NOTE 19 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On November 13, 2018, we entered into the 2018 Credit Facility, which will mature on November 13, 2023. The 2018 Credit Facility has  $750 million in aggregate availability with a maximum of $75 million available for use as letters of credit. The 2018 Credit Facility also permits aggregate commitments under the facility to be increased by $300 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and the procurement of additional commitments from new or existing lenders. The 2018 Credit Facility is currently guaranteed by our wholly-owned direct subsidiary, HPIDC, which guarantee is subject to release following certain events set forth in the 2018 Credit Facility. The borrowings under the 2018 Credit Facility accrue interest at a spread over either the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the Base Rate. We also pay a commitment fee based on the unused balance of the facility. Borrowing spreads as well as commitment fees are determined based on the debt rating for senior unsecured debt of the Company or HPIDC as determined by Moody’s and S&P. The spread over LIBOR ranges from 0.875 percent to 1.500 percent per annum and commitment fees range from 0.075 percent to 0.200 percent per annum. Based on the unsecured debt rating of HPIDC on September 30, 2018, the spread over LIBOR would have been 1.125 percent and commitment fees would have been 0.125 percent. There is a financial covenant in the 2018 Credit Facility that requires us to maintain a total debt to total capitalization ratio of less than 50 percent. The 2018 Credit Facility contains additional terms, conditions, restrictions and covenants that we believe are usual and customary in unsecured debt arrangements for companies of similar size and credit quality, including a limitation that priority debt (as defined in the credit agreement) may not exceed 17.5 percent of the net worth of the Company. As of the closing, there were no borrowings, but there were three letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $38.0 million, and we had $712.0 million available to borrow under the 2018 Credit Facility. 

 

In connection with entering into the 2018 Credit Facility, we terminated our $300 million unsecured credit facility under the credit agreement dated as of July 13, 2016 by and among HPIDC, as borrower, the Company, as guarantor, Wells Fargo, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto.
