NOTE 10 – FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

 

Revolving Credit Facility

 

On March 30, 2018, we entered into a revolving credit facility with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank that provides for borrowings of up to $50 million. This revolving credit facility expires on March 30, 2020. Borrowings under this revolving credit facility bear interest at either a Prime or LIBOR-based variable rate as selected by us on a periodic basis. There were no borrowings outstanding under this revolving credit facility at February 28, 2019.

 

The revolving credit facility contains certain negative and affirmative covenants including financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum level of earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges (EBITDA) to interest ratio and a minimum senior indebtedness ratio as well as a total indebtedness coverage ratio, both measured on a quarterly basis.

Convertible Senior Unsecured Notes

 

We have two outstanding convertible senior unsecured notes – a $122.5 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior unsecured notes due 2020 (“2020 Convertible Notes”) and a $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior unsecured notes due 2025 (“2025 Convertible Notes”, and collectively with the 2020 Convertible Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes are carried at their principal face amount, less unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, and are not carried at fair value at each period end. Balances attributable to the Notes consist of the following (in thousands):

Accounting guidance requires that convertible debt that can be settled for cash be separated into the liability and equity component at issuance and each be assigned a value. The value assigned to the liability component is the estimated fair value, as of the issuance date, of a similar debt without the conversion feature. The different between the principal amount of the debt and the estimated fair value of the liability component, representing the value of the embedded conversion option assigned to the equity component, is recorded as a debt discount on the issuance date. The fair value of the liability component is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis, in which the projected interest and principal payments were discounted back to the issuance date at a market interest rate that represents a Level 3 fair value measurement. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method with an effective interest rate equal to the aforementioned market interest rate over the term of the debt. The remaining gross proceeds net of the liability component represents the fair value of the embedded conversion feature that was recorded as an increase in additional paid-in capital within the stockholders’ equity section. The associated deferred tax effect was recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. The amounts recorded in additional paid-in capital is not to be remeasured as long as the embedded conversion option continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. As of February 28, 2019, the Notes continue to meet the conditions for equity classification.

Further, the issuance costs related to the debt are also allocated to the liability and equity components based on the relative fair values. Issuance costs attributable to the liability component were recorded as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt and are being amortized to expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest method. The issuance costs attributable to the equity component were recorded as a charge to the additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity. Lastly, the deferred tax effect related to the equity component of the issuance costs was also recorded to additional paid-in capital as such costs are deductible for tax purposes.

2020 Convertible Notes

In May 2015, we issued $172.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Convertible Notes. The 2020 Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations and bear interest at a rate of 1.625% per year payable in cash on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 2020 Convertible Notes mature on May 15, 2020 unless converted earlier or repurchased in accordance with their terms. We may not redeem the 2020 Convertible Notes prior to their stated maturity date and they will be convertible into cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election, based on an initial conversion rate and initial conversion price as noted above. Holders may convert their 2020 Convertible Notes at their option at any time prior to November 15, 2019 upon the occurrence of certain events in the future, as defined in the indenture agreement dated May 6, 2015 (the “2020 Indenture”). During the period from November 15, 2019 to May 13, 2020, holders may convert all or any portion of their 2020 Convertible Notes regardless of the foregoing conditions. Our intent is to settle the principal amount of the 2020 Convertible Notes in cash upon conversion. If the conversion value exceeds the principal amount, we would deliver shares of common stock in respect to the remainder of the conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount (the “conversion spread”). The shares associated with the conversion spread, if any, would be included in the denominator for the computation of diluted earnings per share, with such shares calculated using the average closing price of our common stock during each period. As of February 28, 2019, none of the conditions allowing holders of the 2020 Convertible Notes to convert have been met as our shares have been trading under the initial conversion price.

 

The 2020 Indenture contains customary terms and conditions, including that upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, by notice to us and the Trustee, may declare 100% of the principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the 2020 Convertible Notes then outstanding to be due and payable immediately. Such events of default include, without limitation, the default by us or any of our subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness for borrowed money in excess of $10 million and the entry of judgments for the payment of $10 million or more against us or any of our subsidiaries which are not paid, discharged or stayed within 60 days.

 

If we undergo a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), holders of the 2020 Convertible Notes may require us to repurchase their Notes at a repurchase price of 100% of the principal amount of the 2020 Convertible Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the fundamental change repurchase date.

 

In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to maturity, we will increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert our Notes in connection with such a corporate event in certain circumstances. In such event, an aggregate of up to 2.5 million additional shares of common stock could be issued upon conversions in connection with such corporate events, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the conversion rate.

