Disneyland Paris
The Company has provided Disneyland Paris €1.7 billion ($2.3 billion) of intercompany loans and a line of credit totaling €250 million ($344 million). The balance outstanding under the line of credit was €100 million ($137 million) at March 29, 2014.
Hong Kong Disneyland Resort
In July 2009, the Company entered into a capital realignment and expansion plan for HKDL with the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), HKDL’s majority shareholder. 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 from 43% to 48%.
In addition, HKSAR holds a right to receive additional shares over time if HKDL exceeds certain return on asset performance targets.  The amount of additional shares HKSAR can receive varies to the extent certain performance targets are exceeded but is capped on both an annual and cumulative basis. Based on the number of shares currently outstanding, these additional shares could decrease the Company’s equity interest to no less than 38% over a period no shorter than 18 years. HKDL may begin to exceed the performance targets in fiscal 2014, in which case HKSAR would be entitled to receive additional equity interests beginning in 2015. The maximum additional interest which HKSAR can receive in 2015 would reduce the Company's equity interest by approximately 1 percentage point.
In February 2014, HKDL announced a plan to build a third hotel at the resort expected to open in fiscal 2017 at a cost of approximately $550 million, subject to HKSAR Legislative Council approval. In connection with the construction of the hotel, the Company will provide approximately $219 million of equity contributions and HKSAR will convert an equal amount of its outstanding loan to HKDL into equity. Additionally, the Company and HKSAR will provide shareholder loans of up to approximately $149 million and $104 million, respectively. The loans will mature on dates from fiscal 2022 through fiscal 2025 and bear interest at a rate of three month HIBOR plus 2%.
Shanghai Disney Resort
In fiscal 2011, the Company and Shanghai Shendi (Group) Co., Ltd. (Shendi) received Chinese central government approval of an agreement to build and operate a Disney Resort (Shanghai Disney Resort) in the Pudong district of Shanghai for a planned investment of approximately 29 billion yuan ($4.7 billion). Shanghai Disney Resort is owned by a joint venture in which Shendi owns 57% and the Company owns 43%. An additional joint venture, in which the Company has a 70% interest and Shendi a 30% interest, is responsible for creating, constructing and operating Shanghai Disney Resort. Construction on the project, which includes a theme park, two hotels and a retail, dining and entertainment area, began in April 2011, and the resort is currently targeted to open by the end of calendar 2015.
In March 2014, the Company and Shendi received Chinese central government approval of an agreement to increase the planned investment by approximately 5 billion yuan ($0.8 billion), primarily to fund additional attractions, entertainment and other offerings to increase capacity at the theme park. The total investment in Shanghai Disney Resort will be funded in accordance with each partner’s ownership percentage, with approximately 67% from equity contributions and 33% from shareholder loans.
