Long-Term Debt

Note 6. Long-Term Debt

In December 2014, the Company entered into a credit agreement providing for a $500.0 million four-year senior secured revolving credit facility.  The current borrowing base under the credit agreement is $80.0 million and is subject to redetermination during May and November of each year. As of March 31, 2016, outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest at a rate elected by the Company that is equal to a base rate (which is equal to the greater of the prime rate, the Federal Funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and 1-month LIBOR plus 1.00%) or LIBOR, in each case plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% for base rate loans and from 2.00% to 2.75% for LIBOR loans, in each case depending on the amount of the loan outstanding in relation to the borrowing base. The Company is obligated to pay a quarterly commitment fee of 0.50% per year on the unused portion of the borrowing base, which fee is also dependent on the amount of the loan outstanding in relation to the borrowing base. The Company is also required to pay customary letter of credit fees.  Principal amounts outstanding under the credit facility are due and payable in full at maturity on December 19, 2018. All of the obligations under the credit agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had an $80.0 million borrowing base, with $11.2 million of debt outstanding, (bearing an interest rate of 2.442%), $0.2 million of letters of credit outstanding, resulting in $68.6 million of borrowing base availability under its credit facility.

The credit facility contains a number of customary covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens on asset, pay dividends, and repurchase its capital stock. In addition, the Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios, including a minimum modified current ratio which includes the available borrowing base of 1.0 to 1.0 and a maximum annualized quarterly leverage ratio of 4.0 to 1.0. The Company is also required to submit an audited annual report 120 days after the end of each fiscal period.  As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with these covenants under the credit facility.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, includes amortization of deferred financing costs of $70,000 and $65,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $0.8 million of costs, net of amortization, associated with the credit facility have been capitalized.  These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the credit agreement.
