At December 31, 2013 we had $264.2 million of our operating assets pledged as collateral for notes or other obligations.

Shelf Registration Statement

During the third quarter of 2013, we filed an updated shelf registration statement that enables us to issue debt securities and pass-through certificates. The registration statement is effective for three years and does not limit the amount of debt securities and pass-through certificates we can issue.

Credit Lines and Facilities

In 2013, we entered into a new $575 million 5-year unsecured revolving credit facility in the US that matures in April 2018, which replaced our prior $560 million facility. At December 31, 2013, the full $575 million was available under the facility. Annual commitment fees for the revolving credit facility are based on a percentage of the commitment and were $1.0 million for 2013, $1.2 million for 2012, and $0.9 million for 2011.

Restrictive Covenants

Our $575 million revolving credit facility contains various restrictive covenants, including requirements to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio and an asset coverage test. Our ratio of earnings to fixed charges, as defined in this facility, was 2.2 for the period ended December 31, 2013, which is in excess of the minimum covenant ratio of 1.2. At December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants and conditions of the facility. Some of our bank term loans have the same financial covenants as the facility.

As of December 31, 2013, the indentures for our public debt also contain various restrictive covenants, including limitation on liens provisions that limit the amount of additional secured indebtedness that we may incur to $1,165.8 million. Additionally, certain exceptions to the covenants permit us to incur an unlimited amount of purchase money and nonrecourse indebtedness. At December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants and conditions of the indentures.

The loan agreements for our European rail subsidiaries (collectively, "GRE") also contain restrictive covenants, including leverage and cash flow covenants specific to those subsidiaries, restrictions on making loans, and limitations on the ability of those subsidiaries to repay loans or to distribute capital to certain related parties (including GATX, the US parent company). These covenants effectively limit GRE's ability to transfer funds to us. At December 31, 2013, the maximum amount that GRE could transfer to us without violating its covenants was $87.3 million, therefore implying the loan covenants restrict $447.5 million of subsidiary net assets. At December 31, 2013, GRE was in compliance with all covenants and conditions of these loan agreements.

Another subsidiary’s financing that is guaranteed by us contains various restrictive covenants, including covenants that require us to maintain a defined net worth and a fixed charge coverage ratio. This fixed charge coverage ratio covenant is less restrictive than the covenant in our revolving credit facility.

We do not anticipate any covenant violations nor do we anticipate that any of these covenants will restrict our operations or our ability to obtain additional financing.
