Senior Unsecured Term Loan

On February 3, 2014, we entered into a $485.0 million, five-year senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) with a syndicate of banks. We borrowed the full amount of the Term Loan Facility on February 3, 2014. In October 2014, we increased the Term Loan Facility by $15.0 million and borrowed the full amount of the increase. The Term Loan Facility, as amended, matures on August 2, 2021. At April 30, 2017, the interest rate on borrowings was 2.39% per annum.

We and substantially all of our 100%-owned home building subsidiaries are guarantors under the Term Loan Facility. The Term Loan Facility contains substantially the same financial covenants as our New Credit Facility, as described below.

Credit Facility

On August 1, 2013, we entered into a $1.035 billion, unsecured, five-year revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The commitments under the Credit Facility were scheduled to expire on August 1, 2018. On May 19, 2016, we entered into a new $1.215 billion (subsequently increased to $1.295 billion), unsecured, five-year revolving credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks (the “Aggregate Credit Commitment”) and terminated the Credit Facility. The commitments under the New Credit Facility are scheduled to expire on May 19, 2021. We and substantially all of our 100%-owned home building subsidiaries are guarantors under the New Credit Facility.

Under the terms of the New Credit Facility, at April 30, 2017, our maximum leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) may not exceed 1.75 to 1.00, and we are required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth (as defined in the credit agreement) of no less than approximately $2.71 billion. Under the terms of the New Credit Facility, at April 30, 2017, our leverage ratio was approximately 0.70 to 1.00, and our tangible net worth was approximately $4.41 billion. Based upon the limitations related to our repurchase of common stock in the New Credit Facility, our ability to repurchase our common stock was limited to approximately $2.40 billion as of April 30, 2017.

At April 30, 2017, we had no outstanding borrowings under the New Credit Facility and had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $120.0 million under the New Credit Facility. At April 30, 2017, the interest rate on borrowings under the New Credit Facility would have been 2.50% per annum.

Loans Payable – Other

Our “Loans payable – other” primarily represent purchase money mortgages on properties we acquired that the seller had financed and various revenue bonds that were issued by government entities on our behalf to finance community infrastructure and our manufacturing facilities. At April 30, 2017, the weighted-average interest rate on “Loans payable – other” was 3.75% per annum.

Senior Notes

At April 30, 2017, we, through Toll Brothers Finance Corp., had nine issues of Senior Notes outstanding with an aggregate principal amount of $3.01 billion. In March 2017, the Company issued $300 million principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2027. The Company received $297.2 million of net proceeds from the issuance of these Senior Notes.

Mortgage Company Loan Facility

In October 2016, TBI Mortgage^® Company (“TBI Mortgage”), our wholly owned mortgage subsidiary, entered into a Mortgage Warehousing Agreement (“Warehousing Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks. The purpose of the Warehousing Agreement is to finance the origination of mortgage loans by TBI Mortgage, and the Warehousing Agreement is accounted for as a secured borrowing under ASC 860, “Transfers and Servicing.” The Warehousing Agreement provides for loan purchases up to $150.0 million, subject to certain sublimits. In addition, the Warehousing Agreement provides for an accordion feature under which TBI Mortgage may request that the aggregate commitments under the Warehousing Agreement be increased to an amount up to $210.0 million for a short period of time. The Warehousing Agreement expires on October 27, 2017, and borrowings thereunder bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum. At April 30, 2017, the interest rate on the Warehousing Agreement was 3.00% per annum. At April 30, 2017 and October 31, 2016, there was $61.1 million and $210.0 million, respectively, outstanding under the Warehousing Agreement, respectively, which are included in liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
