The Company's senior secured credit facilities consist of $4.2 billion of term loans and a $650 million asset based revolving line of credit. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of July 2, 2016.

During fiscal 2016, the Company has made $390 million of repayments on long-term borrowings using existing liquidity.

Term Loans

In October 2015, the Company entered into an incremental assumption agreement to increase the commitments under the existing term loan credit agreement by $2.1 billion. The incremental assumption agreement provided for that incremental term loan to bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.00% per annum with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, to mature in October 2022 and to be subject to customary amortization. The proceeds from the incremental term loan, in addition to the 6% Second Priority Senior Secured Notes, were used to finance the Avintiv acquisition. The Company recognized $11 million of debt discount and $25 million of deferred financing fees related to this assumption agreement.

In June 2016, the Company entered into an incremental assumption agreement and amendment to lower the interest rates under certain of the existing term loans. The term loan maturing in January 2021 now bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%. The term loan maturing in October 2022 now bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%. Additionally, if the Company is able to achieve a first lien secured leverage ratio below 3.0 to 1.0, the interest rate on the term loan maturing in October 2022 will be reduced to LIBOR plus 2.50%. All other terms remain unchanged. The term loans are considered to be a loan syndication and as a result, a portion of the existing term loans were modified and a portion were considered to be extinguished. The Company recorded $4 million to loss on debt extinguishment, reflecting the write-off of deferred financing fees and debt discounts, net of amortization associated with the portion of the debt that was considered extinguished. The Company also recognized $2 million of debt discount related to the assumption agreement executed in June 2016.

Debt discounts and deferred financing fees are presented net of Long-term debt, less the current portion on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and are amortized to Interest expense through maturity.

6% Second Priority Senior Secured Notes

In October 2015, the Company issued $400 million of 6% second priority senior secured notes due October 2022. Interest on these notes is due semi-annually in April and October. The proceeds from these notes, in addition to the incremental term loan, were used to finance the Avintiv acquisition. The Company recognized $5 million of deferred financing fees related to this debt issuance that will be amortized to Interest expense through maturity.
