SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024 (this "Quarterly Report") contains certain information that may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. While we have specifically identified certain information as being forward-looking in the context of its presentation, we caution you that all statements contained in this report that are not clearly historical in nature, including statements regarding anticipated financial performance, management's plans and objectives for future operations, business prospects, market conditions, and other matters are forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are contained principally in the sections of this report entitled "Risk Factors," and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, any time we use the words "expects," "intends," "will," "anticipates," "believes," "confident," "continue," "propose," "seeks," "could," "may," "should," "estimates," "forecasts," "might," "goals," "objectives," "targets," "planned," "projects," and similar expressions, we intend to clearly express that the information deals with possible future events and is forward-looking in nature. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

Forward-looking information involves risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in, or reasonably inferred from, such statements, and the risks and uncertainties disclosed or referenced under the heading "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Therefore, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Much of the information in this report that looks toward future performance of the company is based on various factors and important assumptions about future events that may or may not actually occur. As a result, our operations and financial results in the future could differ materially and substantially from those we have discussed in the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report. We assume no obligation (and specifically disclaim any such obligation) to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

 NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. Company Overview, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Rackspace Technology, Inc. ("Rackspace Technology") is a Delaware corporation controlled by investment funds affiliated with Apollo Global Management, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Apollo"). Rackspace Technology was formed on July 21, 2016 but had no assets, liabilities or operating results until November 3, 2016 when Rackspace Hosting, Inc. (now named Rackspace Technology Global, Inc., or "Rackspace Technology Global"), a global provider of modern information technology-as-a-service, was acquired by Inception Parent, Inc., a wholly-owned entity indirectly owned by Rackspace Technology (the "Rackspace Acquisition").

Rackspace Technology Global commenced operations in 1998 as a limited partnership, and was incorporated in Delaware in March 2000. Rackspace Technology serves as the holding company for Rackspace Technology Global and does not engage in any material business or operations other than those related to its indirect ownership of the capital stock of Rackspace Technology Global and its subsidiaries or business or operations otherwise customarily undertaken by a holding company.

For ease of reference, the terms "we," "our company," "the company," "us," or "our" as used in this report refer to Rackspace Technology and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rackspace Technology, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain financial information and disclosures required for financial statements prepared under GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") disclosure rules and regulations that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on March 15, 2024 ("Annual Report"). The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of June 30, 2024, our results of operations and stockholders' equity (deficit) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, and our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, or for any other interim period, or for any other future year.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the allowance for credit losses, useful lives of property, equipment and software, software capitalization, incremental borrowing rates for lease liability measurement, fair values of intangible assets and reporting units, useful lives of intangible assets, share-based compensation, contingencies, and income taxes, among others. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from our estimates.

Liquidity Overview

We are a highly leveraged company. As of June 30, 2024, we had $2,483.7 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under our debt instruments, which are comprised of the first lien first out senior secured term loan facility (the “FLFO Term Loan Facility”), the first lien second out senior secured term loan facility (the “FLSO Term Loan Facility”), the first lien term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility"), 3.50% FLSO Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “3.50% FLSO Senior Secured Notes”), 5.375% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "5.375% Senior Notes"), and 3.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the "3.50% Senior Secured Notes"). We primarily finance our operations and capital expenditures with internally-generated cash from operations and hardware leases, and if necessary, borrowings under the senior secured first lien first out revolving credit facility (the " New Revolving Credit Facility"). As of June 30, 2024, the New Revolving Credit Facility provided for up to $375.0 million of borrowings, none of which was drawn and outstanding as of June 30, 2024. Our primary uses of cash are working capital requirements, debt service requirements and capital expenditures. Based on our current level of operations and available cash and cash equivalents of $190.2 million as of June 30, 2024, we believe our sources will provide sufficient liquidity over at least the next twelve months. We cannot provide assurance, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us under the New Revolving Credit Facility or from other sources in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. Our ability to do so depends on prevailing economic conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our Annual Report includes an additional discussion of the significant accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. There were no material changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2024, except as described below.

Change in Accounting Estimate

In the first quarter of 2024, we completed an assessment of the useful lives of certain assets within the “Computers and equipment” asset class. The timing of this review was based on a combination of factors accumulating over time that provided the company with updated information to make a better estimate on the economic lives of certain property and equipment. These factors included changes in our business model and recent technological advances that have increased efficiencies in how we operate and manage customer gear. The assessment resulted in an increase in the estimated useful life range of the “Computers and equipment” asset class from three-to-five years to five-to-seven years. This change in accounting estimate took effect at the start of the first quarter of 2024. The impact of this change was a reduction in depreciation expense of $12.6 million and $24.8 million and an increase of $0.05 and $0.11 net basic earnings per share compared to previous estimates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

Goodwill, Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets of businesses acquired. Our indefinite-lived intangible asset consists of our Rackspace trade name, which was recorded at fair value on our balance sheet at the date of the Rackspace Acquisition. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are subject to impairment testing on an annual basis as of October 1st or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, regulatory environment, established business plans, operating performance indicators or competition. Potential impairment indicators may also include, but are not limited to, (i) significant changes to estimates and assumptions used in the most recent annual or interim impairment testing, (ii) downward revisions to internal forecasts, and the magnitude thereof, (iii) declines in our market capitalization below our book value, and the magnitude and duration of those declines, (iv) a reorganization resulting in a change to our operating segments, and (v) other macroeconomic factors, such as increases in interest rates that may affect the weighted average cost of capital, volatility in the equity and debt markets, or fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that may negatively impact our reported results of operations.

