Under the terms of the U.S. AR Arrangement, which expires in May 2022, the Company’s subsidiary that is the borrower under this facility could borrow up to a maximum of $650,000 based upon eligible trade accounts receivable. In addition, the U.S. AR Arrangement includes an accordion feature to allow requests for an increase in the lenders’ commitment by an additional $150,000. The effective borrowing cost under the U.S. AR Arrangement is a blended rate based upon the composition of the lenders, that includes prevailing dealer commercial paper rates and a rate based upon LIBOR. In addition, a program fee payable on the used portion of the lenders’ commitment, accrues at 1.25% per annum in the case of lender groups who fund their advances based on prevailing commercial paper rates, and 1.30% per annum in the case of lender groups who fund their advances based on LIBOR (subject to a 0.50% per annum floor). A facility fee is payable on the adjusted commitment of the lenders, to accrue at different tiers ranging between 0.35% per annum and 0.45% per annum depending on the amount of outstanding advances from time to time. Under the terms of the U.S. Arrangement, the Company and two of its U.S. subsidiaries sell, on a revolving basis, their receivables to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. The borrowings are funded by pledging all of the rights, title and interest in the receivables acquired by the Company’s bankruptcy-remote subsidiary as security. Any amounts received under the U.S. AR Arrangement are recorded as debt on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. SYNNEX Canada accounts receivable securitization arrangement SYNNEX Canada Limited (“SYNNEX Canada”), the Company’s subsidiary in Canada, has an accounts receivable securitization program with a bank to provide additional capital for its operations. Under the terms of this program, which matures in May 2023, SYNNEX Canada can borrow up to CAD100,000, or $ 76,864, in exchange for the transfer of eligible trade accounts receivable, on an ongoing revolving basis. The program includes an accordion feature that allows SYNNEX Canada to request an increase in the bank’s commitment up to an additional CAD50,000, or $ 38,432. Any amounts received under this arrangement are recorded as debt on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and are secured by pledging all of the rights, title and interest in the receivables to the bank. The effective borrowing cost is based on the weighted-average of the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate plus a margin of 1.00% per annum and the prevailing lender commercial paper rates. In addition, prior to an event of termination, SYNNEX Canada is obligated to pay a program fee of 0.75% per annum based on the used portion of the commitment. After an event of termination, the program fee shall be the sum of the base rate and 2.50% per annum, based on the used portion of the commitment. SYNNEX Canada pays a fee of 0.40% per annum for any unused portion of the commitment up to CAD60,000, or $ 46,118, and when the unused portion exceeds CAD60,000, or $ 46,118, a fee of 0.55% per annum of the unused portion of the commitment.

The interest rate for the term loan and revolving credit facility is based on the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate, plus a margin, which is based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, and currently equals 0.70% per annum.

The Company may request incremental commitments to increase the principal amount of the revolving line of credit or term loan by $500,000, plus an additional amount which is dependent upon the Company’s pro forma first lien leverage ratio, as calculated under the U.S. Credit Agreement.

At November 30, 2020, in connection with the Separation, the Company partially repaid $535,000 of the term loan, using funds drawn by Concentrix from its borrowing arrangements. The remaining outstanding principal of the term loan is payable on maturity.

The margin for LIBOR loans ranges from 1.25% to 2.00% and the margin for base rate loans ranges from 0.25% to 1.00%, provided that LIBOR shall not be less than zero.

The unused revolving credit facility commitment fee ranges from 0.175% to 0.30% per annum. The margins above the applicable interest rates and the revolving commitment fee for revolving loans are based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, as calculated under the U.S. Credit Agreement.
