A summary of our outstanding indebtedness as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is set forth below (in thousands):
(1) In connection with the EMC Acquisition, the Company assumed legacy EMC credit-agreement indebtedness, including this facility. This legacy EMC indebtedness was subsequently replaced by the 2017 Credit Agreement (as described in Note 8. Financing Arrangements).
(2) This facility is a component of the 2017 Credit Agreement.
(3) The principal amount outstanding of the 2.75% convertible senior notes due 2035 as set forth in the foregoing table was $82.5 million as of September 30, 2017, and are not the carrying amounts of this indebtedness (i.e., outstanding principal amount net of debt issuance costs and discount associated with the equity component).
Senior Secured Credit Agreement (2017 Credit Agreement)
On January 6, 2017, we entered into a senior secured credit agreement (“2017 Credit Agreement”) that provides for aggregate principal borrowings of up to $585 million, consisting of a $500 million term-loan facility (the “2017 Term Loans”) maturing January 6, 2023 and a $85 million revolving credit facility (the “2017 Revolving Loans”) maturing January 6, 2022. (As of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q, we have fully drawn the term-loan facility and—other than approximately $1 million of availability that we are reserving for foreign currency fluctuations on outstanding letters of credit—have also fully drawn the revolving credit facility.) We used the proceeds of borrowings under the 2017 Credit Agreement to repay the then outstanding balance under a former EMC credit facility assumed in the EMC Acquisition and terminated the former credit facility assumed from EMC. In connection with this January 2017 refinancing, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $14.5 million during the first quarter of 2017.
The 2017 Term Loans initially bore interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement) plus 6.00% or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement) plus 5.00% or (iii) the Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement) for each Interest Period (as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement) plus 6.00%. The 2017 Credit Agreement initially required quarterly principal payments equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Term Loans, with such payments reduced for prepayments in accordance with the terms of the 2017 Credit Agreement. The 2017 Revolving Loans initially bore interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Base Rate plus 5.00% or (ii) the Eurocurrency Rate or EURIBOR (as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement) plus 6.00% until the delivery of financial statements for the first full fiscal quarter ending after the date of the 2017 Credit Agreement (“Closing Date”). After the delivery of those financial statements, 2017 Revolving Loans bear interest at a rate based on the Base Rate, Eurocurrency Rate or EURIBOR (each as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement) plus an interest-rate spread thereon that varies based on the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement). The spread thereon initially ranged from 4.50% to 5.00% for the Base Rate and 5.50% to 6.00% for the Eurocurrency Rate and EURIBOR. In May 2017 and October 2017, the interest rates and required quarterly principal payments for the 2017 Term Loans and the interest rates and interest-rate spreads for the 2017 Revolving Loans were amended as described below in Note 16. Subsequent Events.
The 2017 Credit Agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of credit in the amount equal to the lesser of $15.0 million and the aggregate amount of the then-remaining revolving loan commitment. As of September 30, 2017, we had outstanding letters of credit of $5.9 million under the 2017 Credit Agreement.
Certain of our subsidiaries are guarantors of our obligations under the 2017 Credit Agreement. In addition, the 2017 Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets, including a pledge of all of the outstanding capital stock of substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the shares or equity interests of foreign subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.
The 2017 Credit Agreement contains various customary restrictive covenants that limit our ability to, among other things: create or incur liens on assets; make any investments, loans or advances; incur additional indebtedness, engage in mergers, dissolutions, liquidations or consolidations; engage in transactions with affiliates; make dispositions; and declare or make dividend payments. The 2017 Credit Agreement requires us to maintain compliance with a maximum consolidated first lien net leverage ratio, as set forth in the 2017 Credit Agreement. In addition, the 2017 Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties as to whether a material adverse effect on us has occurred since January 6, 2017, the closing date of the 2017 Credit Agreement. One of the conditions to drawing on the revolving credit facility is confirmation that the representations and warranties in the 2017 Credit Agreement are true on the date of borrowing, and if we are unable to make that confirmation, including that no material adverse effect has occurred, we will be unable to draw down further on the revolver. As of March 31, 2017, we were not in compliance with reporting covenants relating to the delivery of financial statements and other information. However, we have since obtained waivers from our lenders that extended the deadlines for delivery thereof (as described below in Note 16. Subsequent Events), and we have not at any time been in default under the 2017 Credit Agreement.
First Amendment to 2017 Credit Agreement and Limited Waiver to 2017 Credit Agreement
Prior to the Company entering into a First Amendment and Limited Waiver to Credit Agreement (the “May 2017 Amendment”), the Company obtained two short-term waivers that extended the Company’s deadline to deliver its audited annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 to May 4, 2017. On May 4, 2017, the Company signed the May 2017 Amendment, whereby the lenders waived the following events of default under the affirmative covenants. Failure to comply with any of the below requirements by their respective due dates would have constituted an immediate event of default.