In connection with the debt refinancing transactions that were completed in March and April 2024, as further described in Note 7, “Debt”, we updated our internal forecasts. Our updated internal forecasts considered our year-to-date operating performance, current customer bookings and revised expectations based on current performance, revisions to our expected growth and timing of such growth based on current and expected performance, current customer retention rates, revisions to the timing of the expected effects of our strategic initiatives and overall related risks, including macroeconomic factors, to achieving our forecasts. Our Board of Directors reviewed and approved our internal budget for fiscal year 2024 on February 28, 2024. As of February 29, 2024, we assessed our Board approved 2024 internal budget along with several events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of our reporting units, including the significance of the amount, if any, of excess carrying value over fair value, consistency of our current and forecasted operating margins and cash flows, budgeted-to-actual performance, timing of the expected effects of our strategic initiatives, overall change in economic climate, changes in the industry and competitive environment, changes to our risk-adjusted discount rates and earnings quality and sustainability. After considering all available evidence in our evaluation of goodwill impairment indicators, we determined it appropriate to perform an interim quantitative assessment of our reporting units as of February 29, 2024.

On January 1, 2023, as a result of the reorganization of our business around a two-business unit operating model, we changed our reportable segments to Private Cloud and Public Cloud. Due to the change in our segment reporting and the allocation of goodwill from our former reporting units to the Public Cloud and Private Cloud reporting units, we completed a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis both prior and subsequent to the aforementioned change. We reassigned goodwill to the updated reporting units using a relative fair value approach. The results of the quantitative goodwill impairment analysis performed as of January 1, 2023 subsequent to the reorganization, indicated an impairment within our Private Cloud reporting unit, and we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $270.8 million in the first quarter of 2023.

During the first quarter of 2023, we experienced a sustained decline in our stock price resulting in our market capitalization being less than the carrying value of our combined reporting units. As of March 31, 2023, we assessed several events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of our reporting units, including the significance of the amount, if any, of excess carrying value over fair value, consistency of operating margins and cash flows, budgeted-to-actual performance for the first three months of the year, overall change in economic climate, changes in the industry and competitive environment, and earnings quality and sustainability. After considering all available evidence in our evaluation of goodwill impairment indicators, we determined it appropriate to perform an interim quantitative assessment of our reporting units as of March 31, 2023.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to as a component). We allocate goodwill to reporting units based on the reporting unit expected to benefit from the business combination. Assets and liabilities are assigned to each of our reporting units if they are employed by a reporting unit and are considered in the determination of the reporting unit fair value. Certain assets and liabilities are shared by multiple reporting units, and thus, are allocated to each reporting unit based on the relative size of a reporting unit, primarily based on revenue. Prior to October 1, 2023, we had two reporting units with goodwill: Public Cloud and Private Cloud. Goodwill allocated to our third reporting unit, OpenStack Public Cloud, was fully impaired during the fourth quarter of 2021. As of October 1, 2023, we reassessed our reporting unit structure and aggregated the OpenStack Public Cloud reporting unit into our Private Cloud reporting unit. We currently have two reporting units: Public Cloud and Private Cloud.

- 11 -
For the interim quantitative goodwill impairment analyses performed, we compare the fair values of each of our reporting units to their respective carrying amounts. The fair values of each of our reporting units were derived using the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow method. The discounted cash flow models reflect our assumptions and considerations regarding revenue growth rates, projected gross profit margins, projected operating costs, projected capital expenditures, risk-adjusted discount rates, terminal period growth rates, and economic market trends. As part of the goodwill impairment test, we also consider our market capitalization in assessing the reasonableness of the combined fair values estimated for our reporting units. Goodwill impairment is measured as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill for that reporting unit.

The results of our quantitative goodwill impairment analysis as of February 29, 2024 indicated an impairment of goodwill within our Public Cloud and Private Cloud reporting units of $385.4 million and $187.8 million, respectively. We recorded these non-cash impairment charges within "Impairment of goodwill" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the first quarter of 2024.

The results of our quantitative goodwill impairment analyses as of January 1, 2023 and March 31, 2023 indicated an impairment of goodwill within our Private Cloud reporting unit, and we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $270.8 million and $272.3 million, respectively, within "Impairment of goodwill" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the first quarter of 2023.

See Note 6, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" for more information.

Our indefinite-lived intangible asset is tested for impairment at the consolidated level. In evaluating the recoverability of the Rackspace trade name, we compare the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount to determine potential impairment. Our estimate of the fair value of the Rackspace trade name is derived using the income approach, specifically the relief-from-royalty method.

Due to the factors discussed in the goodwill analysis above and prior to testing our goodwill for impairment, we performed a quantitative assessment of our indefinite-lived intangible asset as of February 29, 2024. The quantitative assessment performed as of February 29, 2024 indicated the estimated fair value of the Rackspace trade name was less than its carrying value. As a result, we recorded a $20.0 million non-cash impairment charge which is included in "Impairment of assets, net" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the first quarter of 2024.

