Note 6— Financing

 

We have an unsecured revolving credit facility of $200 million in place through October 20, 2019. This agreement may be used for working capital, commercial paper back-up and general corporate purposes. The credit facility includes a $20 million swingline loan sublimit, a $20 million sublimit for letters of credit issuance and, subject to bank approval, a $75 million accordion feature and two one-year extensions of the credit facility’s maturity date.

 

Interest on borrowings under the facility accrues at a rate equal to, at our option, (i) the highest of (A) the agent prime rate, (B) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% or (C) one month LIBOR plus 1.0%, in each case, plus a margin or (ii) one month, two month, three month or six month LIBOR, in each case, plus a margin. Each margin is based on our current credit ratings and the pricing schedule in the facility. As of the date hereof, and based on our current credit ratings, the LIBOR margin under the facility is 1.025%. A facility fee is payable quarterly on the full amount of the commitments under the facility based on our current credit ratings, which is currently 0.175%.

 

The credit facility requires our total indebtedness to be less than 65.0% of our total capitalization at the end of each fiscal quarter and a failure to maintain this ratio will result in an event of default under the credit facility and will prohibit us from borrowing funds thereunder. As of March 31, 2015, we were in compliance with this covenant as our ratio of total indebtedness was 52% of our total capitalization. This credit facility is also subject to cross-default if we default on more than $25 million in the aggregate on our other indebtedness. As of March 31, 2015, we were not in default under any of such other indebtedness.

 

The credit agreement does not legally restrict the use of our cash in the normal course of operations. There were no outstanding borrowings under the agreement at March 31, 2015; however, $53.0 million was used to back up our outstanding commercial paper.
