Note 11—Credit Arrangements

 

Revolving Credit Facility

 

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement was entered into by and among the Company, The PrivateBank and Trust Company, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and co-lead arranger, The Bank of the West, as co-lead arranger, and IBERIABANK Corporation (the “Lenders”). The Credit Agreement is a $75 million revolving credit facility whereby the lenders agree to make loans on a revolving basis from time to time and to issue letters of credit for up to the $75 million committed amount. The Credit Agreement also provides for an incremental facility of up to $50 million. The termination date of the Credit Agreement is December 28, 2017.

 

The principal amount of any loans under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at either: (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin as specified in the Credit Agreement (based on the Company’s senior debt to EBITDA ratio), or (ii) the Base Rate (which is the greater of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% or (b) the prime rate as announced by the Administrative Agent). Quarterly non-use fees, letter of credit fees and administrative agent fees are payable at rates specified in the Credit Agreement.

 

The principal amount of any loan drawn under the Credit Agreement may be prepaid in whole or in part, with a minimum prepayment of $5 million, at any time, potentially subject to make-whole provisions.

 

The Credit Agreement includes customary restrictive covenants for facilities of this type, as discussed below.

 

Commercial letters of credit were $4,808 at September 30, 2013 and $4,808 at December 31, 2012.  Other than commercial letters of credit, there were no borrowings under this line of credit during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, leaving available borrowing capacity at $70,192 at September 30, 2013.

 

At the execution of the Credit Agreement, the previous Loan and Security Agreement dated October 29, 2009, as amended, between the Company and The Private Bank and Trust Company (the “PrivateBank Agreement”), was terminated.  There were no borrowings outstanding at the time of the termination and all outstanding letters of credit were transferred to the Credit Agreement.

 

Senior Secured Notes and Shelf Agreement

 

On December 28, 2012, the Company entered into a $50 million Senior Secured Notes purchase (“Senior Notes”) and a $25 million private shelf agreement (the “Notes Agreement”) by and among the Company, The Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and certain Prudential affiliates (the “Noteholders”).

 

The Senior Notes amount was funded on December 28, 2012. The Senior Notes are due December 28, 2022 and bear interest at an annual rate of 3.65%, paid quarterly in arrears. Annual principal payments of $7.1 million are required from December 28, 2016 through December 28, 2021 with a final payment due on December 28, 2022. The principal amount may be prepaid, with a minimum prepayment of $5 million, at any time, subject to make-whole provisions.

 

The Notes Agreement provided for the issuance of notes of up to $25 million, prior to December 28, 2016.  On July 25, 2013, the Company drew the full $25 million available under the Notes Agreement.  The notes are due July 25, 2023 and bear interest at an annual rate of 3.85% paid quarterly in arrears.  Seven annual principal payments of $3.6 million are required from July 25, 2017 with a final payment due on July 25, 2023.

 

All loans made under both the Credit Agreement and the Notes Agreement are secured by our assets, including, among others, our cash, inventory, goods, equipment (excluding equipment subject to permitted liens) and accounts receivable. All of our domestic subsidiaries have issued joint and several guaranties in favor of the Lenders and Noteholders for all amounts under the Credit Agreement and Notes Agreement.

 

Both the Credit Agreement and the Notes Agreement contain various restrictive and financial covenants including among others, minimum tangible net worth, senior debt/EBITDA ratio, debt service coverage requirements and a minimum balance for unencumbered net book value for fixed assets. In addition, the agreements include restrictions on investments, change of control provisions and provisions in the event the Company disposes more than 20% of its total assets.

 

The Company was in compliance with the covenants for the Credit Agreement and Notes Agreement at September 30, 2013.

The Company has a credit facility for $10,000 in Canadian dollars with a Canadian bank for purposes of issuing commercial letters of credit in Canada.  The credit facility has an annual renewal and provides for the issuance of commercial letters of credit for a term of up to five years. The facility provides for an annual fee of 1% for any issued and outstanding commercial letters of credit. Letters of credit can be denominated in either Canadian or U.S. dollars.
