Debt |
(10)Debt Debt is summarized as follows:
1.375% Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 On October17, 2013 鶹³Ʒ issued $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 1.375% Cash Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (“Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes will mature on October15, 2023 unless earlier repurchased by us or converted. Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April15 and October15 of each year at a rate of 1.375% per annum. All conversion of the Convertible Notes will be settled solely in cash, and not through the delivery of any securities. Prior to the Recapitalization, the conversion rate for the Convertible Notes was 21.0859 shares of SeriesA 鶹³Ʒ common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes and an adjusted conversion price of $47.43 per share of SeriesA 鶹³Ʒ common stock. As a result of the Recapitalization, as discussed in note2, the Convertible Notes are convertible into cash based on the Securities Basket. The supplemental indenture entered into on April15, 2016 in connection with the Recapitalization amends the conversion, adjustment and other provisions of the indenture to give effect to the Recapitalization and provides that the conversion consideration due upon conversion of any Convertible Note shall be determined as if references in the indenture to one share of SeriesA 鶹³Ʒ common stock were instead a reference to the Securities Basket, initially consisting of 0.10 of a share of SeriesA 鶹³Ʒ Braves common stock, 1.0 share of SeriesA 鶹³Ʒ SiriusXM common stock and 0.25 of a share of SeriesA 鶹³Ʒ Formula One common stock. The SeriesA 鶹³Ʒ Braves common stock component of the Securities Basket was adjusted to 0.1087 pursuant to anti-dilution adjustments arising out of the distribution of subscription rights to purchase shares of SeriesC 鶹³Ʒ Braves common stock made to all holders of 鶹³Ʒ Braves common stock. Holders of the Convertible Notes may convert their notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date of the notes under certain circumstances. 鶹³Ʒ has elected to account for this instrument using the fair value option. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of this instrument are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the statements of operations. As of December31, 2017, the Convertible Notes are classified as a long term liability in the consolidated balance sheets, as the conversion conditions have not been met as of such date. Additionally, contemporaneously with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, 鶹³Ʒ entered into the Bond Hedge Transaction. The Bond Hedge Transaction is expected to offset potential cash payments 鶹³Ʒ would be required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes, upon conversion of the notes in the event that the volume-weighted average price per share of the SeriesA 鶹³Ʒ common stock, as measured under the cash convertible note hedge transactions on each trading day of the relevant cash settlement averaging period or other relevant valuation period, was greater than the strike price of SeriesA 鶹³Ʒ common stock, which corresponded to the conversion price of the Convertible Notes. In connection with the Recapitalization and the entry into the supplemental indenture on April15, 2016, 鶹³Ʒ entered into amendments to the Bond Hedge Transaction with each of the counterparties to reflect the adjustments resulting from the Recapitalization. As of the effective date of the Recapitalization, the Bond Hedge Transaction covered, in the aggregate, 5,271,475 shares of SeriesA 鶹³Ʒ Formula One common stock, 21,085,900 shares of SeriesA 鶹³Ʒ SiriusXM common stock and 2,108,590 shares of SeriesA 鶹³Ʒ Braves common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments pertaining to the Convertible Notes, which was equal to the aggregate number of shares comprising the Securities Basket underlying the Convertible Notes at that time. The aggregate number of shares of SeriesA 鶹³Ʒ Braves common stock relating to the Bond Hedge Transaction was increased to 2,292,037, pursuant to anti-dilution adjustments arising out of the rights distribution (note2). As of December31, 2017, the basket price of the securities underlying the Bond Hedge Transaction was $50.24 per share. The bond hedge expires on October15, 2023 and is included in other assets as of December31, 2017 and 2016 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, with changes in the fair value recorded asunrealized gains (losses) on financial instruments, in the accompanyingconsolidated statements of operations. Concurrently with the Convertible Notes and Bond Hedge Transaction, 鶹³Ʒ also entered into separate privately negotiated warrant transactions under which 鶹³Ʒ sold warrants relating to the same number of shares of common stock as underlie the Bond Hedge Transaction, subject to anti-dilution adjustments (“Warrant Transactions”). The first expiration date of the warrants is January16, 2024 and expire over a period covering 81 days thereafter. 