In January 2016, we borrowed $300 million under a term loan and used the proceeds to repay a portion of the $371 million, 4.75% notes due January 15, 2016. The remaining portion of the loan was repaid using cash from operations. The new term loan bears interest at the applicable Eurodollar Rate plus 1.25% and matures in December 2020. The applicable Eurodollar Rate at March 31, 2016 was .62%.

In October 2014, we received a loan from the State of Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development (CDECD). The loan consisted of a $15 million development loan and $1 million jobs-training grant that was subject to certain conditions being met. We satisfied the conditions related to the $1 million jobs-training grant during 2015. The loan agreement provided that $10 million of the loan would be forgiven if we satisfied certain employment obligations. In March 2016, we satisfied all criteria to receive the $10 million of loan forgiveness and, as a result, recorded the loan forgiveness as reductions of long-term debt and selling, general and administrative expenses.
