SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On October 30, 2015, the Company entered into an amended and restated $650.0 million senior secured credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks. Bank of America, N.A. served as the sole administrative agent and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and U.S. Bank National Association acted as co-syndication agents. Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith Incorporated, JPMorgan Securities LLC and U.S. Bank National Association acted as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers in the syndication of the New Credit Facility.
The New Credit Facility consists of a $300.0 million five-year revolving line of credit and a $350.0 million five-year term loan facility. The Company drew the entire term loan from the New Credit Facility on October 30, 2015 to (i) retire $344.7 million in indebtedness outstanding under the Company’s prior credit facility; (ii) fund expenses associated with the New Credit Facility; and (iii) for general corporate purposes. This New Credit Facility replaced the Company’s $650.0 million credit facility entered into on July 1, 2013.
The Company paid approximately $4.4 million for arranging fees, up-front lending fees and other expenses associated with the New Credit Facility.
Generally, interest will be charged on the principal amounts outstanding under the New Credit Facility at the British Bankers Association LIBOR rate plus an applicable rate ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The Company can also opt for an interest rate equal to a base rate (as defined in the credit documents) plus an applicable rate, which also is based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The applicable one month LIBOR borrowing rate (LIBOR plus the Company’s applicable rate) as of October 30, 2015 was 2.19%.
The New Credit Facility includes a provision permitting the Company, by notice to Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, to increase either the revolving credit line or the term loan with additional commitments of up to $250.0 million from either the existing lending banks or additional financial institutions.
Also on October 30, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $262.5 million, which is set to expire in October 2020. The notional amount of this swap mirrors the amortization of a $262.5 million portion of the Company’s $350.0 million term loan drawn from the New Credit Facility. The swap requires the Company to make a monthly fixed rate payment of 1.46% calculated on the amortizing $262.5 million notional amount, and provides for the Company to receive a payment based upon a variable monthly LIBOR interest rate calculated on the amortizing $262.5 million notional amount. The annualized borrowing rate of the swap at closing was 3.46%. The receipt of the monthly LIBOR-based payment offsets a variable monthly LIBOR-based interest cost on a corresponding $262.5 million portion of the Company’s term loan from the New Credit Facility. This interest rate swap is used to partially hedge the interest rate risk associated with the volatility of monthly LIBOR rate movement, and will be accounted for as a cash flow hedge.
The New Credit Facility is subject to certain financial covenants, including a consolidated financial leverage ratio and consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio. Subject to the specifically defined terms and methods of calculation as set forth in the New Credit Facility’s credit agreement, the financial covenant requirements, as of each quarterly reporting period end, are defined as follows:
Consolidated financial leverage ratio compares consolidated funded indebtedness to New Credit Facility defined income. The initial maximum amount was not to initially exceed 3.75 to 1.00 and will decrease periodically at scheduled reporting periods to not more than 3.50 to 1.00 beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2017.
Consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio compares New Credit Facility defined income to New Credit Facility defined fixed charges with a minimum permitted ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.00.
