14. SENIOR NOTES
 
 
In October 2007, the company issued an aggregate principal amount of $600 million in senior notes. The senior notes were issued at 99.60% of their principal amount. The notes will mature on November 1, 2017, and bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.50% per annum. The interest is payable semi-annually on May 1st and November 1st of each year and payments commenced on May 1, 2008. The senior notes are unsecured and rank equally in right of payment with all of Agilent’s other senior unsecured indebtedness. The company incurred issuance costs of $5 million in connection with the senior notes. These costs were capitalized in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and the costs are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the senior notes.
 
On November 25, 2008, we terminated the two remaining interest rate swap contracts associated with our senior notes that represented the notional amount of $400 million. The asset value upon termination was approximately $43 million. The proceeds were recorded as operating cash flows and the gain is being deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the senior notes.

Old Alpha Credit Agreement

On July 31, 2009, in conjunction with the Merger (see Note 18), Old Alpha terminated its existing senior secured credit facilities, which consisted of a $250,000 term loan facility, of which $233,125 was outstanding at July 31, 2009 (and due in 2012), and a $375,000 revolving credit facility. On July 31, 2009, the Company repaid the outstanding balance under the term loan and recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt to write off the remaining balance of deferred loan costs in the amount of $5,641.

New Alpha Credit Facility

Prior to the Merger, Foundation had a credit facility (the “Foundation Credit Facility”) consisting of $500,000 secured revolving credit line and a $335,000 secured term loan. Repayment of outstanding indebtedness owed under the Foundation Credit Facility includes quarterly amortization of the term loan, which began in the third quarter of 2007, with both the term loan and revolving credit line maturing July 7, 2011.

In connection with the Merger, the Foundation Credit Facility was amended to add the Company and substantially all of the subsidiaries of Old Alpha (the “New Subsidiaries”) as guarantors under the Foundation Credit Facility (the “New Alpha Credit Facility”).  This amendment also provides for an increase in the interest rate to 3.25 percentage points over the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) from 1.25 percentage points over LIBOR, subject, in the case of revolving loans, to adjustment based on leverage ratios.  Following the Merger and upon the amendment becoming effective, limitations on annual capital expenditure amounts were eliminated and the amount of incremental credit facilities that may be incurred under the New Alpha Credit Facility were increased from $100,000 to $200,000, of which $150,000 was utilized to increase the revolving credit line to $650,000.  As of September 30, 2009, the Company’s term loan due 2011 under the New Alpha Credit Facility had an outstanding balance of $293,125, with $33,500 classified as current portion of long-term debt.

2.375% Convertible Senior Notes Due June 2015

Old Alpha issued its 2.375% convertible senior notes due 2015 (the “Convertible Notes”) with an aggregate principal amount of $287,500 under an indenture dated as of April 7, 2008, as supplemented (the “Convertible Notes Indenture”).  Following completion of the Merger, the Company assumed Old Alpha’s obligations in respect of the Convertible Notes by executing a supplemental indenture, dated as of July 31, 2009, among Old Alpha, as issuer, the Company, as successor issuer, and Union Bank of California (“UBOC”), as trustee.  As of September 30, 2009, the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes was $287,500.

The Convertible Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The Convertible Notes are effectively subordinated to all of the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness and all existing and future liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries, including trade payables.  The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.375% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, which began on October 15, 2008 and will mature on April 15, 2015, unless previously repurchased by the Company or converted.  The Convertible Notes are convertible in certain circumstances and in specified periods at an initial conversion rate of 18.2962 shares of common stock per one thousand principal amount of Convertible Notes, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the Indenture. Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, holders will receive cash up to the principal amount of the notes to be converted, and any excess conversion value will be delivered in cash, shares of common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company's election.

The Convertible Notes Indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including that upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, either UBOC or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes then outstanding may declare the principal of Convertible Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon immediately due and payable. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization relating to the Company, the principal amount of the Convertible Notes together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon will automatically become and be immediately due and payable.

As a result of the Merger, the Convertible Notes became convertible at the option of the holders beginning on June 18, 2009, and remained convertible through the 30th day after the effective date of the Merger, which was July 31, 2009.  There were no notes converted during the conversion period. The Convertible Notes were not convertible as of September 30, 2009 and therefore have been classified as long-term debt.

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and other Options (“ASC 470-20”).  ASC 470-20 applies to all convertible debt instruments that have a “net settlement feature,” which means that such convertible debt instruments, by their terms, may be settled either wholly or partially in cash upon conversion, and requires issuers of convertible debt instruments to separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner reflective of the issuers’ nonconvertible debt borrowing rate.  ASC 470-20 was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Upon adoption of ASC 470-20, the Company retrospectively applied the change in accounting principle to prior accounting periods.  Adoption of the standard resulted in the following balance sheet impacts at December 31, 2008: (1) a reduction of debt by $87,830 and an increase in paid in capital of $69,851, (2) an increase to deferred loan costs of $5,309, (3) a net reduction to deferred tax assets of $23,124 ($36,262 reduction in deferred tax assets, offset by a $13,138 change in the valuation allowance), and (4) a net increase in retained earnings of $164.  In addition, the adoption of the standard resulted in the following non-cash income statement impacts: (1) an increase in interest expense of $2,728 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and a reduction in interest expense of $3,369 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, which is comprised of the reestablishment of the deferred loan costs of $8,903 in the second quarter of 2008 that were previously written off, offset by amortization of the deferred loan costs of $212 and $424 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, and the accretion of the convertible debt discount of $2,516 and $5,110 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, (2) an increase in income tax expense of $296 and $13,006 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, and (3) a decrease in net income of $2,432 and $9,637 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, the adoption of ASC 470-20 increased non-cash interest expense by $2,954 and $8,690, respectively, related to the accretion of the convertible debt discount and the amortization of the deferred loan costs.  The deferred loan costs and discount are being amortized and accreted, respectively, over the seven-year term of the Convertible Notes, which are due in 2015, and provide for an effective interest rate of 8.64%.  As of September 30, 2009, the carrying amounts of the debt and the equity components were $207,722 and $95,511, respectively, and the unamortized discount of the debt was $79,778.  For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, the Company incurred expense of $1,707 and $5,121, respectively, on the contractual interest coupon.

7.25% Senior Notes Due August 1, 2014

Prior to the Merger, on July 31, 2004, a subsidiary of Foundation, Foundation PA Coal Company, LLC (“Foundation PA”) issued $300,000 aggregate principal amount of notes that mature on August 1, 2014 (the “2014 Notes”).  The 2014 Notes were guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Foundation Coal Corporation (“FCC”), an indirect parent of Foundation PA, and certain of its subsidiaries.  As a result of the Merger, Foundation PA and FCC became subsidiaries of New Alpha.

On July 31, 2009, in connection with the Merger, the Company assumed the obligations of FCC in respect of the 2014 Notes and, along with the New Subsidiaries, became obligated as guarantors on the indenture governing the 2014 Notes.  On August 1, 2009, in connection with the Merger, FCC merged with and into the Company.  As of September 30, 2009, the outstanding balance of the 2014 Notes was $289,206, which is net of the debt discount of $9,079.

Accounts Receivable Securitization

On March 25, 2009, the Company and certain subsidiaries became a party to an $85,000 accounts receivable securitization facility with a third party financial institution (the “A/R Facility”) by forming ANR Receivables Funding, LLC (the “SPE”), a special-purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, wholly-owned indirectly by the Company. The sole purpose of the SPE is to purchase trade receivables generated by certain of the Company’s operating subsidiaries, without recourse (other than customary indemnification obligations for breaches of specific representations and warranties), and then transfer senior undivided interests in up to $85,000 of those accounts receivable to a financial institution for the issuance of letters of credit or for cash borrowings for the ultimate benefit of the Company.

The SPE is consolidated into the Company’s financial statements, and therefore has no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The assets of the SPE, however, are not available to the creditors of the Company or any other subsidiary. The SPE pays facility fees, program fees and letter of credit fees (based on amounts of outstanding letters of credit), as defined in the definitive agreements for the A/R Facility.  Available borrowing capacity is based on the amount of eligible accounts receivable as defined under the terms of the definitive agreements for the A/R Facility and varies over time. The receivables purchase agreement supporting the borrowings under the A/R Facility is subject to renewal annually and, unless terminated earlier, expires March 24, 2010.

As of September 30, 2009, letters of credit in the amount $80,100 were outstanding under the A/R Facility and no cash borrowing transactions had taken place.  As outstanding letters of credit exceeded borrowing capacity as of September 30, 2009, the Company was required to provide additional collateral in the form of $14,174 of restricted cash, which is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, to secure outstanding letters of credit. Under the A/R Facility, the SPE is subject to certain affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type, including restrictions related to, among other things, liens, payments, merger or consolidation and amendments to the agreements underlying the receivables pool. Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. has agreed to guarantee the performance by its subsidiaries, other than the SPE, of their obligations under the A/R Facility. The Company does not guarantee repayment of the SPE’s debt under the A/R Facility. The financial institution, which is the administrator, may terminate the A/R Facility upon the occurrence of certain events that are customary for facilities of this type (with customary grace periods, if applicable), including, among other things, breaches of covenants, inaccuracies of representations and warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency events, changes in the rate of default or delinquency of the receivables above specified levels, a change of control and material judgments. A termination event would permit the administrator to terminate the program and enforce any and all rights and remedies, subject to cure provisions, where applicable.

Note 3 — Long-Term Debt

In February 2008, our Board of Directors authorized a debt repurchase program, pursuant to which in Q1 2009 we redeemed the remaining €240 million ($319 million based on the Euro to U.S. Dollar exchange rate on the date of redemption) in principal of our 6.875% Premium Adjustable Convertible Securities (“PEACS”).

Note 13—Long-Term Debt

 

The Company has a five-year $1,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) that is scheduled to expire in August 2011, of which approximately $780,000 was drawn as of September 30, 2009.  As of September 30, 2009, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $220,000. The Company’s interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is LIBOR plus 40 basis points. The Company also pays certain annual agency and facility fees.  The Revolving Credit Facility requires that the Company satisfy certain financial covenants. As of September 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility, and the Company’s credit rating from Standard & Poor’s was BBB- and from Moody’s was Baa3. In March 2009, the Company entered into a $20,000 letter of credit facility, of which approximately $14,900 was outstanding as of September 30, 2009.

 

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had interest rate swap agreements of $150,000, $250,000 and $250,000 that fix the Company’s LIBOR interest rate at 4.40%, 4.65% and 4.73%, respectively, expiring in December 2009, December 2009 and July 2010, respectively.  The fair value of swaps indicated that termination of the agreements as of September 30, 2009 would have resulted in a pre-tax loss of $11,811; such loss, net of tax of $4,370 is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

The Company estimates that the book value of its long-term debt approximates fair value.

7. Long-Term Debt and Financing Arrangements

The Company’s credit facilities include a secured revolving credit facility of $357.5 million, an unsecured German revolving credit facility of €65.0 million, each of which mature on May 4, 2012, and a term loan facility of $400.0 million plus €75.0 million with a maturity date of May 4, 2014. The entire secured revolving credit facility may be used for letters of credit. At September 30, 2009 the Company had no borrowings under its secured or unsecured revolving credit facilities. At December 31, 2008, the Company classified the entire secured revolving credit facility balance of $55.2 million as current maturities of long-term debt and short-term obligations because it intended to repay the outstanding balance within 12 months.

 

At September 30, 2009, the amount potentially available for borrowing under the secured revolving credit facility was $285.3 million, after taking into account $72.2 million of issued letters of credit. The amount potentially available for borrowing under the unsecured German credit facility at September 30, 2009 was $54.3 million (€37.1 million), after taking into account $40.9 million (€27.9 million) of issued letters of credit. At September 30, 2009, the Company had borrowings of $499.5 million ($392.0 million plus €73.5 million) under its term loan facility. To manage a portion of its exposure to changes in LIBOR-based interest rates, the Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements that effectively fix the interest payments on $477.4 million ($375.0 million plus €70.0 million) of outstanding borrowings under its term loan facility at a weighted average interest rate of 3.4%, plus the applicable spread. The remaining $22.1 million of outstanding term loan borrowings at September 30, 2009 were at a weighted average interest rate of 1.9%, plus the applicable spread.

In April 2009, the Company entered into a new revolving credit facility and terminated its prior credit facility. The credit facility provides for an available credit line of $500 million and contains an accordion feature allowing the Company to increase the available credit line to $600 million, if any one or more of the existing banks or new banks agree to provide such increased commitment amount. The term of the facility expires in April 2012.
In conjunction with entering into the new credit facility, the Company incurred $10.4 million of debt issuance costs which were capitalized and will be amortized over the term of the credit facility. Additionally, $1.5 million in unamortized costs associated with the prior credit facility will be amortized over the term of the new credit facility in accordance with ASC 470-50, “Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments.”
The credit facility is unsecured. The available credit line is subject to adjustment from time to time on the basis of (1) the projected present value (as determined by the banks based on the Company’s reserve reports and engineering reports) of estimated future net cash flows from certain proved oil and gas reserves and certain other assets of the Company (the “Borrowing Base”) and (2) the outstanding principal balance of the Company’s senior notes. Under the credit facility, the Borrowing Base is initially set at $1.35 billion, to be periodically redetermined as described above. While the Company does not expect a reduction in the available credit line, in the event that it is adjusted below the outstanding level of borrowings in connection with scheduled redetermination or due to a termination of hedge positions, the Company has a period of six months to reduce its outstanding debt in equal monthly installments to the adjusted credit line available. Interest rates under the credit facility are based on Euro-Dollars (LIBOR) or Base Rate (Prime) indications, plus a margin. These associated margins increase if the total indebtedness under the credit facility and the Company’s senior notes is greater than 25%, greater than 50%, greater than 75% or greater than 90% of the Borrowing Base, as shown below:
                                         
    Debt Percentage
    <25%   ³ 25% <50%   ³ 50% <75%   ³ 75% <90%   ³ 90%
Eurodollar Margin
    2.000 %     2.250 %     2.500 %     2.750 %     3.000 %
Base Rate Margin
    1.125 %     1.375 %     1.625 %     1.875 %     2.125 %
The credit facility provides for a commitment fee on the unused available balance at annual rates of 0.50%.
The credit facility contains various customary restrictions, which include the following:
(a) Maintenance of a minimum annual coverage ratio of operating cash flow to interest expense for the trailing four quarters of 2.8 to 1.0.
(b) Maintenance of an asset coverage ratio of the present value of proved reserves plus working capital to debt of 1.5 to 1.0.
(c) Maintenance of a current ratio, as defined in the agreement, of 1.0 to 1.0.
(d) Prohibition on the merger or sale of all, or substantially all, of the Company’s or any subsidiary’s assets to a third party, except under certain limited conditions.
In addition, the credit facility includes a customary condition to the Company’s borrowings under the facility that there has not occurred a material adverse change with respect to the Company.
At September 30, 2009, the Company had $128 million of borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility at a weighted-average interest rate of 3.7%.
The Company believes it is in compliance in all material respects with its debt covenants.

