Debt | DEBT The components of short-term debt are as follows:
The components of long-term debt are as follows:
The aggregate contractual maturities of long-term debt for each of the five fiscal years subsequent to May 31, 2020, and thereafter are as follows:
We maintain a $750.0 million revolving credit agreement (Revolving Credit Agreement) with Bank of America, N.A. (BOA), as administrative agent, and the lenders and other agents party thereto. The Revolving Credit Agreement is a senior unsecured credit commitment to the Company and contains customary representations and affirmative and negative covenants (including limitations on liens and subsidiary debt and a maximum consolidated lease adjusted total debt to total capitalization ratio of 0.75 to 1.00) and events of default usual for credit facilities of this type. As of May 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Revolving Credit Agreement matures on October 27, 2022, and the proceeds may be used for working capital and capital expenditures, the refinancing of certain indebtedness, certain acquisitions and general corporate purposes. Loans under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin determined by reference to a ratings-based pricing grid (Applicable Margin), or the base rate (which is defined as the highest of the BOA prime rate plus 0.075 percent, the Federal Funds rate plus 0.500 percent, and the Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.075 percent) plus the Applicable Margin. Assuming a “BBB-” equivalent credit rating level, the Applicable Margin under the Revolving Credit Agreement will be 1.075 percent for LIBOR loans and 0.075 percent for base rate loans. As of May 31, 2020, we had no outstanding balances under the Revolving Credit Agreement. On April 6, 2020, we entered into a $270.0 million 364-day Term Loan Credit Agreement (the Term Loan Agreement) with BOA, as administrative agent, and the lenders and other agents party thereto. The Term Loan Agreement is a senior unsecured obligation of the Company and contains customary representations and affirmative and negative covenants (including limitations on liens and subsidiary debt and a maximum consolidated total debt to total capitalization ratio of 0.75 to 1.00). The Term Loan Agreement also contains events of default customary for credit agreements of this type. The Term Loan Agreement was fully drawn on April 6, 2020 and matures on April 5, 2021, and the proceeds may be used for working capital and capital expenditures, the refinancing of certain indebtedness, certain acquisitions and general corporate purposes. The Term Loan Agreement includes a covenant that we will not use the proceeds to pay any cash dividends to shareholders or to repurchase our common stock. The Term Loan Agreement also contains a provision that allows existing lenders to increase their loans, and additional lenders to join the Term Loan Agreement after the April 6, 2020 closing date and to make additional loans, up to a total principal amount of $370.0 million. Interest rates on borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement will be based on prevailing interest rates as described in the Term Loan Agreement and, in part, upon our credit ratings. Applicable interest rates under the Term Loan Agreement may be modified in the event of a change in the rating of our long-term senior unsecured debt. The applicable interest rate for this loan at May 31, 2020 was 3.750 percent. The interest rate on our $42.8 million 6.800 percent senior notes due October 2037 is subject to adjustment from time to time if the debt rating assigned to such series of notes is downgraded below a certain rating level (or subsequently upgraded). The maximum adjustment is 2.000 percent above the initial interest rate and the interest rate cannot be reduced below the initial interest rate. As of May 31, 2020, no such adjustments are made to this rate.