We performed a quantitative assessment of our indefinite-lived intangible asset prior to testing our goodwill for impairment as of January 1, 2023 and March 31, 2023 which did not indicate any impairment of the Rackspace trade name.

The fair value determination of our reporting units and our indefinite-lived intangible asset is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions that are sensitive to changes. Assumptions include estimation of the royalty rate for the trade name, estimation of future revenue growth rates, projected gross profit margins, projected operating costs, projected capital expenditures, which are dependent on internal cash flow forecasts, estimation of the terminal growth rates and determination of risk-adjusted discount rates. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the quantitative goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment tests will prove to be an accurate prediction of future results. Examples of events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying key assumptions and ultimately impact the estimated fair value of our reporting units may include such items as: (i) volatility in the equity and debt markets or other macroeconomic factors, (ii) an increase in the weighted-average cost of capital due to further increases in interest rates, (iii) decrease in future cash flows due to lower than expected sales, or (iv) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that may negatively impact our reported results of operations. Accordingly, if our current cash flow assumptions are not realized, we experience sustained declines in our stock price or market capitalization, or increases in costs of capital, it is possible that an additional impairment charge may be recorded in the future, which could be material.

Long-lived assets, including operating and finance lease assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured at the asset group level. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, then an impairment charge is recognized in the amount that an asset group's carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

- 12 -
In conjunction with the goodwill impairment analyses as of January 1, 2023, March 31, 2023, and February 29, 2024, we performed recoverability tests of our long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, by comparing the net book value of our long-lived assets or asset groups, to the future undiscounted net cash flows attributable to such assets, which did not result in any impairment charges.

The fair value of our non-financial assets and liabilities, which include goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, are measured on a non-recurring basis. The fair value of our reporting units, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy due to the significant unobservable inputs developed using company-specific information.

3. Sale of Receivables

On September 29, 2023, Rackspace US, Inc. and Rackspace Receivables II, LLC, a bankruptcy-remote special purpose vehicle (“SPV”), each an indirect subsidiary of the company, entered into an accounts receivable purchase agreement with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) and other parties thereto. On February 12, 2024, the accounts receivable purchase agreement was amended to include certain international subsidiaries of the company as parties to the agreement and Rackspace Receivables Canada Limited, a Canadian indirect subsidiary of the company, was established as a SPV.

In connection with accounts receivable sold during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded $5.1 million and $10.9 million of expense, respectively, in “Other income (expense), net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). This expense consisted of $5.0 million and $10.3 million of yield charges and fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.6 million of upfront transaction costs associated with the execution of the agreement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The outstanding portfolio of sold accounts receivable derecognized from our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024 was $223.8 million and $205.8 million, respectively. The SPVs hold unsold accounts receivable of $127.3 million as of June 30, 2024 that are pledged as collateral to PNC.

4. Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic net earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the dilutive effect of potential common share equivalents outstanding during the period as determined under the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share:

In October 2022, we announced our intention to sell our current corporate headquarters facility located in Windcrest, Texas and relocate our corporate headquarters to leased office space in San Antonio, Texas. As such, as of December 31, 2022, this property met the criteria to be classified as held for sale under GAAP and the carrying amount of the property was remeasured each reporting period for changes in the estimated fair value, less cost to sell.

In March 2024, we completed the sale of the property. The property’s estimated fair value, less estimated cost to sell prior to the sale was $16.9 million and we received cash proceeds of $17.5 million, less brokerage and professional fees of $0.6 million, resulting in net cash proceeds of $16.9 million. In connection with the completion of the sale, we paid a $9.0 million early termination fee to certain local governments related to our termination of the Master Economic Incentives Agreement (the “MEIA”) associated with the property. This amount is included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

March 2024 Refinancing Transactions

Private Exchange

On March 12, 2024, we (together with certain of our subsidiaries) closed a private debt exchange (the “Private Exchange”) with (i) holders of the 3.50% Senior Secured Notes (the “Existing Secured Notes”) issued by Rackspace Technology Global (the “Existing Borrower”) representing more than 64% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Existing Secured Notes as of December 31, 2023, and (ii) lenders representing more than 72% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding term loan facility under the First Lien Credit Agreement (the “Existing Term Loans”) as of December 31, 2023.

Pursuant to the Private Exchange, (i) $331.4 million aggregate principal amount of Existing Secured Notes and $1,588.8 million aggregate principal amount of the Existing Term Loans were exchanged or purchased for cancellation and (ii) $267.3 million aggregate principal amount of new first lien second out senior secured notes (the “3.50% FLSO Senior Secured Notes”) and $1,312.0 million aggregate principal amount of new first lien second out senior secured term loans (the “FLSO Term Loan Facility” and the loans thereunder, the “FLSO Term Loans”) were issued by Rackspace Finance, LLC, a new subsidiary of the company (the “New Borrower”).

In addition, the New Borrower issued $275.0 million aggregate principal amount of new first lien first out senior secured term loans (the “FLFO Term Loan Facility” and the loans thereunder, the “FLFO Term Loans”) and we repurchased and cancelled $69.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.375% Senior Notes.

See “New Debt Instruments” below for additional discussion of the new 3.50% FLSO Senior Secured Notes, FLSO Term Loan Facility, and FLFO Term Loan Facility.

