At June 30, 2016, the Company had a $70.0 million revolving bank loan facility with a U.S. banking institution to provide for working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes. In March 2016, the borrowing capacity under the revolving loan facility was increased by $20.0 million, from $50.0 million to $70.0 million, and the maturity date was extended to April 30, 2017. Interest on the borrowings is based on the higher of 3.50% or the U.S. Prime Rate and is payable monthly. The weighted average daily borrowings outstanding under the revolving bank loan facility were approximately $49.3 million and $34.0 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The weighted average interest rate was 3.50% and 3.25% for the six months endedJune 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

In connection with the acquisition of Cogent in April 2015, the Company borrowed $45.0 million, which was comprised of two bank term loan facilities (the "Term Loan Facilities"), each in an original principal amount of $22.5 million. One Term Loan Facility was payable in full on April 30, 2016 (the "One Year Facility") and bore interest at the Prime Rate plus three-quarters of one percent (0.75%) per annum. In April 2016, the One Year Facility was repaid in full. The other Term Loan Facility matures on April 30, 2018 (the "Three Year Facility"), is payable in four equal semi-annual installments beginning on October 31, 2016 and bears interest at the Prime Rate plus one and one-quarter percent (1.25%) per annum, which interest rate will be reduced to the Prime Rate plus three-quarters of one percent (0.75%) per annum when the amount outstanding on the Three Year Facility is $7.5 million or less. At June 30, 2016, the outstanding principal balance of the Three Year Facility was $22.5 million. There are no prepayment penalties for the early repayment of either Term Loan Facility. Principal amounts repaid on the Term Loan Facilities cannot be reborrowed. The interest rate applicable to the Term Loan Facilities will never be less than four percent (4.00%) per annum. The weighted average interest rate related to the Term Loan Facilities was 4.75% and 4.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The revolving and term loan facilities are provided by a U.S. banking institution and are secured by any cash distributed in respect of the Company’s investment in the U.S. based merchant banking funds and cash distributions from G&Co and GCI. In addition, the bank loan facilities have a prohibition on the incurrence of additional indebtedness without the prior approval of the lenders and the Company is required to comply with certain financial and liquidity covenants. At June 30, 2016, the Company was compliant with all loan covenants.
