Debt | Debt In March of 2024, the Company refinanced its debt by issuing the 2030 Notes and used the proceeds to pay off the outstanding balance of the term loan and revolving line of credit under our previous credit agreement. We also entered into an amended and restated credit facility as described below. Notes Payable 2030 Convertible Senior Notes On March 1, 2024, the Company issued, in a private placement, convertible senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of $450 million, due March 1, 2030, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. The proceeds from the 2030 Notes were used in part to enter into the 2024 Capped Call Transactions, described below, for working capital, and for other general corporate purposes, including paying off the existing term loan and revolving line of credit. There are no required principal payments prior to the maturity of the 2030 Notes. The 2030 Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 3.5%, payable semi-annually in arrears on September 1 and March 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2024. The Company incurred approximately $12.0 million in issuance costs for the issuance of the 2030 Notes. Conversion Rights Before November 1, 2029, Noteholders may convert their 2030 Notes in the following circumstances: • During any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on May 31, 2024, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least twenty trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the thirty consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter; or • During the five consecutive business days immediately after any ten consecutive trading day period (the "Measurement Period"), if the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2030 Notes for each trading day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of Company’s common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day; or • Upon the occurrence of distributions on the Company’s common stock, which distribution per share of common stock has a value exceeding 10% of the last reported sale price per share on the trading day immediately before the date such distribution is announced; or • Upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or if the Company calls such 2030 Notes for redemption, then the Noteholder of any Note may convert such Note. From and after November 1, 2029, Noteholders may convert their 2030 Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. The Company will satisfy its conversion obligations by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of 2030 Notes to be converted, by issuing shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at its election. The initial conversion rate is 14.7622 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2030 Notes, representing an initial conversion price of approximately $67.74 per share of common stock. The conversion rate will be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events, including spin-offs, tender offers, exchange offers, make-whole fundamental change and certain stockholder distributions. Repurchase Rights On or after March 5, 2027, and on or before the 60th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, the Company may redeem for cash all or part of the 2030 Notes, subject to partial redemption limitation, at a repurchase price equal to the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeded 130% of the conversion price on (1) each of at least twenty trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any thirty consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides a redemption notice and (2) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. Pursuant to the partial redemption limitation, the Company may not elect to redeem less than all of the outstanding 2030 Notes unless at least $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2030 Notes are outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the time it sends the related redemption notice. If certain corporate events that constitute a fundamental change (e.g., events such as business combination transactions involving the Company, shareholder approval of liquidation or dissolution of the Company, and certain de-listing events with respect to the Company’s common stock) occur at any time, holders may, subject to certain exceptions, require the Company to purchase their 2030 Notes in whole or in part for cash at a price equal to the principal amount of the 2030 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. 2024 Capped Call Transactions On February 27, 2024, in connection with the pricing of the 2030 Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions ("2024 Capped Call Transactions"). The 2024 Capped Call Transactions cover approximately 6.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock, which represent the number of shares of common stock initially underlying the 2030 Notes. The 2024 Capped Call Transactions are generally expected to reduce potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of the 2030 Notes and/or offset any potential cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The cap price of the 2024 Capped Call Transactions was initially $92.98 per share of common stock, which represents a premium of 75% over the last reported sale price of the common stock of $53.13 per share on February 27, 2024, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the 2024 Capped Call Transactions. The cost of the purchased capped calls of $42.2 million was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital upon settlement in March 2024. Accounting for the 2030 Notes The 2030 Notes are classified as a non-current liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and the conversion option does not require bifurcation as an embedded derivative. Issuance costs of $12.0 million were recorded as a reduction to the principal balance of the 2030 Notes and will be amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the contractual term. Fiscal Year Ended (in thousands) November 30, 2024 Contractual interest expense (3.5% coupon) $ 11,813 Amortization of debt discount and issuance costs (1) 1,351 $ 13,164 (1) Amortization based upon an effective interest rate of 4.0%. 2026 Convertible Senior Notes In April 2021, the Company issued, in a private placement, convertible senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of $360 million, due April 15, 2026, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. There are no required principal payments prior to the maturity of the 2026 Notes. The 2026 Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 1%, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The Company incurred approximately $10.8 million in issuance costs for the issuance of the 2026 Notes. Conversion Rights Before January 15, 2026, Noteholders may convert their 2026 Notes in the following circumstances: • During any fiscal quarter (and only during such fiscal quarter) commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on May 31, 2021, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least twenty trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the thirty consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter; • During the five consecutive business days immediately after any ten consecutive trading day period (the "Measurement Period"), if the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes for each trading day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of Company’s common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day; or • Upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on the Company’s common stock, or if the Company calls such 2026 Notes for redemption, then the Noteholder of any Note may convert such Note at any time before the close of business on the business day immediately before the related redemption date. From and after January 15, 2026, Noteholders may convert their 2026 Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. The Company will satisfy its conversion obligations by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes to be converted, by issuing shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at its election. The initial conversion rate is 17.4525 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Notes, representing an initial conversion price of approximately $57.30 per share of common stock. The conversion rate will be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events, including spin-offs, tender offers, exchange offers, make-whole fundamental change and certain stockholder distributions. Repurchase Rights On or after April 20, 2024, and on or before the 50th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, the Company may redeem for cash all or part of the 2026 Notes, subject to the partial redemption limitation, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeded 130% of the conversion price on (1) each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides a redemption notice and (2) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. Pursuant to the partial redemption limitation, the Company may not elect to redeem less than all of the outstanding 2026 Notes unless at least $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes are outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the time it sends the related redemption notice. 