Senior Secured Credit Facility The Company is party to a senior secured credit agreement with certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto as foreign borrowers, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). This credit agreement provides for senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $700 million, which are comprised of (i) a five-year multicurrency revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $500 million (including (a) a letter of credit sub-facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $75 million and (b) a sub-facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200 million for borrowings and letters of credit in
certain agreed foreign currencies) (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” and the loans thereunder, the “Revolving Loans”) and (ii) a five-year term loan “A” facility in the aggregate principal amount of $200 million (the “Term Loan A Facility,” and the loans thereunder, the “Term A Loans” and, the Term Loan A Facility, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”).

The Term A Loans and the Revolving Loans (collectively, the “Loans”) bear interest based on SOFR (or an alternative reference rate for amounts denominated in a currency other than Dollars), or, at the Company’s option, in the case of amounts denominated in Dollars, at a base reference rate equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the rate of interest last quoted by the Administrative Agent as its “prime rate” and (c) the one-month SOFR rate plus 1.00% (the “Base Rate”), plus, as applicable, a margin ranging from 2.25% to 3.25% per annum for SOFR-based Loans and ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% per annum for Base Rate-based Loans, in each case, depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio.

The outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan A Facility was required to be repaid in quarterly installments beginning March 31, 2024 in an amount equal to (i) 1.875% of the original principal amount of the Term A Loans during the first three years and (ii) 2.50% of the original principal amount of the Term A Loans during final two years. Any remaining outstanding balance will be due at maturity on October 16, 2028. The Revolving Credit Facility is not subject to amortization and will mature on October 16, 2028.

On September 30, 2024, using a portion of the proceeds from the Digital Banking Sale, the Company repaid all loans outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (but did not reduce the principal amount of the commitments under the Revolving Loans).

The obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s material subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). The obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the above described guarantee are secured by a first priority lien and security interest in certain equity interests owned by the Company and the Guarantors in certain of their respective domestic and foreign subsidiaries, and a first priority lien and security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors, subject to certain exclusions.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, and negative covenants. The negative covenants limit the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur indebtedness, create liens on the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ assets, engage in fundamental changes, make investments, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, engage in sale-leaseback transactions, make restricted payments, repay subordinated indebtedness, engage in certain transactions with affiliates and enter into agreements restricting the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to make distributions to the Company or incur liens on their assets.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities also contain a financial covenant that does not permit the Company to allow its consolidated leverage ratio to exceed (i) in the case of any fiscal quarter ending on or prior to September 30, 2024, 4.75 to 1.00, (ii) in the case of any fiscal quarter ending on or following September 30, 2024 and prior to September 30, 2025, 4.50 to 1.00 and (iii) in the case of any fiscal quarter ending on or following September 30, 2025, 4.25 to 1.00, in each case subject, to (x) increases of 0.25 in connection with the consummation of any material acquisition and applicable to the fiscal quarter in which such acquisition is consummated and the three consecutive fiscal quarters thereafter, and (y) a maximum cap of 5.00 to 1.00.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities also include provisions for events of default, which are customary for similar financings. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders may, among other things, terminate the loan commitments, accelerate all loans and require cash collateral deposits in respect of outstanding letters of credit. If the Company is unable to pay or repay the amounts due, the lenders could, among other things, proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure such indebtedness.

Senior Unsecured Notes On August 20, 2020, the Company issued $650 million aggregate principal amount of 5.000% senior unsecured notes due in 2028 (the “5.000% Notes”) and $450 million aggregate principal amount of 5.250% senior unsecured notes due in 2030 (the “5.250% Notes”). Interest is payable on the 5.000% and 5.250% Notes semi-annually in arrears at interest rates of 5.000% and 5.250%, respectively, on April 1 and October 1. The 5.000% and 5.250% Notes were sold at 100% of the principal amount and mature on October 1, 2028 and October 1, 2030, respectively.

Prior to October 1, 2025 with respect to the 5.250% Notes, the Company may redeem some or all of such series of Notes by paying a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus the Applicable Premium, as defined in the indenture governing the applicable series of notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the
redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record of the Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

The Company has the option to redeem the 5.000% Notes, in whole or in part, at any time, at a redemption price of 101.250% and 100% during the 12-month periods commencing on October 1, 2024 and 2025 and thereafter, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. The Company has the option to redeem the 5.250% Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after October 1, 2025, at a redemption price of 102.625%, 101.750%, 100.875%, and 100% during the 12-month periods commencing on October 1, 2025, 2026, 2027 and 2028 and thereafter, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

On April 6, 2021, the Company issued $1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior unsecured notes due 2029 (the “5.125% Notes”). Interest is payable on the 5.125% Notes semi-annually in arrears at annual rates of 5.125% on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The 5.125% Notes will mature on April 15, 2029.
The Company has the option to redeem the 5.125% Notes, in whole or in part, on or after April 15, 2024, at a redemption price of 102.563%, 101.281% and 100% during the 12-month periods commencing on or after April 15, 2024, 2025 and 2026 and thereafter, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
The senior unsecured notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and are jointly and severally unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company’s domestic material subsidiaries, subject to certain limitations, that guarantee the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities pursuant to supplemental indentures governing each applicable series of senior unsecured notes. The indentures governing the senior unsecured notes contain customary events of default, including, among other things, payment default, exchange default, failure to provide certain notices thereunder and certain provisions related to bankruptcy events. The indentures governing the senior unsecured notes also contains customary high yield affirmative and negative covenants, including negative covenants that, among other things, limit the Company and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens on, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, engage in certain fundamental corporate changes or changes to lines of business activities, make certain investments or material acquisitions, engage in sale-leaseback or hedging transactions, repurchase common stock, pay dividends or make similar distributions on capital stock, repay certain indebtedness, engage in certain affiliate transactions and enter into agreements that restrict their ability to create liens, pay dividends or make loan repayments. If the senior unsecured notes are assigned an “investment grade” rating by Moody’s or S&P and no default has occurred or is continuing, certain covenants will be terminated.

On September 30, 2024, a portion of the proceeds from the Digital Banking Sale were used to settle the Company’s previously announced tender offers to purchase up to $1.2 billion aggregate purchase price, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, of the Company’s senior unsecured notes, subject to prioritized acceptance levels and proration. Pursuant to the terms of the tender offers and the final settlement, the Company purchased approximately $398 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.250% Notes and $797 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.125% Notes. The Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $8 million related to the redemption discount of $18 million on the settlement of the 5.250% Notes and 5.125% Notes offset by the write-off of the related deferred financing fees of $10 million.

Fair Value of Debt The Company utilized Level 2 inputs, as defined in the fair value hierarchy, to measure the fair value of the long-term debt, which, as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $1.08 billion and $2.47 billion, respectively. Management’s fair value estimates were based on quoted prices for recent trades of the Company’s long-term debt, quoted prices for similar instruments, and inquiries with certain investment communities.