 

In May 2016, in connection with the 2020 Convertible Notes, we entered into note hedge transactions relating to million shares of common stock with certain counterparties. The note hedges represent call options from the counterparties with respect to $ million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Convertible Notes. We paid $ million for the note hedges and, as a result, approximately $ million, net of tax, was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity.

 

 

 

Separately, we entered into warrant transactions with the same counterparties, giving them the right to acquire the same number of shares of common stock that underlie the 2020 Convertible Notes at a strike price of $39.42 per share which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of our common stock of $19.71 on April 30, 2015, the date on which the 2020 Convertible Notes were priced. The warrants will be exercisable in equal installments for a period of 80 trading days beginning on August 15, 2020. We received a total amount of $16.0 million in cash proceeds from the sale and issuance of the warrants.

 

         

 

 

On July 20, 2018, we entered into separate, privately negotiated purchase agreements to repurchase approximately $50 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2020 Convertible Notes for $53.8 million including accrued interest, by using a portion of the net proceeds from the 2025 Convertible Notes. The repurchase is accounted for as an extinguishment of debt, not a modification of debt. We allocated the repurchase price of $53.7 million between the fair value of the liability of $47.6 million and the equity component of $6.1 million. The fair value of the liability component was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis at a market interest rate for nonconvertible debt of 4.36% based on the remaining maturity of the 2020 Convertible Notes, which represented a Level 3 fair value measurement. The carrying value of the repurchased notes was $45.6 million, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.0 million. We also received proceeds of $3.1 million from the unwinding of the note hedge and warrants, which was recorded as additional paid-in capital.

  

2025 Convertible Notes

 

On July 20, 2018, we issued $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes. These notes were issued under an indenture, dated July 20, 2018 (the “2025 Indenture”) between us and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee.

 

The proceeds from the sale of the 2025 Convertible Notes were $222.7 million, after deducting issuance costs of $7.3 million. We used approximately $90.0 million of the net proceeds from this offering to (i) pay the cost of the capped call transactions of $21.2 million; (ii) repurchase shares of our common stock of approximately $15.0 million; and (iii) repurchase in privately negotiated transactions approximately $50 million principal of our outstanding 2020 Convertible Notes for approximately $53.8 million including accrued interest. We expect to use the remaining proceeds for working capital or other general corporate purposes, which may include but not limited to, additional repurchases of the 2020 Convertible Notes, repurchases for shares of our common stock and acquisitions or other strategic transactions.

 

The 2025 Indenture contains customary terms and conditions, including that upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, either the Trustee, by notice to us, or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, by notice to us and the Trustee, may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the 2025 Convertible Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately. Such events of default include, without limitation, the default by us or any of our subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness for borrowed money in excess of $10 million and the entry of judgments for the payment of $15 million or more against us or any of our subsidiaries, which are not paid, discharged or stayed within 60 days.

 

The 2025 Convertible Notes bear interest at 2.00% per year payable semiannually in arrears in cash on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2019. The 2025 Convertible Notes will mature on August 1, 2025, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased by us in accordance with their terms. We may redeem the Notes at our option at any time on or after August 6, 2022 at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount plus accrued interest, but only if the last reported sale price per share of our stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date we send the related redemption notice; and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date we send such notice. The 2025 Convertible Notes rank senior in right of payment to any existing or future indebtedness which is subordinated by its terms, ranks equally in right of payment to any indebtedness that is not so subordinated, is structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and liabilities of our subsidiaries and is effectively junior to our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

 

The 2025 Convertible Notes are convertible into cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of both, at our election, based on an initial conversion rate and initial conversion price as noted above. Holders may convert their 2025 Convertible Notes at their option upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined in the 2025 Indenture.

 

Upon the occurrence of a “make-whole fundamental change” (as defined in the 2025 Indenture), we will in certain circumstances increase the conversion rate for a specific period of time. Additionally, upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change” (as defined in the 2025 Indenture), holders of the notes may require us to repurchase their notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. As of February 28, 2019, none of the conditions allowing the holders of the 2025 Convertible Notes to convert have been met.

 

      

In July 2018, in connection with the 2025 Convertible Notes, we entered into capped call transactions with certain option counterparties who were initial purchasers of the 2025 Convertible Notes. The capped call transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution of earnings per share upon conversion of the 2025 Convertible Notes. Under the capped call transactions, we purchased options that in the aggregate relate to the total number shares of 7.48 million shares of common stock underlying the notes, with a strike price equal to the conversion price of the notes and with a cap price equal to $41.3875. We paid $21.2 million for the note hedges and as a result, approximately $15.9 million, net of tax, was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity.

 

We elected to integrate the note hedges and capped call with the Notes for federal income tax purposes pursuant to applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations. Accordingly, the cost of the note hedges will be deductible for income tax purposes as original issue discount interest over the term of Notes.
