Syndicated Credit Agreement
 
On February 23, 2015, we entered into a five-year $150,000 syndicated credit agreement (“credit facility”) which amended and replaced in its entirety our prior syndicated credit facility entered into on December 11, 2011. The new credit facility allowed for revolving loans of $90,000 in US dollars, $10,000 in alternate currencies and a $50,000 US dollar term loan facility as well as a $100,000 accordion feature to increase the commitments in any of the three previous loan classes subject to approval by applicable lenders. We entered into the credit facility with a syndicate of four banks, with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. acting as administrative agent for the U.S. and Canadian dollar loans and JP Morgan Europe Ltd. acting as administrative agent for the Euro and other alternate currency loans. The syndicated credit facility is secured by the assets of DMC including accounts receivable, inventory, and fixed assets, as well as guarantees and share pledges by DMC and its subsidiaries.

On December 18, 2015, we entered into an amendment which reduced the amount of U.S. borrowings available under the credit facility to $65,000 from $90,000 and eliminated the $50,000 term loan facility. The amendment increased the maximum debt-to-EBITDA leverage ratio from 3.00x to 3.75x, which will remain in effect through the June 30, 2016 reporting period. The maximum leverage ratio will then adjust to 3.25x through the September 30, 2016 reporting period, and will return to 3.00x as of December 31, 2016 and thereafter. If the leverage ratio is greater than 3.00x, the interest margin will be LIBOR plus 2.75%, and an undrawn fee of 0.50% will be applied. There were no other pricing modifications to the original agreement.

Borrowings under the $65,000 revolving loan can be in the form of Alternate Base Rate loans (“ABR” borrowings are based on the greater of adjusted Prime rates, adjusted CD rates, or adjusted Federal Funds rates) or one, two, three, or six month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) loans. ABR loans bear interest at the defined ABR rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 0.25% to 1.50%) and LIBOR loans bear interest at the applicable LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 2.75%).

Borrowings under the $10,000 Alternate Currency revolving loans can be in Canadian Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling and any other currency that is freely transferable and convertible to U.S. Dollars. Alternative currency borrowings denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be comprised of Canadian Dealer Offered Rate (“CDOR”) Loans or Canadian Prime Loans, at our option, and bear interest at the CDOR rate plus applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 2.75%) or the applicable Canadian Prime Rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 0.25% to 1.50%), respectively. Alternative currency borrowings denominated in Euros shall be comprised of Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) loans and bear interest at the EURIBOR rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 2.75%). Alternative currency borrowings denominated in any other alternate currency shall be comprised of Eurocurrency loans and bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin (varying from 1.25% to 2.75%).
 
The credit facility includes various covenants and restrictions, certain of which relate to the payment of dividends or other distributions to stockholders; redemption of capital stock; incurrence of additional indebtedness; mortgaging, pledging or disposition of major assets; and maintenance of specified financial ratios. As of December 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all financial covenants and other provisions of our debt agreements.

Line of Credit with German Bank
 
We maintain a line of credit with a German bank for certain DynaEnergetics operations.  This line of credit provides a borrowing capacity of 4,000 Euros and is also used by DynaEnergetics to issue bank guarantees to its customers to secure advance payments made by them.  As of December 31, 2015, we had no outstanding borrowings under this line of credit. As of December 31, 2015, we had bank guarantees secured by the line of credit of $1,220.  The line of credit bears interest at a EURIBOR-based variable rate which at December 31, 2015 was 3.85%.  The line of credit has open-ended terms and can be canceled by the bank at any time.

Scheduled Debt Maturity

We do not have any debt as of December 31, 2015 with scheduled maturity.
