The Company has obtained the majority of its long-term debt financing, other than capital leases, from the public markets. As of January 3, 2016, the Company’s total outstanding balance of debt and capital lease obligations was $679.7 million of which $623.9 million was financed through publicly offered debt. The Company had capital lease obligations of $55.8 million as of January 3, 2016. The Company mitigates its financing risk by using multiple financial institutions and enters into credit arrangements only with institutions with investment grade credit ratings. The Company monitors counterparty credit ratings on an ongoing basis.

On October 16, 2014, the Company entered into a $350 million five-year unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) which amended and restated the Company’s existing $200 million five-year unsecured revolving credit agreement. On April 27, 2015, the Company exercised the accordion feature of the Revolving Credit Facility, thereby increasing the aggregate availability by $100 million to $450 million. The Revolving Credit Facility has a scheduled maturity date of October 16, 2019 and up to $50 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a floating base rate or a floating Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin, dependent on the Company’s credit rating at the time of borrowing. At the Company’s current credit ratings, the Company must pay an annual facility fee of .15% of the lenders’ aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility includes two financial covenants: a cash flow/fixed charges ratio (“fixed charges coverage ratio”) and a funded indebtedness/cash flow ratio (“operating cash flow ratio”), each as defined in the agreement. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at January 3, 2016. These covenants do not currently, and the Company does not anticipate they will, restrict its liquidity or capital resources.

On January 3, 2016, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility and had $450 million available to meet its cash requirements. On December 28, 2014, the Company had $71.0 million of outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility and had $279 million available to meet its cash requirements.

In November 2015, the Company issued $350 million of unsecured 3.8% Senior Notes due 2025.  The notes were issued at 99.975% of par, which resulted in a discount on the notes of approximately $0.1 million.  Total debt issuance costs for these notes totaled $3.2 million.  The proceeds plus cash on hand were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company refinanced its $100 million of senior notes, which matured in April 2015, with borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility.  The Company has $164.8 million of senior notes maturing in June 2016.  The Company expects to use borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility to repay the note when due and, accordingly, has classified the $164.8 million of senior notes due in June 2016 as long-term.

As of January 3, 2016 and December 28, 2014, the Company had a weighted average interest rate of 5.5% and 5.8%, respectively, for its outstanding debt and capital lease obligations. The Company’s overall weighted average interest rate on its debt and capital lease obligations was 4.7% and 5.7% and for 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of January 3, 2016, none of the Company’s debt and none of its capital lease obligations were subject to changes in short-term interest rates.

The indentures under which the Company’s public debt was issued do not include financial covenants but do limit the incurrence of certain liens and encumbrances as well as the indebtedness by the Company’s subsidiaries in excess of certain amounts.

All of the outstanding long-term debt has been issued by the Company with none being issued by any of the Company’s subsidiaries. There are no guarantees of the Company’s debt.
