At our option, we may increase commitments under the revolving line of credit or the term loan facility by an aggregate amount of up to $500 million , subject to customary conditions. Interest on borrowings under the credit agreement can be based on a base rate or a LIBOR at our election. Based on our debt ratings and our consolidated leverage ratios as determined in accordance with the credit agreement, loans borrowed bear interest, in the case of base rate loans, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.125% to 0.75% , and in the case of LIBOR loans, LIBOR, as adjusted for statutory reserves, plus a margin ranging from 1.125% to 1.75% . The unused revolving line of credit is subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.30% per annum. The principal amount of the term loan is repayable in quarterly installments on the last business day of each calendar quarter commencing with the quarter ended March 31, 2021 in an amount equal to 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the term loan and in the outstanding principal amount upon the November 2024 maturity date. We may voluntarily repay outstanding principal balances without penalty. The credit agreement contains customary representations and warranties, non-financial covenants for financial reporting, affirmative and negative covenants, including a covenant that we maintain a consolidated leverage ratio of not more than 5.25 to 1.0 , or 5.75 to 1.0 if we acquire assets or business in an aggregate amount greater than $250 million , and restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, stock repurchases, and dividends (with exceptions permitting our regular quarterly dividend and other specific capital returns). As of January 3, 2020 , we were in compliance with all debt covenants. In connection with the credit agreement, on November 4, 2019, we fully prepaid the principal amount of $500 million of our Senior Term Loan A-5 and terminated our existing revolving line of credit. This transaction was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt and resulted in accelerated recognition of interest expense for unamortized debt issuance costs, which was not significant. Out of the repayments, $198 million was replaced by borrowings under the term loan of $500 million issued on November 4, 2019 to the same creditors. As of January 3, 2020 and March 29, 2019 , there were no borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facilities. Amendments to Convertible Senior Notes On March 4, 2016, we issued $500 million of convertible notes with maturity on April 1, 2021 and bear interest at an annual rate of 2.5% ( 2.5% Convertible Notes). On August 1, 2016, we issued an additional $1.25 billion of convertible notes with maturity on August 15, 2021 and bear interest at an annual rate of 2.0% ( 2.0% Convertible Notes). Both the 2.5% Convertible Notes and the 2.0% Convertible Notes (collectively, Convertible Senior Notes) have coupon interest payable semiannually in arrears in cash. Interest payments on the Convertible Senior Notes are due on October 1 and April 1 of each year in the case of the 2.5% Convertible Notes, and February 15 and August 15 in the case of the 2.0% Convertible Notes. The fair value of the equity component of our Convertible Senior Notes of $41 million , net of tax, was recorded in additional paid-in capital and is being amortized as interest expense. Additionally, as of March 29, 2019, the principal amount and associated unamortized discount and issuance costs of the 2.5% Convertible Notes were classified as current because upon the 4 -year anniversary of the issuance of the notes, holders of thereof had the option to require us to repurchase the notes, in cash, equal to the principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of the 2.5% Convertible Notes. Holders of the Convertible Senior Notes could convert the notes into our common stock at any time up to the maturity date of each note. The conversion rate for all the 2.0% Convertible Notes was 48.9860 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, which represented an initial conversion price of approximately $20.41 per share. The conversion rate for the 2.5% Convertible Notes was 59.6341 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, which represented an initial conversion price of approximately $16.77 per share. If holders of the Convertible Senior Notes convert them in connection with a fundamental change, we may be required to provide a make-whole premium in the form of an increased conversion rate, subject to a maximum amount, based on the effective date of the fundamental change as set forth in a table contained in the indenture governing each of the Convertible Senior Notes. A fundamental change, as defined, includes a sale of substantially all our assets, a change of the control of NortonLifeLock, or a plan for our liquidation or dissolution. The conversion rates under the Convertible Senior Notes are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. If