Public Exchanges

On March 13, 2024, we launched an offer to all of the holders of the Existing Borrower’s remaining Existing Term Loans (the “Public Term Loan Exchange”). On March 26, 2024, we closed the Public Term Loan Exchange, pursuant to which (i) $529.9 million aggregate principal amount of the Existing Term Loans were exchanged or purchased for cancellation and (ii) $375.1 million aggregate principal amount of FLSO Term Loans was issued by the New Borrower.

- 19 -
On March 14, 2024, we launched an offer to all of the holders of the Existing Borrower’s remaining Existing Secured Notes (the “Public Note Exchange”). On April 16, 2024, we completed the Public Note Exchange, pursuant to which (i) $138.4 million aggregate principal amount of Existing Secured Notes were exchanged or purchased for cancellation and (ii) $96.9 million aggregate principal amount of 3.50% FLSO Senior Secured Notes were issued by the New Borrower.

New Revolving Credit Facility

On March 12, 2024, the New Borrower also established the new first lien first out revolving credit commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $375.0 million (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”). All revolving lenders under the prior Revolving Credit Facility exchanged their revolving loan commitments for commitments in respect of the New Revolving Credit Facility, which replaces in full the prior Revolving Credit Facility. The New Revolving Credit Facility matures on May 15, 2028.

See “New Debt Instruments” below for additional discussion of the New Revolving Credit Facility.

Accounting Impacts

The company performed an assessment of the March 2024 Refinancing Transactions and determined it met the criteria to be accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring under Accounting Standards Codification No. 470-60, Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors. For each series of the Existing Debt Instruments exchanged, the undiscounted cash flows associated with the New Debt Instruments issued were compared to the carrying value of the Existing Debt Instruments exchanged for such New Debt Instruments and the applicable exchange was accounted for as follows: (i) to the extent the undiscounted cash flows of the New Debt Instruments in question were lower than the carrying value of the applicable Existing Debt Instruments exchanged, the carrying value of the applicable New Debt Instruments was established at the total of these undiscounted cash flows, with a gain recorded for the remaining difference between this value and the carrying value of the applicable Existing Debt Instruments (as such, no interest expense will be recorded for the applicable 3.50% FLSO Senior Secured Notes prospectively) and (ii) to the extent the undiscounted cash flows of the New Debt Instruments in question exceeded the carrying value of the applicable Existing Debt Instruments exchanged, the carrying value of the applicable New Debt Instruments was established at the carrying value of the applicable Existing Debt Instruments and the company established new effective interest rates based on the carrying value of the applicable Existing Term Loans prior to the March 2024 Refinancing Transaction.

The difference between the principal amount of the 3.50% FLSO Senior Secured Notes and the carrying value was recorded as a premium and is included in long-term debt on the company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The premium recorded on the 3.50% FLSO Senior Secured Notes was $39.1 million, which will be reduced as contractual interest payments are made on the 3.50% FLSO Senior Secured Notes.

In connection with the March 2024 Refinancing Transactions, the company recorded a gain in the first quarter of 2024 of $56.7 million after deducting third-party costs and lender fees incurred. The gain is included in "Debt modification costs and gain on debt extinguishment" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The company incurred third party fees of $28.4 million.

The March 2024 Refinancing Transactions were completed in April 2024 with the closing of the Public Note Exchange. In connection with the Public Note Exchange, we recorded a $23.3 million gain, after deducting $3.3 million of third-party fees, in the second quarter of 2024. The gain is included in "Debt modification costs and gain on debt extinguishment" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

New Debt Instruments

New Senior Facilities

On March 12, 2024, Rackspace Finance Holdings, LLC (“Rackspace Finance Holdings”), the New Borrower, the lenders and issuing banks party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as the administrative agent and collateral agent, entered into the credit agreement governing the FLSO Term Loan Facility, FLFO Term Loan Facility and New Revolving Credit Facility (together, the “New Senior Facilities”) (the “New First Lien Credit Agreement”).
- 20 -

FLSO Term Loan Facility

The New Borrower issued the FLSO Term Loan Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1,687.2 million. The FLSO Term Loan Facility matures on May 15, 2028. Borrowings under the FLSO Term Loan Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to Term SOFR equal to the forward-looking term rate, based on the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, for the interest period relevant to such borrowing, plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.11% for an interest period of one-month’s duration, 0.26% for an interest period of three-months’ duration, and 0.43% for an interest period of six-months’ duration, subject to a 0.75% floor, plus an applicable margin of 2.75%.

As of June 30, 2024, the contractual interest rate on the FLSO Term Loan Facility was 8.19%. We are required to make quarterly principal payments of $4.2 million, which began on March 31, 2024. See Note 11, “Derivatives,” for information on interest rate swap agreements we utilize to manage the interest rate risk on the FLSO Term Loan Facility.

Affiliates of ABRY Partners, LLC and ABRY Partners II, LLC (collectively, “ABRY”) are FLSO Term Loan Facility lenders under the New First Lien Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding principal amount of the FLSO Term Loan Facility was $1,659.4 million, of which $49.8 million, or 3.0%, is due to ABRY affiliates. Investment funds affiliated with ABRY are also co-investors in Rackspace Technology.

As of June 30, 2024, Apollo Global Management, Inc. also held $80.9 million, or 4.9%, of the outstanding principal amount of the FLSO Term Loan Facility.

