Credit Facilities
On October 15, 2021, the Company refinanced its previously outstanding credit facilities by entering into a new senior secured credit agreement among the Company, its subsidiaries CBS, Conduent State & Local Solutions, Inc. (CSLS) and Affiliated Computer Services International B.V., the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as the administrative agent (Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement contains senior secured credit facilities (Senior Credit Facilities) consisting of:
(i)    Senior Secured Term Loan A (Term Loan A) with an aggregate principal amount of $265 million;
(ii)    Senior Secured Term Loan B (Term Loan B) with an aggregate principal amount of $515 million; and
(iii)    Senior Revolving Credit Facility maturing 2026 (Revolving Credit Facility) with an aggregate available amount of $550 million including a sub-limit for up to $300 million available for the issuance of letters of credit.
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company repaid $100 million of its $550 million Revolving Credit Facility that was outstanding as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no outstanding balance under its Revolving Credit Facility. However, the Company utilized $2 million of its Revolving Credit Facility capacity to issue letters of credit. The net amount available to be drawn upon under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2022, was $548 million.
The Credit Agreement permits the Company to request incremental term loan borrowings and /or increase commitments, subject to certain limitations and satisfaction of certain conditions.
Borrowings under the Term Loan A, the Term Loan B and the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at the Issuers’ option, at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin over a base rate or a Eurocurrency rate, depending on the type of loan. The applicable margin for the Term Loan A and the Revolving Credit Facility for Eurocurrency loans range from 1.75% to 2.75% per annum, depending on certain leverage ratios and for base rate loans range from 0.75% to 1.75% per annum. The margin for Eurocurrency loans at December 31, 2022 was 2.25%. The applicable margin for the Term Loan B for Eurocurrency loans does not change based on leverage ratios and is 4.25% per annum and for base rate loans is 3.25% per annum. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.3% to 0.5% per annum to the lenders in respect of unutilized commitments thereunder and the commitment fee was 0.4% at December 31, 2022. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, in the event there is a benchmark transition, the Eurocurrency rate will reference the benchmark replacement rate as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Company does not anticipate this transition will have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
All obligations under the Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company, CBS and CSLS, and the existing and future direct and indirect wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries of CBS (subject to certain exceptions). All obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a first-priority pledge of substantially all assets of CBS and the subsidiary guarantors, and all of the capital stock of CBS and each of CBS' wholly owned material restricted subsidiaries directly held by CBS and CSLS or a subsidiary guarantor (which pledges, in the case of any foreign subsidiary, are limited to 65% of the capital stock of any first-tier foreign subsidiary).
The Credit Agreement contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, restrictions, prepayment terms and events of default. It requires the consolidated first lien net leverage ratio to not exceed 3.50 to 1.00. This covenant applies to the Term Loan A and Revolving Credit Facility. The covenant is tested as of the last day of any fiscal quarter commencing with the first full fiscal quarter after the closing date. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants related to the Senior Credit Facilities. No mandatory debt prepayments were made as it was not required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.
Senior Notes
Concurrent with the Credit Agreement, on October 15, 2021, CBS and CSLS (collectively, the Issuers) issued 6.00% fixed rate senior notes due 2029 (Senior Notes). The Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company and existing and future material direct and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiaries of CBS that guaranteed the obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities.
Interest is payable semi-annually. Prior to November 1, 2024, the Issuers can redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a price equal to the principal amount of the Senior Notes, plus a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Issuers can redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after November 1, 2024, at the redemption prices specified in the Indenture governing the Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to but excluding the redemption date. In addition, the Company may be required to make an offer to purchase the notes upon the sale of certain assets and upon a change of control. No Senior Notes were redeemed in 2022.

In connection with the refinancing, the Company recorded deferred discounts and debt issuance costs of $30 million in 2021. Additionally, the Company wrote-off debt issuance costs and discounts related to its previously outstanding credit facilities of $13 million which is included in Loss on extinguishment of debt in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for the year ended December 31, 2021.
