The Company’s existing primary secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) currently provides up to $285,000 in revolving credit and contains an accordion feature that could, under prescribed conditions, increase the facility by $100,000 to $385,000 and has a maturity date of June 8, 2017. At September 30, 2013, outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement were $51,000 and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 1.47%.

 

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the proceeds from borrowings may be used to repay certain indebtedness, finance certain acquisitions, provide for working capital and general corporate purposes and, subject to certain restrictions, repurchase the Company’s common stock. In order to repurchase Company common stock under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company must (1) demonstrate compliance on a proforma basis, giving effect to such repurchase with the financial covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement, and (2) have a Leverage Ratio (Debt divided by EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement) not exceeding 2.75 to 1.00 on a proforma basis after giving effect to such repurchase. Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets other than real estate and certain equipment subject to term equipment notes and other financings. The collateral also secures, on a pari passu basis, the obligations under the A&B Credit Facility and the Auxiliary Bank Facilities described below. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest, at the Company’s option, at either LIBOR plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.25%, or an alternate base rate (based upon the greater of (i) the administrative agent bank’s prime lending rate, (ii) the sum of the LIBOR rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.50% or (iii) the sum of the Federal Funds effective rate plus .5% per annum) plus a margin of 0% to .75%. The Company is also required to pay an annual commitment fee ranging from .25% to .375% on available but unused amounts under the Credit Agreement. The interest rate margin and the commitment fee are based upon certain financial performance measures set forth in the Credit Agreement and are redetermined quarterly. At September 30, 2013, the applicable margin on LIBOR based loans was 1.25%, the applicable margin on alternative base rate loans was 0% and the applicable commitment fee was .25% on unused amounts.

 

The Company is subject to certain covenants and restrictions, including limitations on additional indebtedness it may incur in the future, and must meet certain financial tests under the Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with such covenants, restrictions and financial tests at September 30, 2013. In the event the Company is unable to remain in compliance with the Credit Agreement covenants and financial tests contained in the Credit Agreement in the future, the Company’s lenders would have the right to declare it in default with respect to such obligations, and consequently, certain of our other debt obligations, including substantially all our term equipment notes, would be deemed to also be in default. All debt obligations in default would be required to be reclassified as a current liability. In the event the Company was unable to obtain a waiver from its lenders or renegotiate or refinance these obligations, a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to conduct its operations in the ordinary course would likely result.

 

The Company also maintains a secured credit facility (the “A&B Credit Facility”) which provides revolving credit for its Canadian subsidiary, Annan & Bird Lithographers, Inc., available for both U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar loans not to exceed in the aggregate $25,000 (U.S. equivalent). The A&B Credit Facility expires in June 2017. At September 30, 2013, there were no outstanding borrowings under the A&B Credit Facility.  The A&B Credit Facility contains many of the same covenants and restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement. Additionally, a default by the Company under the Credit Agreement constitutes a default under the A&B Credit Facility and vice-versa.

 

In addition, the Company maintains two auxiliary revolving credit facilities (each an “Auxiliary Bank Facility” and collectively the “Auxiliary Bank Facilities”). Each Auxiliary Bank Facility is secured and has a maximum borrowing capacity of $5,000. One facility expires in December 2013 while the other facility expires in October 2014. At September 30, 2013, outstanding borrowings under the Auxiliary Bank Facilities totaled $9,842 and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 1.92%. Because the Company currently has the ability and intent to refinance borrowings outstanding under the Auxiliary Bank Facility expiring in December 2013, such borrowings are classified as long-term debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2013. The Auxiliary Bank Facilities cross-default to the events of default set forth in the Credit Agreement.

 

At September 30, 2013, outstanding borrowings under term equipment notes totaled $34,590 and carried interest rates between 2.8% and 4.0%. The term equipment notes provide for principal payments plus interest for defined periods of up to seven years from the date of issuance, and are secured by certain equipment of the Company. The Company is not subject to any significant financial covenants in connection with any of the term equipment notes. Most of the term equipment notes cross-default to the events of default set forth in the Credit Agreement.

 

At September 30, 2013, other debt obligations totaled $2,112 and provided for principal payments plus interest (fixed and variable rates) for defined periods up to 5 years from the date of issuance. The Company does not have any significant financial covenants or restrictions associated with these other debt obligations.

 

As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s available credit under existing credit facilities was $254,234
