As of June 30, 2011, the Company had various international short-term uncommitted lines of credit with borrowing limits of $93,447. The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings on the short-term uncommitted lines of credit as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was 2.74 and 3.01 percent, respectively. Short-term uncommitted lines mature in less than one year. The amount available under the short-term uncommitted lines at June 30, 2011 was $49,663.
In June 2011, the Company entered into a new five-year credit facility, which replaced its existing credit facility. The Company used borrowings of approximately $330,000 under the new credit facility to repay all amounts outstanding under (and terminated) the existing credit facility. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had borrowing limits under the new credit facility totaling $500,000. Under the terms of the credit facility agreement, the Company has the ability, subject to various approvals, to increase the borrowing limits by $250,000. Up to $50,000 of the revolving credit facility is available under a swing line subfacility. The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding credit facility borrowings as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was 1.26 and 2.71 percent, respectively, which is variable based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The amount available under the new credit facility as of June 30, 2011 was $170,000. The Company incurred $1,733 of fees to its creditors in conjunction with the new credit facility, which will be amortized as a component of interest expense over the term of the facility.
In March 2006, the Company issued senior notes in an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 with a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 5.50 percent. The maturity dates of the senior notes are staggered, with $75,000, $175,000 and $50,000 becoming due in 2013, 2016 and 2018, respectively. Additionally, the Company entered into a derivative transaction to hedge interest rate risk on $200,000 of the senior notes, which was treated as a cash flow hedge. This reduced the effective interest rate by 14 basis points from 5.50 to 5.36 percent.
In 1997, industrial development revenue bonds were issued on behalf of the Company. The proceeds from the bond issuances were used to construct new manufacturing facilities in the United States. The Company guaranteed the payments of principal and interest on the bonds by obtaining letters of credit. The bonds were issued with a 20-year original term and are scheduled to mature in 2017. Each industrial development revenue bond carries a variable interest rate, which is reset weekly by the remarketing agents. The weighted-average interest rate on the bonds was 0.83 and 0.57 percent as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
The Company’s debt agreements contain various restrictive financial covenants, including net debt to capitalization and net interest coverage ratios. As of June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants in its debt agreements.
