Credit Facility

On April 16, 2015, we entered into a five-year $800 million syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility maturing on April 15, 2020 (the "Credit Facility") with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc. as sole lead arranger and sole book manager. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a spread over LIBOR that varies with our leverage ratio. The Credit Facility also includes a swing line facility and a letter of credit facility.

On September 27, 2018, we amended certain covenant ratios of our Credit Facility. On February 27, 2018, we exercised an option to increase the total commitments under the Credit Facility from $800 million to $1.1 billion. Debt issuance costs of $0.9 million are included in other noncurrent assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the quarter ended March 29, 2019.

We have a renewable 364-day, $25.0 million commercial stand-by letter of credit facility with Rabobank Nederland.

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Credit Facility and other working capital facilities at March 29, 2019 (U.S. dollars in millions):



	Term	Maturity date	Interest rate	Borrowing limit		Available borrowings
Bank of America credit facility	5 years	April 15, 2020	4.03%	$	1,100.0	$	395.3
Rabobank letter of credit facility	364 days	June 18, 2019	Varies	25.0		19.1
Other working capital facilities	Varies	Varies	Varies	23.4		14.1
				$	1,148.4	$	428.5

The current margin for LIBOR advances is 1.50%. We intend to use funds borrowed under the Credit Facility from time to time for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment, redemption or refinancing of our existing indebtedness, working capital needs, capital expenditures, funding of possible acquisitions, possible share repurchases and satisfaction of other obligations.

The Credit Facility requires us to comply with financial and other covenants, including limitations on capital expenditures, the amount of dividends that can be paid in the future, the amount and types of liens and indebtedness, material asset sales and mergers. As of March 29, 2019, we were in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is unsecured and is guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. The Credit Facility permits borrowings under the revolving commitment with an interest rate determined based on our leverage ratio and spread over LIBOR. In addition, we pay a fee on unused commitments.

As of March 29, 2019, we applied $11.0 million to the Rabobank Nederland and Bank of America letter of credit facilities in respect of certain contingent obligations and other governmental agency guarantees combined with guarantees for purchases of raw materials and equipment and other trade related letters of credit. We also had $17.5 million in other letters of credit and bank guarantees not included in the Rabobank or Bank of America letter of credit facilities.

As of June 28, 2018 we entered into interest rate swaps in order to hedge the risk of the fluctuation on future interest payments related to our variable rate LIBOR-based borrowings from our Credit Facility. Refer to Note 15, “Derivatives”.