8. LONG-TERM DEBT

Effective on August 9, 2005, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a group of financial institutions (the “Lenders”). Effective September 27, 2006, the Company entered into an amendment and restatement of its Credit Facility (the “Amendment”). The Amendment decreased the overall range of interest rates the Company must pay on amounts outstanding on the Credit Facility and lowered the facility fee. In addition, the Amendment extended the term of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility, as amended, allows the Company to increase the revolving credit commitment up to a maximum aggregate revolving credit commitment of $175.0 million. The Credit Facility, as amended, currently provides for a revolving line of credit that will expire on September 27, 2011 in the aggregate amount of $100.0 million, subject to continued covenant compliance. A portion of the revolving line of credit (i) in the aggregate amount of $25.0 million may be available for issuances of letters of credit and (ii) in the aggregate amount of $15.0 million may be available for swing line loans. The Credit Facility, as amended, currently bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.32% and adjusts in the range of 0.32% to 0.80% above LIBOR based on the level of the Company’s total debt and its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) as defined in the agreement. In addition, the Company is required to pay a quarterly facility fee ranging from 0.08% to 0.20% based on the aggregate amount available under the Credit Facility, as amended, and the level of the Company’s total debt and its adjusted EBITDA. Borrowings under the Credit Facility, as amended, are guaranteed by the Company and certain of the Company’s U.S. and foreign subsidiaries, which guarantees are secured by a pledge of shares of certain foreign subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2009, there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility, as amended.

The Credit Facility, as amended, contains customary default provisions, and the Company must comply with various financial and non-financial covenants. The financial covenants consist of a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio. The primary non-financial covenants contain certain limits on the Company’s ability to pay dividends, conduct certain mergers or acquisitions, make certain investments and loans, incur future indebtedness or liens, alter the Company’s capital structure or sell stock or assets. As of September 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Facility.

As of May 31, 2009 and August 24, 2008, $9.2 million and $300.0 million, respectively, of senior debt due August 2027 was included in current installments of long-term debt due to the existence of a put option that was exercisable by the holders of this senior debt from June 1, 2009 to July 1, 2009. As part of our debt refinancing in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, we repaid $290.8 million of this senior debt. We reclassified the amount not put by the holders to senior long-term debt in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, when the put option expired.

Revolving Credit Facility

CSX has a $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks. The facility allows borrowings at floating rates based on the London interbank offered rate ("LIBOR"), plus a spread depending upon ratings assigned by Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's Ratings Group to CSX's senior, unsecured, long-term indebtedness for borrowed money. The facility requires CSX to maintain a ratio of total debt to total capitalization below a prescribed limit.  The facility does not require CSX to post collateral under any circumstances.  As of September 2009, this facility was not drawn on, and CSX was in compliance with all covenant requirements under the facility.  This facility expires in 2012.

Receivables Securitization Facility

On September 28, 2009, following the end of the fiscal quarter, the Company entered into a $250 million receivables securitization facility.  The purpose of this facility is to provide an alternative to commercial paper and a low cost source of short-term liquidity. This facility has a 364-day term.  As of the date of this filing, CSX has not drawn on this facility.  Under the terms of this facility, CSX Transportation and CSX Intermodal transfer eligible third-party receivables to CSX Trade Receivables, a bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary.  A separate subsidiary of CSX will service the receivables.  Upon transfer, the receivables become assets of CSX Trade Receivables and are not available to the creditors of CSX or any of its other subsidiaries. The cash received in exchange for these receivables when CSX Trade Receivables monetizes them by selling them to third party lenders will be recorded as debt on CSX’s consolidated financial statements.

During the first nine months of 2009, the Company made mandatory principal payments totaling $39,375 on the term loan A.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company was required to provide enhanced disclosures about the Company’s derivative and hedging activities. The Company is required to provide additional disclosures about (a) how and why the Company uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the Company’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. These requirements did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company has elected to provide comparative disclosures for the prior period presented.

The Company has entered into several interest rate swap agreements as a means of hedging its exposure to and volatility from variable-based interest rate changes as part of its overall risk management strategy. These agreements are not held for trading or speculative purposes, and have the economic effect of converting portions of our variable rate debt to a fixed rate. These agreements are designated as cash flow hedges, and as a result, hedge-effective gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair values of these swaps are reported in other comprehensive income until such time as each specific swap tranche is realized, at which time the amounts are reclassified into net income. Net amounts paid or received for each specific swap tranche that have settled have been reflected as adjustments to debt expense. These agreements do not contain credit-risk contingent features.

 

As of September 30, 2009, the Company maintained a total of eight interest rate swap agreements with amortizing notional amounts totaling $482,600. These agreements had the economic effect of modifying the LIBOR-based variable interest rate on an equivalent amount of the Company’s debt to fixed rates ranging from 3.88% to 4.70%, resulting in an overall weighted average effective interest rate of 5.70% on the hedged portion of the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities, including the term loan B margin of 1.50%. The swap agreements expire in 2010 and require quarterly interest payments. The Company estimates that approximately $12,300 of existing unrealized pre-tax losses in other comprehensive income at September 30, 2009 will be reclassified into income over the next twelve months.

The following table summarizes our derivative instruments as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

Total comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $128,465 and $360,677, respectively, including an increase to other comprehensive income for amounts reclassified into income, net of unrealized valuation losses on interest rate swaps of $1,667 and $5,866, net of tax, respectively, and an increase to other comprehensive income for unrealized valuation gains on investments, net of amounts reclassified into income of $527 and $635, net of tax, respectively.

Total comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $107,943 and $309,239 including adjustments to other comprehensive income for valuation gains (losses) on interest rate swaps, net of amounts reclassified into income of $636 and $(1,729), net of tax, respectively, and adjustments to other comprehensive income for unrealized losses on investments, net of amounts reclassified into income of ($431) and ($606), net of tax, respectively.

As of September 30, 2009, the interest rates were economically fixed on approximately 25% of the Company’s variable rate debt and approximately 61% of its total debt.

As a result of the swap agreements, the overall effective weighted average interest rate on the Senior Secured Credit Facilities was 2.81%, based upon the current margins in effect of 1.50%, as of September 30, 2009.

The Company’s overall average effective interest rate during the third quarter of 2009 was 4.79% and as of September 30, 2009 was 4.76%.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company has undrawn revolving credit facilities totaling $250,000 of which approximately $48,000 was committed for outstanding letters of credit. In addition, the Company currently has undrawn revolving credit facilities totaling $3,000 associated with several of its joint ventures. These revolving credit facilities are typically guaranteed by DaVita Inc. or one of its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries based upon its proportionate ownership percentage.

7 7/8% Senior Notes due 2019
On August 17, 2009, we issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of our ten-year, 7 7/8% Senior Notes due September 1, 2019 at an issue price of 97.467%. Interest accrues at an annual rate of 7 7/8% and is payable semi-annually in cash, in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing on March 1, 2010.
On October 5, 2009, we issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of additional 7 7/8% Senior Notes due 2019 at an issue price of 101.750% plus accrued interest from August 17, 2009. These notes were issued as additional notes under the indenture, dated as of August 17, 2009 (the “Indenture”), pursuant to which we issued the $1.0 billion discussed above. These notes and the notes previously issued under the Indenture will be treated as a single class of debt securities under the Indenture.
The 7 7/8% Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a “make-whole” premium, as defined in the related Indenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest. Prior to September 1, 2012, we may also redeem up to 35% of each of the 7 7/8% Senior Notes at specified premiums with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings or capital contributions.
The 7 7/8% Senior Notes are:
    general unsecured senior obligations of DISH DBS Corporation (“DDBS”);
 
    ranked equally in right of payment with all of DDBS’ and the guarantors’ existing and future unsecured senior debt; and
 
    ranked effectively junior to our and the guarantors’ current and future secured senior indebtedness up to the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness.
The Indenture related to the 7 7/8% Senior Notes contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, impose limitations on the ability of DDBS and its restricted subsidiaries to:
    incur additional debt;
 
    pay dividends or make distributions on DDBS’ capital stock or repurchase DDBS’ capital stock;
 
    make certain investments;
 
    create liens or enter into sale and leaseback transactions;
 
    enter into transactions with affiliates;
 
    merge or consolidate with another company; and
 
    transfer or sell assets.

Capital Lease Obligations
Ciel II, a Canadian DBS satellite, was launched in December 2008 and commenced commercial operation at the 129 degree orbital location in February 2009. We have leased 100% of the capacity on the satellite for an initial term of ten years. Prior to the launch, we pre-paid $131 million to SES Americom in connection with the lease agreement and we capitalized $16 million of interest related to this satellite. We have accounted for this agreement as a capital lease asset by recording $277 million as the estimated fair value of the satellite and recording a capital lease obligation in the amount of $130 million.
As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had $500 million and $223 million, respectively, capitalized for satellites acquired under capital leases included in “Property and equipment, net” with related accumulated depreciation of $56 million and $26 million, respectively. This increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 related to the Ciel II satellite is discussed above.
In our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), we recognized depreciation expense on satellites acquired under capital lease agreements as follows:

On March 9, 2009 the Company borrowed $3 billion under its Five Year Competitive Advance and Revolving Credit Facility Agreement, dated April 24, 2006; $1.6 billion of the funds were repaid on May 15, 2009 and $0.5 billion of the funds were repaid on June 30, 2009. The funds are due in April 2011 and bear interest at a variable LIBOR-plus rate. The Company is using the funds to finance day-to-day operations, to repay indebtedness maturing in the ordinary course of business and for other general corporate purposes. At September 30, 2009, the Company had an unused and committed balance of $2.1 billion under the Agreement.
 
Debt financing for the acquisition of Rohm and Haas was provided by a $9,226 million draw on a Term Loan Agreement (“Term Loan”) on April 1, 2009. The Term Loan matures on April 1, 2010, provided however, that the original maturity date may be extended for an additional year at the option of the Company, for a maximum outstanding balance of $8.0 billion. The actual interest rate of the Term Loan and the resulting fees that the Company will ultimately pay for the Term Loan can vary significantly and are dependent on the current short-term interest rates in effect, the mode of borrowing (Base Rate or Eurodollar), the Company’s actual current long-term debt rating by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, the outstanding amount of the Term Loan at the end of each fiscal quarter, and the progress toward key targets such as the issuance of equity financing, among other factors. Prepaid up-front debt issuance costs of $304 million were paid. Amortization of the prepaid costs was accelerated concurrent with payments; $24 million remained to be amortized at September 30, 2009. The Term Loan requires the Company to maintain a total leverage ratio, measured as total debt to EBITDA on a four quarters Trailing Consolidated EBITDA basis, above specific thresholds as defined in the Term Loan Agreement. The Term Loan was repaid through a combination of proceeds obtained through asset sales, the issuance of debt securities and/or the issuance of equity securities. At September 30, 2009, $8,226 million had been paid on the Term Loan, leaving a balance of $1.0 billion. On October 1, 2009, the remaining $1.0 billion balance of the Term Loan was fully repaid from proceeds of the sale of Morton, (see Note E).
 
On May 7, 2009, the Company issued $6 billion of debt securities in a public offering. The offering included $1.75 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.6 percent notes due 2014; $3.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 8.55 percent notes due 2019; and $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 9.4 percent notes due 2039. Aggregate principal amount of $1.35 billion of the 8.55 percent notes due 2019 were offered by accounts and funds managed by Paulson & Co. and trusts created by members of the Haas family. These investors received notes from the Company in payment for 1.3 million shares of the Company’s Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B, at par plus accrued dividends (see Note P for further information). The Company used the net proceeds received from this offering for refinancing, renewals, replacements and refunding of outstanding indebtedness, including repayment of a portion of the Term Loan.
 
On August 4, 2009, the Company issued $2.75 billion of debt securities in a public offering. The offering included $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.85 percent notes due 2012; $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.90 percent notes due 2015; and $0.25 billion aggregate principal amount of floating rate notes due 2011. The Company used the net proceeds received from this offering for refinancing, renewals, replacements and refunding of outstanding indebtedness, including repayment of a portion of the Term Loan. On October 1, 2009, the remaining $1.0 billion balance of the Term Loan was fully repaid from proceeds of the sale of Morton (see Note E).
 
The fair value of debt assumed from Rohm and Haas on April 1, 2009 of $2,576 million is reflected in the long-term debt table above. On August 21, 2009, the Company executed a buy-back of 175 million Euro of private placement debt acquired from Rohm and Haas and recognized a $56 million pretax loss on this early extinguishment, included in “Sundry income (expense) – net.”
 
On September 28, 2009, Calvin Capital LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, repaid a $674 million note payable which was issued in September 2008.
 
The Company’s outstanding debt of $23.7 billion has been issued under indentures which contain, among other provisions, covenants with which the Company must comply while the underlying notes are outstanding. Such covenants include obligations to not allow liens on principal U.S. manufacturing facilities, enter into sale and lease-back transactions with respect to principal U.S. manufacturing facilities, or merge or consolidate with any other corporation or sell or convey all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. The outstanding debt also contains customary default provisions. Failure of the Company to comply with any of these covenants could result in a default under the applicable indenture which would allow the note holders to accelerate the due date of the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the subject notes.
 
The Company’s primary credit agreements contain covenant and default provisions in addition to the covenants set forth above with respect to the Company’s debt. Significant other covenants and default provisions include:
 
 
(a)
the obligation to maintain the ratio of the Company’s consolidated indebtedness to consolidated capitalization at no greater than 0.65 to 1.00 at any time the aggregate outstanding amount of loans under the primary credit agreements exceeds $500 million,
 
 
(b)
a default if the Company or an applicable subsidiary fails to make any payment on indebtedness of $50 million or more when due, or any other default under the applicable agreement permits the acceleration of $200 million or more of principal, or results in the acceleration of $100 million or more of principal, and
 
 
(c)
a default if the Company or any applicable subsidiary fails to discharge or stay within 30 days after the entry of a final judgment of more than $200 million.
 
Failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants or default provisions could result in a default under the applicable credit agreement which would allow the lenders to not fund future loan requests and to accelerate the due date of the outstanding principal and accrued interest on any outstanding loans.
 
At September 30, 2009, management believes the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants and default provisions referred to above.

The indentures and other agreements governing the Company’s indebtedness contain certain restrictive financial and operating covenants including covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness, incur liens, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, complete acquisitions, merge, sell assets and perform certain other corporate actions.  The covenants do not contain a rating trigger.  Therefore, a change in Company’s debt rating would not trigger a default under the indentures and other agreements governing the Company’s indebtedness.

 

Aggregate maturities of long-term debt are $2.3 million in 2009, $0 in 2010, $6.0 million in 2011, $200.0 million in 2012 and $10.0 million in 2013.

     We have designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. A portion of the amount included in accumulated other comprehensive earnings is reclassified into interest expense as a yield adjustment as interest payments are made on the Term and Revolving Loans. In accordance with the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements, the inputs used to determine the estimated fair value of our interest rate swaps are Level 2-type measurements. We considered our own credit risk when determining the fair value of our interest rate swaps.

     Our existing cash flow hedges are highly effective and there is no current impact on earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness. It is our practice to execute such instruments with credit-worthy banks at the time of execution and not to enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. As of September 30, 2009, we believe that our interest rate swap counterparties will be able to fulfill their obligations under our agreements and we believe we will have debt outstanding through the various expiration dates of the swaps such that the future hedge cash flows remain probable of occurring.

