(1) The term loans maturing in June 2019 and the revolver availability are subject to a reduction in maturity to November 2015, December 2015, June 2016 or September 2016 if the Company is unable to repay or refinance its outstanding debt under the Second Lien Credit Agreement or its unsecured debt prior to their maturity dates.

In April 2013, the Company completed an exchange offer for substantially all of its existing Senior Notes due in September 2014 and March 2016, including the dollar denominated floating rates notes due 2014, euro denominated floating rate notes due 2014, 9.875% dollar denominated notes due 2014 and 9% dollar denominated notes due 2016, for approximately $406 million of new 13.875% senior fixed rate notes due March 2016, of which 2.5% is payable as payment-in-kind interest, and approximately $185 million of new senior floating rate notes due March 2016, bearing cash interest of LIBOR plus 6.125% and 2.5% of interest payable as payment-in-kind interest (the “Senior Notes Exchange Offers”). In connection with the Senior Notes Exchange Offers, the holders of the Senior Notes provided a waiver and release of all claims asserted related to the Company’s refinancing in 2011. To facilitate the transactions:

 

 

The Company entered into a new second lien secured credit agreement (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”) and issued $630 million of Tranche 1 second priority secured loans due January 2016 (the “Tranche 1 Loans”). The cash proceeds were used to (i) repay $175 million of indebtedness outstanding under the 2012 Secured Credit Agreement, (ii) repay in cash $393 million as part of the Senior Notes Exchange Offers and (iii) pay consent fees in connection with the exchange offers and consent solicitations. The Tranche 1 Loans bear cash interest of LIBOR plus 8%, with a minimum LIBOR floor of 1.5%. During May 2013, the Company further borrowed $15 million to redeem the Senior Notes who did not participate in the Senior Note Exchange Offers.

 

 

The Company completed an exchange offer for its existing Second Priority Secured Notes due December 2016 for an equal principal amount of new term loans under the Second Lien Credit Agreement, due December 2016 (the “Tranche 2 Loans”). The Tranche 2 Loans bear interest of 8.375% (cash interest of 4% and payment-in-kind interest of 4.375%).

 

 

The Company paid a consent fee to holders of the Company’s Senior Subordinated Notes in exchange for a waiver and release of all claims asserted in connection with the Company’s refinancing in 2011 and amended certain restrictive covenants under the indentures of the Senior Subordinated Notes.

 

 

The Company’s direct parent holding company, Travelport Holdings Limited, acquired all of its outstanding Extended Tranche A Loans in exchange for (i) approximately 43.3% of the outstanding equity of Travelport Worldwide Limited (“Worldwide”), a parent company indirectly owning 100% of the Company, and (ii) $25 million of newly issued 11.875% Senior Subordinated Notes of the Company due September 2016, and acquired all of its outstanding Extended Tranche B Loans in exchange for approximately 34.6% of the outstanding equity of Worldwide.

On June 26, 2013, the Company amended and restated its Senior Secured Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) which, among other things, (i) refinanced in full the outstanding term loans, revolver borrowings and other commitments with the proceeds of a new $1,554 million term loan facility with a maturity date of June 2019 and an initial interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 5% (with a minimum LIBOR floor of 1.25%); (ii) provided for a new $120 million super priority revolving credit facility with a maturity date of June 2018 and an initial interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 4.25% (with a minimum LIBOR floor of 1.25%); (iii) provided for incremental term loan facilities subject to a 3.1 to 1.0 first lien leverage ratio test ; (iv) amended the definition of Consolidated EBITDA to add back amortization of customer loyalty payments; and (v) amended certain financial covenants, including the total leverage ratio, the senior secured leverage ratio, the minimum liquidity ratio and limitations on indebtedness, investments and restricted payments. The Company is required to repay the term loans in quarterly installments equal to 1% per annum of the original funded principal amount of $1,554 million (adjusted for any subsequent prepayments), commencing September 2013.

On June 26, 2013, the Company amended its Second Lien Credit Agreement to amend the definition of (i) Consolidated EBITDA; (ii) the total leverage ratio and senior secured leverage ratio; and (iii) other certain definitions to conform to the amendments in Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

As a result of the above refinancings, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $49 million, which comprised of $39 million of unamortized debt finance costs written-off, $5 million of unamortized debt discount written-off and $5 million of early repayment penalty.

 

Pursuant to the Sixth Amended and Restated Secured Credit Agreement, the Company’s total revolving credit facility is $120 million, all of which remains undrawn as of June 30, 2013.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company borrowed $53 million and repaid $73 million under its revolving credit facility.

As a result of the Company’s Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the $13 million synthetic letter of credit facility was terminated. Further, the $133 million letter of credit facility, which was collateralized by $137 million of restricted cash funded from Tranche S loans, was also terminated and replaced with a new $137 million cash collateralized letter of credit facility, maturing in June 2018. The terms of the new letter of credit facility provide that 103% of cash collateral has to be maintained for outstanding letters of credit. As of June 30, 2013, $88 million of letters of credit were outstanding under the terms of the new facility, against which the Company provided $93 million as cash collateral, and the Company had a balance of $49 million remaining capacity under its letter of credit facility.

Pursuant to its separation agreement with Orbitz Worldwide, the Company was committed to provide up to $75 million in letters of credit on behalf of Orbitz Worldwide. However, subsequent to April 15, 2013, the date on which the Company completed its comprehensive refinancing, the Company and Orbitz Worldwide ceased to be controlled by affiliates of Blackstone, and the Company is no longer obligated to maintain or issue new letters of credit on behalf of Orbitz Worldwide under the separation agreement. As of June 30, 2013, of the total letters of credit outstanding, $33 million in letters of credit were issued by the Company on behalf of Orbitz Worldwide.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, $5 million of interest was capitalized into the Second Priority Secured Notes, the Company repaid $8 million under its capital lease obligations, terminated $1 million of capital leases and entered into $5 million of new capital leases for information technology assets.

Foreign exchange fluctuations resulted in a $1 million decrease in the principal amount of euro denominated loans during the six months ended June 30, 2013.
