On May 24, 2018, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (the "New Credit Facility") with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto. We also issued notes pursuant to an indenture among the Company, certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. In connection with the closing of the New Credit Facility and the issuance of the notes, we concurrently repaid all outstanding debt obligations and terminated our credit agreement dated as of May 11, 2015, as amended, among the Company, certain of our subsidiaries, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto (the "Former Credit Facility"). The Former Credit Facility consisted of (1) a $400.0 million revolving credit facility, (2) a $300.0 million term loan facility, (3) a $137.5 million (U.S. dollar equivalent) Canadian dollar term loan facility, and (4) a $112.5 million term loan facility.
Credit Facility
The New Credit Facility includes a $500.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "New Revolving Credit Facility"), a $50.0 million U.S. dollar senior secured term loan A made available to the Company (the "New USD Term Loan") and a $250.0 million (U.S. dollar equivalent) Canadian dollar senior secured term loan A made available to BWXT Canada Ltd. (the "New CAD Term Loan"). All obligations under the New Credit Facility are scheduled to mature on May 24, 2023. The proceeds of loans under the New Credit Facility are available for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes.
The New Credit Facility allows for additional parties to become lenders and, subject to certain conditions, for the increase of the commitments under the New Revolving Credit Facility, the New USD Term Loan or the New CAD Term Loan, subject to an aggregate maximum for all additional commitments of (1) the greater of (a) $250 million and (b) 65% of EBITDA, as defined in the New Credit Facility, for the last four full fiscal quarters, plus (2) all voluntary prepayments of term loans, plus (3) additional amounts provided the Company is in compliance with a pro forma first lien leverage ratio test of less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00.
The Company's obligations under the New Credit Facility are guaranteed, subject to certain exceptions, by substantially all of the Company's present and future wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries (other than its captive insurance subsidiary and the domestic holding company of its Canadian subsidiaries). The obligations of BWXT Canada Ltd. under the New Credit Facility are guaranteed, subject to certain exceptions, by (1) substantially all of the present and future wholly owned Canadian restricted subsidiaries of BWXT Canada Ltd., (2) substantially all of the Company's present and future wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries (other than its captive insurance subsidiary and the domestic holding company of its Canadian subsidiaries), (3) BWXT Canada Holdings Corp. and (4) BWXT ITG Canada Inc.
The New Credit Facility is secured by first-priority liens on certain assets owned by the Company (other than its subsidiaries comprising its Nuclear Operations Group segment and a portion of its Nuclear Services Group segment); provided that (1) the Company's domestic obligations are only secured by assets and property of the domestic loan parties and (2) the obligations of BWXT Canada Ltd. and the Canadian guarantors are secured by assets and property of the Canadian guarantors and the domestic loan parties.
The New Credit Facility requires interest payments on revolving loans on a periodic basis until maturity. We will be required to make quarterly amortization payments on the New USD Term Loan and the New CAD Term Loan in an amount equal to 1.25% of the initial aggregate principal amount of each term loan beginning in the third quarter of 2018. We may prepay all loans under the New Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty (other than customary Eurocurrency breakage costs), subject to notice requirements.
The New Credit Facility includes financial covenants that are tested on a quarterly basis, based on the rolling four-quarter period that ends on the last day of each fiscal quarter. The maximum permitted leverage ratio is 4.00 to 1.00, which may be increased to 4.50 to 1.00 for up to four consecutive fiscal quarters after a material acquisition. The minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio is 3.00 to 1.00. In addition, the New Credit Facility contains various restrictive covenants, including with respect to debt, liens, investments, mergers, acquisitions, dividends, equity repurchases and asset sales. As of June 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all covenants set forth in the New Credit Facility.
Outstanding loans under the New Credit Facility bear interest at our option at either (1) the Eurocurrency rate plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.00% per year or (2) the base rate or Canadian index rate, as applicable (described in the New Credit Facility as the highest of (a) with respect to the base rate only, the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the one-month Eurocurrency rate plus 1.0% and (c) the administrative agent's prime rate or the Canadian prime rate, as applicable), plus, in each case, a margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.00% per year. We are charged a commitment fee on the unused portion of the New Revolving Credit Facility, and that fee ranges from 0.150% to 0.275% per year. Additionally, we are charged a letter of credit fee of between 1.25% and 2.00% per year with respect to the amount of each financial letter of credit issued under the New Credit Facility, and a letter of credit fee of between 0.75% and 1.20% per year is charged with respect to the amount of each performance letter of credit issued under the New Credit Facility. The applicable margin for loans, the commitment fee and the letter of credit fees set forth above will vary quarterly based on our leverage ratio. Based on the leverage ratio applicable at June 30, 2018, the margin for Eurocurrency rate and base rate or Canadian index rate loans was 1.375% and 0.375%, respectively, the letter of credit fee for financial letters of credit and performance letters of credit was 1.375% and 0.825%, respectively, and the commitment fee for the unused portion of the New Revolving Credit Facility was 0.175%.
As of June 30, 2018, borrowings outstanding totaled $291.1 million and $0.0 million under our term loans and revolving line of credit, respectively, and letters of credit issued under the New Credit Facility totaled $71.5 million. As a result, we had $428.5 million available for borrowings or to meet letter of credit requirements as of June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, the weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under our New Credit Facility was 3.09%.
The New Credit Facility generally includes customary events of default for a secured credit facility, some of which allow for an opportunity to cure. Under the New Credit Facility, (1) if an event of default relating to bankruptcy or other insolvency events occurs, all related obligations will immediately become due and payable, (2) if any other event of default exists, the lenders will be permitted to accelerate the maturity of the related obligations outstanding and (3) if any event of default exists, the lenders will be permitted to terminate their commitments thereunder and exercise other rights and remedies, including the commencement of foreclosure or other actions against the collateral.
If any default occurs under the New Credit Facility, or if we are unable to make any of the representations and warranties in the New Credit Facility, we will be unable to borrow funds or have letters of credit issued under the New Credit Facility.
Senior Notes
The Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.375% senior notes due 2026 (the "Senior Notes") pursuant to an indenture dated May 24, 2018 (the "Indenture"), among the Company, the guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Senior Notes are guaranteed by each of the Company's present and future direct and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor under the New Credit Facility.
Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on July 15, 2018, at a rate of 5.375% per annum. The Senior Notes will mature on July 15, 2026.
The Company may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after July 15, 2021 at established redemption prices. At any time prior to July 15, 2021, the Company may also redeem up to 40% of the Senior Notes with net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 105.375% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, at any time prior to July 15, 2021, the Company may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date plus an applicable "make-whole" premium.
The Indenture contains customary events of default, including, among other things, payment default, failure to comply with covenants or agreements contained in the Indenture or the Senior Notes and certain provisions related to bankruptcy events. The Indenture also contains customary negative covenants. As of June 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all covenants and agreements set forth in the Indenture and the Senior Notes.
