On May 22, 2017, the Company issued $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Senior Notes due in 2020 (the Floating Rate Notes) and $300,000,000 principal amount of 3.450% Senior Notes due in 2027 (the 3.450% Senior Notes, and together with the Floating Rate Notes, the Senior Notes).  The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company.  The 3.450% Senior Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part prior to March 1, 2027 at a make-whole redemption price, or on or after March 1, 2027 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, in either case plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but excluding, the date of redemption.  The Floating Rate Notes may not be redeemed prior to their stated maturity date of May 22, 2020.  The Floating Rate Notes bear interest at a rate, reset quarterly, equal to the three-month LIBOR for U.S. dollars plus 0.65% (or 65 basis points).  If a change of control repurchase event, as defined, occurs, the Company will be required to make an irrevocable offer to repurchase all or, at the election of each holder, any part of the Senior Notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but excluding, the date of repurchase, unless, in the case of the 3.450% Senior Notes, the Company has exercised its right to redeem such notes in full.

Long-Term Debt (continued)

The Company, through a wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary, has a $300,000,000 trade receivable securitization facility (the Trade Receivable Facility), which matures on September 27, 2017.  Management intends to renew the Trade Receivable Facility beyond September 27, 2017.  The Trade Receivable Facility, with SunTrust Bank, Regions Bank, PNC Bank, N.A., The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, LTD., New York Branch, and certain other lenders that may become a party to the facility from time to time, is backed by eligible trade receivables, as defined, and is limited to the lesser of the facility limit or the borrowing base, as defined, of $422,624,000, $333,302,000 and $391,600,000 at June 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively.  These receivables are originated by the Company and then sold to the wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary by the Company.  The Company continues to be responsible for the servicing and administration of the receivables purchased by the wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary.  Borrowings under the Trade Receivable Facility bear interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 0.725%, subject to change in the event that this rate no longer reflects the lender’s cost of lending.  The Trade Receivable Facility contains a cross-default provision to the Company’s other debt agreements.

The Company has a $700,000,000 five-year senior unsecured revolving facility (the Revolving Facility) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Branch Banking and Trust Company (BB&T), Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc., SunTrust Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Co-Syndication Agents, and the lenders party thereto.  The Revolving Facility requires the Company’s ratio of consolidated debt-to-consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA), as defined by the Revolving Facility, for the trailing-twelve months (the Ratio) to not exceed 3.50x as of the end of any fiscal quarter, provided that the Company may exclude from the Ratio debt incurred in connection with certain acquisitions during such quarter or the three preceding quarters so long as the Ratio calculated without such exclusion does not exceed 3.75x. Additionally, if no amounts are outstanding under both the Revolving Facility and the Trade Receivable Facility, consolidated debt, including debt for which the Company is a co-borrower, may be reduced by the Company’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50,000,000, such reduction not to exceed $200,000,000, for purposes of the covenant calculation.  The Company was in compliance with this Ratio at June 30, 2017.

Available borrowings under the Revolving Facility are reduced by any outstanding letters of credit issued by the Company under the Revolving Facility. At June 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the Company had $2,507,000 of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Revolving Facility.

Current maturities of long-term debt and short-term facilities consist of borrowings under the Trade Receivable Facility as well as the current portions of the other notes. The 6.65% Senior Notes, due 2018, have been classified as a noncurrent liability as the Company has the intent and ability to refinance on a long-term basis before or at its maturity on April 15, 2018.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss includes the unamortized value of terminated forward starting interest rate swap agreements. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized $364,000 and $720,000, respectively, as additional interest expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized $340,000 and $672,000, respectively, as additional interest expense. The ongoing amortization of the terminated value of the forward starting interest rate swap agreements will increase annual interest expense by approximately $1,400,000 until the maturity of the 6.6% Senior Notes in 2018.