the holders request a conversion, we have the option to settle the par amount of the Convertible Senior Notes using cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares with the cash settlement not exceeding the principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of the Convertible Senior Notes. Additionally, we could redeem all or part of the principal of the 2.5% Convertible Notes, at our option, at a purchase price equal to the principal amount plus accrued interest on or after the 4-year anniversary of the issuance date of the 2.5% Convertible Notes, if the closing trading price of our common stock exceeds 150% of the then-current conversion price for 20 or more trading days in the 30 consecutive trading-day period preceding our exercise of the redemption right (including the last three such trading days) and provided that we have satisfied all regulatory common stock registration requirements. The 2.0% Convertible Notes are not redeemable at our option. As long as the holders of the Convertible Senior Notes each own at least 4% of our common stock on an as-converted basis, they are entitled to nominate one director to our Board of Directors. As of January 3, 2020 , the holders’ percentage interest in our common stock exceeded this threshold. On November 11, 2019, we amended the Convertible Senior Notes agreements to provide that, if and when we pay a special dividend of $12 to our stockholders, we would exchange $250 million of the principal amount underlying the 2.5% Convertible Notes for new notes to be issued pursuant to a new indenture (the “New 2.5% Convertible Notes”) and make a payment of $12 for each share underlying the New 2.5% Convertible Notes, and exchange $625 million of the principal amount underlying the 2.0% Convertible Notes for new notes to be issued pursuant to a new indenture (the “New 2.0% Convertible Notes”) and make a payment of $12 for each share underlying the New 2.0% Convertible Notes, in each case in lieu of a conversion price adjustment (the Cash Note Payment). The remaining principal of the Convertible Senior Notes would receive a conversion price adjustment with respect to such special dividend. The special dividend was payable to stockholders on January 31, 2020 and on February 4, 2020, we issued the New 2.5% Convertible Notes and the New 2.0% Convertible Notes pursuant to two new indentures, and then made the Cash Note Payment. The Cash Note Payments consisted of $179 million with respect to holders of the New 2.5% Convertible Senior Notes and $367 million with respect to holders of the New 2.0% Convertible Senior Notes. After giving effect to the conversion rate adjustment that was made in connection with the payment of the special dividend on January 31, 2020, the conversion rate for the remaining $250 million of the 2.5% Convertible Notes is 118.9814 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, which represents an adjusted conversion price of approximately $8.40 per share and the conversion rate for the remaining $625 million of the 2.0% Convertible Notes is 97.7364 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, which represents an adjusted conversion price of approximately $10.23 per share. In addition, in connection with the amendments, we extended the maturity dates of all of the 2.5% Convertible Notes, including the New 2.5% Convertible, Notes to April 1, 2022 and all of the 2.0% Convertible Notes, including the New 2.0% Convertible Notes, to August 15, 2022. Further, holders of the Convertible Senior Notes will only be able to convert the notes in a period of six months prior to the extended maturity dates. For the 2.5% Convertible Notes, we no longer have the redemption right, nor do the holders of the 2.5% Convertible Notes have the right to require us to repurchase the notes. Based on the closing price of our common stock of $25.83 on January 3, 2020 , the if-converted value of our 2.5% Convertible Notes exceeded the principal amount by approximately $270 million and the if-converted value of our 2.0% Convertible Notes exceeded the principal amount by approximately $332 million . During the three and nine months ended January 3, 2020 , we made payments totaling $5 million to holders of the Convertible Notes in lieu of conversion price adjustments because our dividend of $0.125 per share to our common stockholders that was paid in December 2019 exceeded the amounts defined in the Convertible Senior Notes agreements. These payments were recorded as interest expense during the three and nine months ended January 3, 2020 . The following table sets forth total interest expense recognized related to our 2.5% and 2.0% Convertible Senior Notes: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (In millions) January 3, 2020 December 28, 2018 January 3, 2020 December 28, 2018 Contractual interest expense $ 9 $ 9 $ 28 $ 28 Amortization of debt discount and issuance costs $ 3 $ 4 $ 11 $ 12 Payments in lieu of conversion price adjustments $ 5 $ — $ 5 $ — |
