Note 5.  Debt

 

In October 2014, we amended and restated our revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) with certain domestic and foreign banks, which increased the amount available thereunder from $675 million to $700 million.  The amendment also extended the Revolver’s maturity date from December 22, 2016 to October 3, 2019 and adjusted pricing to reflect favorable market conditions.  The maturity date may be extended for one-year periods under certain circumstances as set forth in the agreement. The commitments under the Revolver may be increased by up to $325 million, subject to lender approval and customary requirements.  Financing available under the Revolver is used as a back-up facility for our commercial paper issuance and can be used to finance other corporate requirements.

 

The estimated fair value of our long-term debt is primarily based on the credit spread above U.S. Treasury securities on notes with similar rates, credit ratings, and remaining maturities.  The fair value of short-term borrowings, which include commercial paper issuances and short-term lines of credit, approximates carrying value given the short duration of these obligations.  The fair value of our total debt was $1.19 billion at September 27, 2014 and $1.06 billion at December 28, 2013.  Fair value amounts were determined primarily based on Level 2 inputs.

 

Our various loan agreements require that we maintain specified financial covenant ratios of total debt and interest expense in relation to certain measures of income.  As of September 27, 2014, we were in compliance with our financial covenants.