On February 5, 2009, the Company commenced an exchange offer for any and all of its outstanding convertible notes. Holders who elected to exchange their notes in this offer and whose notes were accepted for exchange by the Company received 90.1224 shares of the Company’s common stock and a cash payment of $20 per $1,000 principal amount of notes. The offer expired on March 9, 2009. Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $99.9 million were exchanged pursuant to the exchange offer and were converted into 9.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company recognized a gain of $2.2 million from the extinguishment of the notes; the gain and the $2.0 million expense associated with the cash inducement are reported in other expense (income), net.

In addition, in July 2009, convertible notes with an aggregate principal amount of $30.1 million were converted into 2.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company recognized a gain of $0.3 million from the extinguishment of the notes, which is reported in other expense (income), net.

26 FLUOR CORP

(10)             In February 2004, the company issued $330 million of 1.5 percent Convertible Senior Notes (the “Notes”) due February 15, 2024 and received proceeds of $323 million, net of underwriting discounts.  In December 2004, the company irrevocably elected to pay the principal amount of the Notes in cash.  Notes are convertible if a specified trading price of the company’s common stock (the “trigger price”) is achieved and maintained for a specified period. The trigger price condition was satisfied during the fourth quarter of 2008 and third quarter of 2009 and the Notes were therefore classified as short-term debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, holders converted $15 million of the Notes in exchange for the principal balance owed in cash plus 130,186 shares of the company’s common stock.

 

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (ASC 470-20). ASC 470-20 requires the issuer of a convertible debt instrument to separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that reflects the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest expense is recognized in subsequent periods. ASC 470-20 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The company adopted ASC 470-20 during the first quarter of 2009.

 

As a result of the adoption of ASC 470-20, the company recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment consisting of an increase to additional paid-in capital of $24.4 million, net of deferred taxes of $0.2 million, and a reduction of debt of $0.4 million for the equity component of the Notes. The December 31, 2008 balance of retained earnings was reduced by $24.2 million.

 

Additionally, interest expense as a result of debt discount amortization increased by $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, and $1.4 million and $5.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. There was no debt discount amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase to interest expense resulted in a tax benefit of $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, and $0.7 million and $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. Net earnings attributable to Fluor Corporation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 were increased by $0.7 million (less than $0.01 per share) and $2.1 million ($0.01 per share). Net earnings attributable to Fluor Corporation for three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 were reduced by $1.2 million (less than $0.01 per share) and $3.8 million ($0.02 per share), respectively.

The Notes are convertible into shares of the company’s common stock (par value $0.01 per share) at a conversion rate of 35.9104 shares per each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustment as described in the indenture. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 includes original coupon interest of $0.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 includes original coupon interest of $0.9 million and $3.9 million, respectively. The effective interest rate on the liability component was 4.375 percent through February 15, 2009 at which time the discount on the liability was fully amortized. The if-converted value of $217 million is in excess of the principal value as of September 30, 2009.

 

As of September 30, 2009, the company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants related to its debt agreements.

10.   Long-Term Debt:

On December 7, 2007, the Company established a $500 million revolving credit facility for the purpose of providing additional financial liquidity for the financing of business development and corporate strategic initiatives.  The facility can be increased up to $750 million based upon agreement with the participating lenders and expires on December 7, 2012.  As of November 6, 2009, the Company has not drawn any funds from the available credit.  The utilization of the revolving credit facility is subject to the adherence to certain financial covenants such as leverage and interest coverage ratios.
28 FORTUNE BRANDS INC
11. Long-Term Debt

In June 2009, we issued long-term debt securities of $500 million under our shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The 6  3/8% Notes will mature in June 2014. Proceeds were used to pay down balances on our revolving credit facility. Net proceeds of $496.7 million are less price discounts of $0.3 million and underwriting fees of $3.0 million.

In January 2009, we borrowed on our $400 million three-year term loan that matures in October 2011, to repay a €300 million note (approximately $394 million) that was due January 30, 2009. The interest rate under this term loan is variable based on U.S. LIBOR at the time of the borrowing and the Company’s long-term credit rating.

In connection with each of its three revolving credit agreements and its term loan agreement, the Company agreed to provide guarantees from its domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries in the event that the Company’s credit ratings from either Moody’s or S&P fell below investment grade. In the first quarter of 2009, the Company’s credit rating was downgraded below investment grade by both S&P and Moody’s. Accordingly, the guarantees were triggered and the existing notes and other unsecured debt of the Company became structurally subordinated to the revolving credit agreements and the term loan.
On September 25, 2009, the Company further amended the terms of its three revolving credit agreements and its term loan agreement to provide for the issuance of up to $500 million of additional long-term debt carrying the same guarantees put in place for the revolving credit agreements and term loan. In addition, the Company also amended one of the credit agreements to permit it to obtain up to $100 million of letters of credit from the lenders, which would count toward their commitments.
On August 21, 2009, Moody’s confirmed the Company’s Ba1 corporate family rating and its Ba2 senior unsecured note rating which had been placed under review for a possible downgrade in April. In addition, Moody’s rated the Company’s bank debt, which includes its revolving credit agreements and term loan, Baa3. The Baa3 rating also applies to any long-term debt which has the same subsidiary guarantees as the bank debt. The Company’s debt is rated BB by Standard and Poor’s.
During the first quarter of 2009, the Company repurchased $68.8 million in principal amount of the floating rate notes in privately negotiated transactions. In connection with these transactions, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $1.1 million which is classified in “Other non-operating items” in the Statement of Income for the first quarter. This gain is net of $0.6 million reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss for related interest swap agreements in the first quarter.
On May 5, 2009, the Company completed a private exchange offer relating to its 5.75% fixed rate notes due June 2011 and its 6.375% fixed rate notes due April 2012. The Company exchanged approximately $67 million in principal amount of new 10% senior notes due 2015 for approximately $67 million principal amount of the 2011 notes, and approximately $193 million in principal amount of new 10% senior notes due 2016 for approximately $193 million principal amount of the 2012 notes.
The new 2015 notes and the new 2016 notes (together, the Notes) are senior unsecured obligations and are guaranteed by those Company subsidiaries providing guarantees under the revolving credit agreements and the term loan agreement. The Notes and the subsidiary guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
In connection with the exchange transactions and in accordance with the modifications and extinguishments requirements of ASC Topic 470, “Debt,” the Company recorded a gain of approximately $42.7 million which is classified in “Other non-operating items” in the Statement of Income for the second quarter. This gain resulted from recording the Notes at fair value as of the time of the exchange and extinguishing the old notes at their historical book values. Fair value of the Notes was based on their trading prices on and shortly after the exchange date. The discount created by recording the Notes at fair value instead of face value is being amortized over the term of the loans to interest expense.
As more fully described below in “NOTE 16 – Subsequent Event,” the Company completed a $500 million private placement offering on October 2, 2009.

Note 7.   Long-Term Borrowings
 
As of September 2009 and November 2008, long-term borrowings were $204.30 billion and $185.68 billion, respectively, comprised of $14.58 billion and $17.46 billion, respectively, included in “Other secured financings” in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition and $189.72 billion and $168.22 billion, respectively, of unsecured long-term borrowings. See Note 3 for information regarding other secured financings.
 
The firm’s unsecured long-term borrowings extend through 2043 and consist principally of senior borrowings.
 
Unsecured long-term borrowings are set forth below:
 
                 
    As of
    September
  November
    2009   2008
    (in millions)
Fixed rate obligations (1)
  $ 119,398     $ 103,825

Total (3)
  $ 189,724     $ 168,220  
                 
 
 
(1) As of September 2009 and November 2008, $81.28 billion and $70.08 billion, respectively, of the firm’s fixed rate debt obligations were denominated in U.S. dollars and interest rates ranged from 1.63% to 10.04% and from 3.87% to 10.04%, respectively. As of September 2009 and November 2008, $38.12 billion and $33.75 billion, respectively, of the firm’s fixed rate debt obligations were denominated in non-U.S. dollars and interest rates ranged from 0.67% to 7.45% and from 0.67% to 8.88%, respectively.
 
(2) As of September 2009 and November 2008, $35.08 billion and $32.41 billion, respectively, of the firm’s floating rate debt obligations were denominated in U.S. dollars. As of September 2009 and November 2008, $35.25 billion and $31.99 billion, respectively, of the firm’s floating rate debt obligations were denominated in non-U.S. dollars. Floating interest rates generally are based on LIBOR or the federal funds target rate. Equity-linked and indexed instruments are included in floating rate obligations.
 
(3) Includes $20.85 billion and $0 as of September 2009 and November 2008, respectively, guaranteed by the FDIC under the TLGP.
 
Unsecured long-term borrowings by maturity date are set forth below (in millions):
 
         
    As of
    September 2009

    93,115  
         
Total (1)(2)
  $ 189,724  
         
 
 
(1) Unsecured long-term borrowings maturing within one year of the financial statement date and unsecured long-term borrowings that are redeemable within one year of the financial statement date at the option of the holder are included as unsecured short-term borrowings in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.
 
(2) Unsecured long-term borrowings that are repayable prior to maturity at the option of the firm are reflected at their contractual maturity dates. Unsecured long-term borrowings that are redeemable prior to maturity at the option of the holder are reflected at the dates such options become exercisable.
 
The firm enters into derivative contracts to effectively convert a substantial portion of its unsecured long-term borrowings which are not accounted for at fair value into floating rate obligations. Accordingly, excluding the cumulative impact of changes in the firm’s credit spreads, the carrying value of unsecured long-term borrowings approximated fair value as of September 2009 and November 2008. For unsecured long-term borrowings for which the firm did not elect the fair value option, the cumulative impact due to the widening of the firm’s own credit spreads would be a reduction in the carrying value of total unsecured long-term borrowings of approximately 1% and 9% as of September 2009 and November 2008, respectively.
 
The effective weighted average interest rates for unsecured long-term borrowings are set forth below:

    September 2009   November 2008

(1) Includes fixed rate obligations that have been converted into floating rate obligations through derivative contracts.
 
(2) The weighted average interest rates as of September 2009 and November 2008 excluded financial instruments accounted for at fair value under the fair value option.
 
Subordinated Borrowings
 
Unsecured long-term borrowings included subordinated borrowings with outstanding principal amounts of $19.16 billion and $19.26 billion as of September 2009 and November 2008, respectively, as set forth below.
 
Junior Subordinated Debt Issued to Trusts in Connection with Fixed-to-Floating and Floating Rate Normal Automatic Preferred Enhanced Capital Securities.  In 2007, Group Inc. issued a total of $2.25 billion of remarketable junior subordinated debt to Goldman Sachs Capital II and Goldman Sachs Capital III (APEX Trusts), Delaware statutory trusts that, in turn, issued $2.25 billion of guaranteed perpetual Normal Automatic Preferred Enhanced Capital Securities (APEX) to third parties and a de minimis amount of common securities to Group Inc. Group Inc. also entered into contracts with the APEX Trusts to sell $2.25 billion of perpetual non-cumulative preferred stock to be issued by Group Inc. (the stock purchase contracts). The APEX Trusts are wholly owned finance subsidiaries of the firm for regulatory and legal purposes but are not consolidated for accounting purposes.
 
The firm pays interest semi-annually on $1.75 billion of junior subordinated debt issued to Goldman Sachs Capital II at a fixed annual rate of 5.59% and the debt matures on June 1, 2043. The firm pays interest quarterly on $500 million of junior subordinated debt issued to Goldman Sachs Capital III at a rate per annum equal to three-month LIBOR plus 0.57% and the debt matures on September 1, 2043. In addition, the firm makes contract payments at a rate of 0.20% per annum on the stock purchase contracts held by the APEX Trusts. The firm has the right to defer payments on the junior subordinated debt and the stock purchase contracts, subject to limitations, and therefore cause payment on the APEX to be deferred. During any such extension period, the firm will not be permitted to, among other things, pay dividends on or make certain repurchases of its common or preferred stock. The junior subordinated debt is junior in right of payment to all of Group Inc.’s senior indebtedness and all of Group Inc.’s other subordinated borrowings.
 
In connection with the APEX issuance, the firm covenanted in favor of certain of its debtholders, who are initially the holders of Group Inc.’s 6.345% Junior Subordinated Debentures due February 15, 2034, that, subject to certain exceptions, the firm would not redeem or purchase (i) Group Inc.’s junior subordinated debt issued to the APEX Trusts prior to the applicable stock purchase date or (ii) APEX or shares of Group Inc.’s Series E or Series F Preferred Stock prior to the date that is ten years after the applicable stock purchase date, unless the applicable redemption or purchase price does not exceed a maximum amount determined by reference to the aggregate amount of net cash proceeds that the firm has received from the sale of qualifying equity securities during the 180-day period preceding the redemption or purchase.
 
The firm accounted for the stock purchase contracts as equity instruments and, accordingly, recorded the cost of the stock purchase contracts as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. See Note 9 for information on the preferred stock that Group Inc. will issue in connection with the stock purchase contracts.
 
Junior Subordinated Debt Issued to a Trust in Connection with Trust Preferred Securities. Group Inc. issued $2.84 billion of junior subordinated debentures in 2004 to Goldman Sachs Capital I (Trust), a Delaware statutory trust that, in turn, issued $2.75 billion of guaranteed preferred beneficial interests to third parties and $85 million of common beneficial interests to Group Inc. and invested the proceeds from the sale in junior subordinated debentures issued by Group Inc. The Trust is a wholly owned finance subsidiary of the firm for regulatory and legal purposes but is not consolidated for accounting purposes.
 
The firm pays interest semi-annually on these debentures at an annual rate of 6.345% and the debentures mature on February 15, 2034. The coupon rate and the payment dates applicable to the beneficial interests are the same as the interest rate and payment dates applicable to the debentures. The firm has the right, from time to time, to defer payment of interest on the debentures, and, therefore, cause payment on the Trust’s preferred beneficial interests to be deferred, in each case up to ten consecutive semi-annual periods. During any such extension period, the firm will not be permitted to, among other things, pay dividends on or make certain repurchases of its common stock. The Trust is not permitted to pay any distributions on the common beneficial interests held by Group Inc. unless all dividends payable on the preferred beneficial interests have been paid in full. These debentures are junior in right of payment to all of Group Inc.’s senior indebtedness and all of Group Inc.’s subordinated borrowings, other than the junior subordinated debt issued in connection with the APEX.
 
Subordinated Debt.  As of September 2009, the firm had $14.07 billion of other subordinated debt outstanding with maturities ranging from fiscal 2010 to 2038. The effective weighted average interest rate on this debt was 0.46%, after giving effect to derivative contracts used to convert fixed rate obligations into floating rate obligations. As of November 2008, the firm had $14.17 billion of other subordinated debt outstanding with maturities ranging from fiscal 2009 to 2038. The effective weighted average interest rate on this debt was 1.99%, after giving effect to derivative contracts used to convert fixed rate obligations into floating rate obligations. This debt is junior in right of payment to all of the firm’s senior indebtedness.

Our $215 million Revolving Facility matures in July 2010. The outstanding balance of $5.0 million, which consists of borrowings with a maturity of less than 10 days, is classified as short-term debt in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2009.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we redeemed a total of $180 million of the outstanding principal amount of the 10 1/4% Senior Notes, due 2012, at 103.417% plus accrued interest. On September 28, 2009, we redeemed all of the remaining outstanding Senior Notes, $19.9 million, at 101.708% plus accrued interest. Total cash to redeem the Senior Notes approximated $20.2 million. The expenses related to each redemption are discussed in Note 8.

