Bank Debt

(2)   Bank Debt

 

To finance the Vectren Fuels acquisition (see Note 10) we entered into a credit agreement with PNC Bank as administrative agent for a group of several other banks.  The credit agreeme-+

nt allows for a $250 million revolver and a $175 million term loan. Considering the acquisition and the payment of bank fees, our debt at September 30, 2014 is $345.6 million.  The maximum that we can currently borrow is $398 million due to the covenants. The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of Sunrise’s assets and we are the guarantor.  Bank fees and other costs incurred in connection with this new facility were about $6.8 million which were deferred and are being amortized over five years.  Deferred financing costs, associated with our previous credit facility, approximated $1 million and were expensed.

 

All borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% if the leverage ratio is less than 1X; LIBOR plus 2.5% if the leverage ratio is over 1X but less than 1.5X; LIBOR plus 2.75% if the ratio is over 1.5X but less than 2X; LIBOR plus 3% if the ratio is over 2X but less than 2.5X and at LIBOR plus 3.5% if the leverage ratio is over 2.5X (which it currently is).  We are required to pay at the highest rate (LIBOR plus 3.5%) through the first quarter of 2015.  The maximum leverage ratio is currently 3.25X.  The leverage ratio is equal to funded debt/EBITDA.  We entered into swap agreements to fix the LIBOR component of the interest rate to achieve an effective fixed rate of no greater than 5% on 100% ($175 million) of the term loan and on $100 million of the revolver.  The revolver steps down 10% each quarter commencing March 31, 2016.  As of September 30, 2014 these two interest rate swaps had a de minimus fair value.

 

The credit agreement also imposes certain other customary restrictions and covenants as well as certain milestones we must meet in order to draw down the full amount.  Any non-tax cash distributions from Savoy are required to be applied toward the debt.  The term loan requires annual amortization during the five years at 10%,  15%,  15%,  20%, and 20% with a balloon at maturity.

 

The credit agreement matures on August 29, 2019, but we have the right to prepay the loan at any time without penalty.
