In December 2016, the Company issued $300.0 million of 3.75% Notes due December 2021 (“3.75% Notes”). The Company received proceeds of $296.4 million from the offering, net of discounts and debt issuance costs. The 3.75% Notes rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior unsecured debt of Avnet and interest will be payable semi-annually each year on June 1 and December 1.

In August 2016, the Company amended and extended its accounts receivable securitization program (the “Program”) with a group of financial institutions to allow the Company to transfer, on an ongoing revolving basis, an undivided interest in a designated pool of trade accounts receivable, to provide security or collateral for borrowings up to a maximum of $800.0 million. The Program does not qualify for off balance sheet accounting treatment and any borrowings under the Program are recorded as debt in the consolidated balance sheets. Under the Program, the Company legally sells and isolates certain U.S. trade accounts receivable into a wholly owned and consolidated bankruptcy remote special purpose entity. Such receivables, which are recorded within “Receivables” in the consolidated balance sheets, totaled $1.81 billion and $1.46 billion at December 31, 2016, and July 2, 2016, respectively. The Program contains certain covenants relating to the quality of the receivables sold. The Program also requires the Company to maintain certain minimum interest coverage and leverage ratios, which the Company was in compliance with as of December 31, 2016, and July 2, 2016. The Program has a two-year term that expires in August 2018 and as a result is considered long-term debt as of December 31, 2016. Interest on borrowings is calculated using a base rate or a commercial paper rate plus a spread of 0.40% with a facility fee of 0.40%.

The Company has a five-year $1.25 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks, consisting of revolving credit facilities and the issuance of up to $150.0 million of letters of credit, which expires in July 2019. Subject to certain conditions, the Credit Facility may be increased up to $1.5 billion. Under the Credit Facility, the Company may select from various interest rate options, currencies and maturities. The Credit Facility contains certain covenants including various limitations on debt incurrence, share repurchases, dividends, investments and capital expenditures. The Credit Facility also includes financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain minimum interest coverage and leverage ratios, which the Company was in compliance with as of December 31, 2016, and July 2, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, and July 2, 2016, there were $4.8 million and $5.6 million, respectively, in letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility.

In October 2016, certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company (the “Borrowers”) borrowed €479 million under a Senior Unsecured Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan”) entered into with a group of banks. The Term Loan has a maturity date of October 17, 2019. The proceeds from borrowings under the Term Loan were used to finance a portion of the cash consideration and any fees and expenses related to the Company’s acquisition of PF discussed further in Note 2. The Term Loan is unsecured and contains financial covenants consistent with the Credit Facility. The Company was in compliance with such financial covenants as of December 2016.

As of December 31, 2016, the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s total debt was $3.63 billion and $3.66 billion, respectively. At July 2, 2016, the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s total debt was $2.49 billion and $2.59 billion, respectively. Fair value for the notes and Term Loan was estimated based upon quoted market prices and for other forms of debt fair value approximates carrying value due to the market based variable nature of the interest rates on those debt agreements.
