DEBT
As of December 31, 2014, the Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015 were not exchangeable at the option of the holders for the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2015. According to the indenture, in order for the notes to become exchangeable prior to May 15, 2015, the Company’s stock price must exceed 130 percent of the exchange price for 20 trading days during a period of 30 consecutive trading days as of the last day of the quarter. Based upon the average stock price for the 30 trading days ended March 31, 2015, these notes will not become exchangeable until May 15, 2015, the date at which the notes become exchangeable until maturity without the aforementioned condition. The notes mature in August of 2015 and are classified as current maturities of long-term debt as of March 31, 2015.
Net draws of $2 million were made in the first quarter of 2015 on the revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2015, the Company had available borrowings of $180 million under the revolving credit facility, net of $2 million to secure its outstanding letters of credit, and additional draws available of $100 million under the term credit agreement.
As of March 31, 2015, the New Zealand JV had $176 million of long-term variable rate debt maturing in September of 2016. This debt is subject to interest rate risk resulting from changes in the 90-day New Zealand Bank bill rate (“BKBM”). However, the New Zealand JV uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate movements on its bank loan by swapping a portion of these borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates. The notional amount of the outstanding interest rate swap contracts at March 31, 2015 was $142 million, or 81 percent of the variable rate debt. The interest rate swap contracts have maturities extending through January 2020. The periodic interest rate on New Zealand JV debt is BKBM plus 80 basis points with an additional 80 basis point credit line fee. The Company estimates the periodic effective interest rate on New Zealand JV debt to be approximately 6.6% after consideration of interest rate swaps. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the New Zealand JV paid $1.4 million on its shareholder loan held with the non-controlling interest party. Favorable exchange rate changes resulted in a $9.5 million decrease to the New Zealand JV’s debt on a U.S. dollar basis.
There were no other significant changes to the Company’s outstanding debt as reported in Note 13 — Debt in the 2014 Form 10-K.
