On June 23, 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) along with certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers (the “Borrowers”), Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and an issuer of letters of credit, with other agents party thereto. The Credit Agreement replaces the Company’s existing five-year, $700 million credit agreement, dated as of June 27, 2011, which was due to expire on June 27, 2016.
The Credit Agreement consists of a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $700 million with a final maturity date of June 23, 2020. The maturity date may be extended under certain conditions for an additional one-year term. Up to $75 million of the Revolving Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit. Additionally, up to $50 million of the Revolving Facility is available to the Company for swing line loans, available on a same-day basis.
Proceeds of the Revolving Facility are available for use by the Borrowers for working capital and other general corporate
purposes, including refinancing existing debt of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company may request increases in the
lending commitments under the Credit Agreement, but the aggregate lending commitments pursuant to such increases may not
exceed $350 million. The Company has the right, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, to designate
certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company as borrowers under the Credit Agreement. In connection with any such designation,
the Company is required to guarantee the obligations of any such subsidiaries.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at either an alternate base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin. Such applicable margin is based on the Company’s senior, unsecured, long-term debt rating and can range from .91% to 1.50%. Based on the Company’s credit rating at September 30, 2015, the applicable margin was 1.10%. Interest is payable (a) in the case of base rate loans, quarterly, and (b) in the case of LIBOR rate loans, on the maturity date of the borrowing, or quarterly from the effective date for borrowings exceeding three months.
The Credit Agreement requires payment to the lenders of a facility fee based upon (a) the amount of the lenders’ commitments under the credit facility from time to time and (b) the applicable corporate credit ratings of the Company. Voluntary prepayments of any loans and voluntary reductions of the unutilized portion of the commitments under the credit facility are permissible without penalty, subject to break funding payments and minimum notice and minimum reduction amount requirements.
The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that the Company believes are usual and customary for
senior unsecured credit agreements, including a financial covenant requiring the maintenance of a 3.50 to 1.0 or lower leverage
ratio, which is the ratio of the Company’s consolidated total debt to its consolidated EBITDA, each as defined in the Credit
Agreement.
The negative covenants include, among other things, limitations (each of which is subject to customary exceptions for
financings of this type) on our ability to grant liens; enter into transactions resulting in fundamental changes (such as mergers or sales of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company); restrict subsidiary dividends or other subsidiary distributions; enter into transactions with the Company’s affiliates; and incur certain additional subsidiary debt.
The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default (subject to grace periods, as appropriate) including among others: nonpayment of principal, interest or fees; breach of the representations or warranties in any material respect; breach of the financial, affirmative or negative covenants; payment default on, or acceleration of, other material indebtedness; bankruptcy or insolvency; material judgments entered against the Company or any of its subsidiaries; certain specified events under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended; certain changes in control of the Company; and the invalidity or unenforceability of the Credit Agreement or other documents associated with the Credit Agreement.
At September 30, 2015, $203.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility, with $7.3 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in net available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility at September 30, 2015 of approximately $489.7 million.
Other borrowings of $1.8 million at September 30, 2015 consisted primarily of debt at international locations maintained for working capital purposes. Interest is payable on the outstanding debt balances at rates ranging from 0.2% to 1.1% per annum.
During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company paid the balance of the 2.58% Senior Euro Notes, upon its maturity, using cash on hand.
There are two key financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain in connection with the Revolving Facility, which requires a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1 and a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1. At September 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with both of these financial covenants. There are no financial covenants relating to the 4.5% Senior Notes or 4.2% Senior Notes; however, both are subject to cross-default provisions.
