Term Loan
Floating Rate Term Loan due 2029. In March 2022, we entered into a $750 million Floating Rate Term Loan due March 2029, at a price of 97% of the aggregate principal amount, with interest paid monthly. The Term Loan bears interest at one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 350 basis points for an aggregate rate of 7.92%.
Floating Rate Term Loan due 2027. In February 2020, we amended our Floating Rate Term Loan and extended its maturity term to 2027. We increased the outstanding borrowing principal amount of the Floating Rate Term Loan to $1.2 billion and on April 1, 2020 used the additional loan amount to redeem $100 million of our outstanding 5.500% Senior Notes due 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the loan bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 1.75%, for an aggregate rate of 6.14%; however, we entered into an interest rate swap to hedge $700 million of our interest rate exposure related to the floating rate term loan at an aggregate rate of 4.75%.