On September 30, 2009, our Spanish subsidiary received a $1.8 million economic stimulus loan from the Ministry of Industry, Government of Spain. The loan is non-interest bearing and matures in October 2024. Repayment in 10 annual installments commences in October 2015. The loan is to be used for costs associated with a capital project. We must return a proportionate amount of the loan if we do not spend the amount budgeted for the capital project prior to December 31, 2009. Since we have spent approximately 50% of the required amount as of September 30, 2009, the remaining 50% of the cash received is reported as restricted cash in our consolidated balance sheet. Because the loan is non-interest bearing, we are required to record the loan at its present value of $1.1 million (determined using an interest rate of 4.33%). The difference between the proceeds received and the present value of the debt is recorded as debt discount and deferred expense. The discount will be amortized to income using the interest method; the deferred charge will be amortized to income using the same basis and over the same period as the capital project assets are depreciated.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we repaid $250 million of amounts previously borrowed under our $1.0 billion credit agreement to fund the October 31, 2008 acquisition of Cariten. As of September 30, 2009, there were no borrowings outstanding under our $1.0 billion credit agreement. The fair value of our long-term debt was $1,567.9 million at September 30, 2009 and $1,503.4 million at December 31, 2008. The fair value of our long-term debt is determined based on quoted market prices for the same or similar debt, or, if no quoted market prices are available, on the current rates estimated to be available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

LONG-TERM DEBT

On April 1, 2009, we commenced a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of our outstanding 2009 Notes, as well as a consent solicitation to amend the indenture (the “Indenture”) governing our outstanding 2009 Notes, our 5.125% Senior Notes due 2014 and our 6.125% Senior Notes due 2034 (collectively, the “Notes”).  The purpose of the consent solicitation was to receive the consent of holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes outstanding for proposed amendments to the Indenture to provide for a carveout to the lien covenant, for liens incurred in connection with the new senior secured credit facility described above (the “Amendments”).  We received the required consents on April 15, 2009; consequently, the Amendments became operative upon payment of the consent fee to each validly consenting holder of the Notes, and are binding on all holders, including non-consenting holders of Notes.  The consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of 2009 Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the tender offer was $980, and the consent fee for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes with respect to which holders validly delivered and did not revoke their consent pursuant to the consent solicitation was $20.

Under the tender offer, we repurchased a total of $242.5 million of our outstanding 2009 Notes for a payment of $237.7 million, resulting in a loss on debt extinguishment of $1.9 million after fees and related expenses.  We also paid $12.9 million in consent fees and $1.7 million of related costs, of which $8.0 million is being amortized over the life of the remaining related Notes as additional interest expense.

10.    Notes Payable

During September 2009, the Company issued $300.0 million of 10-year Senior Unsecured Notes at an interest rate of 6.875% payable semi-annually in arrears.  These notes were sold at 99.84% of par value.  Net proceeds from the issuance were approximately $297.3 million, after related transaction costs of approximately $0.3 million.  The proceeds from this issuance were primarily used to repay the Company’s $220.0 million unsecured term loan described below.  The remaining proceeds were used to repay certain construction loans that were scheduled to mature in 2010 (see Note 5).  

During April 2009, the Company obtained a two-year $220.0 million unsecured term loan with a consortium of banks, which accrued interest at a spread of 4.65% to LIBOR (subject to a 2% LIBOR floor) or at the Company’s option, at a spread of 3.65% to the “ABR,” as defined in the Credit Agreement.  The term loan was scheduled to mature in April 2011.  The Company utilized proceeds from this term loan to partially repay the outstanding balance under the Company’s U.S. revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.  During September 2009, the Company fully repaid the $220.0 million outstanding balance on this loan.  

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company repaid (i) its $130.0 million 6.875% senior notes, which matured on February 10, 2009, (ii) its $20.0 million 7.56% Medium Term Note, which matured in May 2009 and (iii) its $25.0 million 7.06% Medium Term Note, which matured in July 2009.

Additionally during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company repurchased in aggregate approximately $36.1 million in face value of its Medium Term Notes  and Fixed Rate Bonds for an aggregate discounted purchase price of approximately $33.7 million.  These transactions resulted in an aggregate gain of approximately $2.4 million.

Legg Mason is accreting the carrying value of the 2.5% convertible senior notes to the principal amount at maturity using an interest rate of 6.5% (the effective borrowing rate for non-convertible debt at the time of issuance) over its expected life of seven years, resulting in additional interest expense for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 of approximately $8.6 million and $8.1 million, respectively. The amount by which the notes’ if-converted value exceeds the accreted value as of September 30, 2009 is approximately $38.5 million using a current interest rate of 5.54%, representing a potential loss.

 

During the September 2009 quarter, Legg Mason completed a tender offer and retired 91% of its outstanding Equity Units (20.9 million units) including the extinguishment of $1.05 billion of its outstanding 5.6% Senior notes and termination of the related purchase contracts in exchange for the issuance of 18.6 million shares of Legg Mason common stock and a payment of $130.9 million in cash.  The cash payment was allocated between the liability and equity components of the Equity Units based on relative fair values, resulting in a loss on debt extinguishment of $22.0 million (including a non-cash charge of $6.3 million of accelerated expense of deferred issue costs) and a decrease in additional paid-in capital of $115.2 million.


Legg Mason’s $100 million, one-year revolving credit agreement for general operating purposes expired with no borrowings outstanding in September 2009.

7. Long Term Debt
     In June 2009, Lorillard Tobacco issued $750 million of 8.125% unsecured senior notes due June 23, 2019 (the “Notes”) pursuant to an Indenture, dated June 23, 2009, and First Supplemental Indenture, dated June 23, 2009 (the “Supplemental Indenture”). Lorillard Tobacco is the principal, wholly-owned operating subsidiary of the Company and the Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company. The interest rate payable on the Notes is subject to incremental increases from 0.25% to 2.00% in the event either Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) or both Moody’s and S&P downgrade the Notes below investment grade (Baa3 and BBB- for Moody’s and S&P, respectively).
     In September 2009, Lorillard Tobacco entered into interest rate swap agreements, which the Company guaranteed, with a notional amount of $750 million to modify its exposure to interest rate risk by converting the interest rate payable on the Notes from a fixed rate to a floating rate based on LIBOR. See note 8 for additional information on the interest rate swap agreements.
     Upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event, Lorillard Tobacco will be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued interest. A “change of control triggering event” occurs when there is both a “change of control” (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture) and the Notes cease to be rated investment grade by both Moody’s and S&P within 60 days of the occurrence of a change of control or public announcement of the intention to effect a change of control. The Notes are not entitled to any sinking fund and are not redeemable prior to maturity. The Notes contain covenants that restrict liens and sale and leaseback transactions, subject to a limited exception. At September 30, 2009, the carrying value of the Notes was $751 million and the fair value was $852 million. The fair value of the Notes was based on market pricing. The net proceeds from the Notes will be used for general corporate purposes that may include, among other things, the repurchase, redemption or retirement of securities including our common stock, additions to working capital and capital expenditures.

As of the end of our 2009 third quarter, all debt was unsecured, and we had long-term public debt ratings of BBB- from Standard and Poor’s and Baa3 from Moody’s.

In the first three quarters of 2009, we repurchased $122 million principal amount of our Senior Notes in the open market, across multiple series. We recorded a gain of $21 million for the debt extinguishment representing the difference between the acquired debt’s purchase price of $98 million and its carrying amount of $119 million.

Subsequent to the 2009 third quarter, on September 15, 2009, we made a $79 million cash payment of principal and interest to retire, at maturity, all of our outstanding Series C Senior Notes.

As discussed in more detail in Footnote No. 13, “Long-term debt,” of our 2008 Form 10-K, we are party to a multicurrency revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) that provides for $2.4 billion of aggregate effective borrowings to support general corporate needs, including working capital and capital expenditures, and letters of credit and supported our commercial paper program.

Until the 2008 fourth quarter, we regularly issued short-term commercial paper primarily in the United States and, to a much lesser extent, in Europe. Disruptions in the financial markets beginning in September 2008 significantly reduced liquidity in the commercial paper market. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 2008, we suspended issuing commercial paper and used funds borrowed under the Credit Facility to repay all of our previously issued commercial paper as it matured. Our Standard and Poor’s commercial paper rating at the end of the 2009 third quarter was A3. Because the market for A3 commercial paper is currently very limited, it would be very difficult to rely on the use of this market as a meaningful source of liquidity, and we do not anticipate issuing commercial paper under these circumstances.

We classified outstanding commercial paper as long-term debt based on our ability and intent to refinance it on a long-term basis. We reserved unused capacity under our Credit Facility to repay outstanding commercial paper borrowings in the event that the commercial paper market was not available to us for any reason when outstanding borrowings matured. Given our borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, fluctuations in the commercial paper market or the costs at which we can issue commercial paper have not affected our liquidity, and we do not expect them to do so in the future.

 

Although we are predominantly a manager and franchisor of hotel properties, we depend on capital to buy, develop, and improve hotels, as well as to develop timeshare properties. Capital markets were disrupted in the fourth quarter of 2008 and remain challenging due to the recession and ongoing worldwide financial instability. See the “Cash Requirements and Our Credit Facilities” discussion in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this report for additional information regarding our Credit Facility.

42 MICROCHIP TECHNOLOGY INC
(11)           2.125% Junior Subordinated Convertible Debentures
 
The Company's $1.15 billion principal amount of 2.125% junior subordinated convertible debentures due December 15, 2037, are subordinated in right of payment to any future senior debt of the Company and are effectively subordinated in right of payment to the liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries.  The debentures are convertible, subject to certain conditions, into shares of the Company's common stock at an initial conversion rate of 29.2783 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of debentures, representing an initial conversion price of approximately $34.16 per share of common stock.  As of September 30, 2009, none of the conditions allowing holders of the debentures to convert had been met.  As a result of a cash dividend of $0.339 per share paid in September 2009, the conversion rate was adjusted to 32.1283 shares of common stock per $1,000 of principal amount of debentures, representing a conversion price of approximately $31.13 per share of common stock.
 
As the debentures can be settled in cash upon conversion, for accounting purposes, the debentures were bifurcated into a liability component and an equity component, which are initially recorded at fair value. The carrying value of the equity component at September 30, 2009 and at March 31, 2009 was $822.4 million. The estimated fair value of the liability component of the debentures at the issuance date was $327.6 million, resulting in a debt discount of $822.4 million. The unamortized debt discount was $811.9 million at September 30, 2009 and $815.0 million at March 31, 2009. The carrying value of the debentures was $337.4 million at September 30, 2009 and $334.2 million at March 31, 2009. The remaining period over which the unamortized debt discount will be recognized as non-cash interest expense is 28.25 years. In the three and six months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recognized $1.6 million and $3.1 million, respectively, in non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount.  In the three and six months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recognized $1.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively, in non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount.  The Company recognized $6.1 million and $12.2 million of interest expense related to the 2.125% coupon on the debentures in the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
The debentures also include certain embedded features related to the contingent interest payments, the Company making specific types of distributions (e.g., extraordinary dividends), the redemption feature in the event of changes in tax law, and penalty interest in the event of a failure to maintain an effective registration. These features qualify as derivatives and are bundled as a compound embedded derivative that is measured at fair value.  The fair value of the derivative as of September 30, 2009 was $0.6 million, compared to the value at March 31, 2009 of $0.5 million, resulting in an increase of interest expense in the first six months of fiscal 2010 of $0.1 million.  The balance of the debentures on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2009 of $337.4 million includes the fair value of the embedded derivative.

Mirant Americas Generation Senior Notes

The senior notes are senior unsecured obligations of Mirant Americas Generation having no recourse to any subsidiary or affiliate of Mirant Americas Generation.

Mirant North America Senior Secured Credit Facilities

Mirant North America, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mirant Americas Generation, entered into senior secured credit facilities in January 2006, which are comprised of a senior secured term loan, due January 2013, and a senior secured revolving credit facility, due January 2012. The senior secured term loan had an initial principal balance of $700 million, which has amortized to $374 million as of September 30, 2009. At the closing, $200 million drawn under the senior secured term loan was deposited into a cash collateral account to support the issuance of up to $200 million of letters of credit. During 2008, Mirant North America transferred to the senior secured revolving credit facility approximately $78 million of letters of credit previously supported by the cash collateral account and withdrew approximately $78 million from the cash collateral account, thereby reducing the cash collateral account to approximately $122 million. At September 30, 2009, the cash collateral balance was approximately $124 million as a result of interest earned on the invested cash balances. At September 30, 2009, there were approximately $106 million of letters of credit outstanding under the senior secured revolving credit facility and $124 million of letters of credit outstanding under the senior secured term loan cash collateral account. At September 30, 2009, $649 million was available under the senior secured revolving credit facility and $0.1 million was available under the senior secured term loan for cash draws or for the issuance of letters of credit. Although the senior secured revolving credit facility has lender commitments of $800 million, availability thereunder reflects a $45 million reduction as a result of the expectation that Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc., which filed for bankruptcy in October 2008, will not honor its $45 million commitment under the facility. In addition, CIT Capital USA Inc. (“CIT Capital”) has outstanding a $50 million commitment under the Mirant North America senior secured revolving credit facility. CIT Capital is a subsidiary of the CIT Group Inc. (“CIT”) which, together with CIT Group Funding Company of Delaware LLC, filed voluntary petitions for bankruptcy on November 1, 2009, pursuant to an announced prepackaged plan of reorganization. None of the operating subsidiaries of CIT, including CIT Capital, was included in the bankruptcy filings and CIT has said that it expects all of its operating entities to continue operations during the pendency of the bankruptcy cases. If, however, CIT Capital were unable to honor its $50 million commitment under the Mirant North America senior secured revolving credit facility, the amount available under the credit facilities would be reduced by a corresponding amount.

In addition to quarterly principal installments, which are currently $1.2 million, Mirant North America is required to make annual principal prepayments under the senior secured term loan equal to a specified percentage of its excess free cash flow, which is based on adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures and as further defined in the loan agreement. On March 19, 2009, Mirant North America made a mandatory principal prepayment of approximately $37 million on the term loan. At September 30, 2009, the current estimate of the mandatory principal prepayment of the term loan in March 2010 is approximately $32 million. This amount has been reclassified from long-term debt to current portion of long-term debt at September 30, 2009.

The senior secured credit facilities are senior secured obligations of Mirant North America. In addition, certain subsidiaries of Mirant North America (not including Mirant Mid-Atlantic or Mirant Energy Trading) have jointly and severally guaranteed, as senior secured obligations, the senior secured credit facilities. The senior secured credit facilities have no recourse to any other Mirant entities.

Mirant North America Senior Notes

The senior notes due in 2013 are senior unsecured obligations of Mirant North America. In addition, certain subsidiaries of Mirant North America (not including Mirant Mid-Atlantic or Mirant Energy Trading) have jointly and severally guaranteed, as senior unsecured obligations, the senior notes. The Mirant North America senior notes have no recourse to any other Mirant entities, including Mirant Americas Generation.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, the Company issued notes with a principal amount of approximately $36 billion. The amount included non-U.S. dollar currency notes aggregating approximately $4.4 billion. These notes include the public issuance of $8.5 billion of senior unsecured notes that were not guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). During the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, approximately $29 billion of notes were repaid.

