The Company’s Senior Credit Facility, which matures on May 8, 2020, includes a $600.0 million revolver, a $300.0 million term loan and a $450.0 million expansion option, subject to certain conditions. Borrowings are subject to a pricing grid, which can result in increases or decreases to the borrowing spread, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, ranging from 1.00% to 2.25% in the case of loans bearing interest at LIBOR and from 0.00% to 1.25% in the case of loans bearing interest at the base rate. As of May 31, 2016, the borrowing spread on LIBOR based borrowings was 2.00% (aggregating to a 2.44% variable rate borrowing cost). In addition, a non-use fee is payable quarterly on the average unused credit line under the revolver ranging from 0.15% to 0.35% per annum. As of May 31, 2016, the unused credit line under the revolver was $592.1 million, of which $183.0 million was available for borrowing. Quarterly term loan principal payments of $3.8 million begin on June 30, 2016, and increase to $7.5 million on June 30, 2017, with the remaining principal due at maturity. The Senior Credit Facility, which is secured by substantially all of the Company’s domestic personal property assets, also contains customary limits and restrictions concerning investments, sales of assets, liens on assets, dividends and other payments. The two financial covenants included in the Senior Credit Facility agreement are a maximum leverage ratio of 3.75:1 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.5:1. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants at May 31, 2016.
On April 16, 2012, the Company issued $300.0 million of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Senior Notes”), of which $288.1 million remains outstanding at May 31, 2016 and August 31, 2015. The Senior Notes require no principal installments prior to their June 15, 2022 maturity, require semiannual interest payments in December and June of each year and contain certain financial and non-financial covenants. The Senior Notes include a call feature that allows the Company to repurchase them anytime on or after June 15, 2017 at stated redemption prices (ranging from 100.0% to 102.8%), plus accrued and unpaid interest.
