As of June 30, 2010, the Company had $175.0 million of outstanding 10 ¼% Senior Notes and $220.8 million outstanding on the Term Loan at 2.35%.

 

Refinancing and Amendment

 

During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company refinanced its senior debt through the issuance of $200.0 million of 71/8% Senior Notes due 2018, a new $300.0 million Term Loan Facility which matures in 2016, and the establishment of a $100.0 million Revolving Credit Facility. The Company recorded a $14.0 million charge related to the early extinguishment of the senior debt, comprised primarily of $9.8 million of premiums paid to debt holders and a $4.2 million write-off of debt issuance costs and other fees. The proceeds of the refinancing were used for the following: (i) $184.8 million to retire the outstanding 101/4% Senior Notes due 2014 and related premiums and fees; (ii) $220.3 million to retire the outstanding balance under the existing Term Loan Facility; (iii) $16.9 million to pay debt issuance costs; and (iv) $78.2 million for general corporate purposes, including to partially fund the purchase price for the acquisition of ACP.

 

On March 11, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to its Credit Agreement dated as of December 1, 2010 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The Amendment (i) reduced the interest rate margin applicable to the Term Loans under the Credit Agreement by 0.75% to 3.0% and (ii) reduced the LIBOR floor applicable to the Term Loans under the Credit Agreement from 1.5% to 1.0%. The Company incurred $4.1 million of fees related to the Amendment which will be amortized into interest expense over the remaining term of the debt.

 

Revolving Credit Facility

 

The $100.0 million Revolving Credit Facility matures on December 1, 2015 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.75%, or the applicable rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Revolving Credit Facility requires compliance with various covenants including but not limited to (i) minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 3.00:1.00 until September 30, 2011, 3.25:1.00 from October 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012, and 3.50:1.00 thereafter until maturity; (ii) maximum total leverage ratio of 5.00:1.00 until December 31, 2011, 4.50:1.00 from January 1, 2012 to September 30, 2012, and 4.00:1.00 from October 1, 2012 thereafter until maturity; and (iii) maximum annual capital expenditures of 7.5% of consolidated net revenues of the preceding fiscal year with an additional maximum rollover of $15.0 million from the prior year’s allowance if not expended in the fiscal year for which it is permitted. As of June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $96.6 million available under that facility. Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2011 was net of standby letters of credit of approximately $3.4 million. On April 28, 2011, the Company paid back a $10.0 million draw on the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had no funds drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility. The obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries and are secured by a first priority perfected interest in the Company’s subsidiaries’ shares, all of the Company’s assets, and all the assets of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.

 

Line of Credit

 

On April 6, 2009, the Company obtained a collateralized line of credit from UBS in conjunction with the Rights agreement. The credit line was collateralized by the Indiana ARS and allowed the Company to borrow up to the fair market value of the ARS not to exceed its $5.0 million par value. The Company had drawn $3.6 million, which was the maximum currently allowed under the agreement. The credit line had no net cost to the Company as the interest expense was equal to the income on the ARS. On July 1, 2010, the Company settled the $3.6 million line of credit with UBS in conjunction with settling the Rights agreement.

 

Term Loan

 

The $300.0 million Term Loan Facility matures on December 1, 2016 and requires quarterly principal payments commencing March 31, 2011. From time to time, mandatory prepayments may be required as a result of excess free cash flow as defined in the Credit Agreement, certain additional debt incurrences and asset sales, or other events as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Term Loan Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.0%, or applicable rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and includes a 1.0% LIBOR floor. As of June 30, 2011, the interest rate on the Term Loan Facility was 4.0%. The obligations under the Term Loan Facility are guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries and are secured by a first priority perfected interest in the Company’s subsidiaries’ shares, all of the Company’s assets, and all the assets of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.

 

71/8% Senior Notes

 

The 71/8% Senior Notes mature November 15, 2018 and are senior indebtedness which is guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of the Company’s current and future domestic subsidiaries. Interest is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing May 15, 2011.

 

On or prior to November 15, 2013, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes at a redemption price of 107.125% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest to the redemption date. On or after November 15, 2014, the Company may redeem all or from time to time a part of the notes upon not less than 30 and not more than 60 days’ notice, for the twelve month period beginning on November 15, of the indicated years at (i) 103.563% during 2014; (ii) 101.781% during 2015; and (iii) 100.00% during 2016 and thereafter through November 15, 2018.

 

Subsidiary Guarantees

 

The Revolving and Term Loan Facility and the 71/8% Senior Notes are guaranteed by all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. Separate condensed consolidating information is not included as the Company does not have independent assets or operations. The Guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several, and any subsidiaries of the Company other than the Guarantor Subsidiaries are minor. There are no restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to transfer cash to the Company or to co-guarantors. All consolidated amounts in the Company’s financial statements are representative of the combined guarantors.

 

Debt Covenants

 

The terms of the Senior Notes, the Revolving Credit Facility, and the Term Loan Facility limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, create liens, pay dividends on or redeem capital stock, make certain investments, make restricted payments, make certain dispositions of assets, engage in transactions with affiliates, engage in certain business activities and engage in mergers, consolidations and certain sales of assets. As of June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under these debt agreements.
