On March 4, 2014, we entered into a $250,000,000 Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2014 Credit Agreement”). The 2014 Credit Agreement includes a five-year $250,000,000 senior secured revolving facility with sublimits of up to $100,000,000 for borrowings in foreign currencies, $30,000,000 for letters of credit and $10,000,000 for swing line loans (the “2014 Revolving Credit Facility”). Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent including the consent of the lenders, the Company may from time to time increase the 2014 Revolving Credit Facility by an aggregate amount not to exceed $100,000,000. The senior lenders include Bank of America N.A. (the lead bank and administrative agent), PNC Bank, National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The 2014 Credit Agreement expires on March 4, 2019. Additionally, subject to certain restrictions and conditions (i) any of our domestic or foreign subsidiaries may become borrowers and (ii) borrowings may occur in multi-currencies. Furthermore, we incurred debt issuance costs of $1,318,000 relating to the 2014 Credit Agreement which was recorded in other assets along with the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs of $512,000 relating to our former revolving credit facility. The total of these two amounts is being amortized over the life of the 2014 Credit Agreement. At April 30, 2016, unamortized debt issuance costs recorded in other assets amounted to $1,037,000.

 

Borrowings under the 2014 Credit Agreement bear interest at rates ranging from 0.25% to 1.25% above the lender’s base rate, or at rates ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% above the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), depending upon the Company’s “Consolidated Leverage Ratio,” which is defined as the consolidated ratio of total funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and as further adjusted under the terms of the 2014 Credit Agreement (“Consolidated EBITDA”). At April 30, 2016, the lender’s base rate was 3.50% and the LIBOR rates ranged from 0.44% to 0.90%. The margins applicable to our outstanding borrowings were 0.50% above the lender’s base rate or 1.50% above LIBOR. All of our outstanding borrowings were under LIBOR contracts at April 30, 2016. The 2014 Credit Agreement also provides for fees on the unused portion of our facility at rates ranging from 0.20% to 0.40%, depending upon our Consolidated Leverage Ratio; such rate was 0.25% at April 30, 2016.

 

The 2014 Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants reasonably customary for similar credit facilities and is secured by (i) substantially all assets of Cantel and its United States-based subsidiaries, (ii) a pledge by Cantel of all of the outstanding shares of its United States-based subsidiaries and 65% of the outstanding shares of certain of Cantel’s foreign-based subsidiaries and (iii) a guaranty by Cantel’s domestic subsidiaries. We are in compliance with all financial and other covenants under the 2014 Credit Agreement.

 

On April 30, 2016, we had $132,000,000 of outstanding borrowings under the 2014 Credit Agreement. Subsequent to April 30, 2016, we repaid $3,500,000 resulting in total outstanding borrowings of $128,500,000 at June 9, 2016, none of which is required to be repaid until March 2019.
