Short-term Bank Loans

 

The Company’s international securities clearance and settlement activities are funded with operating cash or with short-term bank loans in the form of overdraft facilities.  At September 30, 2012, there was $15.4 million outstanding under these facilities at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 1.3%, primarily associated with European settlement activities.

 

In the U.S., securities clearance and settlement activities are funded with operating cash, securities loaned or with short-term bank loans under a three-year committed credit agreement for up to $150 million entered into with a syndicate of banks and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent in January 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”).

 

At September 30, 2012, there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

 

Term Debt

 

On August 10, 2012, Investment Technology Group, Inc. (“Group”) entered into a $25.0 million master lease facility with BMO Harris Equipment Finance Company (“BMO”).  The primary purpose of this facility is to finance equipment and construction expenditures related to the build-out of the Company’s new headquarters in lower Manhattan, with $14 million of the total facility available for funding leasehold improvements in connection therewith.  The facility contains an initial interim funding agreement which is then succeeded by a capital lease.

 

Under the terms of the interim funding agreement, Group will be reimbursed for expenditures made during an interim funding period which ends on May 7, 2013, or up to 90 days later if an extension is requested and granted (“Interim Funding Period”).  Interest-only payments on the aggregate outstanding borrowings during the Interim Funding Period are paid monthly at an annual rate of 2.25% plus 30-day LIBOR.  Upon expiration of the Interim Funding Period, the interim funding agreement will be succeeded by fixed rate term financing structured as a capital lease with a 48-month term (from its inception date), at the end of which Group may purchase the underlying equipment for $1.  The fixed rate will be based on the 4-year LIBOR Swap Rate at the lease inception date plus a spread of 2.25%.

 

At September 30, 2012, there were no amounts outstanding under the BMO facility.
