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, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Sprint Communications, Inc.
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, there was a non-cash equity contribution from the Subsidiary Guarantor to the non-guarantor subsidiaries as a result of organizational restructuring for tax purposes in the amount of $563 million.
Under the Subsidiary Guarantor's revolving bank credit facility and certain other finance agreements, the Subsidiary Guarantor is currently restricted from paying cash dividends to the Parent/Issuer because the ratio of total indebtedness to adjusted EBITDA (each as defined in the applicable agreement) exceeds 2.5 to 1.0.
Sprint has a Receivables Facility providing for the sale of eligible wireless service, installment and certain future lease receivables. In November 2015, Sprint also entered into the Tranche 1 transaction to sell and leaseback certain leased devices. In April 2016, Sprint entered into the Tranche 2 transaction to sell and leaseback certain leased devices and a Network Equipment Sale-Leaseback to sell and leaseback certain network equipment. In connection with the Receivables Facility, Tranches 1 and 2 and the Network Equipment Sale-Leaseback, Sprint formed certain wholly-owned consolidated bankruptcy-remote SPEs and SPE Lessees that are included in the non-guarantor subsidiaries condensed consolidated financial information. Each SPE and SPE Lessee is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled, prior to and upon the liquidation of the SPE or SPE Lessee, to be satisfied out of the SPE or SPE Lessee’s assets prior to any assets in the SPE and SPE Lessee becoming available to Sprint (see Note 3. Funding Sources).
We have accounted for investments in subsidiaries using the equity method. Presented below is the condensed consolidating financial information.
