2020 Senior Notes
On October 9, 2020, the Company completed a private placement transaction and entered into a Note Purchase Agreement, whereby the Company agreed to borrow $150.0 million of senior unsecured notes (the "2020 Senior Notes"), consisting of two separate tranches:

7-year borrowing: $70.0 million priced at 2.77% coupon; and

The $80.0 million tranche was funded on December 17, 2020. The $70.0 million tranche was funded in January 2021. The Company used the proceeds to repay the existing $125.0 million 5.42% Senior Notes that matured on January 20, 2021, as well as for general corporate purposes. Interest on the 2020 Senior Notes was paid semi-annually. In connection with the 2020 Senior Notes, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $0.6 million. These costs were allocated between the two tranches and were amortized over periods of seven and 12 years.
On May 13, 2022, the 2020 Senior Notes were repaid with proceeds from the 2022 Credit Agreement, which is described below.
2022 Credit Agreement and Term Loan B

On May 13, 2022, the Company replaced the 2021 Credit Agreement with a new Credit Agreement (the "2022 Credit Agreement") by and among the Company, borrower, Citibank, N.A., as administrative and collateral agent, and the other agents and lender parties thereto the 2022 Credit Agreement. The 2022 Credit Agreement includes the following significant terms;

i.provides for a senior secured initial term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $1.3 billion (the "Term Loan B"), due May 13, 2029, which is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company;
ii.provides for a maximum senior secured revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), due May 13, 2027;
iii.includes a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $100.0 million, which is part of, and not in addition to, the Revolving Credit Facility;
iv.borrowings under the Term Loan B and the Revolving Credit Facility each bear an interest rate of Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 4.25%;
v.includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default; including restrictions on the incurrence of non-ordinary course debt, investment and dividends, subject to various exceptions, and;
vi.includes a maximum quarterly leverage ratio financial covenant with reporting requirements at each quarter-end;
The Company utilizes proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility primarily to finance working capital needs, capital improvements, dividends, acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. The proceeds of the Term Loan B were used to finance a portion of the Precoat Acquisition, pay transaction-related costs owed under the Securities Purchase Agreement (defined below) and refinance certain prior indebtedness, including the repayment of outstanding borrowings under the 2021 Credit Agreement. The proceeds were also utilized to redeem 100% of the Company’s 2020 Senior Notes on June 6, 2022.
As defined in the credit agreement, quarterly prepayments will be made against the outstanding principal of the Term Loan B and are payable on the last business day of each May, August, November and February, beginning August 31, 2022, in a quarterly aggregate principal amount of $3.25 million, with the entire remaining principal amount due on May 13, 2029, the maturity date. Additional prepayments made against the Term Loan B contribute to these required quarterly payments. On September 30, 2022, $240.0 million was applied to the Term Loan B in connection with the sale of AIS. As a result of this prepayment, the quarterly mandatory principal payment requirement has been met, and the quarterly payments of $3.25 million are no longer required.
The effective interest rate for the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan B was 8.81% at February 28, 2023.
The Company's credit agreement requires the Company to maintain a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the loan agreement) no greater than 6.25 through November 2022. For each subsequent quarter, the maximum ratio decreases by 25 basis points through May 31, 2024, when the maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio reaches 4.5. The leverage ratio as of February 28, 2023 was 5.75.

Convertible Subordinated Notes

On May 13, 2022, the Company completed the issuance of $240.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.00% convertible subordinated notes due June 30, 2030 (the "Convertible Notes") pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") with BTO Pegasus Holdings DE L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (together with its assignees, "Blackstone"), an investment vehicle of funds affiliated with Blackstone Inc. Interest on the Convertible Notes was payable on June 30 and December 31. The Convertible Notes were exchanged for 240,000 shares of the Company's 6.0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on August 5, 2022, following the receipt of shareholder approval for the issuance of preferred shares. See Note 10 for a description of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
The Company used the proceeds of the Convertible Notes, along with the Term Loan B, to fund the Company’s Precoat Acquisition.