2021 Capped Call Transactions On April 8, 2021, in connection with the pricing of the 2026 Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions ("2021 Capped Call Transactions") with one or more of the initial purchasers and/or their respective affiliates and/or other financial institutions. The 2021 Capped Call Transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2026 Notes, approximately 6.3 million shares (representing the number of shares of common stock initially underlying the 2026 Notes) of the Company’s common stock. The 2021 Capped Call Transactions are generally expected to reduce potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of the 2026 Notes and/or offset any potential cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 2026 Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The cap price of the 2021 Capped Call Transactions will initially be $89.88 per share of common stock, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of the common stock of $44.94 per share on April 8, 2021, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the 2021 Capped Call Transactions. The cost of the purchased capped calls of $43.1 million was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital upon settlement in April 2021. We elected to integrate the 2021 capped call options with the applicable 2026 Notes for federal income tax purposes pursuant to applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations. Accordingly, the $43.1 million gross cost of the purchased 2021 capped calls will be deductible for income tax purposes as original discount interest over the term of the 2026 Notes. Accounting for the 2026 Notes The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective approach on December 1, 2021. Under ASU 2020-06, we no longer separate the Notes into liability and equity components. We recognized the cumulative effect of applying this new standard as of December 1, 2021. In accounting for the transaction, prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the 2026 Notes were separated into liability and equity components. The initial carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar debt instrument that does not have an associated conversion feature. The amount initially recognized for the equity component totaled $64.8 million. The excess of the 2026 Notes’ principal amount over the initial carrying amount of the liability component, referred to as the debt discount, was amortized as interest expense over the 2026 Notes’ contractual term. The equity component, which represented the difference between the gross proceeds and the initial liability component, was recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital and was not remeasured. Upon adoption of ASU 2020-06 on December 1, 2021, using the modified retrospective method, the Company reversed the separation of the debt and equity components and accounted for the 2026 Notes wholly as debt. The Company also reversed the amortization of the debt discount that was due to the equity component, with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings on the adoption date. Further, the Company reversed the allocation of the issuance costs to the equity component and accounted for the entire amount as debt issuance cost that will be amortized as interest expense over the remaining term at an effective interest rate of 1.63% with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings on the adoption date. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying this new standard as of December 1, 2021 as an adjustment to the December 1, 2021 opening balance of retained earnings. The conversion option that was previously accounted for in equity under the cash conversion model was recombined into the convertible debt outstanding, and as a result, additional paid in capital and the related unamortized debt discount on the 2026 convertible senior notes were reduced. The removal of the remaining debt discount recorded for this previous separation has the effect of increasing our net debt balance. We recorded a $47.5 million decrease to additional paid-in capital, a $56.0 million decrease to debt discount, a $4.9 million increase to retained earnings, and a $13.4 million decrease to long-term deferred tax liabilities. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06, non-cash interest expense decreased by approximately $11.5 million in 2022 and 2023 as well as in future periods due to the de-recognition of the debt discount associated with the previously bifurcated equity components of the 2026 Notes. Further, the standard requires the use of the if converted method to calculate diluted earnings per share. Fiscal Year Ended (in thousands) November 30, 2024 November 30, 2023 November 30, 2022 Contractual interest expense (1% coupon) $ 3,610 $ 3,600 $ 3,600 Amortization of debt discount and issuance costs (1) 2,174 2,147 2,112 $ 5,784 $ 5,747 $ 5,712 (1) After the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the effective interest rate for the 2026 Notes was 1.63%. Prior to adoption of ASU 2020-06, the effective interest rate for the 2026 Notes was 5.71%. Credit Facility On March 7, 2024, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement with certain lenders, which provides a $900.0 million secured revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility may be made available in U.S. Dollars and certain other currencies and may be increased, and new term loan commitments may be entered into, by up to an additional $260.0 million if the existing or additional lenders are willing to make such increased commitments. The revolving credit facility has sublimits for swing line loans up to $25.0 million and for the issuance of standby letters of credit in a face amount up to $25.0 million. Interest rates for the revolving credit facility are determined by reference to a Term Benchmark Rate or a base rate at our option and would range from 1.50% to 3.00% above the Term Benchmark Rate for Term Benchmark-based borrowings or from 0.50% to 2.00% above the defined base rate for base rate borrowings, in each case based upon our consolidated total net leverage ratio. Additionally, we may borrow certain foreign currencies at rates set in the same range above the respective Term Benchmark Rates for those currencies, based on our consolidated total net leverage ratio. A quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility is required, ranging from 0.150% to 0.400% per annum, based upon our consolidated total net leverage ratio. The average interest rate of the revolving credit facility during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2024 was 6.80%, and the interest rate as of November 30, 2024 was 6.67%. The credit facility matures on March 7, 2029. The revolving credit facility does not require amortization of principal. Revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until the maturity date, at which time all amounts outstanding must be repaid. Accrued interest on the loans is payable quarterly in arrears. During October 2024, we partially funded our acquisition of ShareFile by drawing down $730.0 million under the revolving line of credit. As of November 30, 2024, there was $730.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $2.6 million of letters of credit. Costs incurred to obtain our long-term debt of $6.0 million, along with $1.0 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the previous credit agreement, were recorded as debt issuance costs and will be amortized over the term of the debt agreement using the effective interest method. Unamortized debt issuance costs related to the repaid term loan were expensed. We are the sole borrower under the credit facility and our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of our material domestic subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of our assets and each of our material domestic subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict our ability to, among other things, grant liens, make investments, make acquisitions, incur indebtedness, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, pay dividends or make distributions, repurchase stock, change the nature of the business, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and enter into burdensome agreements, in each case subject to customary exceptions for a credit facility of this size and type. We are also required to maintain compliance with a consolidated interest charge coverage ratio, a consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio and a consolidated total net leverage ratio. |
