Senior Credit Facility
The Company's $600 million Senior Credit Facility is comprised of a $400 million revolving line of credit and provided for a $200 million term loan which was scheduled to mature in March 2024. It also provides the option for future expansion through a $300 million accordion on the revolving line of credit. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest based on LIBOR or a base rate, with interest rate spreads above LIBOR or the base rate being subject to adjustments based on the Company's net leverage ratio, ranging from 1.125% to 2.00% in the case of loans bearing interest at LIBOR and from 1.25% to 1.00% in the case of loans bearing interest at the base rate. In addition, a non-use fee is payable quarterly on the average unused amount of the revolving line of credit ranging from 0.15% to 0.3% per annum, based on the Company's net leverage ratio.
The Senior Credit Facility contains two financial covenants which 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 EC&S segment 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 February 29, 2020. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility 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.
In November 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the sale of the EC&S segment to pay off the outstanding principal balance on the term loan. In conjunction, we expensed the remaining $0.6 million of associated capitalized debt issuance costs. As of February 29, 2020, the unused credit line and amount available for borrowing under the revolving line of credit was $394.9 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 remain 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 at 100.9% and reducing to 100.0% on June 15, 2020, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
