Business Context and Reporting Period
This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed by TransUnion on May 18, 2015. The filing discloses a planned conference call with potential lenders to discuss amendments to senior credit facilities and a potential refinancing of existing indebtedness, contingent upon the closing of the Company's pending initial public offering (IPO).
Key Financial Metrics and Capital Structure
The filing outlines specific debt instruments and proposed financing terms rather than operational financial results:
- Existing Debt to be Redeemed: $600 million aggregate principal of 9.625%/10.375% Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2018 and $400 million aggregate principal of 8.125%/8.875% Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2018.
- Proposed New Facilities: A $210 million revolving credit facility due 2020 and a new term loan between $325 million and $350 million due 2020.
- Use of Proceeds: Proceeds from the new term loan and the IPO are intended to redeem the existing Senior PIK Toggle Notes and pay associated fees, expenses, and premiums.
The filing text does not provide clear values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, or current liquidity positions.
Material Changes and Outlook
Management proposes to modify the pricing and terms of existing term loans and enter into new senior secured credit facilities. This refinancing is conditioned on the successful consummation of the IPO. There is no assurance that the refinancing or IPO will be completed on favorable terms or in a timely manner, as they are subject to market conditions and the negotiation of definitive documentation.
Risks and Contingencies
The report contains forward-looking statements subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from expectations. Key risks include the failure to consummate the IPO or the refinancing on favorable terms. The Company does not undertake to update these forward-looking statements to reflect future events.
