(12) Debt: The Company entered into a new $375.0 million, five-year unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks during the second quarter of 2012 in order to provide additional sources of liquidity for working capital requirements or investment opportunities on a short-term as well as longer-term basis. As of September 30, 2012, the used portion of the Company’s revolving credit facility was $37.0 million, of which $30.0 million was from cash borrowings and $7.0 million was from letters of credit.

During the second quarter of 2012, Matson executed new unsecured, fixed rate, amortizing long-term debt of $170.0 million which was funded in three tranches, $77.5 million at an interest rate of 3.66% maturing in 2023, $55.0 million at an interest rate of 4.16% maturing in 2027, and $37.5 million at an interest rate of 4.31% maturing in 2032. The overall weighted average coupon of the three tranches of debt is 3.97% and the overall weighted average duration of the three tranches of debt is 9.3 years. The cash received from the issuance of three tranches of debt was partially utilized for the contribution of cash from Matson to A&B. Additionally, the Company negotiated the release of the MV Manulani as security for existing long-term debt of $56.0 million as part of the Company’s debt restructuring completed during the second quarter of 2012 to facilitate the Separation. This obligation was also moved from MatNav to Matson. Following the above mentioned debt financing transactions, all of Matson’s outstanding debt was unsecured, however guaranteed by Matson’s significant subsidiaries, except for $72.6 million, as of September 30, 2012, of secured MatNav debt.

Total debt was $328.6 million as of September 30, 2012, compared with $197.6 million at the end of 2011.

Principal negative covenants as defined in Matson’s five-year revolving credit facility (“Credit Agreement”) and long term fixed rate debt include, but are not limited to:

a) The ratio of debt to consolidated EBITDA cannot exceed 3.25 to 1.00 for each fiscal four quarter period;

b) the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to interest expense as of the end of any fiscal four quarter period cannot be less than 3.50 to 1.00; and

c) The principal amount of priority debt at any time cannot exceed 20% of consolidated tangible assets; and the principal amount of priority debt that is not Title XI priority debt at any time cannot exceed 10% of consolidated tangible assets. Priority debt, as further defined in the Credit Agreement, is all debt secured by a lien on the Company’s assets or subsidiary debt.

The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2012, with a debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio of 1.99, consolidated EBITDA to interest expense ratio of 16.71, and priority debt to consolidated tangible assets ratio of 6.5%.
