Thread regarding Xerox Corp. layoffs

What's another 100M?

https://investors.xerox.com/node/30471/html

Seems like 800M wasn't quite enough to pay our employees, let's just get another 100M while we are at it.

These are 2nd lien notes. This extra $100 mil goes to paying the debt of and buying Lexmark.

This $500 mil is in escrow, and goes directly to Lexmark and Lexmark lenders when sale is done.

So Note 1 is $400 MM @10% = $40 million. Note 2 is at $500 MM @13.5% = $67.5 MM.

That's $107.5 MM/ year, just in new interest?

Q: Wait, if it's discounted 5% face value, and there is 13.5% interest on the note, the effective rate is something like 18.5% ?!

A: No, here's how it works.
Today: Xerox gets 95% = $95M
2026: Xerox Pays 13.5% Interest = -$13.5M
2027: Xerox Pays 13.5% Interest = -$13.5M
2028: Xerox Pays 13.5% Interest = -$13.5M
2029: Xerox Pays 13.5% Interest = -$13.5M
2030: Xerox Pays 13.5% Interest = -$13.5M
2031: Xerox Pays 13.5% Interest = -$13.5M
2031: Xerox Pays 100% of the debt = -$100M

In other words. Xerox will end up paying $181M over the 6 years. But in return they get $95M today.

This is what people refer to when they call these junk bonds for credit card loans.