The following affirmative covenant (pursuant to the May 2017 Amendment) was added to the 2017 Credit Agreement requiring the Company furnish the following information on a Current Report on Form 8-K by May 31, 2017, with the failure to comply with the requirement constituting an immediate event of default:
The Company complied with this affirmative covenant by the due date.
Under the 2017 Credit Agreement (as amended by the May 2017 Amendment), the Initial Term Loans (as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement) initially bore interest on the outstanding amount at a rate per annum equal to either (i) the Base Rate plus 6.00% or (ii) the Eurocurrency Rate for each Interest Period plus 7.00%. In October 2017, these interest rates increased as described below and in Note 16. Subsequent Events.
The 2017 Revolving Loans initially bore interest at a rate equal to either (i) the Base Rate plus 6.00% or (ii) the Eurocurrency Rate or EURIBOR plus 7.00% until the Company delivered its unaudited financial statements for the quarter ending June 30, 2017, but those interest rates increased in October 2017 as described below. After the delivery of those unaudited financial statements, the 2017 Revolving Loans will bear interest at a rate based on the Base Rate, Eurocurrency Rate or EURIBOR plus an interest-rate spread thereon that varies on the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio. The spread thereon ranged from 5.50% to 6.00% for the Base Rate and 6.50% to 7.00% for the Eurocurrency Rate and EURIBOR, but those spreads increased in October 2017 as described below and in Note 16. Subsequent Events.
The 2017 Credit Agreement (as amended by the May 2017 Amendment) requires quarterly principal payments equal to (i) 0.625% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans for each of the first eight quarterly payment dates after May 4, 2017 and (ii) 1.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans for each quarterly payment date occurring thereafter.
The May 2017 Amendment modified certain restrictive covenants and the maximum Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio under the 2017 Credit Agreement In connection with the May 2017 Amendment, the Company paid each lender that consented to that amendment a consent fee in the amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments and outstanding Term Loans held by such lenders as of May 4, 2017. The fee paid totaled $5.6 million.
Amendment to First Amendment and Limited Waiver to Credit Agreement and Second Amendment to Credit Agreement
On June 29, 2017, the Company entered into an Amendment to First Amendment and Limited Waiver to Credit Agreement and Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “June 2017 Amendment”). Pursuant to the June 2017 Amendment:
Under the June 2017 Amendment, the Company agreed to pay to the lenders that consented to the June 2017 Amendment (“June 2017 Consenting Lenders”): (i) if the Company had not delivered the Annual Financial Statement Deliverables on or prior to June 30, 2017, a fee in an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the revolving credit commitments and term loans held by the June 2017 Consenting Lenders as of June 30, 2017; (ii) if the Company had not delivered the Annual Financial Statement Deliverables on or prior to July 31, 2017, a fee in an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the revolving credit commitments and term loans held by the June 2017 Consenting Lenders as of July 31, 2017; and (iii) if the Company had not delivered the Annual Financial Statement Deliverables on or prior to August 31, 2017, a fee in an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the revolving credit commitments and term loans held by the June 2017 Consenting Lenders as of August 31, 2017. The fees paid pursuant to this paragraph totaled $3.9 million.
Second Amendment to Limited Waiver to Credit Agreement
On September 13, 2017, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Limited Waiver to Credit Agreement (the “September 2017 Extension”) that amends the June 2017 Amendment as follows:
The First October 2017 Amendment, Second October 2017 Amendment, November 2017 Extension and December 2017 Amendment amended these requirements as described below in Note 16. Subsequent Events.
Under the September 2017 Extension, the Company agreed to pay to the lenders that consented to the September 2017 Extension (the “September 2017 Consenting Lenders”) a fee in an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments and Term Loans held by the September 2017 Consenting Lenders as of September 13, 2017. The fee paid totaled $1.4 million.
2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2035
In February 2015, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $82.5 million of convertible senior notes due 2035 (the “Convertible Notes”) in a private placement. The Convertible Notes were issued at par, pay interest semi-annually in arrears at an annual rate of 2.75% and mature on February 15, 2035, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes. In certain circumstances and subject to certain conditions, the Convertible Notes are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 53.9084 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $18.55 per share), subject to adjustment. Holders of the Convertible Notes may convert their Convertible Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding November 15, 2034, only if one or more of the following conditions has been satisfied: (1) during any calendar quarter beginning after March 31, 2015 if the closing price of our common stock equals or exceeds 130% of the respective conversion price per share during a defined period at the end of the previous quarter, (2) during the five consecutive business day period immediately following any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes for each trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if specified corporate transactions occur, or (4) if we call any or all of the Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the redemption date. On or after November 15, 2034, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, a holder may convert all or a portion of its Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
On February 20, 2022, February 20, 2025 and February 20, 2030 and if we undergo a “fundamental change” (as defined in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes (the “Indenture”)), subject to certain conditions, a holder will have the option to require us to repurchase all or a portion of its Convertible Notes for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the relevant repurchase date. If our common stock ceases to be listed or quoted on Nasdaq, this would constitute a “fundamental change,” as defined in the Indenture, and the holders of the Convertible Notes would have the right to require us to repurchase all or a portion of their convertible notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of our convertible notes to be repurchased. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “make-whole fundamental change” (as defined in the Indenture) or if we deliver a redemption notice prior to February 20, 2022, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder that converts its Convertible Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change or redemption notice, as the case may be.
