LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS

Five-year Revolving Credit Facility ("Credit Facility")

On November 8, 2017, we entered into a five-year Revolving Credit Facility ("Credit Facility") with various lenders for $150 million, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as the administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing lender. As of December 31, 2018, we had no borrowings and $150 million of availability under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility matures on November 8, 2022.

The Credit Facility has an accordion feature that would enable us to increase the borrowing capacity of the Credit Facility by the greater of (i) $100 million and (ii) 2.00x Total Leverage.

In connection with the Credit Facility, for the year ended December 31, 2017, we incurred $1.4 million in financing costs, which were capitalized and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets in our consolidated balance sheets, in accordance with the appropriate short-term or long-term classification. These fees are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the Credit Facility.

Principal payments    

Principal payments, when drawn on the Credit Facility, are made at our discretion with the entire unpaid amount due at maturity.

Interest rate

In general, borrowing under the Credit Facility (other than Swingline loans) bears interest, at our option, based on the Base Rate plus applicable margin or the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") rate plus applicable margin, as defined below:

(A) Base Rate is defined as the highest of: (a) the Prime Rate; (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%; and (c) the daily LIBOR (as defined below) for a one month Interest Period plus 1%.

(B) LIBOR Rate, as determined by the Administrative Agent, is defined as the rate per annum obtained by dividing (1) LIBOR by (2) 1.00 - Eurodollar Reserve Percentage.

Swingline loans will bear interest at the Base Rate plus the applicable Interest Margin. The Credit Facility has a per annum commitment fee (see table below) that will accrue on the unused amounts of the commitments under the Credit Facility.

The applicable interest margins and the commitment fee with respect to the Credit Facility shall be based on the Total Leverage Ratio pursuant to the following pricing grid:

Guarantors and Collateral

Our obligations under the Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by ICU Medical, Inc. and certain of our existing subsidiaries. Our obligations are secured by: (i) 100% of the equity interests of our guarantor subsidiaries; and (ii) all of the tangible and intangible personal property and assets related to us and our guarantor subsidiaries (including, without limitation, all accounts, equipment, inventory and other goods, all instruments, intellectual property and other general intangibles, deposit accounts, securities accounts and other investment property and cash), and (iii) all products, profits and proceeds of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the collateral shall not include certain excluded property.

Debt Covenants

The Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants pertaining to Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage and Consolidated Total Leverage Ratios. In addition, the Credit Facility has restrictions pertaining to limitations on debt, liens, negative pledges, loans, advances, acquisitions, other investments, dividends, distributions, redemptions, repurchases of equity interests, fundamental changes and asset sales and other dispositions, prepayments, redemptions and purchases of subordinated debt and other junior debt, transactions with affiliates, dividend and payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries, changes in line of business, fiscal year and accounting practices and amendment of organizational documents and junior debt documents.

The Consolidated Leverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of Consolidated Total Funded Indebtedness on such date, to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, as defined under the Credit Facility Agreement, for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters. The maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio is not more than 3.00 to 1.00.

The Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of: (a) Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA less the sum of (i) capital expenditures, (ii) federal, state, local and foreign income taxes paid in cash and (iii) cash restricted payments made after the closing date, to (b) Consolidated Fixed Charges for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters, calculated on a pro forma basis. The minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is 2.00 to 1.00.

We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of December 31, 2018.
