The Tranzact Bank Facility has a total commitment of $74.5 million, which consists of a $70.0 million term loan facility and a $4.5 million revolving facility. During the first quarter of 2015, Tranzact repaid a total of $1.3 million under the term loan portion and borrowed $4.5 million under the revolving portion of the Tranzact Bank Facility. As of March 31, 2015, the total amount outstanding under the Tranzact Bank Facility was $71.9 million.
The Tranzact Bank Facility, which is secured by intellectual property and the common stock of Tranzact and its subsidiaries, contains various affirmative, negative and financial covenants which White Mountains considers to be customary for such borrowings, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio.
