The term loan outstanding at September 30, 2013 provides for interest at the Alternate Base Rate, a rate which is indexed to the prime rate with certain adjustments as defined, plus a margin of 3.00% or a Eurocurrency rate on deposits of one, two, three or six months but no less than 1.00% per annum plus a margin of 4.00%.  The Company has selected the Eurocurrency rate as of September 30, 2013 resulting in an interest rate currently at 5.00%.

 

The term loan provides for interest payments no less than quarterly.  In addition, quarterly principal payments of $0.8 million are required.  The balance of the loan is due at maturity on June 6, 2019.  The Company must prepay, generally within three months after year end, 50% or 25% of excess cash flow, as defined.  The percent of excess cash flow required for prepayment is dependent on the Company’s leverage ratio.  The excess cash flow prepayment for the year ended December 31, 2012 amounted to $2.1 million and was paid in March 2013.  The Company must also make prepayments on loans in the case of certain events such as large asset sales.

 

The Company also has a revolving credit facility which matures on October 3, 2015.  The facility has an available balance of $30.0 million with no amounts drawn as of or for the periods ending September 30, 2013 and 2012.  A commitment fee is payable quarterly to the lender under the facility.  Interest on amounts outstanding is based on, at the Company’s option, the bank prime rate plus a margin of 3.0% to 6.0% or the Eurocurrency rate for one, two, three or six month periods plus a margin of 4.0% to 5.5%.  The margin is dependent on the Company’s leverage, as defined in the agreement, at the time of the borrowing.

 

Refinancing 2013

 

In June 2013, the Company refinanced its term loan debt.  The Company paid a premium on the repayment of the old term loan of $3.0 million.  In addition, the Company paid $3.4 million in underwriting fees and legal costs. The premium on repayment of debt, existing original issue discount, existing deferred financing costs, underwriting fees and legal costs were accounted for in accordance with accounting standards for modification of debt instruments with different terms.  The Company compared each syndicated lenders’ loan under the old term loan with the syndicated lenders’ loan under the new term loans.  For loans under the new term loan that were substantially different, the Company recognized the exchange of debt instruments as a debt extinguishment. For loans under the new term loan that were not substantially different, the Company accounted for the exchange of debt instruments as a modification. As a result of the refinancing, the Company deferred $2.7 million of financing related costs and recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $3.7 million.

 

Refinancing 2012

 

In connection with the February 2012 refinancing of the term loan debt, the Company paid a premium on the repayment of the old term loan of $6.0 million.  In addition, the Company paid $4.1 million in underwriting fees and legal costs. The premium on repayment of debt, and underwriting fees and legal costs were accounted for in accordance with accounting standards for modification of debt instruments with different terms.  The Company compared each syndicated lenders’ loan under the old term loan with the syndicated lenders’ loan under the new term loans.  For loans under the new term loan that were substantially different, the Company recognized the exchange of debt instruments as a debt extinguishment. For loans under the new term loan that were not substantially different, the Company accounted for the exchange of debt instruments as a modification. As a result of the refinancing, the Company capitalized $5.0 million of the premium on the repayment of debt and refinancing fees and expensed the remainder resulting in a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $5.1 million.
