Credit Facility—On October 9, 2014, CyrusOne LP entered into a credit agreement which provided for a $450 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility to replace CyrusOne LP's $225 million secured credit facility, and a $150 million senior unsecured term loan.
On June 22, 2015, CyrusOne entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement and other loan documents governing its revolving credit facility and term loan facility. The amendment increased the size of the Credit Agreement's accordion feature, which gave the operating partnership the ability to request an increase in the total commitment under the Credit Agreement, from $300 million to $600 million. Immediately after entering into the amendment, the operating partnership exercised $350 million of this accordion feature and obtained commitments to increase the total commitment under the Credit Agreement from $600 million to $950 million, comprised of $650 million of commitments under the revolving credit facility and $300 million under the term loan. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains an accordion feature that allows CyrusOne LP to increase the aggregate commitment by up to $250 million.
The revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature in October 2018 and includes a one-year extension option, which if exercised by CyrusOne LP would extend the maturity date to October 2019. The term loan is scheduled to mature in October 2019. The revolving credit facility currently bears interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 1.70% and the term loan currently bears interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 1.65%.
As of December 31, 2015 there were borrowings of $235.0 million under the revolving credit facility and $300.0 million under the term loan. As of December 31, 2014 there were borrowings of $135 million under the revolving credit facility and $150 million under the term loan. There were no borrowings under the previous credit agreement as of December 31, 2013.
We pay commitment fees for the unused amount of borrowings on the revolving credit facility and term loan and letter of credit fees on any outstanding letters of credit. The commitment fees are equal to 0.25% per annum of the actual daily amount by which the aggregate revolving commitments exceed the sum of outstanding revolving loans and letter of credit obligations. Commitment fees related to the credit agreement were $0.9 million and $1.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
6.375% Senior Notes due 2022—On November 20, 2012, CyrusOne LP and CyrusOne Finance Corp. (Issuers) issued $525 million of 6.375% senior notes due 2022 (6.375% senior notes). The 6.375% senior notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuers, which rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured senior debt of the Issuers. The 6.375% senior notes are effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured indebtedness of the Issuers to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The 6.375% senior notes are fully and unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed by CyrusOne Inc., CyrusOne GP, and each of CyrusOne LP’s existing and future domestic wholly owned subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. Each such guarantee is a senior unsecured obligation of the applicable guarantor, ranking equally with all existing and future unsecured senior debt of such guarantor and effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured indebtedness of such guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing that indebtedness. The 6.375% senior notes are structurally subordinated to all liabilities, including trade payables, of each subsidiary of the Issuer that does not guarantee the 6.375% senior notes. The 6.375% senior notes bear interest at a rate of 6.375% per annum, payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on May 15, 2013.
The 6.375% senior notes will mature on November 15, 2022. However, prior to November 15, 2017, the Issuers may, at their option, redeem some or all of the 6.375% senior notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 6.375% senior notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, plus a “make-whole” premium. On or after November 15, 2017, the Issuers were permitted , at our option, redeem some or all of the 6.375% senior notes at any time at declining redemption prices equal to (i) 103.188% beginning on November 15, 2017, (ii) 102.125% beginning on November 15, 2018, (iii) 101.063% beginning on November 15, 2019 and (iv) 100.000% beginning on November 15, 2020 and thereafter, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date. In addition, before November 15, 2015, and subject to certain conditions, the Issuers may, at their option, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 6.375% senior notes with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at 106.375% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption; provided that (i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the 6.375% senior notes remains outstanding and (ii) the redemption occurs within 90 days of the closing of any such equity offering.
In November and December of 2014, we repurchased our 6.375% senior notes with an aggregate face value of $150.2 million for a purchase price of $163 million, including accrued interest. This resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $12.8 million.
On July 1, 2015, the Issuers closed a private offering of $100 million aggregate principal amount of the 6.375% senior notes (New Notes) plus a premium of $3.8 million. The New Notes were issued as additional notes under the Indenture dated November 20, 2012 as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture dated July 1, 2015, and the New Notes have terms substantially identical to those of the 6.375% senior notes issued in November 2012. The Issuers and guarantors of the New Notes entered into a registration rights agreement which requires them, at their cost, to use commercially reasonably efforts to file and cause to become effective a registration statement within 180 days of July 1, 2015, to be used in connection with the exchange of the New Notes for freely tradable notes with substantially identical terms in all material respects to the New Notes (which exchange must be completed on or prior to the 30th day after such registration statement is declared effective). On December 29, 2015, all notes issued on July 1, 2015 were exchanged for registered notes.
