Amended Revolving Credit Facility

On February 12, 2020, the Company entered into a First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) for a $225  million revolving credit facility (the “Amended Revolving Facility”).  The significant changes made to the Company’s prior credit facility by the Amended Credit Agreement include (i) increasing the maximum principal amount from $175 million to $225 million, (ii) providing for a $75 million accordion amount, (iii) decreasing certain interest-rate margins and fees, and (iv) extending the term to February 2025 from the original term of October 2021.  HSBC Bank USA, National Association is the administrative agent, and HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., KeyBank National Association, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and Citizens Bank, N.A. are joint lead arrangers.

Borrowings under the Amended Revolving Facility bear interest at the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 1.00% to 1.75% or the Prime Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 0% to 0.75%, in each case depending on the Company’s ratio of total funded indebtedness (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) to Consolidated trailing twelve-month EBITDA (the “Total Leverage Ratio”).  At March 31, 2020, the applicable margin for LIBOR Rate borrowings was 1.5% and the applicable margin for Prime Rate borrowings was 0.5%. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.10% and 0.225% quarterly (currently 0.175%) on the unused portion of the Amended Revolving Facility, also based on the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio.  The Amended Revolving Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s non-realty assets and is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants related to minimum interest coverage and total leverage ratio at the end of each quarter. The Amended Credit Agreement also includes other covenants and restrictions, including limits on the amount of additional indebtedness, and restrictions on the Company’s ability to merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2020.

As of March 31, 2020, the unused Amended Revolving Facility was approximately $88,073.  The amount available to borrow may be reduced based upon our debt and EBITDA levels, which impacts our covenant calculations.

The China Credit Facility provides credit of approximately $1,411 (Chinese Renminbi 10,000)  (“the China Facility”).

Collateral for the facility is a guarantee issued by the Company. There have been no borrowings during 2020 and there is no balance in the China Facility at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
