Long-Term Debt and Financing Arrangements
Long-Term Debt and Financing Arrangements
Our financing arrangements are primarily provided by a committed senior secured financing arrangement with a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions. The arrangement is secured by substantially all our domestic assets and pledges of up to 66 percent of the stock of certain first-tier foreign subsidiaries, as well as guarantees by our material domestic subsidiaries.
On March 22, 2012, we completed an amendment and restatement of our senior credit facility by increasing the amount and extending the maturity date of our revolving credit facility and adding a new $250 million Tranche A Term Facility. The amended and restated facility replaces our former $556 million revolving credit facility, $148 million Tranche B Term Facility and $130 million Tranche B-1 letter of credit/revolving loan facility. The proceeds from this refinancing transaction were used to repay our $148 million Tranche B Term Facility and, as described below, to fund the purchase and redemption of our $250 million 8.125 percent senior notes due in 2015. As of June 30, 2013, the senior credit facility provides us with a total revolving credit facility size of $850 million and had a $234 million balance outstanding under the Tranche A Term Facility, both of which will mature on March 22, 2017. Funds may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed under the revolving credit facility without premium or penalty. The revolving credit facility is reflected as debt on our balance sheet only if we borrow money under this facility or if we use the facility to make payments for letters of credit. Outstanding letters of credit reduce our availability to enter into revolving loans under the facility. We are required to make quarterly principal payments under the Tranche A Term Facility of $3.1 million through March 31, 2014, $6.3 million beginning June 30, 2014 through March 31, 2015, $9.4 million beginning June 30, 2015 through March 31, 2016, $12.5 million beginning June 30, 2016 through December 31, 2016 and a final payment of $125 million is due on March 22, 2017.
The financial ratios required under the amended and restated senior credit facility, and the actual ratios we achieved for the two quarters of 2013, are as follows:

The senior credit facility includes a maximum leverage ratio covenant of 3.50 through March 22, 2017 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.55 through December 31, 2013 and 2.75 thereafter, through March 22, 2017.
On March 8, 2012, we announced a cash tender offer to purchase our outstanding $250 million 8.125 percent senior notes due in 2015 and a solicitation of consents to certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing these notes. We received tenders and consents representing $232 million aggregate principal amount of the notes and, on March 22, 2012, we purchased the tendered notes at a price of 104.44 percent of the principal amount (which includes a consent payment of three percent of the principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest, and amended the related indenture. On April 6, 2012, we redeemed all remaining outstanding $18 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes that were not purchased pursuant to the tender offer at a price of 104.06 percent of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The additional liquidity provided by the new $850 million revolving credit facility and the new $250 million Tranche A Term Facility was used to fund the total cost of the tender offer and redemption, including all related fees and expenses.
We recorded $17 million of pre-tax charges in March 2012 related to the refinancing of our senior credit facility, the repurchase and redemption of $232 million aggregate principal amount of our 8.125 percent senior notes due in 2015 and the write-off of deferred debt issuance costs relating to these senior notes. We recorded an additional $1 million of pre-tax charges during the second quarter of 2012 relating to the redemption of the remaining $18 million aggregate principal amount of our 8.125 percent senior notes which occurred in April 2012.
At June 30, 2013, of the $850 million available under the revolving credit facility, we had unused borrowing capacity of $621 million with $190 million in outstanding borrowings and $39 million in outstanding letters of credit. The $190 million in outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility reflected a banking error on the last day of the second quarter of 2013 that reduced the revolver borrowings and increased bank overdrafts by $40 million. Without this our debt balance would have been $40 million higher. As of June 30, 2013, our outstanding debt also included $234 million related to our Tranche A Term Facility which is subject to quarterly principal payments as described above through March 22, 2017, $225 million of 7.75 percent senior notes due August 15, 2018, $500 million of 6.875 percent senior notes due December 15, 2020, and $130 million of other debt.