Prior to September 12, 2025, the New Borrower may prepay some or all of the FLSO Term Loan Facility, together with accrued and unpaid interest, subject to the applicable “make-whole” premium. On or after September 12, 2025, the New Borrower may prepay some or all of the FLSO Term Loan Facility, together with accrued and unpaid interest, without prepayment premium or penalty.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the New Borrower repurchased and surrendered for cancellation $19.3 million principal amount of the FLSO Term Loan Facility for $9.4 million. In connection with these repurchases, we recorded a gain, included in "Debt modification costs and gain on debt extinguishment", of $14.1 million, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, which includes $4.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs and debt premium write-offs.

The fair value of the FLSO Term Loan Facility as of June 30, 2024 was $730.1 million, based on quoted market prices for identical assets that are traded in over-the-counter secondary markets that are not considered active. The fair value of the FLSO Term Loan Facility is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

The New Borrower is the borrower and all obligations under the FLSO Term Loan Facility are guaranteed on a senior secured basis, jointly and severally, by Rackspace Finance Holdings on a limited-recourse basis and by certain of the New Borrower’s subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). The obligations under the FLSO Term Loan Facility are secured by a pledge of the New Borrower’s capital stock directly held by Rackspace Finance Holdings and substantially all of the New Borrower’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ assets, subject to exceptions.

The FLSO Term Loan Facility contains certain customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants, and events of default.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the New Borrower initiated repurchases of an additional $24.2 million aggregate principal amount of the FLSO Term Loan Facility for $11.2 million. These repurchases subsequently settled on July 15, 2024. As such, this amount is included within current debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2024.

- 21 -
FLFO Term Loan Facility

The New Borrower issued the FLFO Term Loan Facility in an initial aggregate principal amount of $275.0 million. The FLFO Term Loan Facility matures on May 15, 2028. Borrowings under the FLFO Term Loan Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to Term SOFR equal to the forward-looking term rate, based on the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, for the interest period relevant to such borrowing, plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.11% for an interest period of one-month’s duration, 0.26% for an interest period of three-months’ duration, and 0.43% for an interest period of six-months’ duration, subject to a 0.75% floor, plus an applicable margin of 6.25% and were issued with 1.00% of original issue discount.

As of June 30, 2024, the contractual interest rate on the FLFO Term Loan Facility was 11.69%. We are required to make quarterly principal payments of $0.7 million, which began on June 30, 2024. See Note 11, “Derivatives,” for information on interest rate swap agreements we utilize to manage the interest rate risk on the FLFO Term Loan Facility.

Prior to September 12, 2025, the New Borrower may prepay some or all of the FLFO Term Loan Facility, together with accrued and unpaid interest, subject to the applicable “make-whole” premium. On or after September 12, 2025 but prior to September 12, 2027, the New Borrower may prepay some or all of the FLFO Term Loan Facility, together with accrued and unpaid interest, subject to a prepayment fee equal to (x) 3.00% of the principal amount of the FLFO Term Loan Facility so prepaid prior to September 12, 2026 and (y) 1.00% of the principal amount of the FLFO Term Loan Facility so prepaid on or after September 12, 2026 but prior to September 12, 2027. On or after September 12, 2027, the New Borrower may prepay some or all of the FLFO Term Loan Facility, together with accrued and unpaid interest, without prepayment premium or penalty.

The fair value of the FLFO Term Loan Facility as of June 30, 2024 was $276.7 million, based on quoted market prices for identical assets that are traded in over-the-counter secondary markets that are not considered active. The fair value of the FLFO Term Loan Facility is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

The New Borrower is the borrower and all obligations under the FLFO Term Loan Facility are guaranteed on a senior secured basis, jointly and severally, by Rackspace Finance Holdings on a limited-recourse basis and by the Subsidiary Guarantors. The obligations under the FLFO Term Loan Facility are secured by the same collateral that secures the FLSO Term Loan Facility, the New Revolving Credit Facility and the 3.50% FLSO Senior Secured Notes.

The FLFO Term Loan Facility contains certain customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants, and events of default.

New Revolving Credit Facility

The New Borrower established the New Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $375.0 million of commitments. The New Revolving Credit Facility matures on May 15, 2028 and bears interest at an annual rate equal to Term SOFR equal to the forward-looking term rate, based on the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, for the interest period relevant to such borrowing, subject to a 1.00% floor, plus an applicable margin of initially 3.00%. After June 30, 2024, the applicable margin became subject to a net first lien leverage-based pricing grid as set forth in the New First Lien Credit Agreement. In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal under the New Revolving Credit Facility, the New Borrower is required to pay a commitment fee equal to initially 0.50% per annum to the lenders under the New Revolving Credit Facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. After June 30, 2024, the commitment fee became subject to a net first lien leverage-based pricing grid as set forth in the New First Lien Credit Agreement. The New Borrower may prepay loans incurred under the New Revolving Credit Facility, together with accrued and unpaid interest, without prepayment premium or penalty.

The New Borrower is the borrower and all obligations under the New Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed on a senior secured basis, jointly and severally, by Rackspace Finance Holdings on a limited-recourse basis and by the Subsidiary Guarantors. The obligations under the New Revolving Credit Facility are secured by the same collateral that secures the FLSO Term Loan Facility, the FLFO Term Loan Facility and the 3.50% FLSO Senior Secured Notes.

