Concurrently with the issuance of the 2029 Secured Notes, the Company entered into certain amendments to the 2018 Credit Facility. The amendments to the 2018 Credit Facility, which, among other things, refinanced and replaced in full the 2018 Credit Facility with, (i) a Term Loan B Facility, or 2024 Term Loan B, with an aggregate principal amount of $400 million and (ii) a revolving credit facility, or 2024 Revolving Credit Facility, with an aggregate principal amount of $400 million. The 2024 Term Loan B Facility was issued to the lenders at a 7.00% discount, or $28.0 million, and the Company estimates its debt issuance cost in connection with the amended 2024 Credit Facility to be approximately $8.1 million. The Company may redeem the 2024 Term Loan B at a 102% premium at any time before the first anniversary, 101% premium following the first anniversary and on or prior to the second anniversary, and, solely in connection with a repricing event, at a 101% premium after the second anniversary but on or prior to the third anniversary, and generally at no premium thereafter. The 2024 Term Loan B requires quarterly payments equal to 5.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Term Loan B per annum, commencing in September 2024. The Company expects to recognize an initial carrying value of approximately $363.9 million in debt related to its new 2024 Credit Facility during the second quarter of 2024.

Proceeds from the 2024 Term Loan B together with the proceeds from the 2029 Secured Notes were used to repay indebtedness, including all borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Credit Facility, effectively terminating its $228.9 million outstanding principal balance on its 2018 Term Loan A (as disclosed in Note 4, Long Term debt), and repaying $584.3 million on the 2018 Term Loan B, $170.0 million on the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, and a portion of its 2025 Notes described further below. For accounting purposes, pursuant to ASC 470, Debt, these transactions are expected to be accounted for as an extinguishment of the 2018 Credit Facility. As a result, the Company expects to recognize $981.0 million as a reduction to long-term debt representing the carrying value of the 2018 Credit Facility repaid in full in the second quarter of 2024. The Company also expects to recognize a loss on extinguishment of approximately $2.5 million, as a result, which will be recorded in other expense, net within the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income during the second quarter of 2024.

In addition, in April 2024, the Company also redeemed $300.0 million of the 2025 Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $309.1 million, which included $3.2 million of accrued interest. For accounting purposes, pursuant to ASC 470, Debt, this transaction is expected to be accounted for as an extinguishment of the portion of the 2025 Notes redeemed. As a result, the Company expects to recognize $298.8 million as a reduction to long-term debt representing the carrying value of the redeemed 2025 Notes. The $7.1 million difference between the cash paid and carrying value of the redeemed 2025 Notes will be recognized as a loss on the extinguishment of debt and will be recorded in other expense, net within the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income during the second quarter of 2024. Separately, in April 2024, the Company also repurchased $37.7 million of the 2025 Notes in a private transaction for an aggregate purchase price of $38.9 million, which included $0.5 million of accrued interest and, for accounting purposes, pursuant to ASC 470, Debt, this repurchase transaction is expected to be accounted for as an extinguishment of the portion of the 2025 Notes repurchased. As a result, the Company expects to recognize $37.5 million as a reduction to long-term debt representing the carrying value of the repurchased 2025 Notes. The $0.9 million difference between the cash paid and carrying value of the repurchased 2025 Notes will be recognized as a loss on the extinguishment of debt and will be recorded in other expense, net within the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income during the second quarter of 2024. The Company borrowed approximately $170 million under its 2024 Revolving Credit Facility in connection with these transactions, and following the completion thereof, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes was $262.3 million.

The base rate represents the highest of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, one-month Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.00%, and the prime rate quoted by The Wall Street Journal and continues to be subject to a floor of 1.00%.
