2011 Credit Facility

 

On December 20, 2011, we entered into a $1,135.0 million credit agreement (the “2011 Credit Facility”), which replaced the Exit First Lien Facility, with several lenders including Wells Fargo Bank National Association, as administrative agent, and related loan and security documentation agents.  The 2011 Credit Facility was comprised of a 5-year $200.0 million revolving credit loan facility (the “Revolving Loan”), a 5-year $75.0 million Tranche A Term Loan facility (the “Term Loan A”) and a 7-year $860.0 million Tranche B Term Loan facility (the “Term Loan B” and together with the Term Loan A, the “Term Loans”).  In certain circumstances, the Term Loan B could be increased by $300.0 million.  The proceeds from the $935.0 million Term Loans were used, along with $15.0 million of existing cash, to retire the $950.0 million senior term loan from the prior facility.  Interest on the 2011 Credit Facility accrues based on pricing rates corresponding with SFTP’s senior secured leverage ratios as set forth in the credit agreement.

 

On December 21, 2012, we entered into an amendment to the 2011 Credit Facility (the “2012 Credit Facility Amendment”) that among other things, permitted us to (i) issue $800 million of senior unsecured notes, (ii) use $350.0 million of the proceeds of the senior unsecured notes to repay the $72.2 million that was outstanding under the Term Loan A and $277.8 million of the outstanding balance of the Term Loan B, (iii) use the remaining $450.0 million of proceeds for share repurchases and other corporate matters, and (iv) reduced the interest rate payable on the Term Loan B by 25 basis points.

 

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, no advances under the Revolving Loan were outstanding (excluding letters of credit in the amount of $18.8 million and $18.2 million, respectively).  Interest on the Revolving Loan accrues at an annual rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin with an unused commitment fee based on our senior secured leverage ratio.  At March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Revolving Loan unused commitment fee was 0.50%.  The principal amount of the Revolving Loan is due and payable on December 20, 2016.

 

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 the Term Loan A had been fully repaid.  Interest on the Term Loan A accrued at an annual rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin based on our senior secured leverage ratio.

 

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $580.7 million and $582.2 million under the Term Loan B were outstanding, respectively.  Interest on the Term Loan B accrues at an annual rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin, with a 1.0% LIBOR floor, based on our senior secured leverage ratio.  In March 2012, we entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate agreement in order to limit exposure to an increase in the LIBOR interest rate on $470.0 million of the Term Loan B.  The interest rate agreement capped the LIBOR component of the interest rate at 1.00% (see Note 4).  At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Term Loan B interest rate was 4.00%.  Beginning on March 31, 2013, the Term Loan B amortizes in quarterly installments of $1.5 million with all remaining outstanding principal due and payable on December 20, 2018.

 

Amounts outstanding under the 2011 Credit Facility are guaranteed by Holdings, SFO and certain of the domestic subsidiaries of SFTP (collectively, the “Loan Parties”).  The 2011 Credit Facility is secured by first priority liens upon substantially all existing and after-acquired assets of the Loan Parties.  The 2011 Credit Facility agreement contains certain representations, warranties and affirmative covenants, including minimum interest coverage and a maximum senior leverage maintenance covenant.  In addition, the 2011 Credit Facility agreement contains restrictive covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit or restrict, among other things, the ability of the Loan Parties to incur indebtedness, create liens, engage in mergers, consolidations and other fundamental changes, make investments or loans, engage in transactions with affiliates, pay dividends, make capital expenditures and repurchase capital stock.  The 2011 Credit Facility agreement contains certain events of default, including payment, breaches of covenants and representations, cross defaults to other material indebtedness, judgment, and changes of control and bankruptcy events of default.

 

2021 Notes

 

On December 21, 2012, Holdings issued $800.0 million of 5.25% senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2021 (the “2021 Notes”).  The proceeds from the 2021 Notes were used to repay the $72.2 million that was outstanding under the Term Loan A and to repay $277.8 million of the outstanding balance of the Term Loan B and the remaining proceeds were used for share repurchases.  Interest payments of $21.0 million are due on January 15 and July 15 (except in 2013 when we will only make one interest payment of $22.3 million on July 15 and in 2021 when we will only make one payment of $21.0 million on January 15).

 

The 2021 Notes are guaranteed by the Loan Parties.  The 2021 Notes contain restrictive covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit or restrict, among other things, the ability of the Loan Parties to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, engage in mergers, consolidations and other fundamental changes, make investments, engage in transactions with affiliates, pay dividends and repurchase capital stock.  The 2021 Notes contain certain events of default, including payment, breaches of covenants and representations, cross defaults to other material indebtedness, judgment, and changes of control and bankruptcy events of default.

 

In connection with the 2012 Credit Facility Amendment, the issuance of the $800.0 million of senior unsecured notes, and the repayment of the Term Loan A and a portion of the Term Loan B, we recorded a $0.6 million loss on debt extinguishment for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

HWP Refinance Loan

 

On November 5, 2007, HWP entered into a $33.0 million term loan (the “Refinance Loan”) retiring (i) the $31.0 million construction-term loan with Marshall Investments Corporation incurred December 17, 2004 and (ii) the term loan and revolving line of credit with BankFirst incurred April 20, 2006.  Borrowings under the Refinance Loan bear interest at 6.72%.  Monthly payments of principal and interest of $0.2 million are payable through November 1, 2017.  On December 1, 2017, all unpaid principal and interest is due and payable.  HWP is subject to various covenants under the Refinance Loan that place certain restrictions limiting or prohibiting engaging in certain types of transactions.  Pursuant to the Refinance Loan, HWP deposited into escrow $1.1 million and $1.2 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and will make additional monthly deposits to cover annual amounts owed for insurance, taxes and furniture, fixture and equipment purchases.

 

In connection with the issuance of the Refinance Loan, Holdings and the other joint venture partners provided a limited guarantee of the Refinance Loan, which becomes operative under certain limited circumstances, including the voluntary bankruptcy of HWP or its managing member and other specified events of default.  The limited guarantee will be released five years following full payment and discharge of the loan.  As additional security for the Refinance Loan, we also provided a $1.0 million letter of credit to secure the Refinance Loan.  In addition, one of our joint venture partners provided a guarantee of the Refinance Loan in the event of certain specific events of default attributable to acts or failure to act by members of HWP.

 

As a result of the Chapter 11 Filing, the Refinance Loan lender was permitted to accelerate payment thereof and therefore we classified the balance in current portion of long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  In July 2012, we received a waiver from the Refinance Loan lender and have reclassified the long-term portion of the Refinance Loan to long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
