Term Loan Credit Agreement
On December 20, 2013, the Company entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) among the Company, as borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank., N.A, as administrative agent and as collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto.
The credit facility provided under the Term Loan Credit Agreement consists of an initial term loan facility of $200.0 million , the entirety of which was disbursed in order to pay for the purchase of the Company's then outstanding 10.5% senior unsecured notes due 2016 (the “Notes”) that were accepted under a cash tender offer and the subsequent redemption of the remaining outstanding Notes and to pay associated fees and expenses in connection with the cash tender offer and redemption. The Company has the right to request increases to the aggregate amount of term loans by an amount not to exceed $50.0 million in the aggregate.
By refinancing the Notes with this Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Company was able to reduce the effective interest rate on its long-term debt from 10.5% (or $21.0 million of interest per year on $200.0 million of principal) to 6.25% (or $12.5 million of interest per year on $200.0 million of principal). In addition, it moved the principal portion of the Company's long-term debt into a structure that is efficiently pre-payable without a premium. This allows the Company to use its cash flow to efficiently deliver value to the Company's stockholders.
The Term Loan Credit Agreement maturity date, with respect to the initial $200.0 million term loan, is December 20, 2018. Under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Company is required to make regularly scheduled principal payments of $2.5 million each quarter, with all remaining unpaid principal due at maturity. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company made its scheduled principal payment of $2.5 million and voluntarily prepaid its $2.5 million scheduled principal payment due June 30, 2014.
The term loan extended under the Term Loan Credit Agreement can be maintained in different tranches consisting of Eurodollar loans or as base rate loans. It is expected that the borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Agreement will be maintained in Eurodollars and therefore will bear interest, for any interest period, at a rate per annum equal to (i) the higher of (A) the LIBOR rate for U.S. dollar deposits for a period equal to the applicable interest period as determined by the administrative agent in accordance with the Term Loan Credit Agreement and (B) with respect to the initial term loans only, 1.00%, plus (ii) an applicable margin of 5.25%
The Company will pay certain recurring fees with respect to the credit facility, including administration fees to the administrative agent.
In accordance with the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain an Interest Expense Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) greater than or equal to 2.00:1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter. In addition, the Company is required to maintain a Total Leverage Ratio less than or equal to (i) 4.50:1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending through December 31, 2014; (ii) 4.25:1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending between March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2015; (iii) 4.00:1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending between March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2016; (iv) 3.75:1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending between March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2017; and (v) 3.50:1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2018 and thereafter. The Company was in compliance with the Term Loan Credit Agreement covenants as of March 31, 2014.
Subject to certain exceptions, the term loan extended under the Term Loan Credit Agreement is subject to customary mandatory prepayment provisions with respect to: the net cash proceeds from certain asset sales; the net cash proceeds from certain issuances or incurrences of debt (other than debt permitted to be incurred under the terms of the Term Loan Credit Agreement); a portion (with stepdowns based upon the achievement of a financial covenant linked to the total leverage ratio) of annual excess cash flow of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, and with such required prepayment amount to be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the amount of voluntary prepayments of term loans made with internally generated funds; and, the net cash proceeds in excess of a certain amount from insurance recovery (other than business interruption insurance) and condemnation events of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, subject to certain reinvestment rights.
The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, subject to limitations and exceptions, and customary covenants restricting the ability (subject to various exceptions) of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness (including guarantee obligations); incur liens; engage in mergers or other fundamental changes; sell certain property or assets; pay dividends of other distributions; consummate acquisitions; make investments, loans and advances; prepay certain indebtedness; change the nature of their business; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and, incur restrictions on the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to make distributions, advances and asset transfers. In addition, under the Term Loan Credit Agreement the Company will be required to comply with a specific leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio.
The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including with respect to: nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; material inaccuracy of a representation or warranty when made; failure to perform or observe covenants; cross-default to other material indebtedness; bankruptcy and insolvency events; inability to pay debts; monetary judgment defaults; actual or asserted invalidity or impairment of any definitive loan documentation; and a change of control.
