Note 8. Debt
The following is a summary of the Company’s long-term indebtedness (in thousands):
Senior Credit Facility
Prior to the refinancing of the Company's Senior Credit Facility on March 29, 2019, the Company’s previous Senior Credit Facility matured on May 8, 2020 and provided a $300 million revolver, a $300 million term loan and a $450 million expansion option, subject to certain conditions. Borrowings were subject to a pricing grid, which could result in increases or decreases to the borrowing spread, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, ranging from a spread of 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. In addition, a non-use fee was payable quarterly on the average unused credit line under the revolver ranging from 0.15% to 0.35% per annum.
On March 29, 2019, the Company refinanced its Senior Credit Facility resulting in a new $600 million Senior Credit Facility, comprised of a $400 million revolving line of credit and a $200 million term loan. The new facility, which matures in March 2024, includes a reduction in pricing, bears an initial interest rate of LIBOR + 1.62%, and expands the revolving credit facility from $300 million to $400 million. Quarterly term loan principal payments of $1.25 million begin on August 31, 2019, escalating to $5.0 million by May 31, 2022, with the remaining principal due at maturity. During the three months ended May 31, 2019 and in line with its capital allocation strategy, the Company electively prepaid $10 million against the remaining principal balance of the term loan.
The new credit facility contains financial covenants that are consistent with the prior facility, with enhancements that improve overall liquidity, and provides the option for future expansion through a $300 million accordion on the revolver. The two financial covenants included are a maximum leverage ratio of 3.75:1 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.5:1. For each covenant, certain transactions lead to adjustments to the underlying ratio, including a reduction of the minimum interest coverage ratio from 3.5 to 3.0 for any fiscal quarter ending within twelve months after the sale of the remaining EC&S business and an increase to the leverage ratio from 3.75 to 4.25 during the four fiscal quarters after a significant acquisition.
The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants at May 31, 2019. Borrowings under the credit agreement are secured by substantially all personal property assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiary guarantors and certain equity interests owned by the foreign law pledgors.
As of May 31, 2019, the variable borrowing rate on the outstanding term loan balance was 4.07% and the unused credit line and amount available for borrowing under the revolver was $398.8 million.
Senior Notes
On April 16, 2012, the Company issued $300 million of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Senior Notes”), of which $287.6 million remains outstanding. 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 (currently ranging from 100.00% to 101.88%), plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Company was in compliance with all the terms of the Senior Notes at May 31, 2019.
