NOTE 8 – Debt

 

Short-term debt

  

Our Asia subsidiaries maintain credit facilities with several financial institutions through our foreign entities worldwide totaling $205.5 million. Other than two Taiwanese credit facilities that are collateralized by assets, our foreign credit lines are unsecured, uncommitted and contain no restrictive covenants.  These credit facilities bear interest at LIBOR or similar indices plus a specified margin.  Interest payments are due monthly on outstanding amounts under the credit lines. The unused and available credit under the various facilities as of March 31, 2021, was approximately $127.9  million, net of a $67.6  million advanced under our foreign credit lines and $0.5 million credit used for import and export guarantee. In connection with our Asia credit facilities $54.8 million of cash

deposits have been restricted in support of a corresponding loan amount. During April 2021 $50.0 million of the restricted cash was released from all contractual restrictions, as the applicable loans were repaid in full.

Long-term debt

The Company maintains a long-term credit facility (“Credit Agreement”) consisting of a term loan with a current balance of $218.0 million and a $150.0 million revolving senior credit facility.  The Company used a portion of the proceeds available under the term commitment and the revolving senior credit facility to finance the Company’s acquisition of Lite-On Semiconductor Corporation. The Credit Agreement contains certain financial and non-financial covenants, including, but not limited to, a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio, a minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, and restrictions on liens, indebtedness, investments, fundamental changes, dispositions, and restricted payments (including dividends and share repurchases).  Furthermore, under the Credit Agreement, restricted payments, including dividends and share repurchases, are permitted in certain circumstances, including while the pro forma Consolidated Leverage Ratio is, both before and after giving effect to any such restricted payment, at least 0.25 to 1.00 less than the maximum permitted under the Credit Agreement.  In addition to the credit facilities described above, our 51% owned subsidiary, ERIS Technology Corporation (“ERIS”), has short-term debt of $13.3 million and long-term debt of $30.0 million from local Taiwan banks.  The ERIS debt matures in various periods from 2021 through 2033.
