2021 Term Loan Credit Agreement

On February 5, 2021, the Company entered into a term loan credit agreement (the “2021 Term Loan Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto from time to time (collectively, the “2021 Lenders”). The 2021 Term Loan Credit Agreement provided the Company with a facility to borrow a term loan on an unsecured basis in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.00 billion (the “2021 Term Loan”). The Company borrowed $1.00 billion on February 26, 2021 under the 2021 Term Loan, and the loan matures on February 26, 2024. The proceeds of borrowings under the 2021 Term Loan Credit Agreement were used to finance a portion of the purchase price for the Wrike acquisition. See Note 6 for detailed information on the Wrike acquisition.

Borrowings under the 2021 Term Loan Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to (a) either (i) a customary LIBOR formula or, upon a phase-out of LIBOR, an alternative benchmark rate as provided in the 2021 Term Loan Credit Agreement, or (ii) a customary base rate formula, plus (b) the applicable margin with respect thereto, which initially was determined based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The Company made an election to base the applicable margin on the Company’s non-credit enhanced, senior unsecured long-term debt rating as determined by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor’s Financial Services, LLC and Fitch Ratings Inc., in each case as set forth in the 2021 Term Loan Credit Agreement effective in the third quarter of 2021.

The 2021 Term Loan Credit Agreement includes a covenant limiting the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio to not more than 4.0:1.0, subject to a mandatory step-down after the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022 to 3.75:1.0, and further subject to, upon the occurrence of a qualified acquisition in any quarter on or after the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022, if so elected by the Company, a step-up to 4.25:1.0 for the four fiscal quarters following such qualified acquisition. The 2021 Term Loan Credit Agreement also includes a covenant limiting the Company’s consolidated interest coverage ratio to not less than 3.0:1.0. The 2021 Term Loan Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, with corresponding grace periods in certain circumstances, including, without limitation, payment defaults, cross-defaults, the occurrence of a change of control of the Company and bankruptcy-related defaults. The 2021 Lenders are entitled to accelerate repayment of the loans under the 2021 Term Loan Credit Agreement upon the occurrence of any of the events of default. In addition, the 2021 Term Loan Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict the ability of the Company to grant liens, merge or consolidate, dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, change its business and incur subsidiary indebtedness, in each case subject to customary exceptions. The 2021 Term Loan Credit Agreement also contains representations and warranties customary for an unsecured financing of this type. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2022.

Certain 2021 Lenders and/or their affiliates have provided and may continue to provide commercial banking, investment management and other services to the Company, its affiliates and employees, for which they receive customary fees and commissions.

Term Loan Credit Agreement

On January 21, 2020, the Company entered into a term loan credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) that provides the Company with facilities to borrow term loans on an unsecured basis in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.00 billion, consisting of (i) a $500.0 million 364-day term loan facility (the “364-day Term Loan”), and (ii) a $500.0 million 3-year term loan (the “3-year Term Loan”), in each case in a single borrowing, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the

Term Loan Credit Agreement. On January 30, 2020, the Company borrowed $1.00 billion under the term loans and used the proceeds to enter into accelerated share repurchase transactions for an aggregate of $1.00 billion.

Borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to (a) either (i) LIBOR or, upon a phase-out of LIBOR, an alternative benchmark rate as provided in the Term Loan Credit Agreement, or (ii) a customary base rate formula, plus (b) the applicable margin with respect thereto, which initially was determined based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The Company made an election to base the applicable margin on the Company’s non-credit enhanced, senior unsecured long-term debt rating as set forth in the Term Loan Credit Agreement effective in the second quarter of 2021.

On February 5, 2021, the Company entered into the first amendment to the Term Loan Credit Agreement, which amends, among other things, the covenant limiting the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. After giving effect to the amendment, the covenant limiting the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio will be consistent with the covenant limiting the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio in the 2021 Term Loan Credit Agreement, and will be limited to not more than 4.0:1.0, subject to a mandatory step-down after the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022 under the 2021 Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Leverage Ratio Step-Down”) to 3.75:1.0, and further subject to, upon the occurrence of a qualified acquisition in any quarter on or after the fifth fiscal quarter ending after the Leverage Ratio Step-Down, if so elected by the Company, a step-up to 4.25:1.0 for the four fiscal quarters following such qualified acquisition. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2022.

Senior Notes

On February 18, 2021, the Company issued $750.0 million of unsecured senior notes due March 1, 2026. The 2026 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 1.250% per annum. Interest on the 2026 Notes is due semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2021. The net proceeds from this offering were $741.4 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses payable by the Company. Net proceeds from this offering were used to fund a portion of the purchase price for the Wrike acquisition. The 2026 Notes will mature on March 1, 2026, unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms prior to such date.

On February 25, 2020, the Company issued $750.0 million of unsecured senior notes due March 1, 2030. The 2030 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 3.300% per annum. Interest on the 2030 Notes is due semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year. The 2030 Notes will mature on March 1, 2030, unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms prior to such date.

On November 15, 2017, the Company issued $750.0 million of unsecured senior notes due December 1, 2027. The 2027 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 4.500% per annum. Interest on the 2027 Notes is due semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The 2027 Notes will mature on December 1, 2027, unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms prior to such date.

Each of the 2026 Notes, 2030 Notes and 2027 Notes are individually redeemable in whole or from time to time in part at the Company’s option, subject to a make-whole premium. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain change of control triggering events prior to maturity, holders of the notes may require the Company to repurchase the notes for cash at a repurchase price of 101% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

Credit Facility

On November 26, 2019, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a group of financial institutions, which amends and restates the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated January 7, 2015. The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year unsecured revolving credit facility in the aggregate amount of $250.0 million, subject to continued covenant compliance. The Company may elect to increase the revolving credit facility by up to $250.0 million if existing or new lenders provide additional revolving commitments in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. A portion of the revolving line of credit (i) in the aggregate amount of $25.0 million may be available for issuances of letters of credit and (ii) in the aggregate amount of $10.0 million may be available for swing line loans, as part of, not in addition to, the aggregate revolving commitments. The credit facility bears interest at a rate equal to (a) either (i) LIBOR or, upon a phase-out of LIBOR, an alternative benchmark rate as provided in the Credit Agreement, or (ii) a customary base rate formula, plus (b) the applicable margin with respect thereto, which initially was determined based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The Company made an election to base the applicable margin on the Company’s long-term debt rating as set forth in the Credit Agreement effective in the second quarter of 2021. In addition, the Company is required to pay a quarterly facility fee ranging from 0.11% to 0.20% of the aggregate revolving commitments under the credit facility and based on the ratio of the Company’s

total debt to the Company’s consolidated EBITDA or long-term credit rating. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no amounts were outstanding under the credit facility.

On February 5, 2021, the Company entered into the first amendment to the Credit Agreement, which amends, among other things, the covenant limiting the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. After giving effect to the amendment, the covenant limiting the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio will be consistent with the covenant limiting the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio in the 2021 Term Loan Credit Agreement, and will be limited to not more than 4.0:1.0, subject to a mandatory step-down after the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022 (or such earlier date as the Company may elect by written notice to Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent) under the 2021 Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Leverage Ratio Step-Down”) to 3.75:1.0, and further subject to, upon the occurrence of a qualified acquisition in any quarter on or after the fifth fiscal quarter ending after the Leverage Ratio Step-Down, if so elected by the Company, a step-up to 4.25:1.0 for the four fiscal quarters following such qualified acquisition. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2022.

Bridge Facility and Take-Out Facility Commitment Letter

On January 16, 2021, the Company entered into a bridge facility and take-out facility commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) pursuant to which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (1) committed to provide a senior unsecured 364-day term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.45 billion to finance the cash consideration for the Wrike acquisition in the event that the permanent debt financing was not available on or prior to the Closing Date and (2) agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to assemble a syndicate of lenders to provide the necessary commitments for the senior term loan facility. The commitments under the Commitment Letter were permanently reduced to zero on February 18, 2021, as a result of (i) the effectiveness of the 2021 Term Loan Credit Agreement and (ii) the completion of the issuance of the 2026 Notes. In connection with the Commitment Letter, the Company incurred $5.4 million in issuance costs that were expensed in the first quarter of 2021 and are included in Interest expense in the accompanying condensed statements of income.
