DFS Annual Report

Notes to the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements (in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise indicated)-(Continued) On September 30, 2016, in connection with the Separation, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto from time to time and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a new senior secured term loan B facility in an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million (the “Term Loan Credit Facility”) and (ii) a new first lien senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the “Revolving Facility,” and, together with the Term Loan Credit Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants, including a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and a maximum Leverage Ratio, as defined in and calculated pursuant to the Credit Agreement, that, in part, restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, engage in mergers and consolidations, make restricted payments and dispose of certain assets. The Credit Agreement generally allows annual dividend payments of up to $15.0 million in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2016, there were no borrowings under the Revolving Facility. Borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Facility were used to provide $340.2 million of cash to RRD, pursuant to the Separation Agreement, as of September 30, 2016. The remainder of the net proceeds was used for general corporate purposes. On September 30, 2016, also in connection with the Separation, the Company issued $300.0 million of 8.25% senior unsecured notes due October 15, 2024 (the “Notes”). Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15, commencing on April 15, 2017. The issuance of the Notes was part of a debt exchange that resulted in the settlement of certain of RRD’s bonds. The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture where certain wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of the Company guarantee the Notes (the “Guarantors”). The Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed, on an unsecured basis, by the Guarantors, which are comprised of each of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s obligations under the Credit Facilities. The Notes are not guaranteed by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries or unrestricted subsidiaries. The Notes and the related guarantees will be the Company and the Guarantors’, respective, senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment to all present and future senior debt, including the obligations under the Company’s Credit Facilities, senior in right of payment to all present and future subordinated debt, and effectively subordinated in right of payment to any of the Company and the Guarantors’ secured debt, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. The indenture governing the Notes contains certain covenants applicable to the Company and its restricted subsidiaries, including limitations on: (1) liens; (2) indebtedness; (3) mergers, consolidations and acquisitions; (4) sales, transfers and other dispositions of assets; (5) loans and other investments; (6) dividends and other distributions, stock repurchases and redemptions and other restricted payments; (7) restrictions affecting subsidiaries; (8) transactions with affiliates; and (9) designations of unrestricted subsidiaries. Each of these covenants is subject to important exceptions and qualifications. In connection with the offering of the Notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, dated as of September 30, 2016 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC with respect to an offer to exchange the Notes for registered notes which will have terms identical in all material respects to the Notes except that the registered notes will not contain terms that provide for restrictions on transfer, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the exchange offer registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC by June 27, 2017. In certain circumstances, the Company may be required to file a shelf registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of the Notes by the holders thereof, in lieu of an exchange offer to such holders. The Company will be required to pay specified additional interest on the Notes if it fails to comply with its registration obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. During the third quarter of 2016, the Company settled an intercompany note payable with RRD. Refer to Note 20, Related Parties for further details. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had $1.4 million in outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees, of which $0.9 million were issued under the Revolving Facility. The letters of credit used under the Revolving Facility did not reduce availability under the Revolving Facility as of December 31, 2016, as the amounts issued were less than the reduction in availability from the Leverage Ratio covenant.
