The information reported under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

 

The Note Purchase Agreement and the 4.73% Senior Series C Notes

 

On April 28, 2016, the Company issued $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Series C Notes pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement.  The Series C Notes mature on April 28, 2026, unless earlier redeemed or prepaid pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement.  Interest on the Series C Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 21 and November 21 of each year beginning May 21, 2016.

 

The Series C Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company.  The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Series C Notes to reduce amounts outstanding under its unsecured revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

 

The Company may, at its option and upon notice to the purchasers of the applicable Series  C Notes, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part, of the Series C Notes (in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Series C Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment), at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, plus the make-whole amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount as set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement.

 

The payment by the Company of all amounts due with respect to the Series C Notes and the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement are absolutely and unconditionally guaranteed by SCA pursuant to the NPA Guaranty Agreement.

 

The Notes were offered and sold to accredited investors in an exempt transaction not involving a public offering in accordance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the material terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Series C Notes and the NPA Guaranty Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

The Term Credit Agreement is an unsecured term loan facility that allows the Company to borrow an initial amount of $100,000,000 and includes an “accordion” feature that allows the facility to be increased by an additional $200,000,000 for a maximum of $300,000,000.  The Term Credit Agreement matures on April 26, 2021.  The Company intends to use net proceeds from the Term Credit Agreement to reduce amounts outstanding under its unsecured revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

 

The payment by the Company of all amounts due under the Term Credit Agreement and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder are absolutely and unconditionally guaranteed by SCA pursuant to the Term Credit Guaranty Agreement.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the material terms of the Term Credit Agreement and the Term Credit Guaranty Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.3 and Exhibit 10.4, respectively, which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
