Debt with Commercial Bank

On February 3, 2015, Ebix, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Regions Secured Credit Facility, dated August 5, 2014, among the Company, Regions Financial Corporation as Administrative Agent (“Regions”), with Regions, MUFG Union Bank N.A., and Silicon Valley Bank as joint lenders. The First Amendment amends the Regions Credit Facility by increasing the maximum amount by which the Aggregate Revolving Commitments may be increased to $90 million from the pre-existing limit of $50 million, increases the amount of base facility to $190 million from the pre-existing amount of $150 million, which together with the $50 million accordion feature increases the total Credit Agreement capacity amount to $240 million from the prior amount of $200 million, and expands the syndicated bank group to four participants by adding Fifth Third Bank.

On August 5, 2014, Ebix entered into a credit agreement providing for a $150 million secured syndicated credit facility (the “Regions Secured Credit Facility”) with Regions as administrative agent and Regions with MUFG Union Bank N.A., and Silicon Valley Bank as joint lenders. The financing is comprised of a five-year, $150 million secured revolving credit facility, with an option to expand to $200 million upon request and with additional lender commitments. This new $150 million credit facility with Regions, as administrative agent, replaced the former syndicated $100 million facility that the Company had in place with Citi Bank, N.A. which was paid in full upon the undertaking of this new loan facility with Regions. The interest rate applicable to the Secured Syndicated Credit Facility is LIBOR plus 1.50% or currently 1.69%. Under the Regions Secured Credit Facility the maximum interest rate that could be charged depending upon the Company's leverage ratio is LIBOR plus 2.25%. The underlying financing agreement contains financial covenants regarding the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio and leverage ratio, as well as certain restrictive covenants pertaining to such matters as the incurrence of new debt and the consummation of new business acquisitions. The Company currently is in compliance with all such financial and restrictive covenants. As of March 31, 2015 the Company's consolidated balance sheet includes $1.50 million of remaining deferred financing costs.

At March 31, 2015, the outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit under the Regions Secured Credit Facility was $135.5 million and the facility carried an interest rate of 1.69%. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, no payments were made against the revolving line of credit during the quarter. The revolving line of credit balance is included in the long-term liabilities section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months period ended March 31, 2015, the average and maximum outstanding balances on our revolving line of credit facilities were $127.4 million and $135.5 million, respectively.
