11. In March 2011, the Company entered into a secured credit facility for $460 million made available through a group of banks. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and interest is based on standard inter-bank offering rates. The credit facility expires in July 2016. The interest rate ranges from LIBOR plus 1.5% to LIBOR plus 2.25% depending on the leverage ratios at the time the funds are drawn. At May 2, 2014, the Company had $130.0 million outstanding under the secured credit facility at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.75%, which was 1.91% at May 2, 2014.

In July 2011, the Company amended the secured credit facility to provide for a €125.0 million term loan (Euro Term Loan). The interest rate on the Euro Term Loan ranges from Euro LIBOR plus 1.5% to Euro LIBOR plus 2.25% depending on the leverage ratios at the time the funds are drawn. At May 2, 2014, the Company had €9.0 million outstanding or $12.5 million under the Euro Term Loan at an interest rate of Euro LIBOR plus 1.75%, which was 2.00% at May 2, 2014. The loan amortizes at 1.25% of the original principal balance quarterly through March 2016, with the remaining balance due in July 2016.

In April 2013, the Company amended the secured credit facility to include a $175.0 million term loan (U.S. Term Loan). The interest rate on the U.S. Term Loan ranges from LIBOR plus 1.5% to LIBOR plus 2.25% depending on the leverage ratios at the time the funds are drawn. At May 2, 2014, the Company had $166.3 million outstanding under the U.S. Term Loan at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.75%, which was 1.91% at May 2, 2014. The loan amortizes at 1.25% of the original principal balance quarterly through March 2016, with the remaining balance due in July 2016.

In April 2013, the Company redeemed the $175.0 million 6.625% Senior Notes due March 2017 (2017 Notes). In connection with the redemption, the Company wrote off $1.3 million in unamortized debt issuance costs as a charge against interest expense. In addition, the Company incurred a $3.9 million redemption premium and received proceeds of $2.9 million from the termination of its $175.0 million interest rate swap agreements. As a result, the redemption of the 2017 Notes resulted in a net loss of $0.9 million on extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

The carrying amounts of the secured credit facility, U.S. Term Loan and Euro Term Loan approximate fair value.
