Debt and Receivables Securitization

NOTE G – Debt and Receivables Securitization

We maintain a $500,000,000 multi-year revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a group of lenders that matures in April 2020. Borrowings under the Credit Facility have maturities of less than one year. However, we can extend the term of amounts borrowed by renewing these borrowings for the term of the Credit Facility. We have the option to borrow at rates equal to an applicable margin over the LIBOR, Prime or Fed Funds rates. The applicable margin is determined by our credit rating. The applicable interest rate at August 31, 2015 was 1.257%. Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility totaled $18,694,000 at August 31, 2015, leaving $481,306,000 available for future use.

We also maintain a $100,000,000 revolving trade accounts receivable securitization facility (the “AR Facility”) which expires in January 2018. The AR Facility has been available throughout fiscal 2016 to date, and was available throughout fiscal 2015. Pursuant to the terms of the AR Facility, certain of our subsidiaries sell their accounts receivable without recourse, on a revolving basis, to Worthington Receivables Corporation (“WRC”), a wholly-owned, consolidated, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. In turn, WRC may sell without recourse, on a revolving basis, up to $100,000,000 of undivided ownership interests in this pool of accounts receivable to a multi-seller, asset-backed commercial paper conduit (the “Conduit”). Purchases by the Conduit are financed with the sale of A1/P1 commercial paper. We retain an undivided interest in this pool and are subject to risk of loss based on the collectability of the receivables from this retained interest. Because the amount eligible to be sold excludes receivables more than 90 days past due, receivables offset by an allowance for doubtful accounts due to bankruptcy or other cause, concentrations over certain limits with specific customers and certain reserve amounts, we believe additional risk of loss is minimal. The book value of the retained portion of the pool of accounts receivable approximates fair value. As of August 31, 2015, no undivided ownership interests in this pool of accounts receivable had been sold.

The remaining balance of short-term borrowings at August 31, 2015 consisted of $1,249,000 outstanding under various credit facilities maintained by our consolidated affiliate, Worthington Aritas, and $2,096,000 outstanding under a $9,500,000 credit facility maintained by our consolidated affiliate, Worthington Nitin Cylinders. Borrowings outstanding under the Nitin credit facility are currently in default; however, the lender has not called the note and the Company has settled its portion of the obligation.
