Unsecured Credit Facility

 

On September 30, 2016, we entered into a $2.1 billion unsecured five-year credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) comprised of a $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and a $600.0 million unsecured term loan, with an option to increase the revolving facility up to an additional $500.0 million at our request, subject to approval of the lenders and certain other customary conditions. The term loan due September 30, 2021 amortizes in quarterly installments, with an annual amortization of 5% through September 2018 and 10% thereafter until June 2021, with the balance to be paid at maturity. Interest on borrowings from the revolving credit facility and term loan at September 30, 2017 was at variable rates based on LIBOR plus 1.25% or the bank prime rate plus 0.25% and included a commitment fee at an annual rate of 0.15% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The applicable margins over LIBOR and base rate borrowings, along with commitment fees, are subject to adjustment every quarter based on our leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. All borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be prepaid without penalty.

 

Weighted average interest rates on borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility were 2.49% and 2.16% as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Weighted average interest rates on borrowings outstanding on the term loan were 2.49% and 2.02% as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. As of September 30, 2017, we had $610.0 million of outstanding borrowings, $63.0 million of letters of credit issued and $827.0 million available for borrowing on the revolving credit facility.

 

Senior Unsecured Notes

 

On November 20, 2006, we entered into an indenture (the “2006 Indenture”), for the issuance of $600.0 million of unsecured debt securities. The total debt issued was comprised of two tranches, (a) $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 6.20% per annum, which matured and were repaid on November 15, 2016 and (b) $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 6.85% per annum, maturing on November 15, 2036.

 

On April 12, 2013, we entered into an indenture (the “2013 Indenture” and, together with the 2006 Indenture, the “Indentures”), for the issuance of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes at the rate of 4.50% per annum, maturing on April 15, 2023. 

 

Under the Indentures, the notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. 

 

The senior unsecured notes include provisions that require us to make an offer to repurchase the notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest in the event of both a change in control and a downgrade of our credit rating.

 

Other Notes and Revolving Credit Facilities

 

Revolving credit facilities with a combined credit limit of approximately $69.8 million are in place for operations in Asia and Europe with combined outstanding balances of $49.2 million and $44.4 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

Various industrial revenue bonds had combined outstanding balances of $10.3 million as of September 30, 2017 and $10.6 million as of December 31, 2016, and have maturities through 2027.

 

Covenants

 

The Credit Agreement and the Indentures include customary representations, warranties, covenants, acceleration, indemnity and events of default provisions. The covenants under the Credit Agreement include, among other things, two financial statement covenants that require us to maintain an interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio.
