Revolver. Since November 20, 2014, the Company has maintained a revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks (as amended, the “Revolving Credit Agreement”). On February 16, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 5 (the “Fifth Amendment”) to the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Fifth Amendment, among other things, extended the term of the Revolving Credit Agreement to February 2027 and replaced the London Interbank Offered Rate with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate as the basis for the variable rates of interest. At March 31, 2022, the Revolving Credit Agreement was undrawn.

In connection with the closings of offerings of the Senior Notes, entry into the Revolving Credit Agreement and the subsequent amendments, the Company paid certain financing fees which, together with the existing fees related to prior credit facilities, are being amortized over their related lives. At March 31, 2022, $40.1 million of the deferred financing fees and premium remain unamortized, $0.5 million of which is included in “Prepaid and other assets,” $2.0 million of which is included in “Other non-current assets” and $37.6 million of which is included in “Long-term debt” on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.
