Note Offering
We are making certain modifications to our previously announced offering of $300 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2024 as follows. Subject to market conditions, we intend to offer $250 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2022 (the “Notes”) in a private placement to eligible purchasers under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (the “Offering”). The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by certain of Teekay’s subsidiaries and initially be secured by first-priority liens on two of Teekay’s floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) units, a pledge of the equity interests of the Teekay subsidiary that owns all of Teekay’s common units of Teekay LNG Partners L.P. and all of Teekay’s Class A common shares of Teekay Tankers Ltd., and a pledge of the equity interests in the Teekay subsidiaries that own three of its FPSO units.
We expect to receive net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes in the Offering of approximately $240.4 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We intend to use the net proceeds from the Offering to partially fund the tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) that was announced on April 24, 2019, to purchase any and all of our outstanding 8.5% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”) and any fees and expenses thereof. We also intend to fund the Tender Offer with the $100 million of proceeds from the Teekay Offshore Sale, with up to $160 million of existing cash and the remainder, if any, with borrowings under Teekay Parent’s equity margin revolving credit facility (which is secured by common units of Teekay LNG and shares of Class A common stock of Teekay Tankers that are owned by Teekay Parent) (the “Margin Loan Agreement”). The Offering is conditioned upon the receipt of consents of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2020 Notes and the effectiveness of certain proposed amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) to the indenture governing the 2020 Notes (which will eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default and related provisions). The Tender Offer is conditioned on, among other things, (i) the successful completion of the Offering, on terms satisfactory to us, and that net proceeds to us from the Offering, available existing cash and borrowings under the Margin Loan Agreement are sufficient to fund the maximum aggregate payments for 2020 Notes tendered in the Tender Offer (assuming the tender of all outstanding 2020 Notes prior to the Early Tender and Consent Date (as defined below)) and related expenses and (ii) the tender of greater than $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2020 Notes prior to the Early Tender and Consent Date. We may waive the conditions to the Tender Offer in our sole discretion. To the extent the net proceeds of the Offering exceed the amount needed, in addition to other sources of capital described above, to fund the Tender Offer, we may use the remaining net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of indebtedness.
As of April 1, 2019, the aggregate principal amount of our 2020 Notes outstanding was approximately $497.7 million.
The indenture that will govern the Notes will contain covenants that, among other things, include restrictions on our and the guarantors’ ability to:
| • | | incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness; |
| • | | pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem our equity interests; |
| • | | prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt; |
| • | | issue certain preferred stock or similar equity securities; |
| • | | incur liens, including the granting of any lien on any of the Note collateral, or further pledging any of the Note collateral as security, subject to permitted liens; |
| • | | enter into transactions with affiliates; and |
| • | | consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets. |
The indenture that will govern the Notes will also provide that under specific circumstances we may be required to use all or a portion of the net proceeds from sales of our FPSO units, sales of Class B common stock of Teekay Tankers, or sales of any equity interests in Teekay Finance Limited, in each case consummated prior to a specified non-call date, to purchase Notes at a price equal to (i) in the case of a sale of any equity interests of Teekay Finance Limited, 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date and (ii) in the case of the sale of an FPSO unit or sales of our Class B common stock of Teekay Tankers, (a) 103% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the repurchase date, with respect to the portion of the proceeds used to redeem the amount of Notes accepted by the Note holders in excess of $150.0 million and (b) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the repurchase date, with respect to the amount of the proceeds in excess of the portion of the proceeds specified in clause (a). To the extent any such sale generates proceeds which are required to be applied pursuant to both clause (ii)(a) and clause (ii)(b) of the preceding sentence, the Company will make a separate offer with respect to each of clause (ii)(a) and clause (ii)(b). The indenture will further provide that, we may be required under certain circumstances to offer to use all or a portion of the net proceeds of certain asset sales (other than a sale of an FPSO unit, shares of Class B common stock of Teekay Tankers or any equity interests of Teekay Finance Limited prior to a specified non-call date) to purchase the Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, to the repurchase date. In addition, the indenture will require us to comply with certain financial covenants.
