, respectively, relating to the Notes. There was no amortization expense for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2013.
The Company adopted ASC 470.20, Debt, Debt with Conversion Options, which requires that issuers of convertible debt that may be settled in cash upon conversion record the liability and equity components of the convertible debt separately. The liability component of the Company's Notes was classified as debt and the equity component of the Notes was classified as common stock on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Agreement to Develop and Lease
On May 7, 2012, Kulicke & Soffa Pte Ltd. (“Pte”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Pte entered into the ADL with DBS Trustee Limited as trustee of Mapletree Industrial Trust (the “Landlord”). Pursuant to the ADL, the Landlord agreed to develop a building at Lot 17622A Pt Mukim 18 at Serangoon North Avenue 5 (the “Building”) and Pte expects to lease from the Landlord 198,134 square feet (the “Initial Premises”), representing approximately 69% of the Building. The Building is estimated to be completed and ready for occupancy in the first quarter of 2014.  
The facility is currently being constructed. In accordance with ASC No. 840, Leases ("ASC 840"), we are considered to be the owner of the building during the construction phase due to our involvement in the asset construction. Since the Company is considered the owner of the building during the construction period, a sale and leaseback of the building will occur when construction is completed and the lease term begins. As a result of the Company's continued involvement, the Company will be unable to use sale-leaseback accounting under ASC 840. Therefore, at completion, the building will remain on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, and the corresponding financing obligation will be reclassified to long-term liability.
The estimated construction costs incurred to date in relation to the relevant proportion of our lease recognized as of September 28, 2013 is $19.4 million.