The New Revolving Credit Facility contains certain customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants, and events of default. In addition, the New Revolving Credit Facility contains a financial covenant which limits the super-priority net senior secured leverage ratio to a maximum of 5.00 to 1.00; however, this covenant is only applicable and tested if the aggregate amount of outstanding borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility and letters of credit issued thereunder (excluding $25.0 million of undrawn letters of credit and cash collateralized letters of credit) as of the last day of a fiscal quarter is greater than 35% of the New Revolving Credit Facility commitments as of the last day of such fiscal quarter.

As of June 30, 2024, we had total commitments of $375.0 million, no outstanding borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility, and $23.5 million of letters of credit issued thereunder. As such, as of June 30, 2024, we had $375.0 million of available commitments remaining.

As of June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants under the New Senior Facilities.

The 3.50% FLSO Senior Secured Notes Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur certain additional debt, incur certain liens securing debt, pay certain dividends or make other restricted payments, make certain investments, make certain asset sales and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions, limitations, and qualifications as set forth in the 3.50% FLSO Senior Secured Notes Indenture. Additionally, upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the 3.50%FLSO Senior Secured Notes Indenture), we will be required to make an offer to repurchase all of the outstanding 3.50% FLSO Senior Secured Notes at a price in cash equal to 101.000% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including the purchase date.

Existing Debt Instruments

Senior Facilities

Our senior secured credit facilities include the Term Loan Facility and the prior Revolving Credit Facility (together, the "Senior Facilities").

On February 9, 2021, we amended and restated the credit agreement governing our Senior Facilities (the "First Lien Credit Agreement"), which included a seven-year $2,300.0 million senior secured first lien term loan facility due on February 15, 2028 and our existing $375.0 million Revolving Credit Facility.

On April 26, 2023, we executed an amendment to our First Lien Credit Agreement to establish Term SOFR as the benchmark rate for determining the applicable interest rate, replacing LIBOR.

As a result of the amendment, borrowings under the Senior Facilities bear interest at an annual rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at our option, either (a) Term SOFR equal to the forward-looking term rate, based on the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, for the interest period relevant to such borrowing, plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.11% for an interest period of one-month's duration, 0.26% for an interest period of three-months' duration, and 0.43% for an interest period of six-months' duration, subject to a 0.75% floor, in the case of the Term Loan Facility, and a 1.00% floor, in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility, or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. and (iii) adjusted Term SOFR for a one-month tenor plus 1.00%.

The applicable margin for the Term Loan Facility is 2.75% for SOFR loans and 1.75% for base rate loans and the applicable margin for the Revolving Credit Facility is 3.00% for SOFR loans and 2.00% for base rate loans. Interest is due at the end of each interest period elected, not exceeding 90 days, for SOFR loans and at the end of every calendar quarter for base rate loans.

All other material terms and conditions of the First Lien Credit Agreement were unchanged.

As a result of the Private Exchange and the Public Term Loan Exchange, discussed within “March 2024 Refinancing Transactions” above, over 97% of the $2,181.2 million aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan Facility outstanding as of December 31, 2023 was exchanged or purchased for cancellation.

In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal under the Senior Facilities, the Revolving Credit Facility also includes a commitment fee equal to 0.50% per annum in respect of the unused commitments that is due quarterly. This commitment fee is subject to one step-down based on the net first lien leverage ratio.

As of June 30, 2024, the contractual interest rate on the Term Loan Facility was 8.19%. We are required to make quarterly principal payments of $0.2 million. See Note 11, “Derivatives,” for information on interest rate swap agreements we utilize to manage the interest rate risk on the Term Loan Facility.

In addition to the quarterly amortization payments discussed above, the Senior Facilities require us to make certain mandatory prepayments, including using (i) a portion of annual excess cash flow, as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement, to prepay the Term Loan Facility, (ii) net cash proceeds of certain non-ordinary assets sales or dispositions of property to prepay the Term Loan Facility and (iii) net cash proceeds of any issuance or incurrence of debt not permitted under the Senior Facilities to prepay the Term Loan Facility. We may make voluntary prepayments at any time without penalty.

The fair value of the Term Loan Facility as of June 30, 2024 was $28.9 million, based on quoted market prices for identical assets that are traded in over-the-counter secondary markets that are not considered active. The fair value of the Term Loan Facility is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

The only financial covenant was with respect to the prior Revolving Credit Facility. As discussed in “March 2024 Refinancing Transactions” above, on March 12, 2024, all revolving lenders under the prior Revolving Credit Facility exchanged their revolving loan commitments for commitments in respect of the New Revolving Credit Facility, which replaces in full the prior Revolving Credit Facility. See “New Revolving Credit Facility” above for information regarding this new debt instrument.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

We have contingencies that arise from various litigation, claims and commitments, none of which we consider to be material.

From time to time, we are a party to various claims asserting that certain of our services and technologies infringe the intellectual property rights of others. Adverse results in these lawsuits may include awards of substantial monetary damages, costly royalty or licensing agreements, or orders preventing us from offering certain features, products, or services, and may also cause us to change our business practices and require development of non-infringing products or technologies, which could result in a loss of revenue for us or otherwise harm our business.

