Senior Secured Notes Due 2021
On August 9, 2016, the Company, together with FBM Finance, its wholly owned subsidiary which was created for the purpose of issuing the Notes (together, the "Issuers"), issued $575 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.25% senior secured notes due 2021 at an issue price of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes in a private placement.
The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis, jointly and severally, by Alpha and each of Alpha's domestic wholly owned restricted subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries) (the "Guarantors"). The Notes are senior secured obligations that have priority over certain collateral of the Issuers and the Guarantors of the Notes and are effectively subordinated to the obligations under the ABL Credit Facility in respect of certain other collateral of the Issuers and the Guarantors of the Notes.
The Notes will mature on August 15, 2021 and bear interest at an annual rate of 8.25%. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears in February and August of each year. The Notes are governed by an indenture, dated August 9, 2016, among the Issuers, the Guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the "Indenture").

Before August 15, 2018, the Issuers may redeem all or a portion of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus an applicable premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. In addition, prior to August 15, 2018 and in the event of equity offerings, the Issuers are entitled to redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 108.25% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. The Issuers may, at their option, redeem all or a portion of the Notes at any time on or after August 15, 2018 at the applicable redemption prices specified in the Indenture, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date.

Upon certain kinds of changes of control, holders of the Notes have the right to require the Issuers to repurchase all or any portion of such holder’s Notes at 101% of the principal amount of the Notes being repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of repurchase.

ABL Credit Facility

On August 9, 2016, Beta as the Initial Borrower (as defined in the ABL Credit Facility) along with Alpha and additional U.S. and Canadian borrowers entered into the ABL Credit Facility with Goldman Sachs Bank USA as administrative agent, which matures on February 9, 2021. The ABL Credit Facility bears interest, at the applicable borrower's option, at either a Eurodollar rate or an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin. Based on the historical excess availability under the ABL Credit Facility, the margin can range from 1.25% to 1.75% per annum in the case of Eurodollar rate loans and 0.25% to 0.75% per annum in the case of alternate base rate loans. The available borrowing capacity, or borrowing base, is derived from a percentage of the borrowers' eligible receivables and inventory in both the United States and Canada, as defined in the ABL Credit Facility, subject to certain reserves, with a $75 million sub-limit on the Canadian borrowing base. As of the closing of the ABL Credit Facility, the available borrowing capacity was $250 million. A variable commitment fee, ranging from 0.25% to 0.375% and currently 0.25% per annum, is charged on the unused amount of the ABL Credit Facility based on quarterly average loan utilization. Letters of credit under the ABL Credit Facility are assessed at a rate equal to the applicable Eurodollar margin currently 1.50% as well as a fronting fee at a rate of 0.125% per annum.

These fees are payable quarterly in arrears at the end of March, June, September, and December. In addition, an administrative agent fee of $75,000 for the ABL Credit Facility is due and payable each year in quarterly installments on the last day of each quarter. The ABL Credit Facility is a senior secured obligation of Alpha, Beta, and the borrowers, with priority over certain collateral of the Company and its subsidiaries. There are no prepayment premiums associated with the ABL Credit Facility.

On September 23, 2016, Beta, Alpha and the additional U.S. and Canadian borrowers entered into an Incremental Facility Amendment to the ABL Credit Facility which extended borrowing commitments under the ABL Credit Facility by an additional $50 million, resulting in total borrowing capacity of $300 million.
