On October 13, 2015, HDS used proceeds from the sale of the Power Solutions business unit to redeem all of the outstanding $675 million aggregate principal amount of its April 2012 Second Priority Notes, as defined below, and paid a $72 million make-whole premium calculated in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing such notes and $37 million of accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date. As a result, the Company recorded an $80 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which includes the $72 million make-whole premium and the write-off of $8 million of unamortized deferred financing costs, in accordance with ASC 470-50, “Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments.” On August 13, 2015, HDS entered into an incremental amendment (the “Incremental Agreement”) to the credit agreement governing its Term Loan Facility, as defined below, pursuant to which HDS requested a borrowing of a new $850 million tranche of senior secured term loans (“Term Loans”), the proceeds of which, together with cash on hand and available borrowings under HDS’s Senior ABL Facility, were used to prepay in full the tranche of senior secured term loans outstanding under the Term Loan Facility as of the date of the Incremental Agreement. Pursuant to the Incremental Agreement, the Term Loans will mature on August 13, 2021 and bear interest at the reduced applicable margin for borrowings of 2.75% for LIBOR borrowings and 1.75% for base rate borrowings (down from, respectively, 3.00% and 2.00% applicable to the redeemed term loans), with the LIBOR floor to remain at 1.00%. The Term Loans amortize in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1.00% of the original principal amount of such Term Loans, beginning in December 2015 with the balance payable on such Term Loans’ maturity date. The Incremental Agreement also provides for a prepayment premium equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans being prepaid if, on or prior to February 13, 2016, the Company enters into certain repricing transactions. In connection with the amendment, the Company recorded a modification and extinguishment charge of $20 million, which includes financing fees of $5 million and $15 million to write off a portion of the related unamortized discount and deferred financing costs, in accordance with ASC 470-50, “Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments.” Senior Credit Facilities Asset Based Lending Facility HDS’s Senior Asset Based Lending Facility (“Senior ABL Facility”) provides for senior secured revolving loans and letters of credit of up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $1,500 million (subject to availability under a borrowing base). Extensions of credit under the Senior ABL Facility are limited by a borrowing base calculated periodically based on specified percentages of the value of eligible inventory and eligible accounts receivable, subject to certain reserves and other adjustments. A portion of the Senior ABL Facility is available for letters of credit and swingline loans. As of November 1, 2015, HDS had $1,225 million of additional available borrowings under the Senior ABL Facility (after giving effect to the borrowing base limitations and approximately $34 million in letters of credit issued and including $44 million of borrowings available on qualifying cash balances). At HDS’s option, the interest rates applicable to the loans under the Senior ABL Facility are based (i) in the case of U.S. dollar-denominated loans, either at London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin, or Prime Rate plus an applicable margin and (ii) in the case of Canadian dollar-denominated loans, either the BA rate plus an applicable margin, or the Canadian Prime Rate plus an applicable margin. The margins applicable for each elected interest rate are subject to a pricing grid, as defined in the agreement governing the Senior ABL Facility, based on average excess availability for the previous fiscal quarter. The Senior ABL Facility also contains a letter of credit fee computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin (as defined in the agreement) then in effect for LIBOR Loans and an unused commitment fee subject to a pricing grid, as included in the agreement governing the Senior ABL Facility, based on the Average Daily Used Percentage (as defined in the agreement). The Senior ABL Facility also permits HDS to add one or more incremental term loan facilities to be included in the Senior ABL Facility or one or more revolving credit facility commitments to be included in the Senior ABL Facility. The Senior ABL Facility will mature on June 28, 2018 (or the maturity date under HDS’s Term Loan Facility, if earlier). Senior Secured Term Loan Facility HDS’s Senior Term Facility consists of a senior secured Term Loan Facility (the “Term Loan Facility,” the term loans thereunder, the “Term Loans”) providing for Term Loans in an original aggregate principal amount of $850 million. The Term Loan Facility will mature on August 13, 2021 (the “Term Loan Maturity Date”). The Term Loans amortize in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1.00% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan Facility beginning December 2015 with the balance payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date. The Term Loans bear interest at the applicable margin for borrowings of 2.75% for LIBOR borrowings and 1.75% for base rate borrowings, with the LIBOR floor at 1.00%. During the first quarter of fiscal 2015 and in accordance with the annual excess cash flow (“ECF”) provisions of the Term Loan Facility, the Company offered a prepayment of $34 million based on the ECF calculation for fiscal 2014. The lenders in the Term Loan Facility accepted $16 million, which the Company paid on March 30, 2015. In accordance with the Incremental Agreement, the ECF provisions are applicable beginning with the fiscal year ending on or about February 1, 2017 (fiscal 2016) and each fiscal year thereafter. The ECF provision is not applicable to fiscal 2015.
