Committed Credit Facilities
The Company has four committed credit facilities under which the Company and its subsidiaries may borrow up to $1,000.0 million, subject to the terms and conditions for these facilities. The amounts outstanding under these credit facilities carry variable rates of interest, thus approximating fair value. The Company’s committed credit facilities consist of the following:
A three-year $475.0 million first-lien senior secured syndicated loan facility is available to the Company for general working capital requirements and capital expenditures. The facility was amended on April 21, 2022 to replace the $236.1 million revolving credit facility and $165.4 million Term Loan A facility, values as of March 31, 2022, with a $475.0 million revolving credit facility and extend the maturity date to April 21, 2025. Prior to the amendment, the Company was required to make quarterly principal payments against the Term Loan equal to 1.25% of the original balance. During the year ended September 30, 2022, prior to its replacement, the Company made scheduled quarterly principal payments against the Term Loan equal to $4.9 million.
The revolving credit facility is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and those of the Company’s subsidiaries that guarantee the credit facility. Per the terms of the amended facility, the commitment fees and interest rates are subject to decrease if the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, as defined, decreases below certain thresholds.
