Manufacturing Operations
Our 8.25% Senior Notes, due in 2021 (the "Senior Notes") contain an optional redemption feature allowing the Company not more than once during each twelve-month period ending on November 1, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014, to redeem up to $50 million in principal amount of the Senior Notes, at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The Company exercised this early redemption feature for a total principal amount of $100 million, by redeeming $50 million of Senior Notes on November 1, 2011 and an additional $50 million of Senior Notes on November 2, 2011. During the three months ending January 31, 2012, the Company recorded $8 million of charges, relating to the early redemption premium and write-off of related discount and debt issuance costs.
In October 2011, Navistar, Inc. and various other U.S. subsidiaries signed a definitive loan agreement relating to a five-year inventory secured, asset-based revolving senior line of credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $355 million (the "Asset-Based Credit Facility"). In November 2011, we borrowed $100 million under the Asset-Based Credit Facility.
In January 2012, the Company began leasing an existing manufacturing facility in Cherokee, Alabama and purchased certain machinery and equipment within that facility. In relation to the machinery and equipment, the Company entered into a $40 million promissory note with the lessor. This amount is payable in monthly installments over a ten-year term, in conjunction with the lease of the facility. The Company recorded the machinery and equipment, and the associated liability, at the relative fair value of $58 million. Accordingly, this arrangement is included within our financing arrangements and capital lease obligations.
