 The current maturities of debt include contractual maturities, as well as amounts borrowed that are supported by credit facilities that have a term of less than one year and amounts borrowed under credit facilities with terms longer than one year that the Company does not intend to refinance on a long-term basis, based on cash projections and management’s plans.

On May 16, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to its senior secured revolving credit facility that amended certain financial maintenance covenants, suspending the Company’s compliance with the debt-to-EBITDA ratio, easing other financial covenants through September 2014 and adding defined minimum EBITDA targets.  The maximum borrowing capacity of the revolving credit facility was reduced from $2 billion to $600 million.  In conjunction with the amendment, the Company borrowed $1.4 billion under a six-year secured term loan facility, issued at a 1% discount. The term loan contains no financial maintenance covenants, is prepayable and is secured by the same assets as borrowings under the revolving credit facility.  Quarterly principal payments of $3.5 million are due beginning in September 2012, plus interest at a rate of the greater of Libor or 1.25%, plus 450 basis points.  The proceeds of the term loan were used to retire all outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the outstanding $450.0 million principal amount of 6 ¾% Senior Notes due 2013 issued by Arch Western Finance, LLC (“Arch Western Finance”), the Company’s indirect subsidiary.

On May 16, 2012, Arch Western Finance accepted for purchase an aggregate of approximately $304.0 million principal amount of its 6 ¾% Senior Notes due 2013 in an initial settlement pursuant to the terms of its tender offer and consent solicitation, which commenced on May 1, 2012, and called for redemption all of the remaining notes outstanding after the completion of the tender offer.  The consideration for each $1,000 of principal purchased under the tender offer and consent solicitation was $1,002.50, for a total purchase consideration of $304.8 million.  On May 30, 2012, the remaining notes with an outstanding principal amount of $146.0 million were redeemed at par value.

The Company incurred financing costs of $27.4 million in conjunction with the term loan, which have been deferred on the balance sheet.  The Company wrote off $17.3 million of the $24.8 million of financing costs that had previously been deferred relating to the reduction in capacity of the senior secured revolving credit facility and $1.1 million related to the redemption of the 6 ¾% Senior Notes due 2013, offset by the $0.8 million of unamortized issue premium on the notes.  The write-off of deferred financing fees, along with other transaction fees associated with these transactions is reflected in “Loss on extinguishment and refinancing of debt” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

At June 30, 2012, cash on hand was $512.5 million and availability was $345.0 million under our lines of credit.
