(1)On May 17, 2022, we entered into a $450.0 million New ABL Facility, maturing in 2027, which refinanced and replaced in its entirety the Existing ABL Facility. Refer to the 'Asset-based Revolving Credit Facility due 2027' section below for more information. (2)As of September 30, 2022, the New ABL Facility had a facility size of $450.0 million, no outstanding borrowings and $27.0 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in $423.0 million of borrowing base availability. (3)Other secured subsidiary debt consists of finance lease obligations maturing at various dates from 2023 through 2045. (4)During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of iHeartCommunications Inc.'s 8.375% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2027 for $68.1 million in cash, excluding accrued interest, via open market transactions. The repurchased notes were subsequently cancelled and retired, resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $6.9 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased $188.5 million aggregate principal amount of iHeartCommunications Inc.'s 8.375% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2027 for $173.4 million in cash, excluding accrued interest, via open market transactions. The repurchased notes were subsequently cancelled and retired, resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $15.1 million. The Company’s weighted average interest rate was 6.4% and 5.4% as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The aggregate market value of the Company’s debt based on market prices for which quotes were available was approximately $5.0 billion and $5.9 billion as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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. Asset-based Revolving Credit Facility due 2027 On May 17, 2022, iHeartCommunications, Inc., as borrower, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “New ABL Credit Agreement”) with iHeartMedia Capital I, LLC, the direct parent of iHeartCommunications, Inc., as parent guarantor, certain subsidiaries of iHeartCommunications, Inc. party thereto, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative and collateral agent, and each other lender party thereto from time to time, governing a new $450.0 million New ABL Facility, maturing in 2027, which refinanced and replaced in its entirety the Existing ABL Facility. The New ABL Facility includes a letter of credit sub-facility and a swingline loan sub-facility. Size and Availability The New ABL Facility provides for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $450.0 million, with amounts available from time to time (including in respect of letters of credit) equal to the lesser of (A) the borrowing base, which equals the sum of (i) 90.0% of the eligible accounts receivable of iHeartCommunications and the subsidiary guarantors and (ii) 100% of qualified cash, each subject to customary reserves and eligibility criteria, and (B) the aggregate revolving credit commitments. Subject to certain conditions, iHeartCommunications may at any time request one or more increases in the amount of revolving credit commitments, in an amount up to the sum of (x) $150.0 million and (y) the amount by which the borrowing base exceeds the aggregate revolving credit commitments. As of September 30, 2022, the New ABL Facility had a facility size of $450.0 million, no outstanding borrowings and $27.0 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in $423.0 million of borrowing base availability. Interest Rate and Fees Borrowings under the New ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable rate plus, at iHeartCommunications’ option, either (1) a base rate, (2) a term secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") (which includes a credit spread adjustment of 10 basis points) or (3) for certain foreign currencies, a eurocurrency rate. The applicable margin for borrowings under the New ABL Facility range from 1.25% to 1.75% for both eurocurrency and term SOFR borrowings and from 0.25% to 0.75% for base-rate borrowings, in each case, depending on average excess availability under the New ABL Facility based on the most recently ended fiscal quarter. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the New ABL Facility, iHeartCommunications is required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the New ABL Facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. The commitment fee rate ranges from 0.25% to 0.375% per annum dependent upon average unused commitments during the prior quarter. iHeartCommunications may also pay customary letter of credit fees. Maturity Borrowings under the New ABL Facility will mature, and commitments thereunder will terminate, on May 17, 2027. Prepayments If at any time, the sum of the outstanding amounts under the New ABL Facility exceeds the lesser of (i) the borrowing base and (ii) the aggregate commitments under the facility (such lesser amount, the “line cap”), iHeartCommunications is required to repay outstanding loans and cash collateralize letters of credit in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. iHeartCommunications may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the New ABL Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to eurocurrency rate loans. Any voluntary prepayments made by iHeartCommunications will not reduce iHeartCommunications’ commitments under the New ABL Facility. Guarantees and Security The New ABL Facility is guaranteed by the guarantors of iHeartCommunications’ existing Term Loan Facility. All obligations under the New ABL Facility, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by a perfected security interest in the accounts receivable and related assets of iHeartCommunications’ and all of the guarantors’ accounts receivable, qualified cash and related assets and proceeds thereof that is senior to the security interest of iHeartCommunications’ existing Term Loan Facility in such accounts receivable, qualified cash and related assets and proceeds thereof, subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions. Certain Covenants and Events of Default If borrowing availability is less than the greater of (a) $40.0 million and (b) 10% of the aggregate commitments under the New ABL Facility, in each case, for two consecutive business days (a “Trigger Event”), iHeartCommunications will be required to comply with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 for fiscal quarters ending on or after the occurrence of the Trigger Event, and must continue to comply with this minimum fixed charge coverage ratio until borrowing availability exceeds the greater of (x) $40.0 million and (y) 10% of the aggregate commitments under the New ABL Facility, in each case, for 20 consecutive calendar days, at which time the Trigger Event shall no longer be deemed to be occurring. As of September 30, 2022, no Trigger Event had occurred, and iHeartCommunications was not required to comply with this minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. Surety Bonds, Letters of Credit and Guarantees As of September 30, 2022, the Company and its subsidiaries had outstanding surety bonds, commercial standby letters of credit and bank guarantees of $8.8 million, $27.4 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.
