Short-Term Borrowings

3 Months Ended

Apr. 30, 2015

We have a syndicated, senior, unsecured, revolving credit facility, which expires on January 9, 2020.

The revolving credit facility has a maximum borrowing capacity of $125,000. As stated in the revolving credit facility, we have the option to pay interest based on:


(i)	London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) with varying maturities commensurate with the borrowing period we select, plus a spread of between 2.00% and 2.50% based on a pricing grid tied to a financial covenant, or


(ii)	A base rate plus a spread of between 1.00% and 1.50%, based on a pricing grid tied to a financial covenant.

As a result of these interest rate options, our interest expense associated with borrowings under this revolving credit facility will vary with market interest rates.

We had no borrowings against the revolving credit facility during the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014. Commitment fees are payable on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility at rates between 0.30% and 0.40% based on a pricing grid tied to a financial covenant.

This revolving credit facility contains certain financial and other covenants, including a limit on the aggregate amount we can pay for dividends and repurchases of our stock over the term of the facility of $50,000 plus 70% of our cumulative net income for the periods after January 31, 2011.

We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of April 30, 2015. If we fail to comply with the financial covenants and do not obtain a waiver from our lenders, we would be in default under the revolving credit facility and our lenders could terminate the facility and demand immediate repayment of all outstanding loans under the revolving credit facility.
