The Company maintains a revolving credit facility to finance the acquisition of  commercial aircraft and aircraft engines and related aircraft equipment for lease as well as for general working capital purposes. The $890 million revolving credit facility has an accordion feature which would expand the entire credit facility up to $1 billion. The interest rate is adjusted quarterly, based on the Company’s leverage ratio, as calculated under the terms of the revolving credit facility. 

On February 28, 2019, the Company closed on a loan with a maturity date of July 2022 totaling $8.1 million.  Interest is payable at three-month LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.85% to 5.25% and principal and interest are paid quarterly.  The loan is secured by two engines.

Virtually all of the above debt requires ongoing compliance with the covenants of each financing, including debt/equity ratios, minimum tangible net worth and minimum interest coverage ratios, and other eligibility criteria including customer and geographic concentration restrictions. The Company also has certain negative financial covenants such as liens, advances, change in business, sales of assets, dividends and stock repurchases. These covenants are tested either monthly or quarterly and the Company was in full compliance with all financial covenant requirements at March 31, 2019.
