[1] | Not included in this table, the Company had $135 million of outstanding letters of credit at September 30, 2015, of which $53 million was under the synthetic letter of credit facility with a rate of 4.25% and $82 million was under the unsecured letter of credit facility with a rate of 2.98%.
[2] | Consists of a $1,872 million Term Loan B, less a discount of $14 million. There is 1% per annum amortization of principal. The interest rate with respect to the Term Loan B Facility is based on, at Realogy Group’s option, (a) adjusted LIBOR plus 3.00% (with a LIBOR floor of 0.75%) or (b) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.’s prime rate ("ABR") plus 2.00% (with an ABR floor of 1.75%).
[3] | See Note 11, "Subsequent Events" for a description of the October 2015 amendment of the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and entry into a new Senior Secured Term Loan A Facility. The net proceeds of the Term Loan A Facility together with revolver borrowings were used to discharge the First Lien Notes in October 2015. As of November 3, 2015, after giving effect to the amendment of the facility, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility, leaving $815 million of available capacity.
[4] | Interest rates with respect to revolving loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility at September 30, 2015 were based on, at Realogy Group’s option, (a) adjusted LIBOR plus 2.75% or (b) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.'s prime rate ("ABR") plus 1.75%.
[5] | Available capacity is subject to maintaining sufficient relocation related assets to collateralize these securitization obligations.
[6] | In June 2015, Realogy Group amended the existing Apple Ridge Funding LLC securitization program utilized by Cartus. The capacity under the facility was temporarily increased from $325 million to $375 million from June 2015 until October 2015, at which time the capacity was reduced to $325 million.
[7] | Consists of a £20 million revolving loan facility and a £5 million working capital facility.
