2.125% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2026
In September 2016, the Company issued $805 million principal amount of 2.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (2.125% Notes). The 2.125% Notes mature on September 1, 2026. However, holders of the 2.125% Notes may convert them at their option during certain time periods and upon the occurrence of one of the following circumstances:
(1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2016 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $8.00 per share of common stock);
(2) during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the Measurement Period) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or
(3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.
On or after June 1, 2026 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election.
The first event described in (1) above was met during the third quarter of 2019 and as a result, the 2.125% Notes are convertible at the option of the holder from October 1, 2019 until December 31, 2019.
During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, the Company converted $126 million principal amount of its 2.125% Notes through the issuance of approximately 16 million shares of the Company's common stock at the conversion price of $8.00 per share and an aggregate cash payment of $14 million. As of September 28, 2019, the Company had $679 million principal of its 2.125% Notes outstanding.
The Company’s current intent is to deliver shares of its common stock upon conversion of the 2.125% Notes. As such, the Company continued to classify the carrying value of the liability component of the 2.125% Notes as long-term debt and the equity component of the 2.125% Notes as permanent equity on its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 28, 2019.
The 2.125% Notes consisted of the following:

Secured Revolving Facility
On June 7, 2019, the Company entered into a secured revolving credit facility for up to $500 million (the Secured Revolving Facility) pursuant to a credit agreement by and among the Company, as borrower, the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the Credit Agreement). The Secured Revolving Facility consists of a $500 million, five-year secured revolving loan facility, including a $50 million swingline subfacility and a $75 million sublimit for letters of credit. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s property, other than intellectual property.
The Credit Agreement also provides the ability to increase the Secured Revolving Facility or incur incremental term loans or other incremental equivalent debt by an amount not to exceed certain amounts as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Company's available borrowings under the Secured Revolving Facility are also subject to reduction by an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of (i) any debt issuances not permitted by the Secured Revolving Facility and (ii) any non-ordinary course asset sales, in excess of $250 million, if such net cash proceeds are not reinvested by the Company within twelve months of receipt.
Borrowings under the Secured Revolving Facility bear interest at a variable rate based upon, at the Company’s option, either at the LIBOR rate, or the base rate (in each case, as customarily defined) plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for LIBOR rate loans ranges, based on an applicable total leverage ratio, from 1.00% to 1.75% per annum and the applicable margin for base rate loans ranges from 0.00% to 0.75% per annum. The Company is required to pay fees on the undrawn portion available under the Secured Revolving Facility and in respect of outstanding letters of credit.
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, as well as a total leverage covenant requiring the Company to maintain a maximum ratio of consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA of 4.00:1.00 and an interest coverage covenant requiring the Company to maintain a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated cash interest expense of 3.00:1.00. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, which if they occur, could result in the termination of commitments under the Secured Revolving Facility, the declaration that all outstanding loans are immediately due and payable in whole or in part and the requirement to maintain cash collateral deposits in respect of outstanding letters of credit.
As of September 28, 2019, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement, and the Company was in compliance with all required covenants under the Credit Agreement. As of September 28, 2019, the Company had $14 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
Secured Revolving Line of Credit
On June 7, 2019, in connection with entering into the Credit Agreement as described above, the Company repaid its outstanding loan balance of $70 million under the secured revolving line of credit (Secured Revolving Line of Credit) and terminated the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of April 14, 2015, as amended (the Agreement) among the Company, a group of lenders, and Bank of America, N.A., acting as agent for the lenders.