The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to February 20, 2019. The Company may, at its option, redeem all or part of the Convertible Notes at any time (i) on or after February 20, 2019 if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide written notice of redemption and (ii) on or after February 20, 2022 regardless of the sale price condition described in clause (i), in each case, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. Upon conversion of any Convertible Note, we shall pay or deliver to the converting noteholder cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election.
The Company separated the Convertible Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component of $69.5 million (as of September 30, 2017) was calculated by measuring the fair value of similar liabilities that do not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component was calculated to be $13.0 million (as of September 30, 2017), and represents the conversion option which was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the principal amount of the notes. This difference represents a debt discount that is amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.
In accounting for the direct transaction costs (the “issuance costs”) related to the Convertible Notes, we allocated the total amount of issuance costs incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. We recorded issuance costs of $1.8 million and $0.3 million to the liability and equity components, respectively. Issuance costs, including fees paid to the initial purchasers who acted as intermediaries in the placement of the Convertible Notes, attributable to the liability component are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt instrument and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The issuance costs attributable to the equity component are netted with the equity component and included within Additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest expense related to the amortization expense of the issuance costs associated with the liability component was not material during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2017.
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the outstanding principal on the Convertible Notes was $82.5 million, and the outstanding Convertible Notes balance, net of debt issuance costs and discount associated with the equity component, was $69.5 million and $69.0 million, respectively. Subsequent to March 31, 2017, we became non-compliant with our obligations under the Indenture relating to the delivery to the Indenture trustee of our 2016 annual financial statements and interim financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2017 and such non-compliance constituted an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) under the Indenture. As a result, immediately after the occurrence of the Event of Default and through such time as the noncompliance was continuing, we incurred additional interest on the Convertible Notes at a rate equal to (i) 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes outstanding for each day during the first 90 days after the occurrence of each Event of Default and (ii) 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes outstanding from the 91st day until the 180th day following the occurrence of each such Event of Default. (The Company cured its non-compliance relating to the delivery of the 2016 annual financial statements by filing its 2016 Form 10-K on November 17, 2017 and relating to the delivery of the March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2017 financial statements by filing the Q1 Form 10-Q and the Q2 Form 10-Q concurrently with the filing of this Form 10-Q.) However, the maximum additional interest was capped at 0.50% per annum irrespective of how many Events of Default are in existence at any time for our failure to deliver any required financial statements. The aggregate penalty interest incurred during this period of non-compliance was approximately $0.2 million.
On the 181st day after each Event of Default (such 181st date, the “Notes Acceleration Date”) the Convertible Notes will be immediately due and payable if the noncompliance is not cured or waived by such date and the noteholders elect to so accelerate. For the interim financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2017, the Notes Acceleration Date would have occurred in February 2018, May 2018 and September 2018, respectively. As noted above, the Company cured the Events of Default relating to the delivery of the 2016 annual financial statements by filing its 2016 Form 10-K on November 17, 2017 and relating to the March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2017 financial statements by filing the Q1 Form 10-Q, the Q2 Form 10-Q and this Form 10-Q. As such, the noteholders will not have any right to elect to accelerate the Convertible Notes as a result of those Events of Default.
Other Debt
With the acquisition of Travel Entertainment Group Equity Limited and subsidiaries (“IFES”) on October 18, 2013, the Company assumed a $1.1 million mortgage maturing in October 2032 that bears interest at a rate equal to 1.75% per annum. Interest is paid on a monthly basis. There was no accrued interest owing on the mortgage as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there was $0.7 million due on the principal amount of the mortgage.
In connection with the EMC Acquisition, the Company assumed approximately $1.1 million of capital lease obligations. The Company also entered into an additional $1.0 million capital lease obligation during 2016. These leases expire at various dates through 2020. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $1.9 million and $2.0 million of capital lease obligations, respectively, included in Other debt. Other debts also include an equipment financing arrangement totaling $0.4 million as of September 30, 2017, which is to mature in June 2019.
The aggregate contractual maturities of all borrowings due subsequent to September 30, 2017 are as follows (in thousands):
