Revolving Credit Facility

Note 2: Revolving Credit Facility

Effective March 3, 2011, we amended our unsecured revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "Bank") to convert the facility to a three-year, $100 million, secured revolving credit facility, which matures on March 3, 2014 (the "Revolving Facility"). The unsecured revolving credit facility was initiated on September 27, 2007. On December 21, 2011, we amended the Revolving Facility to expand our borrowing capacity to $150 million and extended the maturity date to December 31, 2014. On February 2, 2012, we amended the Revolving Facility to modify certain financial covenants relating to net income.

 

In connection with completion of procedures for closing our financial records for the quarter ended April 1, 2012, we determined that, effective on that date, we were not in compliance with certain of our covenants under the Revolving Facility due to the loss before income taxes. Accordingly , the Revolving Facility was amended effective as of March 30, 2012 to remove the financial covenants related to tangible net worth, annual net income after taxes, and adjusted net income before taxes, to add a new covenant related to minimum adjusted EBITDA and to add a new financial covenant for permitted acquisitions. After considering the amendment we were in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants of the Revolving Facility at April 1, 2012.

In addition to financing the acquisition of Vocollect in 2011, the Revolving Facility is used for general corporate purposes. The Revolving Facility includes financial covenants and is secured by pledges of equity in certain assets of our domestic subsidiaries and guaranties of payment obligations from certain of our domestic subsidiaries. At April 1, 2012 and at December 31, 2011, we had borrowing capacity of $63.5 million under the Revolving Facility with borrowings of $85 million and $1.5 million of letters of credit outstanding. The amount outstanding under the Revolving Facility bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%. For the first quarter of 2012, the weighted average interest rate on borrowed funds under the Revolving Facility was 2.3%.

At April 1, 2012, scheduled principal payments on long-term debt were as follows (in thousands):

     85,000

The key terms of the Revolving Facility are as follows following the most recent amendment:

 

 

Loans bear interest at a variable rate equal to (at our option) (i) LIBOR plus the applicable margin, which ranges from 1.25% to 1.75%, or (ii) the Bank's prime rate, less the applicable margin, which ranges from 0.25% to 1.00%. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, then the interest rate on all obligations under the Revolving Facility may be increased by 2.0% above the otherwise applicable rate, and the Bank may declare any outstanding obligations under the Revolving Facility to be immediately due and payable. In addition, the Bank may exercise its security interest in our equity interests in the assets of certain of our domestic subsidiaries, and it may call the guaranties of payment obligations made by certain of our domestic subsidiaries.

 

 

A fee ranging from 0.60% to 1.00% on the maximum amount available to be drawn under each letter of credit that is issued and outstanding under the Revolving Facility. The fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Facility ranges from 0.15% to 0.25%.

 

 

Certain of our domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the Revolving Facility.

 

 

The Revolving Facility contains various restrictions and covenants, including restrictions on our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to consolidate or merge, make acquisitions, create liens, incur additional indebtedness or dispose of assets.

 

 

The Revolving Facility includes covenants requiring us to meet certain minimum financial performance thresholds, including:

 

   

The maximum funded debt to EBITDA allowed (as defined in the Revolving Facility) of 2.5 to 1.

 

   

An Asset Coverage Ratio of not less than 1 to 1 is required for debt to margined assets. For this purpose, a certain percentage of our accounts receivable, inventory and domestic cash balances are considered.

 

   

The minimum adjusted EBITDA allowed for the trailing twelve months (as defined in the Revolving Facility) is $25 million for the second quarter of 2012, $35 million for the third quarter of 2012, and $45 million for all subsequent quarters.

We expect to be in compliance with our covenants for the next twelve months.
