2013 Credit Agreement
On March 22, 2013, we, certain of our subsidiaries, Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), as Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and L/C Issuer, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“MLPFS”), J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“JPM Securities”), HSBC Bank USA, National Association (“HSBC”) and U.S. Bank, National Association (“US Bank”), as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Managers, JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. (“JPMorgan”), HSBC and US Bank, as Joint Syndication Agents, and the other lenders party thereto entered into an amended and restated agreement (the “2013 Credit Agreement”) providing for a five-year term loan of $200 million and a revolving credit facility in the amount of up to $300 million, plus additional amounts of up to $200 million of loans to be made available upon our request subject to specified terms and conditions. A portion of the revolving credit facility is available for swingline loans of up to a sublimit of $75 million and for the issuance of standby letters of credit of up to a sublimit of $10 million.

On March 22, 2013, we drew down $107.5 million under the 2013 Credit Agreement resulting in total outstanding borrowings of $400 million as of March 31, 2013. We used the proceeds of the borrowing (i) to repay outstanding amounts under our existing four short-term credit facilities with each of Bank of America, HSBC, TD Bank, N.A. and US Bank (collectively, the “Short Term Credit Facilities”), (ii) for stock repurchases and (iii) for other general corporate purposes.
The obligations under the 2013 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of our material domestic subsidiaries, and the obligations, if any, of any foreign designated borrower are guaranteed by us and certain of our material domestic subsidiaries.
Borrowings (other than swingline loans) under the 2013 Credit Agreement bear interest, at our determination, at a rate based on either (a) LIBOR plus a margin (not to exceed a per annum rate of 1.750%) based on a ratio of consolidated funded debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) (the “Leverage Ratio”) or (b) the highest of (i) prime, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, and (iii) the one month LIBOR rate plus 1.00% (such highest rate, the “Alternate Base Rate”), plus a margin (not to exceed a per annum rate of 0.750%) based on the Leverage Ratio. Swingline loans in U.S. dollars bear interest calculated at the Alternate Base Rate plus a margin (not to exceed a per annum rate of 0.750%).
Loans outstanding under the 2013 Credit Agreement may be prepaid at any time in whole or in part without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs, if any, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the 2013 Credit Agreement. The 2013 Credit Agreement terminates and any outstanding loans under it mature on March 22, 2018 (“the Maturity Date”).
Repayment of the principal borrowed under the revolving credit facility (other than a swingline loan) is due on the Maturity Date. Repayment of principal borrowed under the term loan facility is as follows, with the final payment of all amounts outstanding, plus accrued interest, being due on the Maturity Date:
1.25% by quarterly term loan amortization payments to be made commencing June 2013 and made prior to June 30, 2015;
2.50% by quarterly term loan amortization payments to be made on or after June 30, 2015, but prior to June 30, 2016;
5.00% by quarterly term loan amortization payments to be made on or after June 30, 2016, but prior to June 30, 2017;
7.50% by quarterly term loan amortization payment to be made on or after June 30, 2017, but prior to the Maturity Date; and
37.50% on the Maturity Date
Our obligations under the 2013 Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default, which includes customary events of default, including payment defaults, defaults in the performance of affirmative and negative covenants, the inaccuracy of representations or warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency related defaults, cross defaults to material indebtedness, defaults relating to such matters as ERISA and judgments, and a change of control default.
The 2013 Credit Agreement contains negative covenants applicable to us and our subsidiaries, including financial covenants requiring us to comply with maximum leverage ratios and minimum interest coverage ratios, as well as restrictions on liens, investments, indebtedness, fundamental changes, acquisitions, dispositions of property, making specified restricted payments (including stock repurchases exceeding an agreed to percentage of consolidated net income), and transactions with affiliates. As of March 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants under the 2013 Credit Agreement.
In connection with the 2013 Credit Agreement, we agreed to pay a commitment fee on the revolving loan commitment calculated as a percentage of the unused amount of the revolving loan commitment at a per annum rate of up to 0.350% (based on the Leverage Ratio). To the extent there are letters of credit outstanding under the 2013 Credit Agreement, we will pay letter of credit fees plus a fronting fee and additional charges. We also paid various customary fees to secure this arrangement, which are being amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the debt.
As of March 31, 2013, we had $200 million of principal borrowed under the revolving credit facility and $200 million of
principal under the term loan. The outstanding amounts are presented net of debt issuance cost of approximately $3.6 million in our consolidated balance sheets. We have borrowing availability of $100 million under the revolving credit facility.
In September 2011, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement and an interest rate cap agreement. Prior to the execution of the 2013 Credit Agreement, the interest rate swap and cap agreements hedged principal under our 2011 Credit Agreement, as discussed below. The interest rate swap and cap agreements now hedge a portion of the principal under our 2013 Credit Agreement. Specifically, principal in the amount of $100.0 million under our 2013 Credit Agreement has been hedged with the interest rate swap agreement and carries a fixed interest rate of 1.30% plus an applicable margin. Principal in the amount of $50.0 million has been hedged with the interest rate cap arrangement with an interest rate cap of 2.00% plus an applicable margin. As of March 31, 2013, our debt under the 2013 Credit Agreement, including the $100.0 million of principal hedged with an interest swap agreement, carried an average annualized interest rate of 1.73%. These interest rate hedges were deemed to be fully effective in accordance with ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and, as such, unrealized gains and losses related to these derivatives are recorded as other comprehensive income.
2012 Term Loan and Facilities
On December 20, 2012, we entered into a new $100.0 million unsecured term loan agreement (the “2012 Term Loan”) with Bank of America, which was initially guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries, but which guarantees were released in connection with the partial prepayment of the 2012 Term Loan in January 2013. The 2012 Term Loan was used to fund our acquisition of Liquent (see Note 2).
The 2012 Term Loan consisted of a term loan facility for $100.0 million, the full amount of which was advanced to us on December 21, 2012 and was scheduled to mature on June 30, 2013. Borrowings made under the 2012 Term Loan bore interest, at our option, at a base rate plus a margin (such margin not to exceed a per annum rate of 0.75%) based on a ratio of consolidated funded debt to EBITDA for the preceding twelve months (the “2012 Term Loan Leverage Ratio”), or at a LIBOR rate plus a margin (such margin not to exceed a per annum rate of 1.75%) based on the 2012 Term Loan Leverage Ratio. As of March 31, 2013, all outstanding amounts under the 2012 Term Loan were fully repaid with the proceeds from the 2013 Credit Agreement.
On January 22, 2013, we entered into additional short term unsecured term loan agreements with each of HSBC, TD Bank, N.A., and US Bank, each in the amount of $25.0 million (collectively, the “2013 Facilities”). The key terms of the 2013 Facilities were substantially the same as the 2012 Term Loan, including the loan maturities on June 30, 2013, except that there were no guaranties provided by any of our subsidiaries. The $75.0 million aggregate proceeds of the 2013 Facilities were used to partially pay down balances owed under the 2012 Term Loan, and in connection with such payment, Bank of America released our subsidiaries from their guaranty obligations under the 2012 Term Loan.
As of March 31, 2013, all outstanding amounts under the 2013 Facilities were fully repaid with the proceeds from the 2013 Credit Agreement.
2011 Credit Agreement
On June 30, 2011, we entered into the 2011 Credit Agreement providing for a five-year term loan of $100 million and a five-year revolving credit facility in the principal amount of up to $300 million. The borrowings all carried a variable interest rate based on LIBOR, prime, or a similar index, plus a margin (such margin not to exceed a per annum rate of 1.75%).
On March 22, 2013, the 2011 Credit Agreement was amended and restated in its entirety by the 2013 Credit Agreement. All amounts outstanding under the 2011 Credit Agreement immediately prior to the execution of the 2013 Credit Agreement were deemed to be outstanding under the terms and conditions of the 2013 Credit Agreement.
As discussed above, in September 2011, we entered into an interest rate swap and an interest rate cap agreement. Prior to the execution of the 2013 Credit Agreement, principal in the amount of $100.0 million under the 2011 Credit Agreement had been hedged with an interest rate swap agreement and carried a fixed interest rate of 1.30% plus an applicable margin. Principal in the amount of $50.0 million had been hedged with an interest rate cap arrangement with an interest rate cap of 2.00% plus an applicable margin. As of March 31, 2013, the interest rate swap and cap agreements hedge a portion of the outstanding principal under our 2013 Credit Agreement.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2013, we made principal payments of $2.5 million on the term loan under the 2011 Credit Agreement.
Additional Lines of Credit
We have an unsecured line of credit with JP Morgan UK in the amount of $4.5 million that bears interest at an annual rate ranging between 2.00% and 4.00%. We entered into this line of credit to facilitate business transactions. At March 31, 2013, we had $4.5 million available under this line of credit.
We have a cash pool facility with RBS Nederland, NV in the amount of 5.0 million Euros that bears interest at an annual rate ranging between 1.00% and 2.00%. We entered into this line of credit to facilitate business transactions. At March 31, 2013, we had 5.0 million Euros available under this line of credit.
We have a cash pooling arrangement with RBS Nederland, NV. Pooling occurs when debit balances are offset against credit balances and the overall net position is used as a basis by the bank for calculating the overall pool interest amount. Each legal entity owned by us and party to this arrangement remains the owner of either a credit (deposit) or a debit (overdraft) balance. Therefore, interest income is earned by legal entities with credit balances, while interest expense is charged to legal entities with debit balances. Based on the pool’s aggregate balance, the bank then (1) recalculates the overall interest to be charged or earned, (2) compares this amount with the sum of previously charged/earned interest amounts per account and (3) additionally pays/charges the difference. The gross overdraft balance related to this pooling arrangement was $55.7 million and $63.4 million at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively, and was included in cash and cash equivalents.
