Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

        On April 4, 2013, we entered into a syndicated Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Credit Agreement") with 26 banks as lenders. The Credit Agreement amends and restates our existing $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and provides for a $500.0 million term loan, maturing on April 4, 2018. The term loan will amortize in quarterly installments, resulting in an annual amortization of 5% during the first year, 5% during the second year, 10% during the third year, 10% during the fourth year and 10% during the fifth year with the balance to be paid at maturity. The Credit Agreement includes an option to increase the revolving credit facility for up to an additional $500.0 million at our request, subject to approval of the lenders and certain other conditions. Interest on borrowings from the amended and restated revolving credit facility is at variable rates based on LIBOR plus 1.25% or the bank prime rate plus 0.25% and included a commitment fee at an annual rate of 0.20% on the unused portion as of December 31, 2013. The applicable margins over LIBOR rate and base rate borrowings, along with commitment fees, are subject to adjustment every quarter based on our leverage ratio, as defined.

        Weighted average rates on borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility were 1.41% and 1.46% as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of December 31, 2013, we had $59.2 million of letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility with availability to issue an additional $190.8 million of letters of credit.

Senior Unsecured Notes—Private Placements

        We had $75.0 million of outstanding senior unsecured notes at a fixed rate of 5.35% issued in private placements of debt as of December 31, 2012. On July 2, 2013, the outstanding notes matured and we paid off the notes with borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Senior Unsecured Notes—Publicly Traded

        On November 20, 2006 we entered into an indenture (the "2006 Indenture"), for the issuance of $600 million of unsecured debt securities. The total debt issued was comprised of two tranches, (a) $350 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 6.20% per annum, maturing on November 15, 2016 and (b) $250 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 6.85% per annum, maturing on November 15, 2036.

        On April 12, 2013, we entered into an indenture (the "2013 Indenture" and, together with the 2006 Indenture, the "Indentures"), for the issuance of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes at the rate of 4.50% per annum, maturing on April 15, 2023. The net proceeds from the issuance were used to partially fund the acquisition of Metals USA.

        Under the Indentures, the notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The notes are guaranteed by our named 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee our borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The senior unsecured notes include provisions that require us to make an offer to repurchase the notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest in the event of a change in control and a downgrade of our credit rating.

Other Notes and Revolving Credit Facilities

        Other revolving credit facilities with a combined credit limit of approximately $21.6 million are in place for operations in Asia and Europe with combined outstanding balances of $9.5 million and $8.3 million as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

        Pursuant to our acquisition of Metals USA, we assumed industrial revenue bonds with combined outstanding balances of $11.9 million as of December 31, 2013 that have maturities through 2027. Additionally, we assumed mortgage obligations pursuant to our acquisition of Travel Main, which have outstanding balances of $43.0 million as of December 31, 2013. The mortgages, which are secured by the underlying properties, have a fixed interest rate of 6.40% and scheduled amortization payments with a lump sum payment of $39.2 million due October 2016.

Covenants

        The Credit Agreement requires us to maintain an interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio, among other things.

        Additionally, our named 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries, which constitute the substantial majority of our subsidiaries, guarantee the borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the Indentures. The subsidiary guarantors, together with Reliance, are required collectively to account for at least 80% of our consolidated EBITDA and 80% of consolidated tangible assets.

        We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of December 31, 2013.
