The weighted-average outstanding balance of our revolving repurchase facilities was $2.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. As of September 30, 2015, we had aggregate borrowings of $2.8 billion outstanding under our revolving repurchase facilities, with a weighted-average cash coupon of LIBOR plus 1.83% per annum and a weighted-average all-in cost of credit, including associated fees and expenses, of LIBOR plus 2.04% per annum. As of September 30, 2015, outstanding borrowings under these facilities had a weighted-average maturity, excluding extension options and term-out provisions, of 1.5 years. Borrowings under each facility are subject to the initial approval of eligible collateral loans by the lender and the maximum advance rate and pricing rate of individual advances are determined with reference to the attributes of the respective collateral loan.

GE Portfolio Acquisition Facility

During the second quarter of 2015, concurrently with our acquisition of the GE loan portfolio, we entered into an agreement with Wells Fargo to provide us with secured financing for the acquired portfolio. As of September 30, 2015, this facility provided for $3.7 billion of financing, of which $3.6 billion was outstanding and an additional $158.5 million was available to finance future loan fundings. The GE portfolio acquisition facility is non-revolving and consists of a single master repurchase agreement providing for both (i) asset-specific borrowings for each collateral asset as well as (ii) a sequential pay advance feature.

Asset-Specific Borrowings

The asset-specific borrowings under the GE portfolio acquisition facility were advanced at a weighted average rate of 80% of our purchase price of the collateral assets and will be repaid pro rata from collateral asset repayment proceeds. The asset-specific borrowings are currency matched to the collateral assets and accrue interest at a rate equal to the sum of (i) the applicable base rate plus (ii) a margin of 1.75%, which will increase to 1.80% and 1.85% in year four and year five, respectively. As of September 30, 2015, those borrowings were denominated in U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, British Pounds Sterling, and Euros. The asset-specific borrowings are term matched to the underlying collateral assets with an outside maturity date of May 20, 2020, which may be extended pursuant to two one-year extension options. We guarantee obligations under the GE portfolio acquisition facility in an amount equal to the greater of (i) 25% of outstanding asset-specific borrowings, and (ii) $250.0 million. As of September 30, 2015, we had outstanding asset-specific borrowings of $3.4 billion under the GE portfolio acquisition facility.

 

Sequential Pay Advance

The GE portfolio acquisition facility also includes a sequential pay advance feature that provided for $237.2 million of borrowings, representing an additional 5% advance against each collateral asset pledged under the facility. Borrowings under the sequential pay advance accrue interest at a rate equal to the sum of (i) 30-day LIBOR plus (ii) a margin of 3.10%. The sequential pay advance is denominated in U.S. Dollars and will be repaid from collateral loan principal repayments, after repayment of the related asset-specific borrowing. The sequential pay advances each have a maturity date that is one year from the date of funding, and we guarantee 100% of outstanding borrowings of the sequential pay advance. As of September 30, 2015, we had outstanding sequential pay advance borrowings of $134.0 million under the GE portfolio acquisition facility.

Asset-Specific Repurchase Agreements

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we entered into one asset-specific repurchase agreement providing an additional $103.1 million of credit capacity. The following table details statistics for our asset-specific repurchase agreements ($ in thousands):

Our floating rate loans and related liabilities are indexed to the various benchmark rates relevant in each arrangement in terms of currency and payment frequency. Therefore the net exposure to each benchmark rate is in direct proportion to our net assets indexed to that rate. In addition to cash coupon, cost / all-in yield includes the amortization of deferred origination fees / financing costs.

The weighted-average outstanding balance of our asset-specific repurchase agreements was $379.0 million and $257.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and year ended December 31, 2014, respectively.

Debt Covenants

Each of the guarantees related to our secured debt agreements contain the following uniform financial covenants: (i) our ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or EBITDA, to fixed charges, as defined in the agreements, shall be not less than 1.40 to 1.0; (ii) our tangible net worth, as defined in the agreements, shall not be less than $1.9 billion as of each measurement date plus 75% of the net cash proceeds of future equity issuances subsequent to September 30, 2015; (iii) cash liquidity shall not be less than the greater of (x) $10.0 million or (y) 5% of our recourse indebtedness; and (iv) our indebtedness shall not exceed 83.33% of our total assets.
