Credit Agreement

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are party to a credit agreement dated December 14, 2018 with JPMorgan Chase, N.A., as a lender and administrative agent, and other bank lenders (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement provides for a $600.0 million revolving credit facility (of which $50.0 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit (the "LC Facility") and up to $400.0 million is available in approved foreign currencies). The Credit Agreement also provides for term loans (the "Term Loan") to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million. The maturity date of the Credit Agreement is December 7, 2026. The Term Loan is required to be repaid in an amount equal to 1.25 percent of the original principal amount of the Term Loan for the first eight quarterly periods commencing with the quarter ended December 31, 2021, 1.875 percent of the original principal amount of the Term Loan for the next eight quarterly periods, and then 2.50 percent of the original principal amount of the Term Loan of each additional payment until the maturity date. The Company prepaid $30.0 million of principal on the Term Loan during the three months ended September 30, 2023. This prepayment was applied to pay in full the scheduled principal amortization payments due through September 30, 2024. The Credit Agreement also permits the Company to request an increase to the revolving and/or term loan facility by up to an additional $400.0 million in the aggregate upon the approval of the lenders providing any such increase and the satisfaction of certain other conditions.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement in U.S. dollars are designated from time to time by the Company as (i) base rate loans which bear interest at a base rate plus additional interest ranging from 0.0 percent to 0.875 percent (0.750 percent was applicable at September 30, 2023) depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio or (ii) term benchmark loans which bear interest at term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.1 percent for an interest period selected by the Company plus additional interest ranging from 0.875 percent to 1.875 percent (1.750 percent was applicable at September 30, 2023) depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. Foreign currency borrowings have the same additional interest margins applicable to term benchmark loans based on the Company's total net leverage ratio. At September 30, 2023, the Company had $4.6 million in issued, but undrawn, standby letters of credit under the LC Facility. Availability under the Company’s revolving credit facility, giving effect to certain limitations related to compliance with the maximum net leverage ratio covenant, was $178.5 million at September 30, 2023. A commitment fee ranging from 0.150 percent to 0.275 percent (0.250 percent was applicable at September 30, 2023) depending on the Company's total net leverage ratio accrues on the actual daily amount that the revolving commitment exceeds the revolving credit exposure.

Shelf-Loan Facility

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries had a $150.0 million shelf-loan facility (the "Shelf-Loan Facility") with PGIM, Inc. (formerly Prudential Investment Management, Inc.) and its affiliates ("Prudential"). On March 29, 2019, the Company issued $50.0 million of Series B Senior Notes (the "Series B Notes") to certain affiliates of Prudential for a term of
three years, at a fixed interest rate of 3.80 percent per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. The Series B Notes were paid in full in March 2022, and the Shelf-Loan Facility expired on November 11, 2022.

Convertible Notes

On May 13, 2021, the Company issued $460.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.125 percent Convertible Notes due 2026 in a private placement to certain qualified institutional buyers, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $447.8 million after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and offering expenses payable by the Company. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a coupon rate of 1.125 percent per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2021. The Convertible Notes will mature on May 15, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased, in accordance with their terms.

As of September 30, 2023, the conversion rate of the Convertible Notes was 6.1615 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes. The conversion rate of the Convertible Notes is subject to further adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events. In addition, upon the occurrence of a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture) or upon a notice of redemption, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its Convertible Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change or notice of redemption, as the case may be.

Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 15, 2026, the Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holders only under certain circumstances as set forth in the Indenture. On or after January 15, 2026, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Convertible Notes at any time. Upon conversion, the Company will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company's common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, at the Company's election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company's conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes being converted.

The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to May 20, 2024. On or after May 20, 2024, the Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Convertible Notes, at the Company's option, if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock has been at least 130 percent of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), subject to certain conditions, holders of the Convertible Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Convertible Notes in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof at a repurchase price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Convertible Notes to, but not including, the fundamental change repurchase date (as defined in the Indenture).

The Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company's indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible Notes, equal in right of payment with all the Company's liabilities that are not so subordinated, effectively junior to any of the Company's secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries. The Indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including that upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, either the named trustee or the holders of at least 25 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Convertible Notes may declare 100 percent of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the outstanding Convertible Notes to be due and payable.

The Convertible Notes are not registered securities nor listed on any securities exchange but may be actively traded by qualified institutional buyers. The fair value of the Convertible Notes of $425.5 million at September 30, 2023 was estimated using Level 1 inputs, as it is based on quoted prices for these instruments in active markets.
General

At September 30, 2023, the fair value of the Company's long-term debt under the Credit Agreement approximates the carrying value, as estimated using quoted market prices and discounted future cash flows based on similar borrowing arrangements.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company shall not permit its net leverage ratio to exceed certain limits, shall maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio, and must meet certain other financial requirements. On May 23, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement that, among other things, provided for adjustments to certain of the financial covenants by increasing the maximum total net leverage ratio and decreasing the minimum debt service coverage ratio, in each case for the two fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023. At September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.

The Credit Agreement includes a maximum net leverage ratio covenant which limits the amount of consolidated outstanding indebtedness that the Company may incur on a trailing twelve-month EBITDA. This limitation reduced the Company's remaining availability under its revolving credit facility at September 30, 2023. The Company believes the availability of $178.5 million under the revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement, along with its cash flows from operations, are adequate to finance the Company's anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months.
