(2)Bank Debt

 

To finance the August 2014 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 September 30, 2015 was $266 million (term-$146, revolver-$120).  The maximum that we could borrow at September 30, 2015 was $311 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 (20 bps at September 30, 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 September 30, 2015 was 2.58X.  The leverage ratio is currently 3.50X.  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 term loan swap steps down in unison with the term loan payment and the revolver swap steps down 10% each quarter commencing March 31, 2016.  At September 30, 2015, these two interest rate swaps had an estimated fair value current liability of $2.5 million included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

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% (2015), 15% (2016), 15% (2017), 20% (2018), and 20% (2019) 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.
