Guarantor Financial Information
On September 11, 2013, Sprint Corporation issued $2.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.250% notes due 2021 and $4.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.875% notes due 2023 in a private placement transaction with registration rights. On December 12, 2013, Sprint Corporation issued $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.125% notes due 2024 in a private placement transaction with registration rights. Each of these issuances is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Sprint Communications, Inc. (Subsidiary Guarantor), which is a 100 percent owned subsidiary of Sprint Corporation (Parent/Issuer). In connection with the foregoing, the registration rights agreements with respect to the notes required the Company and Sprint Communications, Inc. to use their reasonable best efforts to cause an offer to exchange the notes for a new issue of substantially identical exchange notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933. Accordingly, in November 2014, we completed an exchange offer for these notes in compliance with our registration obligations. We did not receive any proceeds from this exchange offer. In addition, on February 24, 2015, Sprint Corporation issued $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.625% notes due 2025 in a registered transaction, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Sprint Communications, Inc.
Under the Subsidiary Guarantor's revolving bank credit facility and certain other agreements, the Subsidiary Guarantor is currently restricted from paying cash dividends to the Parent/Issuer or any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary because the ratio of total indebtedness to adjusted EBITDA (each as defined in the applicable agreement) exceeds 2.5 to 1.0.
In May 2014, certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Sprint entered into a Receivables Facility arrangement to sell certain accounts receivable on a revolving basis, subject to a maximum funding limit. The Receivables Facility was amended in April 2015, which, among other things, extended the expiration date to March 31, 2017 and increased the maximum funding limit to $3.3 billion. In connection with this arrangement, Sprint formed certain wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are bankruptcy remote SPEs and are included in the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries condensed consolidated financial information (see Note 3. Accounts Receivable Facility). We have accounted for investments in subsidiaries using the equity method. Presented below is the condensed consolidating financial information.
