The Credit Agreement Amendments, among other things, (a) modified the leverage ratio requirements, and (b) introduced a minimum liquidity covenant applicable through the Company’s quarter ending September 27, 2024 and a minimum free cash flow requirement applicable through the Company’s quarter ending December 29, 2023. The Credit Agreement Amendments also accelerate the due date for amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement from January 7, 2027 to November 2, 2023 if, as of that date, the Company does not have cash and cash equivalents plus available unused capacity under its 2027 Revolving Facility (as defined below) that is at least $1.40 billion plus the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness that matures within 12 months of such date (including the 2024 Convertible Notes and the Delayed Draw Term Loan (as such terms are defined below)). As amended, the Company is required to comply with maintaining a maximum ratio (“Leverage Ratio”) of total funded debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) at the end of each quarter as follows: Quarter ending Leverage ratio June 30, 2023 5.50 to 1.00 September 29, 2023 N/A (1) to 1.00 December 29, 2023 N/A (1) to 1.00 March 29, 2024 6.25 to 1.00 June 28, 2024 5.25 to 1.00 September 27, 2024 5.00 to 1.00 December 27, 2024 4.50 to 1.00 March 28, 2025 4.00 to 1.00 June 25, 2025 3.75 to 1.00 Thereafter 3.25 to 1.00 (1) Leverage ratio is not required. For the purpose of the Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is calculated on a trailing twelve-month basis, except that for the quarters ending March 29, 2024, June 28, 2024 and September 27, 2024, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA shall be: (a) for the quarter ending March 29, 2024, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for such quarter multiplied by four, (b) for the quarter ending June 28, 2024, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for such quarter and the immediately preceding quarter multiplied by two and (c) for the quarter ending September 27, 2024, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for such quarter and the two immediately preceding quarters multiplied by four-thirds. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires the Company and its subsidiaries to maintain minimum liquidity (defined as the sum of cash and cash equivalents plus available unused capacity under its 2027 Revolving Facility less the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness that matures within 12 months of such date, excluding indebtedness under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (as defined below)) of $2.00 billion at the end of each quarter through September 23, 2024, and Free Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of no less than $(550) million as of June 30, 2023, $(500) million as of September 29, 2023 and $(500) million as of December 29, 2023; provided that if Free Cash Flow is greater than the amount noted as of the applicable quarter end date, the amount by which Free Cash Flow exceeds the stated amount may be carried forward to subsequent quarters such that the minimum Free Cash Flow amount for such fiscal quarter is increased by the amount of such excess. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to comply with customary covenants that include, among others, limitations on the incurrence of additional debt, liens on property, acquisitions and investments, loans and guarantees, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, asset sales, dividends and other payments in respect of the Company’s capital stock, prepayments of certain debt, transactions with affiliates and certain modifications of organizational documents and certain debt agreements. The Term Loan A-2 Loan bears interest, at the Company’s option, at a per annum rate equal to either (x) the Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Loan Agreement) plus an applicable margin varying from 1.125% to 2.000% or (y) a base rate plus an applicable margin varying from 0.125% to 1.000%, in each case depending on the corporate family ratings of the Company from at least two of Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”), with an initial interest rate of Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.375%. During 2022, the Company made scheduled and voluntary principal payments aggregating $300 million on its Term Loan A-2. $150 million was applied toward scheduled amortization through the quarter ending September 29, 2023 and the remainder towards the principal due at maturity. The annualized interest rate for Term Loan A-2 as of June 30, 2023 was 6.557%. As of June 30, 2023, the remaining balance of Term Loan A-2 amortizes in quarterly installments of $38 million per quarter beginning with the quarter ending December 29, 2023, and the remaining balance is payable at maturity on January 7, 2027. Issuance costs for Term Loan A-2 are amortized to Interest expense over its term and unamortized costs were $13 million as of June 30, 2023. During the year ended June 30, 2023, the Company drew and repaid $1.18 billion principal amount under its $2.25 billion revolving credit facility maturing in January 2027 (the “2027 Revolving Facility”). Loans under the 2027 Revolving Facility bear interest at a per annum rate, at the Company’s option, equal to either (x) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) plus an applicable margin varying from 1.125% to 2.000% or (y) a base rate plus an applicable margin varying from 0.125% to 1.000%, in each case depending on the corporate family ratings of the Company from at least two of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch, with an initial rate of Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.375%. The Company is also required to pay an unused commitment fee on the 2027 Revolving Facility ranging from 0.120% to 0.350% based on the corporate family ratings of the Company from at least two of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch, with an initial unused commitment fee of 0.200%. In January 2023, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement”), which allowed the Company to draw a single loan of up to $875 million through June 30, 2023. In June 2023, the Company entered into a first amendment and a second amendment to the Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (as amended, the “Amended Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement”), which together extended the term loan commitments under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement until August 14, 2023, and reduced the term loan commitments from $875 million to $600 million (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”). As of June 30, 2023, the Company had not drawn on the Delayed Draw Term Loan. In August 2023, the Company drew the Delayed Draw Term Loan in the amount of $600 million. The principal amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loan will mature on June 28, 2024. However, the due date will be accelerated to November 2, 2023, if, as of that date, the Company does not have cash and cash equivalents plus available unused capacity under its 2027 Revolving Facility that is at least $1.40 billion plus the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness that matures within 12 months (including the 2024 Convertible Notes (as defined below) and the Delayed Draw Term Loan). The Delayed Draw Term Loan bears interest, at the Company’s option, at a per annum rate equal to either (x) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Amended Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement) plus an applicable margin varying from 1.750% to 2.625% or (y) a base rate plus an applicable margin varying from 0.750% to 1.625%, in each case depending on the corporate family ratings of the Company from at least two of the Credit Rating Agencies (as defined in the Amended Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement). The Company pays an unused commitment fee on the Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement of 0.200%. The key covenants, limitations and requirements provided under the Credit Agreement noted above also apply to the Amended Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement. In December 2021, the Company issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 2.850% senior notes due February 1, 2029 (the “2029 Senior Notes”) and issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.100% senior notes due February 1, 2032 (the “2032 Senior Notes”) pursuant to the terms of an indenture, dated as of December 10, 2021 (the “Base Indenture”) between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Senior Notes Trustee”), as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture dated as of December 10, 2021 (the “Senior Notes First Supplemental Indenture”) between the Company and the Senior Notes Trustee. As used herein, “Indenture” means the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Senior Notes First Supplemental Indenture. Interest for both the 2029 Senior Notes and 2032 Senior Notes is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The Company is not required to make principal payments on either the 2029 Senior Notes or 2032 Senior Notes prior to their maturity dates. In February 2018, the Company issued $1.10 billion aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due February 1, 2024 (the “2024 Convertible Notes”). The 2024 Convertible Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 1.50% with interest payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The Company is not required to make principal payments on the 2024 Convertible Notes prior to the maturity date. Holders of the 2024 Convertible Notes may freely convert their 2024 Convertible Notes on or after November 1, 2023 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date at an initial conversion price of $121.91 per share of common stock. Prior to November 1, 2023, holders may convert their 2024 Convertible Notes based on variations in market price of the Company’s common stock in relation to the conversion price or the trading price of the 2024 Convertible Notes or upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. The Company is required to settle any conversion value with the principal amount of the 2024 Convertible Notes settled in cash and any excess value in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof, pursuant to the terms of an indenture, dated as of February 13, 2018 between the Company, HGST, Inc., WD Media, LLC, Western Digital (Fremont), LLC, Western Digital Technologies, Inc. and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “ Convertible Notes Trustee”), as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture dated as of June 30, 2022 between the Company and the Convertible Notes Trustee. As of June 30, 2023, none of the conditions allowing holders of the Convertible Notes to convert had been met. Since February 5, 2021, the Company may redeem all or part of the 2024 Convertible Notes, at its option, if the market price of the Company’s stock achieves certain levels. As described in Note 2, Recent Accounting Pronouncements , the Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective July 2, 2022, using a modified retrospective method, which resulted in the elimination of the originally recorded debt discount associated with the conversion feature on the 2024 Convertible Notes. As of June 30, 2023, debt discount and issuance costs of $2 million remained unamortized. In February 2018, the Company issued $2.30 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due February 15, 2026 (the “2026 Senior Unsecured Notes”). The 2026 Senior Unsecured Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 4.750% with interest payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The Company is not required to make principal payments on the 2026 Senior Unsecured Notes prior to the maturity date. Issuance costs for the 2026 Senior Unsecured Notes are amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2026 Senior Unsecured Notes and as of June 30, 2023, issuance costs of $7 million remained unamortized. The indentures and supplemental indentures, as applicable, governing the Company’s 2029 Senior Notes, 2032 Senior Notes, 2026 Senior Unsecured Notes and the 2024 Convertible Notes each contain various restrictive covenants, which can include limitations on the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of their assets; create liens; and incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness, and are subject to a number of limitations and exceptions. In connection with the amendments discussed above, the 2027 Revolving Facility, Term Loan A-2, and the Delayed Draw Term Loan (the “Credit Facilities”) have been unconditionally guaranteed by Western Digital Technologies, Inc. (the “Initial Guarantor”) and are secured on a first-priority basis (subject to permitted liens) by a lien on substantially all assets and properties of the Company and the Initial Guarantor (the “Collateral”), subject to certain exceptions. Furthermore, the obligations under the Company’s 2.850% Senior Notes due 2029 and 3.100% Senior Notes due 2032 have been secured by the Collateral on an equal and ratable basis to the obligations under the Credit Facilities for so long as and to the extent required under the terms of the Indenture, and the obligations under the Company’s 2026 Senior Unsecured Notes have been guaranteed by the Initial Guarantor pursuant to the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 20, 2023 (the “2026 Senior Notes First Supplemental Indenture”) for so long as and to the extent required under the terms of the indenture governing such notes and the 2026 Senior Notes First Supplemental Indenture.
