SUPPLEMENTARY GUARANTOR INFORMATION
NOTE 23 - SUPPLEMENTARY GUARANTOR INFORMATION
The accompanying condensed consolidating financial information has been prepared and presented pursuant to SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 3-10, “Financial Statements of Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities Registered or Being Registered.” Certain of our subsidiaries have guaranteed the obligations under the $1.075 billion 5.75% 2025 Senior Notes issued by ǿմý Inc. See NOTE 5 - DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES for further information.
The following presents the condensed consolidating financial information for: (i)the Parent Company and the Issuer of the guaranteed obligations (ǿմý Inc.); (ii)the Guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis; (iii)the non-guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis; (iv)consolidating eliminations; and (v)ǿմý Inc. and Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. Each Guarantor subsidiary is 100% owned by the Parent Company as of December 31, 2017. The condensed consolidating financial information is presented as if the Guarantor structure at December 31, 2017 existed for all years presented. As a result, the Guarantor subsidiaries within the condensed consolidating financial information as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 and for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 include results of subsidiaries that were previously less than wholly-owned and were historically non-guarantors until 100% ownership was obtained.
Each of the Guarantor subsidiaries fully and unconditionally guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the obligations of ǿմý Inc. under the $1.075 billion 5.75% 2025 Senior Notes. The guarantee of a Guarantor subsidiary will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and such Guarantor subsidiary’s obligations under the guarantee and the related indenture governing the $1.075 billion 5.75% 2025 Senior Notes (the “Indenture”) will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, upon:
(a) any sale, exchange, transfer or disposition of such Guarantor subsidiary (by merger, consolidation, or the sale of) or the capital stock of such Guarantor subsidiary after which the applicable Guarantor subsidiary is no longer a subsidiary of the Company or the sale of all or substantially all of such Guarantor subsidiary’s assets (other than by lease);
(b) upon designation of any Guarantor subsidiary as an “excluded subsidiary” (as defined in the Indenture); and
(c) upon defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture.
Each entity in the consolidating financial information follows the same accounting policies as described in the consolidated financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidating financial information has been presented on the equity method of accounting for all periods presented. Under this method, investments in subsidiaries are recorded at cost and adjusted for the subsidiaries’ cumulative results of operations, capital contributions and distributions, and other changes in equity. Elimination entries include consolidating and eliminating entries for investments in subsidiaries, and intra-entity activity and balances.
