LONG-TERM DEBT:
Credit Agreement Amendment
On June 5, 2018 the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 (the Amendment) to the Credit Agreement, the Third Amended and Restated Senior Secured Syndicated Credit Facility Agreement (the Amended Credit Agreement). At closing, the credit facilities under the Amended Credit Agreement were comprised of a $1,423.0 million United States term loan, a £272.9 million (or $365.2 million at the exchange rate on June 5, 2018) U.K. term loan and a $625.0 million revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility includes borrowing capacity for letters of credit and swingline loans. The Amendment also extended the maturity date of the Company's credit facilities to June 5, 2023.
In connection with entering into the Amendment, the Company wrote-off $2.2 million of unamortized deferred financing fees and capitalized an additional $5.3 million of new fees. Deferred financing costs are amortized as additional interest expense over the terms of the related debt using the effective-interest method for the term loan debt and the straight-line method for the revolving credit facility.
At the Company's election, at the time of entering into a specific borrowing, interest on that borrowing is calculated under a "LIBOR" or "Base Rate." LIBOR is the London Interbank Offered Rate. As of June 5, 2018, 100% of the Company's term loan and revolver borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement are LIBOR Rate loans. The applicable borrowing spread for the LIBOR Rate loans will initially be 1.50% over LIBOR, and, following the Company's first quarterly compliance certificate, will range from 1.00% to 2.00% depending on the Company's total leverage ratio. The applicable spread for the Base Rate loans will initially be 0.50% over the base rate, and, following the Company's first quarterly compliance certificate, will range from 0.00% to 1.00% depending on the Company's total leverage ratio.
In addition to paying interest on any outstanding borrowing under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee related to the unutilized portion of the commitments under the revolving credit facility. The commitment fee will initially be 0.25%, and, following the Company's first quarterly compliance certificate, will range from 0.20% to 0.30% depending on the Company's total leverage ratio as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement.
Since entering into the Amendment, the Company has made prepayments of $105.0 million on its United States term loan and £15.0 million (or $19.8 million at the exchange rate the payment was made) on its U.K. term loan, which were applied towards its future quarterly installments. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had the following amounts of term loans outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement (amounts in thousands, except percentages):

Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company is required to comply with specified maximum senior secured leverage ratios. The maximum senior secured leverage ratio is set at 4.25 to 1.00 through June 30, 2019, and then, except as described below, decreases to 4.00 to 1.00 for all periods thereafter, subject, if applicable, to netting of certain cash and cash equivalents of the Company. Following acquisitions by the Company in excess of $500 million, subject to certain limitations, the senior secured leverage ratio will be set at a level of 4.50 to 1.00 for the four fiscal quarters immediately following the date of such applicable acquisition.
In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement contains a maximum total leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio. The maximum total leverage ratio is 4.50 to 1.00 and the minimum interest coverage ratio is 3.50 to 1.00 for the term of the Amended Credit Agreement.
The Amendment permits the Company to repurchase an unlimited amount of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock if the Company’s total leverage ratio after giving effect to such repurchases on a pro forma basis would be less than 3.25 to 1.00, subject to certain other restrictions and limitations. If the Company’s total leverage ratio after giving effect to such repurchases on a pro forma basis would exceed 3.25 to 1.00, the Company may, subject to certain limitations, repurchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock with a value of up to the sum of $500 million and the amount remaining under the Company’s current share repurchase program as of June 5, 2018 of $107.7 million, if the Company maintains at least $100 million of liquidity.
As of June 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement.
