As of October 2, 2021, Brunswick was in compliance with the financial covenants associated with its debt.
Bridge Facility
In June 2021, the Company entered into a commitment letter with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JP Morgan") to obtain a 364-day senior unsecured bridge facility in an aggregate amount of principal not to exceed $900.0 million (the "Bridge Facility"). The Company obtained the bridge commitment in anticipation of the acquisition of Navico, and the commitment was terminated in August 2021 when the Company obtained the Notes, as defined below. Refer to Note 15 – Subsequent Events for further details regarding the acquisition of Navico.
2024 and 2031 Notes
In August 2021, the Company issued aggregate principal amount of $450.0 million of 0.850% Senior Notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes") and $550.0 million of 2.400% Senior Notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes" and, together with the 2024 Notes, the "Notes") in a public offering, which resulted in aggregate net proceeds to the Company of $992.9 million. Net proceeds from the offering were used for the acquisition of Navico and for general corporate purposes.
The 2024 Notes and 2031 Notes bear interest at rates of 0.850% and 2.400% per year, respectively, each payable semiannually in arrears on February 18 and August 18, and the first interest payment date will be February 18, 2022. The 2024 Notes will mature on August 18, 2024, and the 2031 Notes will mature on August 18, 2031.
The 2024 Notes are not redeemable prior to August 18, 2022. The Company may redeem the 2031 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to maturity. If the Company elects to redeem the 2031 Notes at any time prior to May 18, 2031 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity of the 2031 Notes), it will pay a "make-whole" redemption price set forth in the Fourth Supplemental Indenture to the Indenture dated as of October 3, 2018 ("Fourth Supplemental Indenture"). On or after August 18, 2022, in the case of the 2024 Notes, or May 18, 2031, in the case of the 2031 Notes, the Company may, at its option, redeem the 2024 Notes and the 2031 Notes, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof. In addition to the redemption price, the Company will pay accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date.
If the Company experiences a change of control triggering event with respect to a series of Notes, as defined in the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, each holder of such series of Notes may require the Company to repurchase some or all of its Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the repurchase date. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, the Company and its restricted subsidiaries will be subject to, among other covenants, restrictions on the incurrence of debt secured by liens on Principal Property (as defined in the Indenture dated as of October 3, 2018) or shares of capital stock of such restricted subsidiaries, entering into sale and leaseback transactions in respect of Principal Property and mergers or consolidations with another entity or sales, transfers or leases of the Company's properties and assets substantially as an entirety to another person.
Tender Offers
In August 2021, the Company commenced tender offers to purchase for cash the 7.375% Debentures due 2023 ("2023 Debentures") and 7.125% Notes due 2027 ("2027 Notes"). The tender offers expired on August 10, 2021. At the expiration date, $23.4 million of the $103.1 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2023 Debentures and $2.5 million of the $163.3 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2027 Notes were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. This amount excludes outstanding securities tendered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described in the tender offer documents, which remain subject to the holders' performance of the delivery requirements under such procedures. The Company recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $4.2 million related to the tender offers.
Credit Facility
In July 2021, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Amended Credit Facility") with certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company as subsidiary borrowers and lenders as parties, and JPMorgan as administrative agent. The Amended Credit Facility amends and restates the Credit Facility dated as of March 21, 2011, as amended and restated through November 12, 2019. The Amended Credit Facility increases the revolving commitments to $500.0 million, with the capacity to add up to $100.0 million of additional revolving commitments, and amends the Credit Facility in certain respects, including, among other things:
•Extending the maturity date to July 16, 2026, with up to two one-year extensions available.
•Modifying the applicable interest rate margin range such that the highest applicable interest rate margin is reduced from 1.90 percent per annum to 1.70 percent per annum.
•Increasing the net cash offset for purposes of determining the leverage ratio from $150.0 million to $350.0 million.
•Modifying the leverage ratio maintenance covenant to allow for a 12-month increase of the maximum leverage ratio to 4.00 to 1.00 following the consummation of a Qualified Acquisition (as such term is defined in the Amended Credit Facility).
•Including "hardwired" LIBOR transition provisions substantially consistent with those published by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee.
As of October 2, 2021 there were no borrowings outstanding, and available borrowing capacity totaled $497.2 million, net of $2.8 million of letters of credit outstanding, under the Credit Facility.