 

The weighted average maturity of the Company’s long-term borrowings, based upon stated maturity dates, was approximately 5.7 years and 6.3 years as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

A subsidiary of the Company has loans outstanding of approximately $2.5 billion under third-party financing related to Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited Partnership (“Crescent”), a real estate subsidiary of the Company. These loans are non-recourse and are secured only by Crescent’s assets. Approximately $2.0 billion of the third-party financing is with a single lender (the “Lender”) to whom the Company has provided credit support with respect to limited exceptions to the non-recourse provisions for the maximum amount of $125 million. Such Lender financing, which was originally scheduled to mature on August 3, 2009, was extended to November 2, 2009, and has been further extended until November 9, 2009. Negotiations continue with the Lender and various options are being pursued, including conveying Crescent’s assets in satisfaction of the loan or seeking a negotiated or non-negotiated reorganization of the Crescent entities under insolvency laws. The Company cannot provide assurance that the Lender will further extend the maturity of the financing or that the loan will not eventually go into default.

FDIC Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (“TLGP”).

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had long-term debt outstanding of $23.8 billion under the TLGP. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had commercial paper and long-term debt outstanding of $6.4 billion and $9.8 billion, respectively, under the TLGP. These borrowings are senior unsecured debt obligations of the Company and guaranteed by the FDIC under the TLGP. The FDIC has concluded that the guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

7.  Long-term Debt

  

In the first nine months of 2009, NS repaid $200 million under its accounts receivable securitization facility.  At September 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, the amounts outstanding under the facility were $100 million (at an average variable interest rate of 1.47%) and $300 million (at an average variable interest rate of 3.01%), respectively.  In October 2009, NS renewed and amended its accounts receivable securitization facility, with a new 364-day term to run until October 2010.  NS reduced the total amount that can be borrowed from $500 million to $350 million to more closely match its liquidity requirements and receivables profile.

  

During the second quarter of 2009, NS issued $500 million of unsecured notes at 5.90% due 2019 pursuant to its automatic shelf registration statement described below.  The net proceeds from the offering were $496 million after deducting the purchase discount and expenses.  NS also issued a total of $75 million in non-interest bearing notes payable with maturity dates beginning in 2010 and ending in 2012 as part of its total investment in Pan Am Southern LLC.

  

During the first quarter of 2009, NS issued $500 million of unsecured notes at 5.75% due 2016 in a private offering.  The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $494 million after deducting the purchase discount and expenses.  During the third quarter of 2009, NS offered to exchange these unregistered securities with essentially identical securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

  

NS has authority from its Board of Directors to issue an additional $500 million of debt or equity securities through public or private sale.  During the first quarter of 2009, NS filed a Form S-3 automatic shelf registration statement for well-known seasoned issuers under which, as of September 30, 2009, up to $500 million could be issued under this authority.

Note 8 — Long-Term Debt
2019 Senior Notes
     On June 5, 2009, NRG issued $700 million aggregate principal amount of 8.5% Senior Notes due 2019, or 2019 Senior Notes, at a discount resulting in a yield of 8.75%. The 2019 Senior Notes were issued under an Indenture, dated February 2, 2006, between NRG and Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, as trustee, as amended through Supplemental Indentures, which is discussed in Note 11, Debt and Capital Leases, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The Indentures and the form of the notes provide, among other things, that the 2019 Senior Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of NRG.
     A portion of the net proceeds of $678 million were used to facilitate the early termination of NRG’s obligations pursuant to the CSRA Amendment, which became effective on October 5, 2009, as discussed in Note 20, Subsequent Event, to this Form 10-Q. Interest is payable semi-annually on the 2019 Senior Notes beginning on December 15, 2009, until their maturity date of June 15, 2019. As of September 30, 2009, $700 million in principal was outstanding under the 2019 Senior Notes.
     Prior to June 15, 2012, NRG may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Senior Notes with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings, at a redemption price of 108.5% of the principal amount. Prior to June 15, 2014, NRG may redeem all or a portion of the 2019 Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a premium and accrued and unpaid interest. The premium is the greater of (i) 1% of the principal amount of the note; or (ii) the excess of the principal amount of the note over the following: the present value of 104.25% of the note, plus interest payments due on the note from the date of redemption through June 15, 2014, discounted at a Treasury rate plus 0.50%. In addition, on or after June 15, 2014, NRG may redeem some or all of the notes at redemption prices expressed as percentages of principal amount as set forth in the following table, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes redeemed to the first applicable redemption date:
         
    Redemption
Redemption Period   Percentage
 
June 15, 2014 to June 14, 2015
    104.25 %
June 15, 2015 to June 14, 2016
    102.83 %
June 15, 2016 to June 14, 2017
    101.42 %
June 15, 2017 and thereafter
    100.00 %
 
Interest Rate Swaps
     In May 2009, NRG entered into a series of forward-starting interest rate swaps. These interest rate swaps become effective on April 1, 2011, and are intended to hedge the risks associated with floating interest rates. For each of the interest rate swaps, the Company will pay its counterparty the equivalent of a fixed interest payment on a predetermined notional value, and NRG receives the monthly equivalent of a floating interest payment based on a 1-month LIBOR calculated on the same notional value. All interest rate swap payments by NRG and its counterparties are made monthly and the LIBOR is determined in advance of each interest period. The total notional amount of these swaps is $900 million. The swaps mature on February 1, 2013.
Reliant Energy Acquisition
     See discussion in Note 4, Business Acquisition, to this Form 10-Q, regarding the CSRA entered into as a result of the acquisition of Reliant Energy on May 1, 2009. Further, see discussion in Note 4, Business Acquisition, to this Form 10-Q, regarding the $50 million working capital facility entered into on May 1, 2009. Under the working capital facility, the Company borrowed $25 million on May 1, 2009. On October 5, 2009, $25 million was repaid on the working capital facility, which was terminated in conjunction with the amendment of the CSRA as discussed in Note 20, Subsequent Event, to this Form 10-Q.
Senior Credit Facility
     In March 2009, NRG made a repayment of approximately $197 million to its first lien lenders under the Term Loan Facility. This payment resulted from the mandatory annual offer of a portion of NRG’s excess cash flow (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) for the prior year.
TANE Facility
     On February 24, 2009, Nuclear Innovation North America LLC, or NINA, executed an Engineering, Procurement and Construction, or EPC, agreement with Toshiba American Nuclear Energy Corporation, or TANE, which specifies the terms under which STP Units 3 and 4 will be constructed. Concurrent with the execution of the EPC agreement, NINA and TANE entered into a credit facility, or the TANE Facility, wherein TANE has committed up to $500 million to finance purchases of long-lead materials and equipment for the construction of STP Units 3 and 4. The TANE Facility matures on February 24, 2012, subject to two renewal periods, and provides for customary events of default, which include, among others: nonpayment of principal or interest; default under other indebtedness; the rendering of judgments; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. Outstanding borrowings will accrue interest at LIBOR plus 3%, subject to a ratings grid, and are secured by substantially all of the assets of and membership interests in NINA and its subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2009, no amounts have been borrowed under the TANE Facility.
Debt Related to Capital Allocation Program
     Share Lending Agreements — On February 20, 2009, CSF I and CSF II, wholly-owned unrestricted subsidiaries of the Company, entered into Share Lending Agreements with affiliates of CS relating to the shares of NRG common stock currently held by CSF I and II in connection with the CSF Debt originally entered into during the third quarter 2006, by and between CSF I and II and affiliates of CS. The Company entered into Share Lending Agreements due to a lack of liquidity in the stock borrow market for NRG shares and in order to maintain the intended economic benefits of the CSF Debt agreements. As of September 30, 2009, CSF I and II have lent affiliates of CS 12,000,000 shares of the 21,970,903 shares of NRG common stock held by CSF I and II. The Share Lending Agreements permit affiliates of CS to borrow up to the total number of shares of NRG common stock held by CSF I and II.
     Shares borrowed by affiliates of CS under the Share Lending Agreements will be used to replace shares borrowed by affiliates of CS from third parties in connection with CS hedging activities related to the financing agreements.
     The shares are expected to be returned upon the termination of the financing agreements. Until the shares are returned, the shares will be treated as outstanding for corporate law purposes, and accordingly, the holders of the borrowed shares will have all of the rights of a holder of the Company’s outstanding shares, including the right to vote the shares on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. However, because the CS affiliates must return all borrowed shares (or identical shares), the borrowed shares are not considered outstanding for the purpose of computing and reporting the Company’s basic or diluted earnings per share.
     Adoption of FSP APB 14-1 — As discussed in Note 1, Basis of Presentation, to this Form 10-Q, the Company adopted FSP APB 14-1 on January 1, 2009, which has been incorporated in ASC 470 and ASC 825. The following table summarizes certain information related to the CSF Debt in accordance with ASC 470.

     The unamortized discount will be amortized through the maturity of the CSF Debt. The CSF I Debt has a maturity date of June 2010 and the CSF II Debt has a maturity date of October 2009. Interest expense for the CSF Debt, including the debt discount amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, was $10 million and $28 million, respectively. Interest expense for the CSF Debt, including the debt discount amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, was $9 million and $28 million, respectively. The effective interest rate as of September 30, 2009, was 11.4% for the CSF I Debt and 12.1% for the CSF II Debt.
     Subsequent Event — On October 9, 2009, NRG commenced the process of unwinding the CSF II Debt, making a $181.4 million capital contribution to a CSF II cash account, effectively restricting the cash for the benefit of CS. On October 13, 2009, CS began the process of unwinding their hedges in connection with the CSF II structure, which they are required to complete by November 24, 2009. Once complete, CS is scheduled to return 5,400,000 shares of NRG common stock borrowed under the Share Lending Agreements, and release 9,528,930 common shares held as collateral for the CSF II Debt, and the Company will remit payment to CS of the $181.4 million outstanding principal and interest.
     The CSF II Debt contains an embedded derivative feature, or CFS II CAGR, which requires NRG to pay CS at maturity, either in cash or stock at NRG’s option, the excess of NRG’s then current stock price over a Threshold Price of $40.80 per share. On November 24, 2009, the CSF II CAGR will also be evaluated to determine whether any payment is due to CS, at which point the CSF II CAGR will expire.
     Dunkirk Power LLC Tax-Exempt Bonds — On April 15, 2009, NRG executed a $59 million tax-exempt bond financing through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dunkirk Power LLC. The bonds were issued by the County of Chautauqua Industrial Development Agency and will be used for construction of emission control equipment on the Dunkirk Generating Station in Dunkirk, NY. The bonds initially bear weekly interest based on the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, or SIFMA, rate, have a maturity date of April 1, 2042, and are enhanced by a letter of credit under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility covering amounts drawn on the facility. The proceeds received through September 30, 2009, were $38 million with the remaining balance being released over time as construction costs are paid.
     GenConn Energy LLC related financings — On April 27, 2009, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NRG closed on an equity bridge loan facility, or EBL, in the amount of $121.5 million from a syndicate of banks. The purpose of the EBL is to fund the Company’s proportionate share of the project construction costs required to be contributed into GenConn Energy LLC, or GenConn, a 50% equity method investment of the Company. The EBL, which is fully collateralized with a letter of credit issued under the Company’s Synthetic Letter of Credit Facility covering amounts drawn on the facility, will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2% on drawn amounts. The EBL will mature on the earlier of the commercial operations date of the Middletown project or July 26, 2011. The EBL also requires mandatory prepayment of the portion of the loan utilized to pay costs of the Devon project, of approximately $56 million, on the earlier of Devon’s commercial operations date or January 27, 2011. The proceeds of the EBL received through September 30, 2009, were $88 million and the remaining amounts will be drawn as necessary to fund construction costs.
     In April 2009, GenConn secured financing for 50% of the Devon and Middletown project construction costs through a 7-year term loan facility, and also entered into a 5-year revolving working capital loan and letter of credit facility, which collectively with the term loan is referred to as the GenConn Facility. The aggregate credit amount secured under the GenConn Facility, which is non-recourse to NRG, is $291 million, including $48 million for the revolving facility. In August 2009, GenConn began to draw under the GenConn Facility to cover costs related to the Devon project and as of September 30, 2009, has drawn $19 million.

Term loan and Revolver
 
On October 2, 2006, we entered into a $465.0 million credit agreement (the credit agreement) with a Canadian chartered bank (the bank) consisting of a $390.0 million term loan facility (the term loan) and a $75.0 million committed revolving long-term credit facility (the revolver). The term loan was used to finance a portion of our Hummingbird acquisition. We have not made any withdrawals under the revolver from the inception date to current date. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009 we incurred approximately $1.0 million of debt issuance costs relating to certain covenant related amendments to the credit agreement that do not impact the payments, outstanding amount or the interest rates under the credit agreement (a copy of the amended credit agreement has been filed by us under a Form 8-K during September 2009).
 
Term loan
 
The term loan has a seven year term, expires on October 2, 2013 and bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 2.25%. The quarterly scheduled term loan principal repayments are equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount, due each quarter with the remainder due at the end of the term, less ratable reductions for any non-scheduled prepayments made. From October 2, 2006 (the inception of the loan) to September 30, 2009, we have made total non-scheduled prepayments of $90.0 million towards the principal on the term loan. Our current quarterly scheduled principal payment is approximately $0.7 million.
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded interest expense of $1.8 million (three months ended September 30, 2008-$3.5 million) relating to the term loan.
 
Revolver
 
The revolver has a five year term and expires on October 2, 2011. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at rates specified in the credit agreement. The revolver is subject to a “stand-by” fee ranging between 0.30% and 0.50% per annum depending on our consolidated leverage ratio. There were no borrowings outstanding under the revolver as of September 30, 2009.
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded an expense of $0.06 million (three months ended September 30, 2008 – $0.06 million), on account of stand-by fees relating to the revolver.
 
Mortgage
 
The mortgage consists of a five year mortgage agreement entered into during December 2005 with the bank. The original principal amount of the mortgage was Canadian $15.0 million. The mortgage: (i) has a fixed term of five years, (ii) matures on January 1, 2011, and (iii) is secured by a lien on our headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario. Interest accrues monthly at a fixed rate of 5.25% per annum. Principal and interest are payable in monthly installments of Canadian $0.1 million with a final lump sum principal payment of Canadian $12.6 million due on maturity.
 
As of September 30, 2009, the carrying value of the building was $15.6 million (June 30, 2009 – $14.7 million).
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded interest expense of $0.2 million (three months ended September 30, 2008 – $0.2 million), relating to the mortgage.

The Senior Credit Agreement provides for a $1.5 billion facility with a borrowing base of $1.1 billion that will be redetermined on a semi-annual basis, with the Company and the Lenders each having the right to one annual interim unscheduled redetermination, and adjusted based on the Company’s oil and natural gas properties, reserves, other indebtedness and other relevant factors. The Company’s borrowing base is subject to a reduction equal to the product of $0.25 multiplied by the stated principal amount (without regard to any initial issue discount) of any notes that the Company may issue. On January 27, 2009, the Company completed a private placement offering to eligible purchasers of an aggregate principal amount of $600 million 10.5% senior notes due August 1, 2014. In conjunction with the closing of this offering, the Company’s borrowing base was reduced to $950 million.

Amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Agreement will bear interest at specified margins over the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) of 1.25% to 2.00% for Eurodollar loans or at specified margins over the Alternate Base Rate (ABR) of 0.00% to 0.50% for ABR loans. Such margins will fluctuate based on the utilization of the facility. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Agreement may be secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the Company’s assets, including pursuant to the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, substantially all of the assets of, and all equity interests in, the Company’s subsidiaries. Amounts drawn down on the facility will mature on July 1, 2013.

The Senior Credit Agreement contains financial and other covenants, including minimum working capital levels (the ratio of current assets plus the unused commitment under the Senior Credit Agreement to current liabilities) of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 and minimum coverage of interest expenses of not less than 2.5 to 1.0. In addition, the Company is subject to covenants limiting dividends and other restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, incurrence of debt, changes of control, asset sales, and liens on properties. At September 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants under the Senior Credit Agreement.

On October 14, 2009, the Company entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Senior Revolving Credit Agreement (the Fourth Amendment), which amends and restates its Senior Credit Agreement. The Fourth Amendment is a $2.0 billion facility with a borrowing base of $1.5 billion, $1.2 billion of which relates to the Company’s oil and natural gas properties and up to $300 million (currently limited as described below) of which relates to the Company’s midstream assets. The portion of the borrowing base which relates to the Company’s oil and natural gas properties will be redetermined on a semi-annual basis (with the Company and the Lenders each having the right to one annual interim unscheduled redetermination) and adjusted based on the Company’s oil and natural gas properties, reserves, other indebtedness and other relevant factors. The component of the borrowing base related to the Company’s midstream assets is limited to the lesser of $300 million or 3.5 times midstream EBITDA, and is determined quarterly. The initial available borrowing base aggregates $1.38 billion as the midstream component is currently $182 million. Amounts outstanding under the Fourth Amendment will bear interest at specified margins over LIBOR of 2.25% to 3.25% for Eurodollar loans or at specified margins over the ABR of 0.75% to 1.75% for ABR loans. Such margins will fluctuate based on the utilization of the facility. Borrowings under the Fourth Amendment will be secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the Company’s assets, including pursuant to the terms of the Fourth Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, all of the assets of, and equity interests in, the Company’s subsidiaries. Amounts drawn down on the facility will mature on July 1, 2013. On October 30, 2009, in conjunction with the closing of the sale of the Company’s Permian Basin properties, the oil and natural gas properties portion of the borrowing base under the Fourth Amendment was reduced by $200 million to $1 billion, resulting in a new aggregate borrowing base of $1.18 billion, including the Company’s midstream assets allocation. Please refer to Note 12, Subsequent Events, for further information.

NOTE F.    Long-term Debt

Lines of credit. During April 2007, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated 5-Year Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Facility”) that matures in April 2012, unless extended in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility provides for initial aggregate loan commitments of $1.5 billion, which may be increased to a maximum aggregate amount of $2.0 billion if the lenders increase their loan commitments or if loan commitments of new financial institutions are added. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had $730.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and $46.0 million of undrawn letters of credit, all of which were commitments under the Credit Facility, leaving the Company with $724.0 million of unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility.

 

Effective April 29, 2009, the Company and the lenders under the Company’s Credit Facility amended the Credit Facility to provide the Company additional financial flexibility. The Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants, one of which required the Company to maintain a ratio of the net present value of the Company’s oil and gas properties to total debt of at least 1.75 to 1.0 until the Company achieves an investment grade rating by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, Inc. The amendment changed that ratio to 1.5 to 1.0 through the period ending March 31, 2011, after which time the ratio would revert to 1.75 to 1.0, and provides that the Company may include in the calculation of the present value of its oil and gas properties 75 percent of the market value of its ownership of limited partner units of Pioneer Southwest. The covenant requiring the Company to maintain a ratio of total debt to total capitalization of no more than 0.60 to 1.0 was not changed.

The amendment also adjusted certain borrowing rates and commitment fees, and changed certain provisions relating to the consequences if a lender under the Credit Facility defaults in its obligations under the agreement. After taking into account the amendment, revolving loans under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the option of the Company, based on (a) a rate per annum equal to the higher of the prime rate announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank or the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System during the last preceding business day plus .5 percent plus a defined alternate base rate spread margin (“ABR Margin”), which is currently one percent based on the Company’s debt rating or (b) a base Eurodollar rate, substantially equal to LIBOR, plus a margin (the “Applicable Margin”), which is currently two percent and is also determined by the Company’s debt rating. Swing line loans under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the “ASK” rate for Federal funds periodically published by the Dow Jones Market Service plus the Applicable Margin. Letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility are subject to a per annum fee, representing the Applicable Margin plus .125 percent. The Company also pays commitment fees on undrawn amounts under the Credit Facility that are determined by the Company’s debt rating (currently 0.375 percent).

On August 31, 2009, Pioneer Southwest borrowed $138.0 million under its $300 million credit facility (the “Pioneer Southwest Credit Facility”) that matures during 2013 to fund a portion of the purchase consideration of oil and gas properties acquired from Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. (“Pioneer USA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, for $169.6 million, including estimated customary closing adjustments, and assumed net obligations associated with certain commodity price derivative positions and certain other liabilities that were assigned by Pioneer USA to Pioneer Southwest. The Pioneer Southwest Credit Facility is available for general partnership purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures and distributions.

Borrowings under the Pioneer Southwest Credit Facility may be in the form of Eurodollar rate loans, base rate committed loans or swing line loans. Eurodollar rate loans bear interest annually at LIBOR, plus a margin (the “Applicable Rate”) (currently 0.875 percent) that is determined by a reference grid based on Pioneer Southwest’s consolidated leverage ratio. Base rate committed loans bear interest annually at a base rate equal to the higher of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5 percent or (ii) the Bank of America prime rate (the “Base Rate”) plus a margin (currently zero percent). Swing line loans bear interest annually at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. As of September 30, 2009, there were $135.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Pioneer Southwest Credit Facility.

The Pioneer Southwest Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants, including (i) the maintenance of a quarter-end consolidated leverage ratio (representing a ratio of consolidated indebtedness of Pioneer Southwest to consolidated earnings before depreciation, depletion and amortization; impairment of long-lived assets; exploration expense; accretion of discount on asset retirement obligations; interest expense; income taxes; gain or loss on the disposition of assets; noncash commodity hedge related activity; and noncash equity-based compensation, (“EBITDAX”) of not more than 3.5 to 1.0, (ii) an interest coverage ratio (representing a ratio of EBITDAX to interest expense) of not less than 2.5 to 1.0 and (iii) the maintenance of a ratio of the net present value of Pioneer Southwest’s projected future cash flows from its oil and gas assets to total debt of at least 1.75 to 1.0.

Because of the net present value covenant, the remaining available borrowing capacity under the Pioneer Southwest Credit Facility was limited to approximately $140 million as of September 30, 2009. The variables on which the calculation of net present value is based (including assumed commodity prices and discount rate) are subject to adjustment by the lenders. As a result, declines in commodity prices could reduce Pioneer Southwest’s borrowing capacity under the Pioneer Southwest Credit Facility. In addition, the Pioneer Southwest Credit Facility contains various covenants that limit, among other things, Pioneer Southwest’s ability to grant liens, incur additional indebtedness, engage in a merger, enter into transactions with affiliates, pay distributions or repurchase equity, and sell its assets. If any default or event of default (as defined in the Pioneer Southwest Credit Facility) were to occur, the Pioneer Southwest Credit Facility would prohibit Pioneer Southwest from making distributions to unitholders. Such events of default include, among others, nonpayment of principal or interest, violations of covenants, bankruptcy and material judgments and liabilities.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company and Pioneer Southwest were in compliance with all of their debt covenants.

Senior convertible notes. During January 2008, the Company issued $500 million principal amount of 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes, of which $480.0 million remains outstanding at September 30, 2009. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 470 (formerly FSP APB 14-1) and, in accordance therewith, the Company applied the provisions of ASC 470 on a retrospective basis. The initial adoption of ASC 470 decreased the carrying value of the 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes by $63.5 million, increased stockholders’ equity by $39.5 million and increased deferred tax liabilities by $24.0 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the adoption of ASC 470 had the effect of adding $3.6 million and $10.7 million to the Company’s reported interest expense, respectively, and approximately $2.3 million ($.02 per diluted share) and $6.7 million ($.06 per diluted share) to the Company’s respective net losses.

11. Long-term Debt

On September 15, 2009, we repaid the 8.55% notes with a $150 million face value. The repayment of these notes was funded through cash generated from operations and issuance of commercial paper. The notes were reported in current portion of long-term debt at December 31, 2008.

On June 29, 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap for an aggregate notional amount of $100 million to effectively convert our interest payments on a portion of the $400 million, 4.625% fixed rate notes due in 2012, into variable interest rates. The variable rates payable are based on one month LIBOR plus 249 basis points. In July 2009, we entered into three additional interest rate swaps for an aggregate notional amount of $300 million to effectively convert our interest payments on the remainder of the $400 million, 4.625% fixed rate notes due in 2012, into variable interest rates. The variable rates payable are based on one month LIBOR plus 248 basis points for $100 million notional amount and one month LIBOR plus 250 basis points for $200 million notional amount.

On March 2, 2009, we issued $300 million of 10-year fixed-rate notes with a coupon rate of 6.25%. The interest is paid semi-annually beginning September 15, 2009. The notes mature on March 15, 2019. We simultaneously unwound four forward starting swap agreements (forward swaps) used to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the forecasted issuance of the fixed-rate debt. The unwind of the derivatives resulted in a loss (and cash payment) of $20.3 million which was recorded to other comprehensive income, net of tax, and will be amortized to net interest expense over the 10-year term of the notes. The proceeds from these notes were used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of commercial paper.

On March 4, 2008, we issued $250 million of 10-year fixed-rate notes with a coupon rate of 5.60%. The interest is paid semi-annually beginning September 15, 2008. The notes mature on March 15, 2018. We simultaneously entered into two interest rate swaps for a total notional amount of $250 million to convert the fixed-rate notes to a floating rate obligation bearing interest at 6 month LIBOR plus 111.5 basis points. The proceeds from these notes were used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of commercial paper and repurchase of our stock.

   $ 2,493,583     $ 2,805,000 
             

On March 13, 2009, we entered into an amendment to our senior revolving credit facility. The amendment reduced the borrowing base and commitments from $2.7 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively, to $1.5 billion. This reduction gives consideration to our derivative monetization (See Note 3 – Derivative Instruments). Our borrowing base and commitments were then reduced to $1.34 billion in recognition of our issuances of $565 million of 10% Senior Notes due 2016, in March and April 2009 (“10% Senior Notes”), and further reduced to $1.22 billion in recognition of our issuance of $400 million of 8 5/8% Senior Notes due 2019, in September 2009 (“8 5/8% Senior Notes”). During 2009, we have recognized $12.1 million of debt extinguishment costs in connection with the reductions in our borrowing base and commitments.

In addition, the amendment increased the cost of borrowings under our senior revolving credit facility. Amounts borrowed under our senior revolving credit facility bear an interest rate, at our election, equal to either: (i) the Eurodollar rate, which is based on LIBOR, plus an additional variable amount ranging from 2.00% to 2.75%; (ii) the greater of (1) the prime rate, as determined by JPMorgan Chase Bank, (2) the federal funds rate, plus  1/2 of 1%, and (3) the adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1%; or (iii) the over-night federal funds rate plus an additional variable amount ranging from 2.00% to 2.75% for swingline loans. The additional variable amount of interest payable on outstanding borrowings is based on (1) the utilization rate as a percentage of the total amount of funds borrowed under our senior revolving credit facility to the conforming borrowing base, and (2) our long-term debt ratings. Letter of credit fees under our senior revolving credit facility are based on the utilization rate and our long-term debt rating and range from 2.0% to 2.75%. Commitment fees are 0.50% of the amount available for borrowing.

Our senior revolving credit facility is secured by 100% of the shares of stock in certain of our domestic and 65% of the shares of stock in certain foreign subsidiaries and mortgages covering at least 75% of the total present value of our domestic oil and gas properties. Our senior revolving credit facility, as amended, contains negative covenants that limit our ability, as well as the ability of our restricted subsidiaries, among other things, to incur additional debt, pay dividends on stock, make distributions of cash or property, change the nature of our business or operations, redeem stock or redeem subordinated debt, make investments, create liens, enter into leases, sell assets, sell capital stock of subsidiaries, guarantee other indebtedness, enter into agreements that restrict dividends from subsidiaries, enter into certain types of swap agreements, enter into take-or-pay or other prepayment arrangements, merge or consolidate and enter into transactions with affiliates. In addition, we are required to maintain a ratio of debt to EBITDAX (as defined) of no greater than 4.25 to 1.

As of September 30, 2009, we had $1.3 million in letters of credit outstanding and approximately $1.14 billion available for future secured borrowings under our senior revolving credit facility.

In March 2009, we issued $365 million of 10% Senior Notes due 2016, which were sold to the public at 92.373% of the face value to yield 11.625% to maturity. In April 2009, an additional $200 million of 10% Senior Notes due 2016 were sold to the public at 92.969% of the face value, plus interest accrued from March 6, 2009, to yield 11.5% to maturity. The 10% Senior Notes were issued under one indenture. We received approximately $330 million and $181 million of net proceeds, respectively, after deducting the underwriting discounts, original issue discount and offering expenses. We used the net proceeds to reduce indebtedness outstanding under our senior revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures. We may redeem all or part of the 10% Senior Notes on or after March 1, 2013 at specified redemption prices and prior to such date at a “make-whole” redemption price. In addition, prior to March 1, 2012 we may, at our option, redeem up to 35% of the 10% Senior Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings. In the event of a change of control, as defined in the indenture, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase the 10% Senior Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

 

In September 2009, we issued $400 million of 8 5/8% Senior Notes due 2019. The notes were sold to the public at 98.335% of the face value to yield 8.875% to maturity. We received approximately $386 million of net proceeds after deducting the underwriting discount, original issue discount and offering expenses. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including to fund a portion of the remaining drilling carry under our agreement with Chesapeake Energy Corporation (See Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies). We may redeem all or part of the 8 5/8% Senior Notes on or after October 15, 2014 at specified redemption prices and prior to such date at a “make-whole” redemption price. In addition, prior to October 15, 2012 we may, at our option, redeem up to 35% of the 8 5/8% Senior Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings. In the event of a change of control, as defined in the indenture, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase the 8 5/8 % Senior Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

The 10% Senior Notes and 8 5/8% Senior Notes are general unsecured senior obligations. They are jointly and severally guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis by certain of our existing domestic subsidiaries. In the future, the guarantees may be released or terminated under certain circumstances. These Senior Notes rank senior in right of payment to all of our existing and future subordinated indebtedness; pari passu in right of payment with any of our existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not by its terms subordinated to the 10% Senior Notes and 8 5/8% Senior Notes; effectively junior to our existing and future secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under our senior revolving credit facility, to the extent of our assets constituting collateral securing that indebtedness; and effectively subordinate to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities (other than indebtedness and liabilities owed to us) of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

On May 18, 2009, we issued $750.0 million of senior notes. We issued a $400.0 million series of notes that bear interest at 7.875% and will mature on May 15, 2014, and a $350.0 million series of notes that bear interest at 8.875% and will mature on May 15, 2019. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 each year, beginning on November 15, 2009. The proceeds were primarily used to refinance $440.9 million of notes that matured on August 15, 2009, with the remaining proceeds being used for general corporate purposes.