The obligations of the Company under the Term Loan Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each United States domestic subsidiary of the Company. The Term Loan Credit Agreement and any interest rate protection and other hedging arrangements provided by any lender party to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or any affiliate of such a lender are secured on a first priority basis by a perfected security interest in substantially all of the Company’s and each guarantor’s assets (subject to certain exceptions), except that such lien is second priority in the case of inventory, receivables and related assets that are subject to a first priority security interest under the 2012 Credit Agreement (as defined below).
2012 Credit Agreement
On January 27, 2012, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “2012 Credit Agreement”). The 2012 Credit Agreement was amended on December 20, 2013 in connection with the Company's entry into the Term Loan Credit Agreement for the principal purpose of making the 2012 Credit Agreement consistent with the Term Loan Credit Agreement. The 2012 Credit Agreement, as amended, provides revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $40.0 million with a Canadian sublimit of $5.0 million, based on inventory and accounts receivable of the Company’s subsidiaries organized in the US ("United States Domestic Subsidiaries") and Canada ("Canadian Domestic Subsidiaries") that meet certain eligibility criteria. The 2012 Credit Agreement has a maturity date of January 27, 2017.
Amounts borrowed in US dollars under the 2012 Credit Agreement bear interest, in the case of LIBOR loans, at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus the LIBOR Rate Margin (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement), which may range from 1.75% to 2.25%, based on Average Daily Net Availability (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement). All other amounts borrowed in US dollars that are not LIBOR loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the greatest of (A) the Federal Funds rate plus
0.5%, (B) the LIBOR (calculated based upon an interest period of three months and determined on a daily basis), plus 1.0% per annum, and (C) the rate of interest announced, from time to time, within Wells Fargo Bank, National Association at its principal office in San Francisco as its “prime rate,” plus (ii) the Base Rate Margin (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement), which may range from 0.75% to 1.25%, based on Average Daily Net Availability (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement). Amounts borrowed in Canadian dollars bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Canadian Base Rate (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement) plus the LIBOR Margin, which may range from 1.75% to 2.25%, based on Average Daily Net Availability.
The 2012 Credit Agreement contains various loan covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to take certain actions, including restrictions on incurrence of indebtedness, creation of liens, mergers or consolidations, dispositions of assets, repurchase or redemption of capital stock, making certain investments, entering into certain transactions with affiliates or changing the nature of the Company’s business. In addition, at any time when Excess Availability (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement) is less than $8.0 million, the Company is required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement) of at least 1.0. The Company’s obligations under the 2012 Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s and its United States Domestic Subsidiaries’ assets. The Company's United States Domestic Subsidiaries have also guaranteed all of the Company’s obligations under the 2012 Credit Agreement. The obligations of the Company’s Canadian Domestics Subsidiaries which are borrowers under the 2012 Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company’s Canadian Domestic Subsidiaries.
As of and during the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company did not have any outstanding debt under the 2012 Credit Agreement, other than contingent reimbursement obligations for undrawn standby letters of credit described below that were issued under the 2012 Credit Agreement.
As of March 31, 2014, based on inventory and accounts receivable of the Company’s subsidiaries organized in the US and Canada, the Company’s borrowing availability under the 2012 Credit Agreement was $40.0 million. Standby letters of credit totaling $2.5 million reduced the Company’s borrowing availability under the 2012 Credit Agreement to $37.5 million as of March 31, 2014.
Foreign Credit Agreement
In the third quarter of 2013, in conjunction with its Chinese operations, UNIS Document Solutions Co. Ltd. (“UDS”), the Company’s Chinese business venture with Beijing-based Unisplendour, entered into a revolving credit facility with a term of 18 months. The facility provides for a maximum credit amount of 20.0 million Chinese Yuan Renminbi, which translates to U.S. $3.2 million as of March 31, 2014.
