Term Loan

In May 2017, the Company entered into a 7-year Initial Term Loan. During November 2017 and November 2019, the Company entered into Incremental Term Loans under identical terms as the Initial Term Loan. In August 2020, the Company refinanced the Term Loan by paying down $270 million of principal using the proceeds from the August 2020 Unsecured Senior Notes issuance, extending the maturity date on $1,986 million of the balance to October 31, 2026, and adding an interest rate floor of 50 bps (the "Amended Term Loan"). As part of the consideration transferred in the Business Combination, $556 million of principal was repaid on the portion of the Term Loan that was not amended. In August 2021, the Company entered into a new Third Incremental Term Loan facility for $525 million that matures August 31, 2028. In March 2023, the Company refinanced the remaining portion of the 7-year Term Loan in full by increasing the existing B-1 Term Loan by approximately $65 million under identical terms as the B-1 Term Loan.

Interest rates on the B-1 Term Loan borrowings are based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). The Company is required to make principal payments at the end of each fiscal quarter based on defined terms in the agreement with the remaining principal balances due on the maturity dates.

In September 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 9 to Credit Agreement with a syndicate of lenders to establish a new class of Fifth Incremental Term Loans with an aggregate principal amount of $2,507 million to reprice the outstanding Initial Term B-1 Loans due August 31, 2028 by reducing the applicable rate from a SOFR + 3.00% to SOFR + 2.75%. The Company utilized swap agreements to fix a portion of the floating interest rates through December 2026 (see Note 13 “Derivative Financial Instruments”).

During the Successor year ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and Successor six months ended December 31, 2021 and the Predecessor six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, the Company made total principal payments of $25 million, $31 million, $571 million, and $13 million, respectively.

Secured Senior Notes

During May 2020, the Company issued $300 million of Secured Senior Notes. These Secured Senior Notes have a maturity date of June 1, 2025 and accrue interest at a fixed rate of 5.75% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2020.

Revolving Credit Facility

In May 2017, the Company entered into a 5-year $250 million Revolver with a multi-bank syndicate with a maturity date of May 1, 2022. During August 2020, the Company extended the maturity date for $226 million of the Revolver to October 31, 2024. In August 2021, the Company replaced and refinanced the Revolvers with a $294 million Revolver with a maturity date of August 31, 2026. In March 2023, the Company amended and upsized the revolving credit facility to $300 million and updated the benchmark reference rate from LIBOR to Term SOFR. No changes were made to the maturity date. At December 31, 2023, $3 million of unused letters of credit related to various insurance policies and real estate leases were issued under the Revolver and there were no additional borrowings. The Company is required to make periodic payments for commitment fees and interest related to the Revolver and outstanding letters of credit. During the Successor years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and the Successor six months ended December 31, 2021 and Predecessor six months year ended June 30, 2021, respectively, the Company made immaterial payments related to these fees.

Financing Fees, Premiums and Interest Expense

The Company capitalized financing fees and premiums related to the Term Loan, Revolver and Secured Senior Notes issued. These financing fees and premiums were recorded as an offset to the aggregate debt balances and are being amortized over the respective loan terms.

Total interest expense related to the debt instruments for the Successor years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and the Successor six months ended December 31, 2021 and Predecessor six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, was $219 million, $138 million, $53 million, $105 million, respectively.
