Valhi – Contran credit facility – We have an unsecured revolving credit facility with Contran which, as amended, provides for borrowings from Contran of up to $225 million. The facility, as amended, bears interest at prime plus 1% (4.25% at December 31, 2021), and is due on demand, but in any event no earlier than December 31, 2023. The facility contains no financial covenants or other financial restrictions. Valhi pays an unused commitment fee quarterly to Contran on the available balance (except during periods during which Contran would be a net borrower from Valhi). The average interest rate on the credit facility for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 4.25%. During 2021 we made no borrowings and we repaid $97.8 million under this facility, and at December 31, 2021 an additional $52.1 million was available for borrowings under this facility.

Kronos – Senior Notes – On September 13, 2017, Kronos International, Inc. (“KII”), Kronos’ wholly-owned subsidiary, issued €400 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.75% Senior Secured Notes due September 15, 2025 (the “Senior Notes”), at par value ($477.6 million when issued). The Senior Notes:

The carrying value of the Senior Notes at December 31, 2021 is stated net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $3.5 million (at December 31, 2020 the balance was $4.7 million).

Revolving credit facility – On April 20, 2021, Kronos entered into a new global $225 million revolving credit facility (“Global Revolver”) which matures in April 2026. The Global Revolver replaces Kronos’ previously existing North American and European revolving credit facilities and there were no borrowings on either facility in 2020 and 2021 through their termination concurrent with entering into the Global Revolver. Borrowings under the Global Revolver are available for Kronos’ general corporate purposes. Available borrowings are based on formula-determined amounts of eligible trade receivables and inventories, as defined in the agreement, less any outstanding letters of credit issued under the Global Revolver. Borrowings by Kronos’ Canadian, Belgian and German subsidiaries are limited to $25 million, €30 million and €60 million, respectively. Any amounts outstanding under the Global Revolver bear interest, at Kronos’ option, at the applicable non-base rate (LIBOR, CDOR or EURIBOR, dependent on the currency of the borrowing) plus a margin ranging from 1.5% to 2.0%, or at the applicable base rate, as defined in the agreement, plus a margin ranging from .5% to 2.0%. The Global Revolver is collateralized by, among other things, a first priority lien on the borrowers’ trade receivables and inventories. The facility contains a number of covenants and restrictions customary in lending transactions of this type which, among other things, restrict the borrowers’ ability to incur additional debt, incur liens, pay additional dividends or merge or consolidate with, or sell or transfer all or substantially all of their assets to another entity and, under certain conditions, requires the maintenance of a fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined in the agreement, of at least 1.0 to 1.0.

Since inception, Kronos has had no borrowings or repayments under the Global Revolver and at December 31, 2021, approximately $213 million was available for borrowing under this revolving facility.
