(2)   Assuming successful completion of this offering, we expect that the New Revolving Credit Facility will provide for aggregate borrowings of up to $550.0 million. After giving pro forma effect to the consummation of the Acquisition and this offering, we expect that the Company will have approximately $320.6 million of availability under the New Revolving Credit Facility (or approximately $358.0 million if the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full). To the extent that the gross proceeds of this offering are less than $257.3 million, we will correspondingly increase the amount drawn under our New Revolving Credit Facility on a dollar for dollar basis.

(3)   Consists of our estimate of fees and expenses associated with the Acquisition and the associated financing transactions, including placement fees, arranging fees and other financing fees and other transaction costs and advisory and professional fees, including underwriting discounts and commissions payable on the shares offered hereby.

Pro Forma Interest Expense:   

For the year ended December 31, 2018 and the three months ended March 31, 2019, pro forma interest expense would have been $29.4 million and $7.3 million, respectively, after giving effect to the Transactions, assuming the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full. If the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares is not exercised, additional borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility would result in an increase in pro forma interest expense of $1.9 million and $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the three months ended March 31, 2019, respectively. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information” included in the Prospectus Supplement.

 

The weighted-average interest rate on the New Term Loan Facility and the New Revolving Credit Facility is expected to be 4.59%, based upon current market interest rates as of March 31, 2019. The actual financing and terms of the financing will be subject to market conditions. A 1/8% change in interest rates on the debt to be incurred as part of the Transactions would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $0.8 million annually.
