New Credit Facility
 
In
June 2018,
we entered into a new credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) that contains a
$150.0
million revolving component (the “Revolving Facility”) and a
$200.0
million term loan component (the “Term Facility”). The Credit Facility contains an accordion feature that, so long as
no
event of default exists, allows us to request an increase in the borrowing amounts under the Revolving Facility or the Term Facility by a combined maximum amount of
$75.0
million. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are classified as either “base rate loans” or “Eurodollar rate loans.” Base rate loans accrue interest at a base rate equal to the agent’s prime rate plus an applicable margin that was set at
1.25%
through
September 30, 2018
and adjusted quarterly thereafter between
0.75%
and
1.50%
based on our consolidated net leverage ratio. Eurodollar rate loans will accrue interest at London Interbank Offered Rate, or a comparable or successor rate approved by the administrative agent, plus an applicable margin that was set at
2.25%
through
September 30, 2018
and adjusted quarterly thereafter between
1.75%
and
2.50%
based on our consolidated net leverage ratio. The Credit Facility requires payment of a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Facility commitment of between
0.25%
and
0.35%
based on our consolidated net leverage ratio. In addition, the Revolving Facility includes, within its
$150.0
million revolving credit facility, a letter of credit sub facility in an aggregate amount of
$75.0
million and a swingline sub facility in an aggregate amount of
$15.0
million. The Term Facility has scheduled quarterly principal payments between
1.25%
and
2.50%
of the original face amount of the Term Facility plus any additional amount borrowed pursuant to the accordion feature of the Term Facility, with the
first
such payment occurring on the last day of our fiscal quarter ending
September 30, 2018.
The Credit Facility will mature on
June 18, 2023.
 
Borrowings under the Credit Facility are prepayable at any time without premium and are subject to mandatory prepayment from the net proceeds of certain asset sales and other borrowings. The Credit Facility is secured by a pledge of substantially all of our assets, excluding, among other things, certain real estate and revenue equipment financed outside the Credit Facility.
 
The Credit Facility contains restrictive covenants including, among other things, restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness or issue guarantees, to create liens on our assets, to make distributions on or redeem equity interests, to make investments, to transfer or sell properties or other assets and to engage in mergers, consolidations, or acquisitions. In addition, the Credit Facility requires us to meet specified financial ratios and tests, including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio.
 
At
September 30, 2018,
the Revolving Facility had issued collateralized letters of credit in the face amount of
$37.5
million, with
$0
borrowings outstanding and
$112.5
million available to borrow.
 
The Credit Facility includes usual and customary events of default for a facility of this nature and provides that, upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, payment of all amounts payable under the Credit Facility
may
be accelerated, and the Lenders’ commitments
may
be terminated. At
September 30, 2018,
the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants prescribed by the Credit Facility.
 
Old
Term Loan Agreement
 
In
June 2018,
as a result of the offering, the Company repaid its then existing term loan and incurred a loss on early extinguishment of debt. The loss resulted from the write-off of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs of
$0.6
million and
$5.3
million, respectively, payment of fees to lenders of
$1.4
million and
third
party fees of
$0.1
million. The effective interest rate for the term loan at
December 31, 2017
was
12.2%,
including the effect of original issue discount as discussed below.
 
Original issue discount was recorded as an offset to long-term debt and was amortized over the term of the respective obligation using the effective interest method. Unamortized original issue discount was
$0.8
million as of
December 
31,
2017.
 
Old
Line of Credit
 
In
June 2018,
as a result of the offering, the Company repaid and terminated its then existing revolving credit facility and incurred a loss on early extinguishment of debt. The loss resulted from the write-off of debt issuance costs of
$0.2
million and payment of fees to lenders of
$0.1
million.
