On February 16, 2012, NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) (“NXP”) announced that its subsidiary, NXP B.V., together with NXP Funding LLC, has concluded a new USD 475 million Senior Secured Term Loan Facility due 2019. The transaction is scheduled to close on or before March 19, 2012. The new loan has a seven year maturity, has margins of 4% above LIBOR, with a LIBOR floor of 1.25%, and was priced at 98.5% of par. The covenants of the term loan substantially correspond to those contained in NXP’s existing secured notes and credit facilities. The joint-lead arrangers and joint bookrunners on the transaction were Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. and BofA Merrill Lynch.

NXP separately announced that it intends to issue redemption notices for all of its outstanding Euro-denominated 8 5/8% Senior Notes due October 2015 and USD denominated 9 1/2% Senior Notes due October 2015, for a total amount of approximately USD 775 million. The redemptions will be conditional on the receipt of proceeds from the new term loan facility.
