Long-Term Indebtedness

2019 Credit Agreement

On September 20, 2019, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks under which Envista borrowed approximately $1.3 billion, consisting of the three-year $650.0 million Term Loan Facility and the three-year €600.0 million Euro Term Loan Facility (together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Term Loans”). The Credit Agreement also includes the five-year, $250.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Loans, the “Senior Credit Facilities”). Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, all of the net proceeds of the Term Loans were paid to Danaher as partial consideration for the Dental business Danaher transferred to Envista, as further discussed in Note 1.

The Revolving Credit Facility includes an initial aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million with a $20.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. The Company has the option to increase the amount available under the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to agreement by the lenders, by up to an additional $200.0 million in the aggregate. The Revolving Credit Facility can be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. As of April 2, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Under the Senior Credit Facilities, borrowings bear interest as follows: (1) Eurocurrency Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) bear interest at a variable rate equal to the London inter-bank offered (“LIBOR”) rate plus a margin of between 0.785% and 1.625%, depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter; and (2) Base Rate Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) bear interest at a variable rate equal to (a) the highest of (i) the Federal funds rate (as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York from time to time) plus 0.50%, (ii) Bank of America’s “prime rate” as publicly announced from time to time and (iii) the Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.0%, plus (b) a margin of between 0.00% and 0.625%, depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. In no event will Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans bear interest at a rate lower than 0.0%. In addition, the Company is required to pay a per annum facility fee of between 0.09% and 0.225% depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter and based on the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, whether drawn or not.

The interest rates for borrowings under the Term Loan Facility were 2.38% and 4.25% as of April 2, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The interest rates for borrowings under the Euro Term Loan Facility were 1.45% and 3.33% as of April 2, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Interest is payable quarterly for the Term Loans. The Company has entered into interest rate swap derivative contracts for the Term Loan Facility, as further discussed in Note 8. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a Consolidated Leverage Ratio of 3.75 to 1.00 or less and includes a provision that the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio will be increased to 4.25 to 1.00 for the four consecutive full fiscal quarters immediately following the consummation of any acquisition by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company in which the purchase price exceeds $100.0 million. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least 3.00 to 1.00. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, conditions precedent, events of default, indemnities and affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the Company’s and/or the Company’s subsidiaries ability, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, to incur liens or indebtedness, merge, consolidate or sell or otherwise transfer assets, make dividends or distributions, enter into transactions with the Company’s affiliates and use proceeds of the debt financing for other than permitted uses. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the lenders may declare the outstanding advances and all other obligations under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable. The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of April 2, 2021.

On May 6, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to its Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) that, among other changes, waived the quarterly-tested leverage covenant and reduces the interest coverage ratio through and including the first quarter of 2021. In connection with this Amendment, the lenders obtained a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Amendment also imposed limitations on liens, indebtedness, asset sales, investments and acquisitions. In addition, the Company was required to maintain a monthly-tested minimum liquidity covenant during the waiver period. The Amendment increased the interest and fees payable under the Credit Agreement for the duration of the period during which the waiver of the debt covenants remains in effect. The Company incurred fees aggregating $2.8 million in connection with this Amendment, of which $2.3 million were deferred and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt and the remaining amount was expensed.

On February 9, 2021, the Company entered into an additional amendment to its Credit Agreement that substantially reinstated the original terms of its Credit Agreement effective February 9, 2021. In conjunction with this amendment, the Company repaid $472.0 million of its Euro Term Loan Facility, which was classified as short-term debt as of December 31, 2020.

