On July 12, 2013, ATI issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”). Interest on the 2023 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears at a rate of 5.875% per year and will mature on August 15, 2023, unless redeemed or repurchased earlier. The interest rate payable on the 2023 Notes is subject to adjustment in the event of a change in the credit ratings on the 2023 Notes. A downgrade of the Company's credit ratings could result in an increase to the interest cost with respect to the 2023 Notes. The Company will use net proceeds from the offering of the 2023 Notes for general corporate purposes which may include repurchases, repayment or refinancing of debt, capital expenditures, additions to working capital, the financing of future acquisitions or strategic combinations.
In May and September 2013, the Company amended its $400 million senior unsecured domestic revolving credit facility to, among other things, extend the expiration date of the commitments of the lenders thereunder to May 31, 2018 and to modify the maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio permitted under the facility. Under the terms of the facility, the Company may increase the size of the credit facility by up to $100 million without seeking the further approval of the lending group. As amended, the facility requires the Company to maintain a leverage ratio (consolidated total indebtedness divided by consolidated earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization for the four prior fiscal quarters) of 4.50 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The maximum leverage ratio is reduced to 4.0 beginning with the quarter ended December 31, 2013, then to 3.75 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 and is further reduced to 3.50 beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2015 and for each fiscal quarter thereafter. As amended, the credit facility requires that the Company maintain an interest coverage ratio (consolidated earnings before interest and taxes divided by interest expense) of not less than 2.0 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, 1.75 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, and 2.0 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and for each fiscal quarter thereafter. At September 30, 2013, the leverage ratio was 4.18 and the interest coverage ratio was 2.71. The definition of consolidated earnings before interest and taxes, and consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as used in the interest coverage and leverage ratios excludes any non-cash pension expense or income, and consolidated indebtedness in the leverage ratio is net of cash on hand in excess of $50 million. The Company was in compliance with these required ratios during all applicable periods. As of September 30, 2013, there were no outstanding borrowings made against the facility, although a portion of the facility was used to support approximately $4 million in letters of credit. The facility includes a $200 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit.
The Company has an additional separate credit facility for the issuance of letters of credit. As of September 30, 2013, $32 million in letters of credit were outstanding under this facility.
In addition, Shanghai STAL Precision Stainless Steel Company Limited (STAL), the Company’s Chinese joint venture company in which ATI has a 60% interest, has a 205 million renminbi (approximately $33 million at September 30, 2013 exchange rates) revolving credit facility with a group of banks, which expires in August 2014. This credit facility is supported solely by STAL’s financial capability without any guarantees from the joint venture partners. As of September 30, 2013, there were no borrowings under this credit facility.
The ATI Ladish Series B and Series C Notes are guaranteed by ATI and are equally ranked with all of ATI’s existing and future senior unsecured debt.
