Note 8. Debt
Credit Agreement. On May 31, 2017, the Company and certain of its domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders named therein. Subsequent to the initial Credit Agreement, the Company has entered into three amendments.
First Amendment. In October 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to its Credit Agreement to increase the total net leverage covenant during the remaining term of the Credit Agreement while preserving the favorable pricing structure from the original agreement. The Credit Agreement was to mature on May 31, 2022 and included (a) revolving loan commitments in an aggregate principal amount of up to $450 million (of which up to $25 million may be in the form of letters of credit at its request) and (b) term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $450 million. Interest on the borrowings under the Credit Agreement was payable based on either (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or (ii) the Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”), as defined in the Credit Agreement, in either case plus an applicable margin and fees which, after the second full fiscal quarter following the closing date, is based upon its total net leverage ratio. The ABR is the greater of (a) the prime rate, (b) the New York Fed Bank Rate plus 50 basis points or (c) adjusted LIBOR, which is computed as the LIBOR Screen Rate at 11:00 AM on such day. The applicable margin varied between 1.25% to 2.0% for LIBOR borrowings and 0.25% to 1.0% for ABR borrowings, depending on the Company’s net leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement required a total maximum total net leverage of 4.50x with incremental step downs through the maturities of the Term Loan and the Revolving Loan.
Second Amendment. In June 2020, the Company entered into an amendment that provided for a waiver with respect to the Total Net Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) financial covenants for the covenant testing periods through December 31, 2020 (the “Covenant Adjustment Period”). The Second Amendment also included the following:
Third Amendment On October 30, 2020, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to its Credit Agreement, in which the Company reduced the size of the outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement to an aggregate principal amount of $430.0 million, comprised of $230.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility and $200.0 million of the Term Loan, with a revised maturity date of May 31, 2025. The Third Amendment also includes the following:
Term Loan. As of December 31, 2020, the outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan were $197.5 million and the interest rate in effect was 2.8%. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company made $190.6 million in Term Loan payments. A portion of the proceeds from the $400.0 million bond issuance (“Bond Offering”) were used to repay $162.8 million of the borrowings under the Term Loan. Interest on the Term Loan is typically paid on a monthly basis.
Revolving Loan. As of December 31, 2020, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Loan. During 2020, the Company borrowed $165.0 million on the Revolving Loan, and paid down $190.0 million before using $235.0 million of the proceeds from the Bond Offering to repay the outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Loan.
Bond Offering. In October 2020, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior unsecured notes due 2028. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, to repay $235.0 million of borrowings under its Revolving Loan, repay $162.8 million of borrowings under its Term Loan and pay fees associated with the offering and refinancing. Interest on the bonds is due semi-annually.
Debt Issuance Costs. Debt issuance costs related to the various amendments and issuances were $17.7 million and $5.5 million at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Depending on the nature of the debt issuance costs and the underlying debt to which it relates, they are recorded as either a reduction of debt and accreted using the effective interest method or as a deferred asset and accreted using the straight-line method with the amortization recorded in Interest expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income.
Debt Extinguishment. The Third Amendment resulted in a partial debt extinguishment of $1.8 million of the previously capitalized debt issuance costs and included in Other (expense) income, net of the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Debt Guarantors, Collateral, Covenants and Restrictions. The obligations under the debt agreements are guaranteed by the Guarantors and the Company. The Guarantors secured their respective obligations under the debt agreements by granting liens in favor of the agent on substantially all of their assets. The terms of the debt agreement include representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants (including certain financial covenants) and events of default that are customary for credit facilities of this nature. The negative covenants place restrictions and limitations on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, make distributions or other restricted payments, create liens, make certain equity or debt investments, engage in mergers or consolidations and engage in certain transactions with affiliates. As of December 31, 2020, the Company is in compliance with the covenants under its debt agreements.
Long-term Debt Maturities. Long-term debt includes future principal payments on long-term borrowings through scheduled maturity dates. Excluded from these amounts are the amortization of debt issuance and other costs related to indebtedness. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s contractual payments under then-outstanding long-term debt agreements in each of the next five calendar years and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):
