DEBT
In March 2012, Rayonier issued $325 million of 3.75% Senior Notes due 2022. Approximately $150 million of the proceeds from these notes were used to repay borrowings outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility. The Company had $430 million of available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2012. The $300 million Senior Exchangeable Notes, which became exchangeable on July 15, 2012 and will remain so through maturity on October 15, 2012, are included in long-term debt due to the ability and intent of the Company to refinance them on a long-term basis.
As of March 31, 2012, the $172.5 million 4.50% Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015 became exchangeable at the option of the holders for the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2012. Per the indenture, in order for the notes to become exchangeable, the Company's stock price must exceed 130 percent of the exchange price for 20 trading days during a period of 30 consecutive trading days as of the last day of the quarter. During the quarter ending June 30, 2012, the note holders did not elect to exercise the exchange option. Based upon the average stock price for the 30 trading days ending June 30, 2012, these notes are not exchangeable in third quarter 2012.
An asset sales covenant in the Rayonier Forest Resources ("RFR") $112.5 million installment note agreement requires the Company, subject to certain exceptions, to either reinvest cumulative timberland sale proceeds for individual sales greater than $10 million (the "excess proceeds") in timberland-related investments or, once the amount of excess proceeds not reinvested exceeds $50 million, to offer the note holders prepayment of the notes ratably in the amount of the excess proceeds. During April 2012, the excess proceeds exceeded the $50 million limit and as a result, repayment of $59.9 million was offered to the note holders through May 15, 2012, at which time they declined and the excess proceeds were reset to zero.    
There were no other significant changes to the Company's outstanding debt as reported in Note 11 — Debt of the Company's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
