On November 21, 2018, we completed new credit facilities to replace the Existing Credit Facilities. The new credit facilities consist of a $240.0 million senior secured term loan, which matures on November 21, 2025 (“New Term Loan”), and a $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (“New Revolving Credit Facility”), which matures on November 21, 2023 (collectively, the “New Credit Facilities”).

The New Term Loan bears interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either (i) the Eurodollar Rate (defined as the London Interbank Offered Rate [“LIBOR”]) plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.75% to 4.00% per year or (ii) the Base Rate (defined as the highest of [a] Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, [b] Bank of America’s prime rate, and [c] the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.75% to 4.00% per year, in each case based upon the consolidated total net adjusted leverage ratio, typically payable quarterly. In addition, the New Term Loan requires installment payments of 0.25% of the outstanding principal balance of the New Term Loan amount on a quarterly basis.

The New Revolving Credit Facility bears interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either (i) the Eurodollar Rate (defined as LIBOR) plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75% per year or (ii) the Base Rate (defined as the highest of [a] Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, [b] Bank of America’s prime rate, and [c] the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.75% per year, in each case based upon the consolidated total net adjusted leverage ratio, typically payable quarterly. The undrawn portion of the commitment of the New Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.200% to 0.300%, based upon the consolidated total net adjusted leverage ratio.

Further, if we meet the annual excess cash flow threshold, we will be required to make excess flow payments. The annual mandatory excess cash flow payments will be based on (i) 50% of the excess cash flow amount if the adjusted leverage ratio is greater than 3.25 to 1.0, (ii) 25% of the excess cash flow amount if the adjusted leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1.0 but greater than 2.50 to 1.0, and (iii) zero percent of the excess cash flow amount if the adjusted leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2018, we were in compliance with all covenants required under the New Credit Facilities.

We have been making periodic voluntary principal prepayments on our Existing Credit Facilities and in conjunction with the closing of the New Credit Facilities on November 21, 2018, we drew down $240.0 million on the New Term Loan, $7.9 million on the New Revolving Credit Facility and used those proceeds along with current cash on hand to pay off the Existing Credit Facilities of $247.9 million. The New Term Loan replacing the term loan that was a part of the Existing Credit Facilities (“Existing Term Loan”) was considered an extinguishment of debt except for the portion related to a creditor that was part of the Existing Term Loan and the New Term Loan and in which case, it was considered a modification of debt. As a result, we expensed the portion of the unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Existing Term Loan that was considered an extinguishment of debt of $0.4 million. In addition, the New Revolving Credit Facility replacing the existing revolving credit facility that was part of the Existing Credit Facilities (“Existing Revolving Credit Facility”) was considered an extinguishment of debt except for the portion related to the creditors that were part of the Existing Revolving Credit Facility and the New Revolving Credit Facility and in which case, it was considered a modification of debt. As a result, we expensed the portion of the unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Existing Revolving Credit Facility that was considered an extinguishment of debt of $0.5 million. As such, an aggregate total loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.9 million was recorded in 2018.

Further, we incurred $3.5 million of new debt issuance costs that can be capitalized related to the New Credit Facilities, of which $1.7 million were allocated to the New Term Loan and the $1.8 million was allocated to the New Revolving Credit facility. The New Term Loan new debt issuance costs of $1.7 million and remaining unamortized Existing Term Loan debt issuance costs of $0.1 million, for an aggregate total of $1.8 million of debt issuance costs related to the New Term Loan were capitalized and are being amortized over the seven year life of the New Term Loan. The New Revolving Credit Facility new debt issuance costs of $1.8 million and remaining unamortized Existing Revolving Credit Facility debt issuance costs of $0.2 million, for an aggregate total of $2.0 million of debt issuance costs related to the New Revolving Credit Facility were capitalized and are being amortized over the five years life of the New Existing Revolving Credit Facility.

On April 23, 2018, we acquired Certified Thermoplastics Co., LLC (“CTP”) for a purchase price of $30.7 million, net of cash acquired, all payable in cash. We paid an aggregate of $30.8 million in cash by drawing down on the Existing Revolving Credit Facility. See Note 3.

In September 2017, we acquired LDS for a purchase price of $60.0 million, net of cash acquired, all payable in cash. Upon the closing of the transaction, we paid $61.4 million in cash by drawing down on the Revolving Credit Facility. The remaining $0.6 million was paid in October 2017 in cash, also by drawing down on the Revolving Credit Facility. See Note 3.

As of December 31, 2018, we had $99.7 million of unused borrowing capacity under the New Revolving Credit Facility, after deducting $0.3 million for standby letters of credit.

The New Credit Facilities were entered into by us (“Parent Company”) and guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries, other than two subsidiaries that were considered minor (“Subsidiary Guarantors”). The Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally guarantee the New Credit Facilities. The Parent Company has no independent assets or operations and therefore, no consolidating financial information for the Parent Company and its subsidiaries are presented.

In October 2015, we entered into interest rate cap hedges designated as cash flow hedges with a portion of these interest rate cap hedges maturing on a quarterly basis, and a final quarterly maturity date of June 2020, in aggregate, totaling $135.0 million of our debt. We paid a total of $1.0 million in connection with the interest rate cap hedges. See Note 1 for further information.

In December 2018, 2017, and 2016, we entered into agreements to purchase $2.2 million, $14.2 million, and $9.9 million of industrial revenue bonds (“IRBs”) issued by the city of Parsons, Kansas (“Parsons”) and concurrently, sold $2.2 million, $14.2 million, and $9.9 million of property and equipment (“Property”) to Parsons as well as entered into lease agreements to lease the Property from Parsons (“Lease”) with lease payments totaling $2.2 million, $14.2 million, and $9.9 million over the lease terms, respectively. The sale of the Property and concurrent lease back of the Property in December 2018, 2017, and 2016 did not meet the sale-leaseback accounting requirements as a result of our continuous involvement with the Property and thus, the $2.2 million, $14.2 million, and $9.9 million in cash received from Parsons was not recorded as a sale but as a financing obligation, respectively. Further, the Lease included a right of offset so long as we continue to own the IRBs and thus, the financing obligations of $2.2 million, $14.2 million, and $9.9 million were offset against the $2.2 million, $14.2 million, and $9.9 million, respectively, of IRBs assets and are presented net on the consolidated balance sheets with no impact to the consolidated statements of income or consolidated cash flow statements.