Convertible Senior Notes (the “Notes”)

On May 21, 2020, the Company issued the Notes due on June 1, 2025, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. The aggregate principal amount, which includes the initial purchasers’ exercise in full of their option to purchase an additional $67.5 million principal amount of the Notes, was $517.5 million. The net proceeds from the issuance, after deducting purchasers’ discounts and estimated offering expenses, were $502.6 million. The Company used part of the net proceeds to pay for the capped call transactions (“Capped Calls”) as further described below. The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 2.375% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2020. The Notes have an initial conversion rate of 47.5862 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $21.01 per share of the Company’s common stock and is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events. The Notes are governed by an indenture dated as of May 21, 2020 (the “Indenture”) between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee. The Indenture does not contain any financial covenants or any restrictions on the payment of dividends, the incurrence of senior debt or other indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of the Company’s securities by the Company.

The Notes are the Company’s senior, unsecured obligations and are (i) equal in right of payment with the Company’s existing and future senior, unsecured indebtedness; (ii) senior in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Notes; (iii) effectively subordinated to the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness; and (iv) structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent the Company is not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of the Company’s subsidiaries.

Holders of the Notes may convert their Notes at any time on or after December 2, 2024 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day preceding the maturity date. Holders of the Notes will also have the right to convert the Notes prior to December 2, 2024, but only upon the occurrence of specified events. Upon conversion, the Notes will be settled in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. The Company’s current intent and policy is to settle all Notes conversions through combination settlement, satisfying the principal amount outstanding with cash and any Notes conversion value in excess of the principal amount in shares of the Company’s common stock. If a fundamental change occurs prior to the maturity date, holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their Notes for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, if specific corporate events occur prior to the maturity date, the Company would increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such an event in certain circumstances. As of April 2, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the stock price exceeded 130% of the conversion price of $21.01 in 20 days of the final 30 trading days ended April 2, 2021 and December 31, 2020, which satisfied one of the conditions permitting early conversion by holders of the Notes, therefore, the Notes are classified as short-term debt.

The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after June 1, 2023 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the redemption date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130.0% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. In addition, calling any Note for redemption will constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to that Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption.

In accounting for the issuance of the Notes, the Company separated the Notes into liability and equity components of $410.9 million and $106.6 million, respectively. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar debt instrument that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the par value of the Notes. The equity component is not re-measured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes.

The Company allocated the total issuance costs incurred to the liability and equity components of the Notes based on their relative values. Issuance costs attributable to the liability component of $11.9 million were recorded as a reduction to the liability portion of the Notes and will be amortized as interest expense over the term of the Notes. The issuance costs of $3.1 million attributable to the equity component were netted with the equity component in stockholders’ equity.

The Company recorded a net deferred tax liability of $20.5 million in connection with the issuance of the Notes, which was recorded to stockholders’ equity.

The following table sets forth total interest expense recognized related to the Notes ($ in millions):


	Three Months Ended
	April 2, 2021		April 3, 2020
Contractual interest expense	$	3.1	$	—
Amortization of debt issuance costs	0.5		—
Amortization of debt discount	4.6		—
Total interest expense	$	8.2	$	—

For the three months ended April 2, 2021, the debt discount and debt issuance costs were amortized using an annual effective interest rate of 7.3% to interest expense over the term of the Notes.

As of April 2, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of the Notes was $1,065.3 million and $902.7 million, respectively. The fair value was determined based on the quoted bid price of the Notes in an over-the-counter market on April 2, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Notes are considered as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

As of April 2, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the if-converted value of the Notes exceeded the outstanding principal amount by $488.0 million and $313.1 million, respectively.

Capped Call Transactions

In connection with the offering of the Notes, the Company entered into Capped Calls with certain counterparties. The Capped Calls each have an initial strike price of approximately $21.01 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the Notes. The Capped Calls have initial cap prices of $23.79 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Capped Calls cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, 2.9 million shares of the Company's common stock. The Capped Calls are generally intended to reduce or offset the potential dilution from shares of common stock issued upon any conversion of the Notes with such reduction or offset, as the case may be, subject to a cap based on the cap price. As the Capped Call transactions are considered indexed to the Company's own stock and are considered equity classified, they are recorded in equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The cost of $20.7 million incurred in connection with the Capped Calls was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.
