DEBT AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS | DEBT AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS Agreement to Develop and Lease and Lease Agreement On May 7, 2012, Kulicke & Soffa Pte Ltd. (“Pte”), the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, 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 23A Serangoon North Avenue 5, #01-01 K&S Corporate Headquarters, Singapore 554369 (the “Building”). The lease has a ten year non-cancellable term and contains options to renew for a further two 10-year terms. The annual rent and service charge for the Initial Term range between approximately $4 million to approximately $5 million Singapore dollars. The Tenant has a right of first refusal for all space that becomes available in the Building and the Landlord has agreed to make available a certain amount of additional space for rental by the Tenant at the Tenant’s option which may be exercised at certain points during the second half of the Initial Term. Subject to the Tenant renting a minimum amount of space for a certain period, the Tenant has partial surrender rights. In addition, the Tenant has termination rights after renting the Initial Premises for a certain period of time. The Building was completed on December 1, 2013 and Pte signed a Lease Agreement with the Landlord to lease from the Landlord approximately 198,000 square feet (the “Initial Premises”), representing approximately 70% of the Building. In accordance with ASC No. 840, Leases ("ASC 840"), the Company was considered to be the owner of the Building during the construction phase due to its involvement in the asset construction. Once construction was complete we are required to perform a sale-leaseback analysis pursuant to ASC 840-40 to determine if we can remove the Landlord’s asset and associated financing obligation from the consolidated balance sheet. Our lease contained collateral, considered a prohibited form of continuing involvement under ASC 840-40 and therefore involvement that precluded us from derecognizing the asset and associated financing obligation. As such, we reclassified the asset from construction in progress to Property Plant and Equipment and began to depreciate the building over its estimated useful life of twenty five years. We concluded that the term of the financing obligation is 10 years (the “Initial Term”). This is equal to the non-cancellable term of our lease agreement with the Landlord. At the inception of the lease, the asset and financing obligation recorded on the balance sheet was $20.0 million, which was based on using an interest rate of 6.33% over the initial term. The financing obligation will be settled through a combination of periodic cash rental payments and the return of the leased property at the expiration of the lease. We do not report rent expense for the property which is deemed owned for accounting purposes. Rather, rental payments required under the lease are considered debt service and applied the deemed landlord financing obligation and interest expense. The Building and financing obligation are being amortized in a manner that will not generate a gain or loss upon lease termination. Bank Guarantee On May 7, 2012, Pte obtained a bank guarantee from DBS Bank Ltd., which was furnished to the Landlord and expired on May 9, 2013, at which time Pte replaced the bank guarantee with a cash deposit of an equivalent amount. The cash deposit was refunded on December 6, 2013. Credit facility On November 22, 2013, the Company obtained a $5.0 million credit facility with Citibank in connection with the issuance of a bank guarantee of $3.4 million Singapore dollars to the Landlord in connection with the Lease Agreement. The bank guarantee is effective from December 1, 2013.
