Credit Facility
On August 1, 2013, the Company entered into an $1.035 billion (“Aggregate Credit Commitment”) unsecured, 5-year credit facility (“Credit Facility”) with 15 banks which extends to August 1, 2018. Up to 75% of the Aggregate Credit Commitment is available for letters of credit. The Credit Facility has an accordion feature under which the Company may, subject to certain conditions set forth in the agreement, increase the Credit Facility up to a maximum aggregate amount of $2.0 billion. The Company may select interest rates for the Credit Facility equal to (i) the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin or (ii) the lenders’ base rate plus an applicable margin, which in each case is based on the Company’s credit rating and leverage ratio. At April 30, 2014, the interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility was 1.85% per annum. The Company is obligated to pay an undrawn commitment fee which is based on the average daily unused amount of the Aggregate Credit Commitment and the Company’s credit ratings and leverage ratio. Any proceeds from borrowings under the Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes. The Company and substantially all of its 100% owned home building subsidiaries are guarantors under the Credit Facility.
Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company is not permitted to allow its maximum leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) to exceed 1.75 to 1.00 and is required to maintain a tangible net worth (as defined in the Credit Facility) of no less than approximately $2.45 billion. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, at April 30, 2014, the Company’s leverage ratio was approximately 0.81 and its tangible net worth was approximately $3.65 billion. Based upon the minimum tangible net worth requirement at April 30, 2014, the Company’s ability to repurchase its common stock is limited to approximately $1.71 billion.
At April 30, 2014, the Company had $95.0 million outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $90.8 million. As part of the Shapell acquisition, the Company borrowed $370.0 million under the Credit Facility on February 3, 2014, of which $275.0 million was repaid as of April 30, 2014.
Senior Unsecured Term Loan
On February 3, 2014, the Company entered into a 5-year senior, $485.0 million, unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) with ten banks. The full amount of the Term Loan Facility was borrowed by the Company on February 3, 2014. The Company may select interest rates for the Term Loan Facility equal to (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin, (ii) the base rate (which is defined as the greatest of (a) SunTrust Bank’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% and (c) one-month LIBOR plus 1%) plus an applicable margin or (iii) the federal funds / Euro rate (which is defined as the greater of (a) the sum of the federal funds effective rate plus an applicable margin plus 0.25% and (b) one-month LIBOR), with the applicable margin, in each case, based on the Company’s leverage ratio. At April 30, 2014, the interest rate on the Term Loan Facility was 1.56% per annum.
The Company and substantially all of its 100% owned home building subsidiaries are guarantors under the Term Loan Facility. The Term Loan Facility contains substantially the same financial covenants as the Company’s Credit Facility. The Term Loan Facility will mature, and amounts owing under it will become due and payable, on February 3, 2019.
364-Day Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
On February 4, 2014, the Company entered into a 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “364-Day Facility”) with five banks. The 364-Day Facility provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility to be made available to the Company, from time to time after February 4, 2014 and prior to February 3, 2015, in the amount of $500.0 million. The Company intends for this facility to remain undrawn and its purpose is to provide the Company additional liquidity should unforeseen circumstances arise. The Company may select interest rates for the 364-Day Facility equal to (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin, (ii) the base rate (which is defined as the greatest of (a) Citibank’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% and (c) one-month LIBOR plus 1%) plus an applicable margin or (iii) the federal funds / Euro rate (which is defined as the greater of (a) the sum of the federal funds effective rate plus an applicable margin plus 0.25% and (b) one-month LIBOR), with the applicable margin, in each case, based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company is obligated to pay an undrawn commitment fee.
The Company and substantially all of its 100% owned home building subsidiaries are guarantors under the 364-Day Facility. The 364-Day Facility contains substantially the same financial covenants as the Company’s Credit Facility. The 364-Day Facility will terminate, and amounts owed under the 364-Day Facility will become due and payable, on February 3, 2015.
At April 30, 2014, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the 364-Day Facility.