Debt Covenants —The Credit Agreement requires us to maintain certain financial covenants including the following, in each case on a consolidated basis:
A minimum fixed charge ratio;
Maximum total and secured leverage ratios;
A minimum tangible net worth ratio;
A maximum secured recourse indebtedness ratio;
A minimum unencumbered debt yield ratio; and
A maximum ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value.
Notwithstanding these limitations, we will be permitted, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, to distribute to our shareholders cash dividends in an amount not to exceed 95% of our Funds From Operations (FFO), as defined in the Credit Agreement) for any period. Similarly, our indenture permits dividends and distributions necessary for us to maintain our status as a REIT.
The Company’s most restrictive covenants are generally included in its credit agreement. In order to continue to have access to amounts available to it under the credit agreement, the Company must remain in compliance with all covenants.
The indenture governing the 6.375% senior notes contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily found in indebtedness of this type, including a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s ability to: incur secured or unsecured indebtedness; pay dividends or distributions on its equity interests, or redeem or repurchase equity interests of the Company; make certain investments or other restricted payments; enter into transactions with affiliates; enter into agreements limiting the ability of the operating partnership’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make certain transfers and other payments to the operating partnership or to other subsidiaries; sell assets; and merge, consolidate or transfer all or substantially all of the operating partnership’s assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the covenants contained in the indenture do not restrict the Company’s ability to pay dividends or distributions to shareholders to the extent (i) no default or event of default exists or is continuing under the indenture and (ii) the Company believes in good faith that we qualify as a REIT under the Code and the payment of such dividend or distribution is necessary either to maintain its status as a REIT or to enable it to avoid payment of any tax that could be avoided by reason of such dividend or distribution. The Company and its subsidiaries are also required to maintain total unencumbered assets of at least 150% of their unsecured debt on a consolidated basis, provided that for the purposes of such calculation their revolving credit facility shall be treated as unsecured indebtedness, in each case subject to certain qualifications set forth in the indenture.
As of December 31, 2015, we believe we were in compliance with all covenants.
Notes Payable—As of December 31, 2015, the Company had a note payable for approximately $1.5 million with a third-party for electrical infrastructure at one of the Company's locations. The note payable matures in January 2034. We will pay approximately $9,000 per month until maturity under the note payable.
Deferred financing costs—Deferred financing costs are costs incurred in connection with obtaining long-term financing. Deferred financing costs were incurred in connection with the issuance of the revolving credit facility and term loan and 6.375% senior notes due 2022. As of December 31, 2015, and 2014, deferred financing costs totaled $17.6 million and $15.5 million, respectively. Deferred financing costs related to the 6.375% senior notes are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related indebtedness. Deferred financing costs related to the revolving credit facility and term loan are amortized using the straight-line method. Amortization of deferred financing costs, included in Interest expense in the consolidated and combined statements of operations, totaled $3.4 million, $3.4 million, $4.0 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, for the periods ended December 31, 2013, and January 23, 2013, respectively. The amortization of deferred financing costs for the year ended December 31, 2014 included $0.8 million related to the extinguishment of debt and the correction of expense recorded in prior periods.
Capital lease obligations—We use leasing as a source of financing for certain of our data center facilities and related equipment. We currently operate four data center facilities subject to capital leases. We have options to extend the initial lease term on all these leases and options to purchase the facility for one of these leases.
Lease financing arrangements—Lease financing arrangements represent leases of real estate in which we are involved in the construction of structural improvements to develop buildings into data centers. When we bear substantially all the construction period risk, such as managing or funding construction, we are deemed to be the accounting owner of the leased property and, at the lease inception date, we are required to record at fair value the property and associated liability on our balance sheet. These transactions generally do not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting due to our continued involvement in these data center operations.
Interest expense on Capital lease obligations and Lease financing arrangements were $7.8 million, $5.9 million, $6.3 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, for the period ended December 31, 2013 and January 23, 2013, respectively.
