New financing is as follow:
$550 Millions Notes at 8.5%
$350 Millions Notes at 8.75%
Total interest payment on this loan is $77.37 millions which average to 8.6%.
Since CLL is receiving only $864 millions ($36 millions commission cost) the actual interest on the loan is 8.9%.
If you add the interest payments on $100 million convertibles the total interest payment will drop from $102 millions to $82 million dollars. $20 million savings in the short term.
As you may remember my estimation was $900 millions at 8%. Some suggested that this was way to high. Well, I was wrong. It is slightly higher then I anticipated.
