Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
We have a credit agreement, as amended on September 15, 2015 and again on December 23, 2015, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and a syndicate of lenders which provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility, with sub-limits for letters of credit and swing-line loans, of up to an aggregate principal amount of $200 million, subject to availability under a borrowing base comprised of certain eligible cash, certain eligible receivables, certain eligible inventory, and certain eligible equipment of ours and certain of our subsidiaries, all of which matures in March 2019 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary mandatory prepayments from the proceeds of certain asset dispositions or debt issuances, which are applied to reduce outstanding revolving and swing-line loans and cash-collateralize letter of credit exposure, but in no event will reduce the borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility to the lesser of $200 million and the then-applicable borrowing base.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at the LIBOR rate or at the bank prime rate, plus an applicable per annum margin of 4.75% and 3.75%, respectively. The Revolving Credit Facility requires a commitment fee due quarterly based on the average daily unused amount of the commitments of the lenders, a fronting fee due for each letter of credit issued, and a quarterly letter of credit fee due based on the average undrawn amount of letters of credit outstanding during such period. Additionally, the Revolving Credit Facility requires that if on the last business day of the calendar month, our aggregate amount of cash exceeds $25 million, we pay down the outstanding principal balance by the amount of such excess.
Our obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of our domestic assets (including equity interests in Pioneer Global Holdings, Inc. and 65% of the outstanding equity interests of any first-tier foreign subsidiaries owned by Pioneer Global Holdings, Inc., but excluding any equity interest in, and any assets of, Pioneer Services Holdings, LLC) and are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries, including Pioneer Global Holdings, Inc. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are available for acquisitions, working capital and other general corporate purposes.
As of March 31, 2016, we had $95 million outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility and $17.3 million in committed letters of credit, which resulted in borrowing availability of $87.7 million under our Revolving Credit Facility. There are no limitations on our ability to access the borrowing capacity provided there is no default, all representations and warranties are true and correct, and compliance with financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility is maintained.
At March 31, 2016, we were in compliance with our financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility. Our senior consolidated leverage ratio was 1.3 to 1.0 and our interest coverage ratio was 3.9 to 1.0.
The financial covenants contained in our Revolving Credit Facility include the following:
A maximum senior consolidated leverage ratio, calculated as senior consolidated debt at the period end, which excludes unsecured and subordinated debt, divided by EBITDA for the trailing twelve month period at each quarter end, as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility. The senior consolidated leverage ratio cannot exceed the following maximum amounts as follows:

1.50

The Revolving Credit Facility also does not restrict capital expenditures as long as (a) no event of default under the Revolving Credit Facility exists or would result from such expenditures, and (b) such expenditures do not cause total capital expenditures to exceed $50 million for the fiscal year. The capital expenditure threshold may be increased by any unused portion of the capital expenditure threshold from the immediate preceding fiscal year up to $25 million.
The Revolving Credit Facility has additional restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional debt, investments, liens, dividends, acquisitions, prepayments of indebtedness, asset dispositions, mergers and consolidations, transactions with affiliates, repurchases of capital stock, hedging contracts, sale leasebacks and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to certain other material indebtedness in excess of specified amounts, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, judgment defaults in excess of specified amounts, failure of any guaranty or security document supporting the credit agreement and change of control.
Senior Notes
In March 2010 and November 2011, we issued an aggregate $425 million of unregistered senior notes with a coupon interest rate of 9.875% that were set to mature in 2018 (the “2010 and 2011 Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the 2010 issuance were used to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility and a portion of the net proceeds from the 2011 issuance were used to fund the acquisition of the coiled tubing business in December 2011. In order to reduce our overall interest expense and lengthen the overall maturity of our senior indebtedness, during 2014, we redeemed all of our outstanding 2010 and 2011 Senior Notes, funded primarily by proceeds from the issuance of our 2014 Senior Notes and additional borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, as well as some cash on hand.
In March 2014, we issued $300 million of unregistered senior notes with a coupon interest rate of 6.125% that are due in 2022 (the “2014 Senior Notes”). The 2014 Senior Notes were sold at 100% of their face value. After deductions were made for the $6.1 million for underwriters’ fees and other debt offering costs, we received $293.9 million of net proceeds which were used to fund the repayment of $300 million of aggregate principal amount of 2010 and 2011 Senior Notes in March and May 2014. In October 2014, we redeemed the remaining $125 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2010 and 2011 Senior Notes, primarily funded by proceeds from our revolving credit facility and through cash on hand.
The 2014 Senior Notes will mature on March 15, 2022 with interest due semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year. We have the option to redeem the 2014 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 15, 2017 in each case at the redemption price specified in the Indenture dated March 18, 2014 (the “Indenture”) plus any accrued and unpaid interest and any additional interest (as defined in the Indenture) thereon to the date of redemption. Prior to March 15, 2017, we may also redeem the 2014 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a “make-whole” redemption price specified in the Indenture, plus any accrued and unpaid interest and any additional interest thereon to the date of redemption. In addition, prior to March 15, 2017, we may, on one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2014 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 106.125% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings, provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2014 Senior Notes remains outstanding after the occurrence of such redemption and that the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering.
In accordance with a registration rights agreement with the holders of our 2014 Senior Notes, we filed an exchange offer registration statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission that became effective on October 2, 2014. The exchange offer registration statement enabled the holders of our Senior Notes to exchange their senior notes for publicly registered notes with substantially identical terms. References to the “Senior Notes” herein include the senior notes issued in the exchange offer.
If we experience a change of control (as defined in the Indenture), we will be required to make an offer to each holder of the Senior Notes to repurchase all or any part of the Senior Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of each Senior Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. If we engage in certain asset sales, within 365 days of such sale we will be required to use the net cash proceeds from such sale, to the extent we do not reinvest those proceeds in our business, to make an offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of each Senior Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date.
The Indenture, among other things, limits us and certain of our subsidiaries in our ability to:
pay dividends on stock, repurchase stock, redeem subordinated indebtedness or make other restricted payments and investments;
incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred or disqualified stock;
create liens on our or their assets;
enter into sale and leaseback transactions;
sell or transfer assets;
pay dividends, engage in loans, or transfer other assets from certain of our subsidiaries;
consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell all or substantially all of our properties to any other person;
enter into transactions with affiliates; and
enter into new lines of business.
The Senior Notes are not subject to any sinking fund requirements. The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by certain of our existing domestic subsidiaries and by certain of our future domestic subsidiaries. (See Note 10, Guarantor/Non-Guarantor Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)
Debt Issuance Costs
Costs incurred in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility were capitalized and are being amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility which matures in March 2019. Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of our 2014 Senior Notes were capitalized and are being amortized using the straight-line method (which approximates amortization using the interest method) over the term of the Senior Notes which mature in March 2022. We recognized $0.4 million of associated amortization during each of the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.