We record an accrual for a loss contingency when a loss is considered probable and reasonably estimable. As additional facts concerning a loss contingency become known, we reassess our position and make appropriate adjustments to a recorded accrual. The amount that will ultimately be paid related to a matter may differ from the recorded accrual, and the timing of such payments, if any, may be uncertain.

We are not a party to any litigation, the outcome of which, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of operations.

Headquarters Lease

In February 2023, we signed an agreement to lease approximately 93,000 square feet of office space in San Antonio, Texas, which will serve as our new corporate headquarters. The initial lease term is 11 years, with three 5-year renewal options. In addition to monthly base rent, we will also pay a share of common area maintenance and operating expenses. The lease commenced in the second quarter of 2024.

9. Share-Based Compensation

On April 22, 2024, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Rackspace Technology, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2020 Incentive Plan") to increase the maximum number of shares of our common stock available for issuance under the 2020 Incentive Plan from 57.9 million shares to 87.9 million shares, subject to stockholder approval. The amendment was subsequently approved by our stockholders as part of the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 14, 2024.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we granted 9.5 million restricted stock units ("RSUs") under the 2020 Incentive Plan with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $1.85. The majority of the RSUs were granted as part of our annual compensation award process and vest ratably over a three-year period, subject to continued service.

In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, 0.6 million performance stock units ("PSUs") were granted under the 2020 Incentive Plan with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $2.78. The PSUs represent the target amount of grants, and the actual number of shares awarded upon vesting may vary depending upon the achievement of the relevant market condition which is based on Rackspace's Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") relative to the TSR of a comparator group of IT and Cloud Services Companies. The awards are eligible to vest in equal annual installments over three years based on the attainment of the market condition and the employee's continued service through the end of the applicable measurement period and were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation.

Lastly, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we granted 31.8 million long-term incentive cash units (“LTIC units”) under the 2020 Incentive Plan. The awards were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation and as of June 30, 2024 the LTIC units had a weighted average fair value of $0.98. The LTIC units represent the target amount of grants, and the actual number of units awarded upon vesting may vary depending upon the achievement of the relevant market condition which is based on the performance of our common stock. The awards are eligible to vest in equal installments over three years based on the attainment of the market condition and the employee’s continued service through the vesting date. As the company intends to settle the LTIC units in cash, they were classified as liabilities within “Other current liabilities” and “Other non-current liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Total share-based compensation expense is comprised of the following equity and liability classified award amounts:

Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions)2023202420232024
Equity classified awards$18.6 $13.0 $33.3 $26.0 
Liability classified awards0.9 6.5 1.4 6.3 
Total share-based compensation expense$19.5 $19.5 $34.7 $32.3 

Total share-based compensation expense recognized was as follows: 
Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions)2023202420232024
Cost of revenue$2.6 $2.0 $5.4 $3.9

Less: Income tax benefit(4.1)(4.1)(7.3)(6.8)
Total share-based compensation expense, net of tax$15.4 $15.4 $27.4 $25.5 

As of June 30, 2024, there was $60.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options, RSUs, and PSUs, which will be recognized using the service period or over our best estimate of the period over which the performance condition will be met, as applicable.

10. Taxes

We are subject to U.S. federal income tax and various state, local, and international income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. The differences between our effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% generally result from various factors, including the geographical distribution of taxable income, tax credits, contingency reserves for uncertain tax positions, and permanent differences between the book and tax treatment of certain items. Additionally, the amount of income taxes paid is subject to our interpretation of applicable tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we file. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, our effective tax rate is lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the tax impact associated with changes in the valuation allowance and the additional second quarter impact of the March 2024 Refinancing Transactions which were completed in April 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, our effective tax rate is lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the tax impact associated with changes in the valuation allowance related to disallowed interest, the tax impact associated with the goodwill impairment recorded in the first quarter of 2024, the majority of which was nondeductible for income tax purposes, and the tax impact of the March 2024 Refinancing Transactions discussed below. The tax impact of the March 2024 Refinancing Transactions include excluded cancellation of indebtedness income (“CODI”), federal and state attribution reduction and changes in valuation allowance. In December 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (the “OECD”) issued model rules for a new global minimum tax framework (Pillar Two). Governments in many of the countries where we operate have issued, or are in the process of issuing, legislation on this rule. We are currently evaluating, but do not expect this rule to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

As a result of the March 2024 Refinancing Transactions, discussed in Note 7, “Debt”, specifically upon the completion of the Private Exchange and Public Term Loan Exchange in March 2024, and the completion of the Public Note Exchange in April 2024, the company realized CODI for US tax purposes of $531.5 million and $80.5 million, respectively, for a total $612.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 108, an insolvent debtor may exclude CODI from taxable income to the extent of the debtor’s insolvency (liabilities greater than the fair value of its assets) but must reduce its tax attributes, subject to certain limitations and according to prescribed ordering rules, based on the amount of CODI excluded from taxable income. The company currently estimates that the level of its insolvency (as defined for US Tax purposes) exceeds the amount of CODI resulting from the March 2024 Refinancing Transactions, such that all resulting CODI will be excluded from the company’s taxable income.

The process for determining the amount of tax attribute reduction is complex and the actual reduction to attributes does not occur until the first day of the company’s tax year subsequent to the date of the discharge event, or January 1, 2025. Therefore, the estimated impact of the tax attribute reduction from the March 2024 Refinancing Transactions is subject to change until the finalization of the company’s tax returns for the year ending December 31, 2024.

