2017 Debt Transactions

In the first quarter of 2017 the Company executed two debt transactions which are described in more detail below. These transactions included a repricing and extension of our $470.0 million term loan facility originally due 2022 (“2015 term loan”) as well as increasing the borrowing capacity and extending the maturity of our $800.0 million revolving credit facility (“2015 facility”). These transactions have further extended our debt maturity profile and reduced our annual cash interest on a go forward basis.

Term Loan Amendment

On February 23, 2017, we repriced our 2015 term loan through an amendment and extension of the term loan credit agreement providing for a $467.7 million senior secured term loan facility due 2024 (“2024 term loan”). This repricing reduces the interest rate by 0.75% and extends the maturity by 19 months to February 29, 2024.  

The 2024 term loan bears interest based on either a eurodollar or base rate (a rate equal to the highest of an agreed commercially available benchmark rate, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% or the eurodollar rate plus 1.0%, as selected by the Company) plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin in the 2024 term loan is (x) 3% in the case of Eurodollar rate loans and (y) 2% in the case of base rate loans. These rates represents a 0.75% reduction from the 2015 term loan.  Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch continues to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the 2024 term loan agreement. 

In connection with the 2024 term loan amendment we recognized $0.4 million in interest expense in the first quarter of 2017 related to the write-off of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs. We incurred $1.2 million in lender fees which, together with $10.0 million in remaining unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs, have been recorded as a reduction of long-term debt and are being amortized over the remaining contractual life of the 2024 term loan using the effective interest method. In addition, we also incurred $1.4 million in various third-party fees and expenses related to the 2024 term loan amendment which were recorded to interest expense in the first quarter of 2017.

Revolving Credit Facility Amendment

On March 22, 2017, the Company extended the maturity date and increased the revolving commitments under its 2015 facility. This transaction resulted in an amended and restated $900.0 million revolving credit facility (“2022 facility”) and extended the maturity by 20 months to March 22, 2022. SunTrust Bank continues to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the 2022 facility agreement. All other material terms of the 2022 facility remain unchanged from those of the 2015 facility.

In connection with the 2022 facility amendment, we recognized $0.6 million in interest expense in the first quarter of 2017 related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs. We incurred $1.6 million in lender and third-party fees which, together with $8.5 million in remaining unamortized debt issuance costs, have been recorded as other assets and are being amortized over the remaining contractual life of the 2022 facility on a straight-line basis.

2022 Facility Borrowings

As of March 31, 2017, we have $142.0 million in borrowings outstanding under our 2022 facility. During the first three months of 2017, we borrowed $457.0 million and repaid $315.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 3.3%.

2024 Term Loan

As of March 31, 2017, we have $466.5 million in borrowings outstanding under our 2024 term loan at a weighted average interest rate of 4.4%. During the first three months of 2017 we repaid $1.2 million of the 2024 term loan.

We were not in violation of any covenants or restrictions imposed by any of our debt agreements at March 31, 2017.

Fair Value

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company does not have any financial instruments which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. We have elected to report the value of our 2023 notes, 2024 notes, and 2024 term loan at amortized cost. The fair values of the 2023 notes, the 2024 notes and the 2024 term loan at March 31, 2017 were approximately $426.7 million, $763.1 million and $466.5 million, respectively, and were determined using Level 2 inputs based on market prices.
