The information included in Item 2.03 below is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On October 20, 2006, Realogy Corporation (Realogy) issued $1.2 billion aggregate principal
amount of senior notes (the Notes). The Notes were comprised of three series: $250 million of
floating rate senior notes due October 20, 2009 (the 2009 Notes), $450 million of senior notes
due October 15, 2011 (the 2011 Notes), and $500 million of senior notes due October 15, 2016 (the
2016 Notes). The terms of the Notes are governed by an indenture, dated as of October 20, 2006
(the Indenture), by and between Realogy and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee.
The 2009 Notes have an interest rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 0.70%, payable quarterly
on January 20, April 20, July 20 and October 20 of each year, beginning on January 22, 2007. The
2011 Notes have a fixed interest rate of 6.15% per annum; and the 2016 Notes have a fixed interest
rate of 6.50% per annum. Interest on the 2011 Notes and 2016 Notes will be payable semi-annually
on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2007. The interest rates payable
on the Notes will be subject to adjustment from time to time if either of the debt ratings
applicable to the Notes is downgraded to a non-investment grade rating. Realogy will be required
to pay additional interest, subject to some limitations, on the Notes if it fails to comply with
certain obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below).
The 2009 Notes will be redeemable at any time from their date of issuance to and including
October 21, 2007 at a make whole price specified in the 2009 Notes, and at any time on or after
October 22, 2007 at 100% of their principal amount. The 2011 Notes and the 2016 Notes will be
redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time at the make-whole redemption prices specified in the
2011 Notes and 2016 Notes, respectively.
If Realogy experiences specific kinds of changes in control and each of the debt ratings on
the Notes is non-investment grade on any date within a specified period of time following the
public notice of an arrangement that could result in a change of control, Realogy will be required
to offer to repurchase the notes at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid
interest.
Under the Indenture, events of default include: (1) a default in payment of the principal
amount or redemption price with respect to any Note of such series when such amount becomes due and
payable, (2) Realogys failure to pay interest (including additional interest) on any Note of such
series within 30 days of when such amount becomes due and payable, (3) Realogys failure to comply
with any of its covenants or agreements in the Indenture or the Notes of such series and its
failure to cure (or obtain a waiver of) such default and such failure continues for 90 days after
proper written notice is given to Realogy, (4) with certain exceptions, a default under any debt by
Realogy or its significant subsidiaries that results in acceleration of the maturity of such debt,
or failure to pay any such debt at maturity, in an aggregate amount greater than $100.0 million or
its foreign currency equivalent at the time, and (5) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization affecting Realogy or any of its significant subsidiaries. In the case of an event
of default, the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, may be
accelerated.
In connection with the sale of the Notes, Realogy entered into a Registration Rights
Agreement,
2
dated October 20, 2006 (the Registration Rights Agreement), with J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and
Barclays Capital Inc., as representatives of the initial purchasers named therein. Under the
Registration Rights Agreement, Realogy has agreed to make an offer to exchange each series of Notes
for substantially similar notes that are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the Securites Act). If the exchange offers are not available or cannot be completed or some
holders are not able to participate in the exchange offers for one or more series of Notes, Realogy
has agreed to file a shelf registration statement to cover resales of the Notes under the
Securities Act. If Realogy does not comply with these obligations within specified time periods,
it will be required to pay additional interest on the Notes.
The description of the Notes, the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement in this
report are summaries and are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the Indenture, the forms
of the Notes and the Registration Rights Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4