鶹³Ʒ may elect to settle its delivery obligation under the warrant transactions with cash. In connection with the Recapitalization, 鶹³Ʒ entered into amendments to the Warrant Transactions with each of the option counterparties to reflect the adjustments to the Warrant Transactions resulting from the Recapitalization (“Amended Warrant Transactions”). As of the effective date of the Recapitalization, the Amended Warrant Transactions covered, in the aggregate, 5,271,475 shares of SeriesA 鶹³Ʒ Formula One common stock, 21,085,900 shares of SeriesA 鶹³Ʒ SiriusXM common stock and 2,108,590 shares of SeriesA 鶹³Ʒ Braves common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The aggregate number of shares of SeriesA 鶹³Ʒ Braves common stock relating to the Amended Warrant Transactions was increased to 2,292,037 pursuant to anti-dilution adjustments arising out of the rights distribution. The strike price of the warrants was adjusted, as a result of the Recapitalization and the rights offering, to $61.16 per share. As of December31, 2017, the basket price of the securities underlying the Amended Warrant Transactions was $50.24 per share. The Amended Warrant Transactions may have a dilutive effect with respect to the shares comprising the Securities Basket underlying the warrants to the extent that the settlement price exceeds the strike price of the warrants, and the warrants are settled in shares comprising such Securities Basket. 1% Cash Convertible Notes due 2023 In connection with the Second Closing on January23, 2017, 鶹³Ʒ issued $450million convertible cash notes at an interest rate of 1% per annum, which are convertible, under certain circumstances, into cash based on the trading prices of the underlying shares of SeriesC 鶹³Ʒ Formula One common stock and mature on January30, 2023 (the ‘‘1% Convertible Notes’’). The initial conversion rate for the notes will be 27.1091shares of SeriesC 鶹³Ʒ Formula One common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $36.89per share of SeriesC 鶹³Ʒ Formula One common stock. The conversion of the 1% Convertible Notes will be settled solely in cash, and not through the delivery of any securities. As discussed in note5, 鶹³Ʒ used a portion of the net proceeds of the 1% Convertible Notes to fund an increase to the cash consideration payable to the selling shareholders of Formula1 by approximately $400million. 2.25% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2046 On August17, 2016, 鶹³Ʒ closed a private offering of approximately $445million aggregate principal amount of its 2.25% exchangeable senior debentures due 2046 (the “2.25% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2046”). Upon an exchange of debentures, 鶹³Ʒ, at its option, may deliver Time Warner common stock, cash or a combination of Time Warner common stock and cash. The number of shares of Time Warner common stock attributable to a debenture represents an initial exchange price of approximately $104.55 per share. A total of approximately 4.25million shares of Time Warner common stock are attributable to the debentures. Interest is payable quarterly on March31,June30, September30 and December31 of each year, commencing December31, 2016. The debentures may be redeemed by 鶹³Ʒ, in whole or in part, on or after October5, 2021. Holders of the debentures also have the right to require 鶹³Ʒ to purchase their debentures on October5, 2021. The redemption and purchase price will generally equal 100% of the adjusted principal amount of the debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest. The debentures, as well as the associated cash proceeds, were attributed to the Formula One Group. 鶹³Ʒ used the net proceeds of the offering for the acquisition of an investment in Formula1 during September 2016, as further described in note5. 鶹³Ʒ has elected to account for the debentures using the fair value option. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. On October22, 2016, AT&T Inc. (“AT&T”) and Time Warner announced that they entered into a definitive agreement under which AT&T will acquire Time Warner in a stock-and-cash transaction. The transaction is subject to approval by Time Warner shareholders and review by the U.S. Department of Justice, as well as potential review by the FCC. If the acquisition is consummated, in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 2.25% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2046, the cash portion of the acquisition consideration would be paid as an extraordinary additional distribution to holders of debentures and the stock portion of the acquisition consideration would become reference shares attributable to the debentures. Additionally, if the acquisition is consummated, any amount of excess regular quarterly cash dividends paid on the AT&T reference shares would be distributed by the Company to holders of the debentures as an additional distribution.
