During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we repurchased or redeemed $367.9 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.15% senior notes due February 2018 for approximately $387.3 million in cash, reflecting principal and approximately $5.6 million of accrued and unpaid interest. The difference represents the premiums paid in connection with these repurchases or redemptions and is included in other, net in our condensed consolidated statement of income (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. 0.75% Senior Exchangeable Notes Due January 2024 In January 2017, Nabors Industries, Inc. (“Nabors Delaware”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nabors, issued $575 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.75% exchangeable senior unsecured notes due 2024, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Nabors. The notes bear interest at a rate of 0.75% per year payable semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2017. The exchangeable notes are bifurcated for accounting purposes into debt and equity components of $411.2 million and $163.8 million, respectively, based on the relative fair value. Debt issuance costs of $9.6 million and equity issuance costs of $3.9 million were capitalized in connection with the issuance of these notes in long-term debt and netted against the proceeds allocated to the equity component, respectively, in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The debt issuance costs are being amortized through January 2024. The exchangeable notes are exchangeable, under certain conditions, at an initial exchange rate of 39.75 common shares of Nabors per $1,000 principal amount of exchangeable notes (equivalent to an initial exchange price of approximately $25.16 per common share). Upon any exchange, Nabors Delaware will settle its exchange obligation in cash, common shares of Nabors, or a combination of cash and common shares, at our election. In connection with the pricing of the notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions which are expected to reduce potential dilution to common shares and/or offset potential cash payments required to be made in excess of the principal amount upon any exchange of notes. Such reduction and/or offset is subject to a cap representing a price per share of $31.45, an approximately 75.0% premium over our share price of $17.97 as of the date of the transaction. The capped call meets the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, as it has an underlying (the Company’s share price), a notional amount (the number of underlying shares to be purchased per option), an initial net investment less (by more than a nominal amount) than the amount that would have to be paid to own the underlying and provides for a default net share settlement (but could also be settled in cash at the election of the Company). However, the capped call meets the derivative scope exception under ASC 815 for instruments indexed to the Company’s own stock and classified in shareholders’ equity and therefore was initially recorded in equity. Until such time as the Company elects a settlement method for the exchangeable notes, the capped call transaction will continue to be accounted for as equity. At conversion, if the Company elects to partially settle the notes in cash in excess of the principal amount, or fully in cash, the capped call will be subject to mark to market through earnings as a derivative until such settlement is paid. The net proceeds from the offering of the exchangeable notes were used to prepay the remaining balance of our unsecured term loan originally scheduled to mature in 2020, as well as to pay the cost of the capped call transactions. The remaining net proceeds from the offering were allocated for general corporate purposes, including to repurchase or repay other indebtedness. Commercial Paper Program As of September 30, 2017, we had approximately $78.0 million of commercial paper outstanding. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings at September 30, 2017 was 1.83%. Our commercial paper borrowings are classified as long-term debt because the borrowings are fully supported by availability under our revolving credit facility, which matures as currently structured in July 2020, more than one year from now. Revolving Credit Facility As of September 30, 2017, we had $410.0 million outstanding under our $2.25 billion revolving credit facility, which matures in July 2020. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings at September 30, 2017 was 2.59%. The revolving credit facility contains various covenants and restrictive provisions that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make investments or loans and create liens and require us to maintain a net funded indebtedness to total capitalization ratio, as defined in the agreement. Availability under the revolving credit facility is subject to a covenant not to exceed a net debt to capital ratio of 0.60:1. We were in compliance with all covenants under the agreement at September 30, 2017. If we fail to perform our obligations under the covenants, the revolving credit commitment could be terminated, and any outstanding borrowings under the facility could be declared immediately due and payable. Term Loan Facility On September 29, 2015, Nabors Delaware entered into a new five-year unsecured term loan facility for $325.0 million, which was fully and unconditionally guaranteed by us. The term loan facility contained a mandatory prepayment of $162.5 million due in September 2018, which was repaid in December 2016 utilizing a portion of the proceeds received in connection with the 5.50% senior notes offering. In January 2017, we repaid the remaining $162.5 million term loan utilizing the proceeds received in connection with the 0.75% senior exchangeable notes and the facility was terminated.
