At November 30, 2022, our debt had a fair value that approximates its carrying value and is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

On October 18, 2017, we entered into a credit agreement with the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as lender (the “Canadian Credit Agreement”). The Canadian Credit Agreement provided a Canadian $31 million term loan with the proceeds used to fund the acquisition of two maintenance, repair, and overhaul (“MRO”) facilities in Canada from Premier Aviation. The term loan was paid in full at the expiration of the Canadian Credit Agreement on November 1, 2021.

On December 14, 2022, we entered into a new credit agreement with various financial institutions as lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as administrative agent for the lenders (the “New Credit Agreement”).  The New Credit Agreement provides for a $620 million unsecured revolving credit facility that we can draw upon for working capital and general corporate purposes.  Under certain circumstances, we may request an increase to the lending commitments under the New Credit Agreement by an aggregate amount of up to $300 million, not to exceed $920 million in total. The New Credit Agreement expires on December 14, 2027.  Borrowings under the New Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate based on the secured overnight financing rate, or SOFR, plus 112.5 to 200 basis points based on certain financial measurements if a SOFR loan, or at the offered fluctuating Base Rate plus 12.5 to 100 basis points based on certain financial measurements if a Base Rate loan.

On December 14, 2022, and in connection with our entry into the New Credit Agreement, we terminated our revolving credit facility under the credit agreement dated April 12, 2011, as amended, (the “2011 Credit Agreement”) with the outstanding borrowings under the 2011 Credit Agreement at the date of its termination rolled over to the New Credit Agreement.

Borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility at November 30, 2022 were $198.0 million and there were approximately $11.2 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduced the availability of this facility to $390.8 million.

Our financing arrangements require us to comply with leverage and interest coverage ratios and comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants, including those relating to financial reporting and notification, compliance with applicable laws, and limitations on additional liens, indebtedness, acquisitions, investments and disposition of assets.  Our New Credit Agreement also requires our significant domestic subsidiaries to provide a guarantee of payment under the New Credit Agreement.  At November 30, 2022, we were in compliance with the financial and other covenants in our financing agreements.
