Disneyland Paris Refinancing
In September 2012, the Company provided Disneyland Paris with €1.3 billion ($1.7 billion) of intercompany financing, bringing the total financing provided to Disneyland Paris to €1.7 billion ($2.3 billion) as of September 28, 2013. Disneyland Paris used the new financing to repay its outstanding third-party bank debt. In fiscal 2012, the Company recorded a net charge of $24 million on the repayment of the third-party bank debt. Certain of the financial and operating covenants, notably those related to capital expenditures and the payment of royalties and management fees due to the Company were eliminated.
The Company has also provided Disneyland Paris with a line of credit totaling €250 million ($337 million), which bears interest at EURIBOR and expires in two tranches: €100 million in 2014 and €150 million in 2018. There were no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit at September 28, 2013.

The expansion cost approximately $0.5 billion, was completed in 2013 and was financed equally by the Company and HKSAR. As a result the Company’s equity interest in HKDL increased to 48%.

Construction of the project began in April 2011 and will include a theme park, two hotels and a retail, dining and entertainment area.
