Credit Agreement
The Company is a party to the Credit Agreement, which provides for senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate initial principal amount of $1.08 billion, consisting of a revolving facility in an aggregate initial principal amount of $330 million maturing in 2024 and a term loan in an aggregate initial principal amount of $750 million maturing in 2026.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to a Base Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus in each case, an applicable interest rate equal to a spread of 1.00% with respect to Base Rate Loans and a spread of 2.00% with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee in respect of any undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility of 0.50% per annum, subject to a stepdown to 0.375% based on the Company’s first lien net leverage ratio.
The Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and MacDermid, as borrowers, as well as the assets of the guarantors, including mortgages on material real property, subject to certain exceptions.
Covenants, Events of Default and Provisions
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on additional indebtedness, dividends, and other distributions, entry into new lines of business, use of loan proceeds, capital expenditures, restricted payments, restrictions on liens on the assets of the borrowers or any guarantor, transactions with
affiliates, amendments to organizational documents, accounting changes, sale and leaseback transactions and dispositions. To the extent the borrowers have total outstanding borrowings under the revolving facility (subject to certain exceptions) greater than 30% of the commitment amount under the revolving facility, the Company's first lien net leverage ratio should not exceed 5.0 to 1.0, subject to a right to cure.
The Credit Agreement requires the borrowers to make mandatory prepayments of borrowings, subject to certain exceptions, as described in the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary events of default that include, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, failure to make payment on, or defaults with respect to, certain other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments and change of control provisions. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, and after the expiration of any applicable grace period, payment of any outstanding loans under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated and the lenders could foreclose on their security interests in the assets of the borrowers and the guarantors.
At December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the debt covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and had full availability of its unused borrowing capacity of $325 million, net of letters of credit, under the revolving facility.
Senior Notes
3.875% USD Notes due 2028
On August 18, 2020, the Company completed a private offering of $800 million aggregate principal amount of 3.875% senior notes due 2028. The net proceeds from this offering and cash on hand were used to pay for the full redemption of the Company's $800 million aggregate amount of 5.875% USD Notes due 2025 on September 4, 2020. In connection with the redemption, the Company expensed $45.7 million in "Other (expense) income, net" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, consisting of a make-whole premium of $33.6 million, which is a cash outflow from financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and the write-off of debt issuance costs and original issue discount of $12.1 million.
The indenture governing the 3.875% USD Notes due 2028 provides, among other things, for customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and other customary provisions. The notes accrue interest at a rate of 3.875% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears, on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2021, and will mature on September 1, 2028, unless earlier repurchased or redeemed. Pursuant to the indenture, the Company has the option to redeem the 3.875% USD Notes due 2028 prior to their maturity, subject to, in certain cases, the payment of an applicable make-whole premium. At December 31, 2020, the 3.875% USD Notes due 2028 are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by generally all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the obligations of the borrowers under the Credit Agreement.
