Unsecured Credit Facility

On September 10, 2024, we entered into a $1.5 billion unsecured five-year Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) that amended and restated our then-existing $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2024, borrowings under the Credit Agreement were available at variable rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 1.00% or the bank prime rate and we currently pay a commitment fee at an annual rate of 0.10% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The applicable margins over SOFR 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.

The interest rate on the $125.0 million outstanding borrowing under the revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2024 was 6.01%. We had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2023. We had $1.4 million of letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Senior Unsecured Notes

Under the indentures for each series of our senior notes (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. If we experience a change in control accompanied by a downgrade in our credit rating, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase each series of the notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Other Notes, Revolving Credit and Letter of Credit/Letters of Guarantee Facilities

A wholly owned subsidiary in China has a revolving credit facility with a credit limit of $7.8 million as of September 30, 2024 with no outstanding balance as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Various industrial revenue bonds had combined outstanding balances of $1.4 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and have maturities through 2027.

We have a $50.0 million standby letters of credit/letters of guarantee agreement with one of the lenders under our Credit Agreement. A total of $42.7 million and $40.9 million were outstanding under this facility as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Covenants

The Credit Agreement and the indentures include customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default provisions. The covenants under the Credit Agreement include, among other things, a financial maintenance covenant that requires us to comply with a maximum total net leverage ratio. We were in compliance with the financial maintenance covenant in our Credit Agreement at September 30, 2024.
