Genpact LTD Debt Disclosure

14. Long-term debt

In August 2018, the Company amended its 2015 credit facility (“the 2015 Facility”), which was comprised of an $800,000 term loan and a $350,000 revolving credit facility. The amended facility (the “2018 Facility”) is comprised of a $680,000 term loan, which represents the outstanding balance under the 2015 Facility as of the date of amendment, and a $500,000 revolving credit facility. The 2018 Facility expires on August 8, 2023. The amendment did not result in a substantial modification of $550,814 of the outstanding term loan under the 2015 Facility. Further, as a result of the amendment, the Company extinguished the outstanding term loan under the 2015 Facility of $129,186 and obtained additional funding of $129,186, resulting in no change to the outstanding principal of the term loan under the 2018 Facility. In connection with the amendment, the Company expensed $2,029, representing partial acceleration of the amortization of the existing unamortized debt issuance costs and an additional fee paid to the Company’s lenders related to the term loan. The overall borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility increased from $350,000 to $500,000. The amendment of the revolving credit facility resulted in accelerated amortization of $82 relating to existing unamortized debt issuance cost. The remaining unamortized costs and an additional third party fee paid in connection with the amendment will be amortized over the term of the amended facility, which will expire on August 8, 2023.                       .

Borrowings under the 2018 Facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at the election of the Company, either LIBOR plus an applicable margin equal to 1.375% per annum, compared to a margin of 1.50% under the 2015 facility, or a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 0.375% per annum, compared to a margin of 0.50% under the 2015 facility, in each case subject to adjustment based on the Company’s debt ratings provided by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. Based on the Company’s election and current credit rating, the applicable interest rate is equal to LIBOR plus 1.375% per annum. The amended credit agreement contains certain customary covenants, including a maximum leverage covenant and a minimum interest coverage ratio. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants.

In March 2017, Genpact Luxembourg S.à.r.l. (the “Issuer”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $350,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.70% senior notes in a private offering, resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $348,519, net of an underwriting fee of $1,481. The issuance was fully guaranteed by the Company. In connection with the offering, the Company incurred other debt issuance costs of $1,161. The total debt issuance cost of $2,642 is being amortized over the life of the notes as additional interest expense. As of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018, the amount outstanding under the notes, net of debt amortization expense of $2,239 and $1,713, was $347,761 and $348,287 respectively, which is payable on April 1, 2022. The Issuer will pay interest on the notes semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, ending on the maturity date of April 1, 2022. The Company, at its option, may redeem the notes at any time in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to (i) 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the redeemed amount, and (ii) if the notes are redeemed prior to March 1, 2022, a specified “make-whole” premium. The notes are subject to certain customary covenants, including limitations on the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to incur debt secured by liens, engage in certain sale and leaseback transactions and consolidate, merge, convey or transfer their assets, and during the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company and its applicable subsidiaries were in compliance with the covenants. Upon certain change of control transactions, the Issuer will be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The interest rate payable on the notes is subject to adjustment if the credit rating of the notes is downgraded, up to a maximum increase of 2.0%. In connection with the 3.70% senior notes private offering, the Issuer and the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the outstanding unregistered notes pursuant to which the Issuer and the Company agreed to complete an exchange offer within 455 days after the date of the private offering upon terms identical in all material respects to the terms of the outstanding unregistered notes, except that the transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional interest provisions applicable to the outstanding unregistered notes would not apply to the exchange notes. On July 24, 2018, the unregistered notes exchange offer was completed and all outstanding unregistered notes were exchanged for freely tradable notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