For purposes of determining the interim tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2024, the company estimates that all its federal (and certain of its state) net operating loss and tax credit carryovers will be eliminated resulting from the tax attribute reduction for excluded CODI. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the company recorded an income tax benefit of $88.0 million related to the total effects of the March 2024 Refinancing Transactions, including excluded CODI, federal and state tax attribute reduction, and resulting changes in valuation allowance. The total income tax benefit recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2024 was a tax benefit of $34.6 million which includes the $88.0 million tax benefit from the March 2024 Refinancing Transactions.

11. Derivatives

We utilize derivative instruments, including interest rate swap agreements, to manage our exposure to interest rate risk. We only hold such instruments for economic hedging purposes, not for speculative or trading purposes. Our derivative instruments are transacted only with highly-rated institutions, which reduces our exposure to credit risk in the event of nonperformance.

Interest Rate Swaps

We are exposed to interest rate risk associated with fluctuations in interest rates on the floating-rate Term Loan Facility, FLSO Term Loan Facility, and FLFO Term Loan Facility. The objective in using interest rate derivatives is to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we have entered into interest rate swap agreements as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

On January 9, 2020, we designated certain of our swaps as cash flow hedges. On the designation date, the cash flow hedges were in a $39.9 million liability position. The cash flow hedges were expected to be highly effective on the designation date and, on a quarterly basis, we performed retrospective and prospective regression assessments to determine whether the cash flow hedges continue to be highly effective. As long as the cash flow hedges are highly effective, changes in fair value are recorded to "Accumulated other comprehensive income" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and reclassified to "Interest expense" in the period when the underlying transaction affects earnings. The income tax effects of cash flow hedges are released from "Accumulated other comprehensive income" in the period when the underlying transaction affects earnings. Any stranded income tax effects are released from "Accumulated other comprehensive income" into "Benefit for income taxes" under the portfolio approach.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we completed a series of transactions to modify our interest rate swap positions as follows: (i) All the interest rate swaps outstanding as of December 31, 2020, with the exception of the agreement that matured on February 3, 2021, were de-designated as cash flow hedges on January 31, 2021, (ii) on February 12, 2021, we entered into a $900.0 million receive-fixed interest rate swap which was designed to offset the terms of two December 2016 swaps, and (iii) on February 12, 2021, we terminated all December 2018 swaps and entered into a $1.35 billion pay-fixed interest rate swap, effectively blending the liability position of our existing interest rate swap agreements into the new swap and extending the term of our hedged position to February 2026.

The amount remaining in "Accumulated other comprehensive income" for the de-designated December 2016 and December 2018 swaps at the de-designation date was approximately $51.6 million, and is amortized as an increase to "Interest expense" over the effective period of the original swap agreements.

The new receive-fixed interest rate swap qualifies as a hybrid instrument in accordance with ASC No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging, consisting of a loan and an embedded derivative for which the fair value option has been elected. This $900.0 million swap remained undesignated to economically offset the undesignated December 2016 swaps. This new swap and the December 2016 swaps matured on February 3, 2022. Cash settlements related to this receive-fixed interest rate swap offset and are classified as operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The new pay-fixed interest rate swap also qualifies as a hybrid instrument in accordance with ASC No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging, consisting of a loan and an embedded at-market derivative that was designated as a cash flow hedge. The loan is accounted for at amortized cost over the life of the swap while the embedded at-market derivative is accounted for at fair value. The $1.35 billion swap was originally indexed to three-month LIBOR and net settled on a quarterly basis with the counterparty for the difference between the fixed rate of 2.3820% and the variable rate based upon three-month LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.75%) as applied to the notional amount of the swap. In connection with the transactions discussed above, no cash was exchanged between us and the counterparty. The liability of the terminated interest rate swaps as well as the inception value of the receive-fixed interest rate swap was blended into the new pay-fixed interest rate swap. The cash flows related to the portion treated as debt will be classified as financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows while the portion treated as an at-market derivative will be classified as operating activities.

As discussed in Note 7, "Debt", on April 26, 2023 we executed an amendment to our First Lien Credit Agreement, which governs borrowings under our Term Loan Facility. This amendment established Term SOFR as the benchmark rate for determining the applicable interest rate, replacing LIBOR. To continue to manage our exposure to interest rate risk associated with our Term Loan Facility, effective May 9, 2023, we amended our remaining swap agreement to change the index from three-month LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.75%) to one-month Term SOFR (subject to a floor of 0.75%). The fixed rate also changed from 2.3820% to 2.34150% as a result of the swap agreement amendment.

On a monthly basis, we net settle with the counterparty for the difference between the fixed rate of 2.34150% and the variable rate based upon the one-month Term SOFR (subject to a floor of 0.75%) as applied to the notional amount of the swap.

In conjunction with the March 2024 Refinancing Transactions, as discussed in Note 7, “Debt”, we issued additional borrowings and used the proceeds to repay previously hedged borrowings under the Term Loan Facility. Given that the specific intent of the new borrowings was a replacement of the previously hedged borrowings and the economic characteristics were the same, we continue to apply hedge accounting on the replacement borrowings.

As of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024, the cash flow hedge was highly effective.