55 Questar Corporation Note 9 - Financings In August 2009, Market Resources issued $300.0 million of notes due March 2020 with a 6.82% effective interest rate and used the net proceeds to reduce the balance outstanding under its long-term revolving-credit facility. In September 2009, Questar Pipeline issued $50.0 million of notes due February 2018 with a 5.40% effective interest rate and used the net proceeds to repay $42.0 million of long-term notes that matured in October 2009.
56 ROWAN COMPANIES INC
On July 21, 2009, Rowan issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Senior Notes”), in an SEC registered offering at a price to the public of 99.341% of the principal amount.  After deduction for underwriters’ discount and offering expenses, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $492 million from the sale of these notes, and the Company expects to use those net proceeds for general corporate purposes.  The Senior Notes will mature on August 1, 2019.  Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning February 1, 2010, to the holders of record on the immediately preceding January 15 or July 15, respectively.
 
The Senior Notes are general unsecured, senior obligations. Accordingly, they rank:
 
• senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s subordinated indebtedness, if any;
 
pari passu in right of payment with any of the Company’s existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not by its terms subordinated to the Senior Notes, including any indebtedness under the Company’s senior revolving credit facility (other than letter of credit reimbursement obligations that are secured by cash deposits);
 
• effectively junior to the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness (including indebtedness under its secured notes issued pursuant to the MARAD Title XI program to finance several offshore drilling rigs), in each case, to the extent of the value of the Company’s assets constituting collateral securing that indebtedness; and
 
• effectively junior to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries (other than indebtedness and liabilities owed to the Company).
 
The Company may, at its option, redeem any or all of the Senior Notes at any time for an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.  The Company may purchase Senior Notes in the open market, or otherwise, at any time without restriction under the indenture.  The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Senior Notes.
 
The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company to (a) create liens that secure debt, (b) engage in sale and leaseback transactions and (c) merge or consolidate with another company.

On August 4, 2009, Rowan fixed the interest rate for the remainder of the term on $65.7 million of MARAD debt collateralized by the offshore rig, Bob Keller, at an annual rate of 3.525%.  Prior to that time, the interest rate floated based on a short-term commercial paper rate plus 0.15%.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, interest payments, including net amounts from current period settlements of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements (described below), were $8.8 million and $87.9 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, interest payments, net of amounts capitalized, were $9.4 million and $60.2 million, respectively.

Senior Credit Facility. The amount the Company can borrow under its senior secured revolving credit facility (the “senior credit facility”) is limited to a borrowing base, which was $985.4 million at September 30, 2009. The senior credit facility matures on November 21, 2011 and is available to be drawn on subject to limitations based on its terms and certain financial covenants, as fully described below.

The senior credit facility contains various covenants that limit the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to grant certain liens; make certain loans and investments; make distributions; redeem stock; redeem or prepay debt; merge or consolidate with or into a third party; or engage in certain asset dispositions, including a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. Additionally, the senior credit facility limits the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness with certain exceptions, including under the series of senior notes discussed below.

The senior credit facility contains financial covenants, including maintaining agreed levels for the (i) ratio of total funded debt to EBITDAX (as defined in the senior credit facility), which may not exceed 4.5:1.0 calculated using the last four completed fiscal quarters, (ii) ratio of EBITDAX to interest expense plus current maturities of long-term debt, which must be at least 2.5:1.0 calculated using the last four completed fiscal quarters, and (iii) ratio of current assets to current liabilities, which must be at least 1.0:1.0. In the current ratio calculation (as defined in the senior credit facility) any amounts available to be drawn under the senior credit facility are included in current assets, and unrealized assets and liabilities resulting from mark-to-market adjustments on the Company’s derivative contracts are disregarded. As of September 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the senior credit facility.

The obligations under the senior credit facility are guaranteed by certain Company subsidiaries and are secured by first priority liens on all shares of capital stock of each of the Company’s material present and future subsidiaries; all intercompany debt of the Company; and substantially all of the Company’s assets, including proved natural gas and crude oil reserves representing at least 80% of the discounted present value (as defined in the senior credit facility) of proved natural gas and crude oil reserves reviewed in determining the borrowing base for the senior credit facility.

At the Company’s election, interest under the senior credit facility is determined by reference to (a) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin between 2.00% and 3.00% per annum or (b) the ‘base rate,’ which is the higher of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the prime rate published by Bank of America or (iii) the Eurodollar rate (as defined in the senior credit facility) plus 1.00% per annum, plus, in each case under scenario (b), an applicable margin between 1.00% and 2.00% per annum. Interest is payable quarterly for prime rate loans and at the applicable maturity date for LIBOR loans, except that if the interest period for a LIBOR loan is six months, interest is paid at the end of each three-month period. The average annual interest rates paid on amounts outstanding under the senior credit facility were 2.49% and 2.30% for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.

The Company’s borrowing base is redetermined in April and October of each year. With respect to each redetermination, the administrative agent and the lenders under the senior credit facility consider several factors, including the Company’s proved reserves and projected cash requirements, and make assumptions regarding, among other things, natural gas and crude oil prices and production. Accordingly, the Company’s ability to develop its properties and changes in commodity prices impact the borrowing base. The borrowing base remained unchanged at $985.4 million as a result of the October 2009 redetermination. The Company has, at times, incurred additional costs related to the senior credit facility as a result of changes to the borrowing base. During 2009, additional costs of approximately $0.9 million were incurred. These costs have been deferred and are included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2009, the Company had $41.3 million in outstanding letters of credit with no amounts drawn on the senior credit facility.

On October 3, 2008, Lehman Brothers Commodity Services, Inc. (“Lehman Brothers”), a lender under the Company’s senior credit facility, filed for bankruptcy. At the time that its parent, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., declared bankruptcy on September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers elected not to fund its pro rata share, or 0.29%, of borrowings requested by the Company under the senior credit facility. Accordingly, the Company does not anticipate that Lehman Brothers will fund its pro rata share of any future borrowing requests. The Company does not expect this reduced availability of amounts under the senior credit facility to impact its liquidity or business operations.

Other Notes Payable. The Company has financed a portion of its drilling rig fleet and related oil field services equipment through the issuance of notes secured by such equipment. At September 30, 2009, the aggregate outstanding balance of these notes was $21.4 million, with annual fixed interest rates ranging from 7.64% to 8.67%. The notes have a final maturity date of December 1, 2011 and require aggregate monthly installments of principal and interest in the amount of $1.2 million. The notes have a prepayment penalty (currently ranging from 0.50% to 1.00%) that is triggered if the Company repays the notes prior to maturity.

The debt incurred to purchase the downtown Oklahoma City property that serves as the Company’s corporate headquarters is fully secured by a mortgage on one of the buildings and a parking garage located on the property. The note underlying the mortgage bears interest at 6.08% annually and matures on November 15, 2022. Payments of principal and interest in the amount of approximately $0.5 million are due on a quarterly basis through the maturity date. During 2009, the Company expects to make payments of principal and interest on this note totaling $0.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Senior Floating Rate Notes Due 2014 and 8.625% Senior Notes Due 2015. In May 2008, the Company exchanged senior term loans for senior unsecured notes with registration rights which were subsequently exchanged for substantially identical notes pursuant to a registered exchange offer. The effect of the exchange offers resulted in the Company issuing $350.0 million of Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2014 (“Senior Floating Rate Notes”) in exchange for the total outstanding principal amount of its senior floating rate term loan and $650.0 million of 8.625% Senior Notes due 2015 (“8.625% Senior Notes”) in exchange for the total outstanding principal amount of its 8.625% senior term loan. Terms of these senior notes are substantially identical to those of the exchanged senior term loans and the terms of the unregistered notes for which the senior term loans were exchanged. These senior notes are jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis by all of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, except certain minor subsidiaries. See Note 20 for condensed consolidating financial information of the subsidiary guarantors.

The Senior Floating Rate Notes bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.625% (4.22% at September 30, 2009), except for the period from April 1, 2008 to June 30, 2008, for which the interest rate was 6.323%. Interest is payable quarterly with principal due on April 1, 2014. The average interest rates paid on outstanding Senior Floating Rate Notes for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009 were 4.22% and 4.70%, respectively, without consideration of the interest rate swap discussed below. The 8.625% Senior Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.625% per annum with the principal due on April 1, 2015. Under the terms of the 8.625% Senior Notes, interest is payable semi-annually and, through the interest payment due on April 1, 2011, interest may be paid, at the Company’s option, either entirely in cash or entirely with additional fixed rate senior notes. If the Company elects to pay the interest due during any period in additional fixed rate senior notes, the interest rate will increase to 9.375% during that period. All interest payments made to date on the 8.625% Senior Notes have been paid in cash.

In January 2008, the Company entered into a $350.0 million notional interest rate swap agreement to fix the variable LIBOR interest rate on the floating rate senior term loan for the period from April 1, 2008 to April 1, 2011. As a result of the exchange of the floating rate senior term loan to Senior Floating Rate Notes, the interest rate swap is now used to fix the variable LIBOR interest rate on the Senior Floating Rate Notes at an annual rate of 6.26% through April 1, 2011. In May 2009, the Company entered into a $350.0 million notional interest rate swap agreement to fix the variable LIBOR interest rate on the Senior Floating Rate Notes at an annual rate of 6.69% for the period from April 1, 2011 to April 1, 2013. The two interest rate swaps effectively serve to fix the Company’s variable interest rate on its Senior Floating Rate Notes for the majority of the term of these notes. These swaps have not been designated as hedges.

The Company may redeem, at specified redemption prices, some or all of the Senior Floating Rate Notes at any time and some or all of the 8.625% Senior Notes on or after April 1, 2011.

The Company incurred $26.1 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the senior term loans. As the senior term loans were exchanged for unsecured senior notes with substantially identical terms, the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs on the senior term loans are being amortized over the terms of the Senior Floating Rate Notes and the 8.625% Senior Notes. These costs are included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

9.875% Senior Notes Due 2016. In May 2009, the Company completed a private placement of $365.5 million of unsecured 9.875% Senior Notes due 2016 (“9.875% Senior Notes”) to qualified institutional investors eligible under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). These notes were issued at a discount which will be amortized into interest expense over the term of the notes. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $342.1 million after deducting offering expenses of $7.9 million. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering to repay outstanding borrowings under the senior credit facility and for general corporate purposes. The notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 9.875% per annum, payable semi-annually, with the principal due on May 15, 2016. The 9.875% Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, prior to their maturity at specified redemption prices. The notes are jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis by all of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, except certain minor subsidiaries.

In conjunction with the issuance of the 9.875% Senior Notes, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement requiring the Company to register these notes by May 16, 2010 if they are not already freely tradable at that time. The Company expects the notes to become freely tradable 180 days after their issuance pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Company is required to pay additional interest if it fails to fulfill its obligations under the agreement within the specified time periods.

Debt issuance costs of $7.9 million incurred in connection with the offering of the 9.875% Senior Notes are included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are being amortized over the term of the notes.

8.0% Senior Notes Due 2018. In May 2008, the Company issued $750.0 million of unsecured 8.0% Senior Notes due 2018 (“8.0% Senior Notes”). The notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.0% per annum, payable semi-annually, with the principal due on June 1, 2018. The notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, prior to their maturity at specified redemption prices. The 8.0% Senior Notes are jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis, by all of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, except certain minor subsidiaries. The notes are freely tradable.

The Company incurred $16.0 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the offering of the 8.0% Senior Notes. These costs are included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are being amortized over the term of the notes.

The indentures governing all of the senior notes contain financial covenants similar to those of the senior credit facility and include limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, payment of dividends, investments, asset sales, certain asset purchases, transactions with related parties and consolidations or mergers. As of September 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the indentures governing the senior notes.

(1) Includes $113 million in outstanding principal related to a consolidated variable interest entity.

As of September 30, 2009, Sprint Nextel Corporation, the parent corporation, had $6.0 billion in principal of debt outstanding, including the credit facilities. In addition, $14.6 billion in principal of our long-term debt issued by wholly-owned subsidiaries is guaranteed by the parent, of which approximately $9.9 billion issued by our finance subsidiary, Sprint Capital Corporation, is fully and unconditionally guaranteed. The indentures and financing arrangements of certain subsidiaries’ debt contain provisions that limit cash dividend payments on subsidiary common stock. The transfer of cash in the form of advances from the subsidiaries to the parent corporation generally is not restricted. Cash interest payments were $1.1 billion during each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Notes

Notes consist of senior and serial redeemable senior notes that are unsecured. Cash interest on these notes is generally payable semiannually in arrears. Approximately $17.9 billion of the notes are redeemable at the Company’s discretion including accrued interest.

On August 11, 2009, the Company issued $1.3 billion in principal of senior notes due 2017. Interest is payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 at a fixed rate of 8.375%. The Company may redeem some or all of these notes at any time prior to maturity. The notes are unsecured senior obligations and rank equally with the existing unsecured senior indebtedness. If a change of control event (as defined in the Indenture) occurs, Sprint will be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes in cash at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount. On September 16, 2009, all outstanding 5.25% convertible senior notes due 2010 were redeemed at 100% of the principal amount totaling $607 million plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Credit Facilities

As of September 30, 2009, $1.9 billion in letters of credit, including a $1.8 billion letter of credit required by the FCC’s Report and Order to reconfigure the 800 MHz band, were outstanding under our $4.5 billion revolving bank credit facility. As a result, of the $1.0 billion in outstanding borrowings and the outstanding letters of credit, each of which directly impacts the availability under the revolving bank credit facility, the Company had $1.6 billion of borrowing capacity available under this revolving bank credit facility as of September 30, 2009. The terms of this loan provide for an interest rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a spread that varies depending on the Company’s credit ratings. The unsecured loan agreement with Export Development Canada will mature in March 2012 and has terms similar to those of the revolving bank credit facility.

Financing, Capital Lease and Other Obligations

In 2008, we closed a transaction with TowerCo Acquisition LLC under which we sold approximately 3,000 cell sites, and subsequently leased space on those cell sites over a period of ten years with renewal options for an additional 20 years. Due to our continued involvement with the property sold, we accounted for this transaction as a financing. The cell sites continue to be included in property, plant and equipment. Our capital lease and other obligations are primarily for the use of communication switches.

Covenants

As of September 30, 2009, the Company is in compliance with all restrictive and financial covenants associated with its borrowings. The maturity dates of the borrowings may accelerate if we do not comply with these covenants. A default under any of our borrowings could trigger defaults under other debt obligations, which in turn could result in the maturities being accelerated. The indentures that govern our outstanding senior notes also require compliance with various covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness and liens by the Company and its subsidiaries.

We are currently restricted from paying cash dividends by our credit facilities because our ratio of total indebtedness to trailing four quarters earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other non-recurring items, as defined in the credit facility (adjusted EBITDA), exceeds 2.5 to 1.0. The Company also is obligated to repay the credit facilities if certain change-of-control events occur.

60 STATE STREET Corp

Note 7.    Long-Term Debt

In May 2009, we issued $500 million of 4.30% fixed-rate senior unsecured notes that will mature on May 30, 2014, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on May 30 and November 30 of each year, beginning on November 30, 2009. We cannot redeem the notes prior to maturity. We incurred costs of approximately $1.7 million in connection with the issuance, primarily composed of underwriting, legal and SEC registration fees. We completed the issuance primarily in connection with our intention to repurchase the U.S. Treasury’s preferred equity investment received in October 2008 under the TARP Capital Purchase Program.

In March 2009, we issued an aggregate of $1.5 billion of 2.15% fixed-rate senior unsecured notes that mature on April 30, 2012, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on April 30 and October 30 of each year, beginning on April 30, 2009. We have the option to redeem the notes before their maturity if we become obligated to pay certain additional amounts because of changes in the laws or regulations of any U.S. taxing authority. These senior notes are guaranteed by the FDIC under its Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, or TLGP. If we fail to make a timely payment of any principal or interest, the FDIC is obligated to make such payment following required notification. The FDIC’s guarantee will expire upon their redemption or on April 30, 2012. We incurred costs of approximately $5 million in connection with the issuance, primarily composed of underwriting, legal and SEC registration fees. Upon issuance of the senior notes, we paid the FDIC approximately $47.5 million to utilize the guarantee. The aggregate of the FDIC guarantee fee and other issuance costs will be amortized as a reduction of net interest revenue in our consolidated statement of income over the term of the notes.

In March 2009, State Street Bank issued an aggregate of $2.45 billion of fixed- and floating-rate senior notes. $1 billion of 1.85% fixed-rate senior notes mature on March 15, 2011, and interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2009. $1.45 billion of floating-rate senior notes mature on September 15, 2011, and interest is payable quarterly at the three-month LIBOR rate plus 20 basis points on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2009. The interest on the floating-rate senior notes will reset quarterly on each interest payment date each year, beginning on June 15, 2009. State Street Bank has the option to redeem the notes before their maturity if it becomes obligated to pay additional interest because of changes in the laws or regulations of any U.S. taxing authority. These senior notes are guaranteed by the FDIC under its TLGP. If State Street Bank fails to make a timely payment of any principal or interest under the senior notes, the FDIC is obligated to make such payment following required notification. The FDIC’s guarantee will expire upon redemption of the notes or on the notes’ respective maturity. Upon issuance of the senior notes, State Street Bank paid the FDIC approximately $56 million to utilize the guarantee. State Street Bank incurred costs of approximately $5 million in connection with the issuance, primarily composed of underwriting and legal fees. The aggregate of the FDIC guarantee fee and other issuance costs will be amortized as a reduction of net interest revenue in our consolidated statement of income over the term of the notes.

Note 5.  Debt

 

Senior Secured Credit Facility

 

The company’s senior secured credit agreement contains financial covenants and other covenants that limit or restrict the company’s ability to make capital expenditures; incur indebtedness; permit liens on property; enter into transactions with affiliates; make restricted payments or investments; enter into mergers, acquisitions or consolidations; conduct asset sales; pay dividends or distributions and enter into other specified transactions and activities. The company’s ability to borrow funds within the terms of the revolver is dependent upon its continued compliance with its financial covenants, and other covenants contained in the senior secured credit agreement.

 

An amendment to the credit agreement was completed on June 12, 2009.  This amendment made certain adjustments to the covenant structure.  The current financial covenants state that the company must maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 1.25:1.00 for June 30, 2009 to December 31, 2009; 2.00:1.00 for March 31, 2010 to June 30, 2010; and 2.50:1.00 for September 30, 2010 through maturity.  At September 30, 2009 the company’s interest coverage ratio was 1.90. The company must also maintain a first lien debt to consolidated last-twelve-months trailing adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and certain other non-cash transaction adjustments as defined in the credit agreement) ratio of not more than 2.50:1.00 for April 1, 2009 to September 30, 2010; and 3.00:1.00 for December 31, 2010 through maturity.  At September 30, 2009 the company’s first lien debt to consolidated last-twelve-months trailing adjusted EBITDA was 0.39:1.00. In addition, beginning with the twelve month period ending December 31, 2010, and at all times through the maturity date, a total debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA ratio of not more than 5.00:1.00 must be maintained. The company was in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2009, and expects to remain in compliance over the next twelve months.

 

The amendment also activated a monthly borrowing base requirement on the revolving credit facility.  The borrowing base is determined by 85% of eligible accounts receivable and 65% of eligible inventory. The borrowing base exceeded the revolving credit facility’s capacity at September 30, 2009.

 

In addition, if the total debt to EBITDA ratio exceeds 3.50:1.00, then the ability of the company to make restricted payments as defined in the credit agreement (which includes cash dividends to stockholders and share purchases, among other things), is limited to $25 million per quarter.

 

5.125% Convertible Senior Notes

 

In June 2009 the company issued $287.5 million of 5.125% convertible senior notes due 2014.  Note holders can convert the notes into shares of the company’s common stock at an initial conversion rate of 56.9801 per $1,000 principal amount of notes.  The net proceeds from these notes along with the issuance of common stock was slightly more than $675 million and was used to prepay the term A loan as well as repay a portion of the company’s revolving credit facility.

Note 8 – Long-Term Debt and Capital

The Company’s long term debt decreased from $26.8 billion at December 31, 2008 to $18.2 billion at September 30, 2009 primarily as a result of the repayment of $7.1 billion of its FHLB advances, $3.4 billion of which were carried at fair value. The Company also repaid $0.2 billion of its floating rate euro denominated notes that were due in 2011 and repurchased $0.4 billion of its 5.588% Parent Company junior subordinated notes due 2042.

As part of the Company’s participation in the Supervisory Capital Assessment Program (“SCAP”), the Company completed certain transactions as part of an announced capital plan during the second quarter of 2009 that increased its Tier 1 common equity by $2.1 billion. The transactions utilized to raise the capital consisted of the issuance of common stock, the repurchase of certain preferred stock and hybrid debt securities, and the sale of Visa Class B shares.

 

   

The common stock offerings that the Company completed in conjunction with the capital plan added 141.9 million in new common shares and resulted in $1.8 billion in additional Tier 1 common equity, net of issuance costs.

 

   

Also as part of the capital plan, the Company initiated a cash tender offer to repurchase a defined maximum amount of its outstanding Series A preferred stock. 3,142 shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock were repurchased, resulting in a decrease in preferred stock of $314.2 million. An after-tax gain of $89.4 million was included in net loss available to common shareholders and an increase of $91.0 million was realized in Tier 1 common equity during the three month period ended June 30, 2009. In addition, the Company also repurchased approximately $0.4 billion of its 5.588% Parent Company junior subordinated notes due 2042, and approximately $0.1 billion of its 6.10% Parent Company junior subordinated notes due 2036. These transactions resulted in a net after-tax loss of $44.1 million, as a result of a $164.9 million after-tax loss related to the extinguishment of the preferred stock forward sale agreement associated with the repurchase of the 5.588% Parent Company junior subordinated notes, and a $120.8 million after-tax gain from the repurchase of the Parent Company junior subordinated notes. The aggregate impact of the debt repurchases was a $120.8 million increase to Tier 1 common equity.

 

   

Another element of the capital plan involved the sale of the Company’s Visa Class B shares resulting in an after-tax gain and increase in Tier 1 common equity of approximately $70 million.

The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements which involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets.

 $ 768,345 $ 616,206 

Bank indebtedness:  The Company (through its subsidiary) is a party to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. which matures in April 2012. This agreement provides an initial loan commitment of $500.0 million and may be increased to a maximum aggregate amount of $750.0 million at the request of the Company. Each bank has the right, but not the obligation, to increase the amount of its commitment as requested by the Company. In the event the existing banks increase their commitment to an amount less than the requested commitment amount, then it would be necessary to add new financial institutions to the credit facility.

Loans under the credit facility are unsecured and bear interest, at our option, based on (A) a rate per annum equal to the higher of the prime rate or the weighted average fed funds rate on overnight transactions during the preceding business day plus 50 basis points, or (B) a base Eurodollar rate, substantially equal to the LIBOR rate, plus a margin based on a grid of our consolidated leverage ratio (100.0 basis points per annum as of September 30, 2009).

At September 30, 2009, we had $195.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $305.0 million of available borrowing capacity under our credit facility.

The facility has restrictive covenants that include the maintenance of a ratio of consolidated funded debt to EBITDAX (earnings before interest, taxes, DD&A and exploration expense) not to exceed 3½ times; and as long as our debt rating is below investment grade, the maintenance of an annual ratio of the net present value of our oil and gas properties to total funded debt of at least 1.75 to 1.00. At September 30, 2009, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants under our credit facility.

Senior Notes, due 2016 and 2019:  On March 5, 2009, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Ultra Resources, Inc., issued $235.0 million Senior Notes (“the 2009 Senior Notes”) pursuant to a Master Note Purchase Agreement dated March 6, 2008 as supplemented by a First Supplement thereto dated March 5, 2009 between the Company and the purchasers of the 2009 Senior Notes. The 2009 Senior Notes rank pari passu with the Company’s bank credit facility. Payment of the 2009 Senior Notes is guaranteed by Ultra Petroleum Corp. and UP Energy Corporation. Of the 2009 Senior Notes, $173.0 million are 7.77% senior notes due March 1, 2019 and $62.0 million are 7.31% senior notes due March 1, 2016.

Proceeds from the sale of the 2009 Senior Notes were used to repay bank debt, but did not reduce the borrowings available to us under the revolving credit facility.

The 2009 Senior Notes are pre-payable in whole or in part at any time. The 2009 Senior Notes are subject to representations, warranties, covenants and events of default customary for a senior note financing. If payment default occurs, any note holder may accelerate its notes; if a non-payment default occurs, holders of 51% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2009 Senior Notes may accelerate all the 2009 Senior Notes. At September 30, 2009, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants under the 2009 Senior Notes.

Senior Notes, due 2015 and 2018:  On March 6, 2008, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Ultra Resources, Inc. issued $300.0 million Senior Notes (“the 2008 Senior Notes”) pursuant to a Master Note Purchase Agreement between the Company and the purchasers of the Notes. The 2008 Senior Notes rank pari passu with the Company’s bank credit facility. Payment of the 2008 Senior Notes is guaranteed by Ultra Petroleum Corp. and UP Energy Corporation. Of the 2008 Senior Notes, $200.0 million are 5.92% senior notes due March 1, 2018 and $100.0 million are 5.45% senior notes due March 1, 2015.

Proceeds from the sale of the 2008 Senior Notes were used to repay bank debt, but did not reduce the borrowings available to us under the revolving credit facility. The 2008 Senior Notes are pre-payable in whole or in part at any time. The 2008 Senior Notes are subject to representations, warranties, covenants and events of default customary for a senior note financing. If payment default occurs, any note holder may accelerate its notes; if a non-payment default occurs, holders of 51% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2008 Senior Notes may accelerate all the 2008 Senior Notes. At September 30, 2009, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants under the 2008 Senior Notes.

Other long-term obligations:  These costs primarily relate to the long-term portion of production taxes payable, the long-term portion of our incentive compensation plans and our asset retirement obligations.

64 WISCONSIN ENERGY CORP
5 — LONG TERM DEBT
Wisconsin Electric is the obligor under two series of tax-exempt pollution control refunding bonds in outstanding principal amount of $147 million. In August 2009, Wisconsin Electric terminated letters of credit that provided credit and liquidity support for the bonds, which resulted in a mandatory tender of the bonds. Wisconsin Electric purchased the bonds at par plus accrued interest to the date of purchase. Wisconsin Electric issued commercial paper to fund the purchase of the bonds. As of September 30, 2009, the repurchased bonds were still outstanding, but were reported as a reduction in our consolidated long-term debt. Depending on market conditions and other factors, Wisconsin Electric may change the method used to determine the interest rate on the bonds and have them remarketed to third parties.

On March 1, 2009, NSP-Wisconsin redeemed its 7.375 percent $65.0 million first mortgage bonds due Dec. 1, 2026.  In addition to repayment of all principal amounts, NSP-Wisconsin paid accrued interest and a redemption premium totaling approximately $3.0 million.

 

On June 4, 2009, PSCo issued $400 million of 5.125 percent first mortgage bonds, series due 2019.  PSCo added the proceeds from the sale of the first mortgage bonds to its general funds and applied a portion of the net proceeds to fund the payment at maturity of $200 million of 6.875 percent unsecured senior notes due July 15, 2009.

 

In 1999, WYCO was formed as a joint venture with Colorado Interstate Gas Company (CIG) to develop and lease natural gas pipeline, storage, and compression facilities.  Xcel Energy has a 50 percent ownership interest in WYCO.  In June 2009, having achieved certain phases of construction, WYCO’s Totem gas storage facilities (Totem) were placed in service.  WYCO will lease Totem to CIG, and CIG will operate the facilities, providing natural gas storage services to PSCo under a service arrangement that commenced on July 1, 2009.

 

Xcel Energy accounts for PSCo’s service arrangement with CIG as a capital lease in accordance with the authoritative guidance on lease accounting.  As a result, Xcel Energy recorded a $67 million capital lease obligation as of Sept. 30, 2009.  WYCO is expected to incur approximately $20 million of additional construction costs to complete construction and make Totem operational at full storage capacity.

Because we had both the intent and ability to refinance the commercial paper balance outstanding with borrowings under our revolving credit facility due in April 2013, we have classified these borrowings as long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets. Before the stated maturities of April 2013, we may renegotiate the revolving credit agreement and term loans to increase the borrowing commitment and/or extend the maturity. Maturities of debt as of September 30, 2009, excluding net discounts, are as follows:

Commercial Paper

Our commercial paper program availability is $2.84 billion. Borrowings under the commercial paper program reduce our available capacity under the revolving credit facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. The commercial paper borrowings may have terms up to 397 days and bear interest at rates agreed to at the time of the borrowing. The interest rate is based on a standard index such as the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR, or the money market rate as found on the commercial paper market. On September 30, 2009, borrowings were $520 million at a weighted average interest rate of 0.4%.

Bank Debt

On September 30, 2009, we had no borrowings under our revolving credit agreement with commercial banks, and we had available borrowing capacity of $2.32 billion net of our commercial paper borrowings. We use the facility for general corporate purposes and as a backup facility for our commercial paper program. We have the option, with bank approval, to increase the commitment up to an additional $660 million. The interest rate on any borrowing is generally based on the one-month LIBOR plus 0.40%. When utilization of available commitments is greater than 50%, the interest rate on our borrowings is increased by 0.05%. Interest is paid at maturity, or quarterly if the term is for a period of 90 days or more. We also incur a commitment fee on unused borrowing commitments, which is 0.09%. The agreement requires us to maintain a debt-to-total capitalization ratio of not more than 65%.

We have unsecured and uncommitted lines of credit with commercial banks totaling $300 million. As of September 30, 2009, there were no borrowings under these lines.

Repurchase of Senior Notes

In the first and second quarters of 2009, we repurchased $200 million total face amount of senior notes, including $2 million of our 5.0% senior notes due 2015, $15 million of our 6.25% senior notes due 2017, $27 million of our 5.5% senior notes due 2018, $9 million of our 6.1% senior notes due 2036, $51 million of our 6.75% senior notes due 2037 and $96 million of our 6.375% senior notes due 2038. In connection with these repurchases, we recognized a $17 million gain on extinguishment of debt in the first nine months of 2009, net of unamortized discounts and the write-off of deferred debt offering costs. These gains were netted against interest expense in the consolidated income statements. There were no repurchases of senior notes in third quarter 2009.
