October 19, 2010 Indenture for 9.5% Senior Notes due 2018
On October 30, 2014, DineEquity, Inc. (the “Corporation”) repaid the entire outstanding principal amount of the Corporation’s 9.5% senior notes issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated October 19, 2010, among the Corporation, the Guarantor parties thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as trustee. On September 30, 2014, the trustee provided a notice of redemption to the holders of the notes and the Corporation irrevocably deposited in trust with the trustee funds sufficient to repay all amounts owed to the note holders as of the October 30, 2014 redemption date. These amounts included approximately $761 million in outstanding principal, approximately $36 million in accrued interest and a make-whole premium required for early repayment of the senior notes of approximately $36 million. The Corporation’s obligations under the Indenture terminated upon repayment.
The notes issued pursuant to the Indenture were repaid from proceeds received from the Corporation’s previously disclosed securitization refinancing transaction pursuant to which the Corporation issued $1.3 billion of Series 2014-1, Class A-2 Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes. The Corporation has other business relationships with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association including the provision of certain banking services by Wells Fargo Bank to the Corporation.
