Note 5 — Long-Term Debt

On January 17, 2013, the Company completed the sale of unsecured senior notes in a public offering for an aggregate principal amount of $35 million. In addition, effective January 25, 2013, the Company received an aggregate principal amount of $5.3 million pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option. The offering was made pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (Registration Statement No. 333-185228) and the prospectus supplement dated January 10, 2013. The combined net proceeds after underwriting and issuance costs of approximately $1.6 million were $38.7 million. Approximately $1.5 million of the $1.6 million of underwriting and issuance costs was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The notes will mature on January 30, 2020 and bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 8% payable quarterly on January 30, April 30, July 30 and October 30, commencing on April 30, 2013. The notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time on and after January 30, 2016 upon not less than 30 or more than 60 days’ notice. The redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest. Additionally, the Company may, at any time, repurchase the senior notes at any price in the open market and may hold, resell or surrender the notes for cancellation.

The senior notes rank on a parity with all of the Company’s other existing and future senior unsecured obligations. In addition, to the extent the senior notes are unsecured, they also rank junior in right of payment to any secured debt that the Company may have outstanding to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt.

The senior notes contain customary restrictive covenants relating to merger, modification of the indenture, subordination, issuance of debt securities and sale of assets, the most significant of which include limitations with respect to certain designated subsidiaries on the incurrence of additional indebtedness or guarantees secured by any security interest on any shares of their capital stock. The senior note covenants also limit the Company’s ability to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of capital stock of such designated subsidiaries. The senior note covenants do not contain any restrictions on the Company’s payment or declaration of dividends nor require a sinking fund to be established for the purpose of redemption.

Interest expense with respect to the senior notes was approximately $686,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and included amortization of debt issuance costs of approximately $33,000. The effective interest rate, taking into account the stated interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs, approximates 8.7%.
