Senior Notes
On February 10, 2021, in connection with the Merger, the Company assumed Merger Sub’s obligations and entered into the Indenture, dated as of February 10, 2021, by and among the Company and certain of its affiliates and Wilmington Trust, N.A., as trustee, providing for the issuance of $685.0 million of 6.000% senior notes due 2029 (the “Notes”). The Notes are jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by the Company’s existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee the Senior Facilities.
The Notes will mature on February 15, 2029. Interest on the Notes accrues at a rate of 6.000% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The issuer may redeem, in whole or in part, the Notes, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at specified redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the Notes.
The indenture governing the Notes limits the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness or guarantee indebtedness; create liens; declare or pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions to stockholders; make investments; merge, amalgamate or consolidate, or sell, transfer, lease or dispose of substantially all of its assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; or agree to certain restrictions on the ability of restricted subsidiaries to make payments to the Company. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. Certain of these covenants will be suspended for so long as the Notes have investment grade ratings. In addition, in certain circumstances, if the issuer sells assets or experiences certain changes of control, it must offer to purchase the Notes.
Item 1.02. | Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On February 10, 2021, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company terminated its Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (including the Loan Documents, as defined therein), dated as of November 25, 2013, by and among the Company, EIG Investors Corp., a Delaware corporation, as borrower, the lenders party thereto from time to time and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified through the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), and all commitments and obligations thereunder, other than certain continuing indemnity obligations, were repaid, satisfied and discharged in full.
Also in connection with the completion of the Merger, as previously disclosed, on January 29, 2021, EIG Investors Corp. (“EIG”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, caused to be delivered to the holders of EIG’s 10.875% Senior Notes Due 2024 (the “Notes”) a supplemental conditional notice of redemption (the “Supplemental Notice”) relating to the full redemption of all of its issued and outstanding Notes (the “Redemption”), pursuant to the Indenture dated as of February 9, 2016 (the “Indenture”) among EIG, the guarantors named therein and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Supplemental Notice supplemented the conditional notice of redemption delivered to holders of the Notes on December 31, 2020. The Supplemental Notice provided that EIG intended to conditionally redeem the entire outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes on February 10, 2021, subject to and conditioned upon the completion of the Merger. On February 10, 2021, following deposit of the redemption price and other applicable amounts with the Trustee, the obligations of EIG, the Company and the other guarantors under the Indenture and the Notes were paid in full and terminated.
