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

 

Our net revolving line of credit availability at January 24, 2016, as limited by our outstanding borrowings, was approximately $195,200, after consideration of approximately $8,400 in outstanding letters of credit. We have an annual commitment fee related to the unused portion of the Credit Facility of up to 0.55% which is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The weighted average effective interest rates of the Credit Facility for the nine months ended January 24, 2016 was 2.57%.

 

The Credit Facility includes a number of affirmative and negative covenants. Additionally, we must comply with certain financial covenants including maintenance of a total leverage ratio, senior secured 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 the covenants as of January 24, 2016.

 

5.875% Senior Notes—In March 2013, we issued $350,000 of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2021 (“5.875% Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance were used to repay term loans under our Credit Facility. On April 14, 2015, we issued an additional $150,000 of 5.875% Senior Notes at a price of 102.0%, which have the same terms and are treated as the same class as the outstanding 5.875% Senior Notes (the “April 2015 issuance”). After deducting the underwriting fees, the net proceeds of $151,500 from the April 2015 issuance were used to purchase a portion of the 7.75% Senior Notes validly tendered pursuant to a cash tender offer for any and all of our outstanding 7.75% Senior Notes (the “Tender Offer”). As a result of these issuances, we capitalized deferred financing costs of $215 in the nine months ended January 24, 2016 and $2,536 in fiscal 2015.

 

The 5.875% Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations and rank junior to all of our senior secured indebtedness and senior to our senior subordinated indebtedness. The 5.875% Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time on or after March 15, 2016, with call premiums as defined in the indenture governing the 5.875% Senior Notes.

 

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”).  On April 13, 2015, we accepted for purchase $237,832 of the outstanding 7.75% Senior Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer and we funded the payments utilizing the net proceeds from the 5.875% Senior Notes April 2015 issuance, additional borrowings under our Credit Facility and cash on hand. On April 14, 2015, we issued an irrevocable notice of redemption of the remaining $62,168 of outstanding 7.75% Senior Notes at a redemption price of 103.875% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest at the redemption date in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 7.75% Senior Notes.  On May 14, 2015, we completed the redemption for approximately $65,000, utilizing additional borrowings under our Credit Facility and cash on hand. As a result of the completed redemption, we incurred expenses related to the write-off of the remaining deferred financing costs and the discount, redemption fees and other related costs of $2,966, recorded as a loss on early extinguishment of debt in the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended January 24, 2016.

 

8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes — In August 2012, we issued $350,000 of 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 (“8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes”).  The 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes are general unsecured obligations and rank junior to all of our senior indebtedness. The 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option at any time on or after June 15, 2016, with call premiums as defined in the indenture governing the 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes.

 

The 5.875% Senior Notes and 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes are guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by substantially all of our significant subsidiaries and certain other subsidiaries as described in Note 12. All of the guarantor subsidiaries are wholly owned by us.

 

The indentures governing the 5.875% Senior Notes and 8.875% Senior Subordinated Notes limit, 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 indentures also limit our ability to issue and sell capital stock of subsidiaries, sell assets in excess of specified amounts or merge with or into other companies.
