Credit Facility - Our Senior Secured Credit Facility, as amended (“Credit Facility”), consists of a $300,000 revolving line of credit and a $500,000 term loan.  The Credit Facility is secured on a first priority basis by substantially all of our assets and guaranteed by all of our significant subsidiaries.

 

Our net line of credit availability at January 27, 2013, as limited by our maximum senior secured leverage covenant, was approximately $243,000, after consideration of $30,000 in outstanding surety bonds and letters of credit. We pay a commitment fee related to the unused portion of the Credit Facility of up to 0.625% which is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  The weighted average effective interest rate of the Credit Facility for the nine months ended January 27, 2013 was 5.10%.

 

The Credit Facility includes a number of affirmative and negative covenants. Additionally, we must comply with certain financial covenants including maintenance of a senior secured leverage ratio, a total leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio.  The Credit Facility also restricts our ability to make certain investments or distributions.  We were in compliance with all covenants as of January 27, 2013.

 

7.75% Senior Notes — In March 2011, we issued $300,000 of 7.75% Senior Notes due 2019 at a price of 99.264% (“7.75% Senior Notes”).  The 7.75% Senior Notes are guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by substantially all of our significant subsidiaries and certain other subsidiaries as described in Note 13.  All of the guarantor subsidiaries are wholly owned by us.  The 7.75% Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations and rank junior to all of our senior secured indebtedness and senior to our senior subordinated indebtedness.  The 7.75% Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time on or after March 15, 2015, with call premiums as defined in the indenture governing the Senior Notes.

 

The indenture governing the 7.75% Senior Notes limits, among other things, our ability and our restricted subsidiaries ability to borrow money, make restricted payments, use assets as security in other transactions, enter into transactions with affiliates, pay dividends, or repurchase stock. The indenture also limits our ability to issue and sell capital stock of subsidiaries, sell assets in excess of specified amounts or merge with or into other companies.

 

8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes — On August 7, 2012,  we completed the issuance and sale of $350,000 of 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 (the “New Subordinated Notes”) in a private offering. We received net proceeds of $343,000 for this issuance after deducting underwriting fees. We repurchased and retired all of our $357,275, 7% Senior Subordinated Notes with proceeds from the issuance of the New Subordinated Notes and cash on hand.

 

As a result of the above transactions, we incurred expenses related to the write-off of deferred financing costs, issuance costs and other related fees of approximately $2,500, including $1,000 in non-cash charges, during the nine months ended January 27, 2013.
