(1)As of September 30, 2021, the senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) had a facility size of $450.0 million, no outstanding borrowings and $28.5 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in $421.5 million of borrowing base availability. (2)Other secured subsidiary debt consists of finance lease obligations maturing at various dates from 2022 through 2045. The Company’s weighted average interest rate was 5.4% and 5.5% as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The aggregate market value of the Company’s debt based on market prices for which quotes were available was approximately $5.9 billion and $6.2 billion as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Under the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820-10-35, the market value of the Company’s debt is classified as either Level 1 or Level 2. On July 16, 2021, iHeartCommunications, Inc. ("iHeartCommunications") entered into an amendment to the credit agreement governing its Term Loan credit facilities. The amendment reduced the interest rate of its Incremental Term Loan Facility due 2026 to a Eurocurrency Rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 3.25% and floor of 0.50% (from LIBOR plus a margin of 4.00% and floor of 0.75%). The Base Rate interest amount was reduced to Base Rate plus a margin of 2.25% and floor of 1.50%. In connection with the amendment, iHeartCommunications voluntarily prepaid $250.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan credit facilities with cash on hand, resulting in a reduction of $44.3 million of the existing Incremental Term Loan Facility due 2026 and $205.7 million of the Term Loan Facility due 2026. Under the terms of the Term Loan Facility Credit Agreement, iHeartCommunications made quarterly principal payments of $6.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, and previously made payments of $5.25 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020. Following the prepayment of $250.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan credit facilities on July 16, 2021, iHeartCommunications is no longer required to make such quarterly payments. Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock As previously disclosed, on March 14, 2018, the Company, iHeartCommunications and certain of the Company's direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (the "Bankruptcy Court"). On April 28, 2018, the Company and the other Debtors filed a plan of reorganization (as amended, the “Plan of Reorganization”) and a related disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court. On January 22, 2019, the Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. On May 1, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, iHeart Operations issued 60,000 shares of its Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "iHeart Operations Preferred Stock"), having an aggregate initial liquidation preference of $60.0 million for a cash purchase price of $60.0 million. The iHeart Operations Preferred Stock was purchased by a third party investor. As of September 30, 2021, the liquidation preference of the iHeart Operations Preferred Stock was $60.0 million. The iHeart Operations Preferred Stock was mandatorily redeemable for cash at a date certain and therefore is classified as a liability in the Company's balance sheet. On October 27, 2021, iHeart Operations repurchased all of the iHeart Operations Preferred Stock with cash on hand for an aggregate price of $64.4 million (“Redemption Price”), including accrued dividends, upon obtaining consent from the third party investor. The Redemption Price included a negotiated make-whole premium as the redemption occurred prior to the optional redemption date set forth in the Certificate of Designation governing the iHeart Operations Preferred Stock. Subsequent to the transaction, the preferred shares were retired and cancelled and are no longer outstanding. Holders of the iHeart Operations Preferred Stock were entitled to receive, as declared by the board of directors of iHeart Operations, in respect of each share, cumulative dividends accruing daily and payable quarterly. Dividends were payable on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year (or on the next business day if such date is not a business day). During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 the Company recognized $2.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of interest expense related to dividends on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 the Company recognized $6.9 million and $6.9 million, respectively, of interest expense related to dividends on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock. Surety Bonds, Letters of Credit and Guarantees As of September 30, 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries had outstanding surety bonds, commercial standby letters of credit and bank guarantees of $8.8 million, $28.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively. These surety bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees relate to various operational matters including insurance, lease and performance bonds as well as other items.
