In April 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to issue $75 million and €38 million in ten-year, fixed-rate, senior notes at fixed coupon rates of 3.66% and 3.06%, respectively. These notes were issued in November 2013 and proceeds have been used to repay maturing notes and bank debt.
 
The Company has a $350 million revolving loan facility that will mature in April 2016. Interest rates on borrowings under the credit facility are at LIBOR plus a margin based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The credit facility is used for liquidity needs.
 
The borrowings under the long-term revolving loan agreement had an average interest rate of 1.54% and 1.67% for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
The aggregate amounts of contractual maturities on long-term debt each year for the five years subsequent to December 31, 2013, are as follows: 2014, $12.4 million; 2015, $11.9 million; 2016, $80.3 million; 2017, $91.0 million; and 2018, $25.0 million.
 
The Company has approximately $12.4 million of long-term debt that matures in 2014. It is the Company’s intention to refinance these maturities under the long-term revolving loan agreement and accordingly, that maturing debt has been classified as long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
 
The Company has $299.7 million available under the revolving loan agreement and $41.4 million available under other lines of credit from several banks at December 31, 2013.
