9. Credit Agreements and Credit Ratings

Credit Agreements

Effective March 17, 2020, we terminated our $225.0 million revolving credit agreement, which was scheduled to mature on October 22, 2020.  At the time of termination, there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility. We did not incur any early termination penalties in connection with the termination and wrote off $0.5 million in deferred arrangement fees associated with the facility.

In March 2020, we borrowed $436.0 million under our $950.0 million senior 5-year revolving credit agreement, or Credit Agreement, which was entered into on October 2, 2018. The weighted average interest rate on the combined borrowings at March 31, 2020 was 5.32%. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement mature at the earliest of the maturity of the Credit Agreement on October 2, 2023, termination of the commitments or acceleration upon an event of default. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default and the principal and interest due under the Credit Agreement became immediately due and payable and therefore ,have been presented as “Current maturities of long-term debt” in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2020. See Note 13 “Subsequent Events.”

 In January 2020, a $6.0 million financial letter of credit was issued under the Credit Agreement in support of a previously issued surety bond.  See Note 13 “Subsequent Events.”

Credit Ratings

On March 9, 2020, Moody’s Investor Services (“Moody’s), downgraded our current corporate credit rating to Caa1 from B2 and our current senior unsecured notes credit rating to Caa2 from B3.  On April 16, 2020, Moody’s further downgraded both our corporate credit rating and our current senior unsecured notes credit rating to Ca. And, on April 27, 2020, Moody’s downgraded our corporate credit rating to D. The rating outlook from Moody’s is negative.

Additionally, on April 16, 2020, S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) downgraded our corporate and senior unsecured notes credit ratings to CC from CCC+ and our Credit Agreement rating to CC from B-. On April 24, 2020, S&P lowered our corporate credit rating and all issue-level credit ratings to D. Our rating outlook from S&P has been designated as not meaningful.

Our current credit ratings are below investment grade and could raise our cost of financing. Consequently, we may not be able to issue additional debt in amounts and/or with terms that we consider to be reasonable. These ratings could limit our ability to pursue other business opportunities.
