On August 31, 2010, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement to complete a $190.0 million private placement Series A and Series B senior unsecured notes. The $95.0 million Series A, senior unsecured notes that matured on January 13, 2018 were repaid. Interest is payable semi‑annually in January and July of each year. The agreement requires the Company to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio not to exceed 3.0 to 1.0 for four consecutive quarters and a consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 4.0 to 1.0 for four consecutive quarters. The Company was in compliance with these covenants for all periods presented. As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio was 0.3 to 1.0, and the consolidated interest coverage ratio was 48.7 to 1.0.

Debt is reported at its carrying amount in the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the Company’s Series B Senior Notes maturing January 13, 2021 was $98.0 million at December 31, 2018 compared to the carrying value net of debt issuance costs of $94.9 million, which is listed under long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheet.  Fair value is calculated based on Level 2 inputs.

On October 20, 2017, we entered into a three-year unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with various lenders, which initially provides for borrowings of up to $100.0 million and may be expanded to $200.0 million. The Credit Facility replaced the prior credit facility, which was set to expire in June 2018. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility.  Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at various rates including adjusted LIBOR or an alternative base rate plus, in each case, an incremental margin based on the Company’s credit rating. The Credit Facility also imposes a facility fee on the aggregate amount of commitments under the revolving facility (whether or not utilized). The facility fee is also based on the Company’s credit rating level. The covenants in the Credit Facility are consistent with the covenants in the prior credit facility, including the required consolidated leverage ratio and the consolidated interest coverage ratio, which match those outlined above for the Senior Notes.
