In August 2015, the Company issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 4.7% Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2025.  The interest rate on these senior notes may be increased by 0.25% each time a credit rating applicable to the notes is downgraded. The maximum rate is 6.7%. The net proceeds of approximately $296.4 million were initially used to repay, in part, our Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Facility”). The conditions and covenants related to the senior notes are less restrictive than those of our Facility. The effective interest rate for the outstanding period in the third quarter was 4.76%. The fair value of the senior notes based on quoted prices utilizing level 2 inputs was $303 million at September 30, 2015.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability. For public business entities, the standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this update is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. We adopted this standard during the third quarter of 2015 upon the issuance of our Senior Unsecured Notes due 2025. The balance for unamortized deferred financing costs and debt discount related to the senior notes was $3.6 million at September 30, 2015. The adoption of the ASU did not affect the classification of deferred financing cost related to our Facility.

At September 30, 2015, total borrowings under our $700 million Facility were $300 million, which approximates fair value. The Facility permits us to issue letters of credit up to an aggregate amount of $40 million. Outstanding letters of credit reduce the amount available for borrowing under our revolving loan. As of September 30, 2015 we had issued letters of credit under the Facility totaling $2.1 million, resulting in undrawn availability under the Facility as of September 30, 2015 of $397.9 million.

The Facility contains financial and other covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the incurrence of debt and the granting of liens, as well as the maintenance of an interest coverage ratio and a leverage ratio.  In accordance with the terms of the  Facility, we are required to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.50 (based on the ratio of EBITDA, as defined in the credit agreement, to interest expense) and may not exceed a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 (based on the ratio of total debt to EBITDA) throughout the term of the Facility.  In addition, the Facility contains other terms and conditions such as customary representations and warranties, additional covenants and customary events of default. The average interest rate on the Facility was 2.0% for the quarter and 1.84% for the first nine months of 2015. The average interest rate was 1.88% for 2014.
