(2)Bank Debt

 

To finance the Vectren Fuels acquisition, we entered into a credit agreement with PNC Bank as administrative agent for a group of several other banks. The credit agreement allows for a $250 million revolver and a $175 million term loan.  Our debt at March 31, 2015 is $292 million (term-$157, revolver-$135).  The maximum that we could borrow at March 31, 2015 was $362 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. 

 

All borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest at LIBOR (18 bps at March 31, 2015) plus 2.25% if the leverage ratio (debt/EBITDA) 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.  The computed ratio at March 31, 2015 was 2.63X.  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.  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 swaps step down 10% each quarter commencing March 31, 2016.  At March 31, 2015 these two interest rate swaps had an estimated net fair value liability of $1.967 million consisting of a long term asset of $.311 million and a current liability of $2.278 million. Such amounts are included in other long-term assets and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, respectively.  

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 quarterly payments with annual amortization 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.
