Credit Agreement On May 31, 2012, Cooper entered into an amendment to our Credit Agreement, dated as of January 12, 2011, by and among the Company, CooperVision International Holding Company, LP, the lenders party thereto and KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement, as amended, provides for a multicurrency revolving credit facility in an aggregate commitment amount of $1.0 billion and the aggregate commitment amount under the revolving facility may be increased, upon written request by Cooper, by $500.0 million. The amended Credit Agreement has a termination date of May 31, 2017. The commitment fee rate ranges between 0.100% and 0.275% of the unused portion of the revolving facility based on a pricing grid tied to our Total Leverage Ratio (as defined below and in the Credit Agreement). The applicable margin rates on loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement will bear interest based, at our option, on either the base rate or the adjusted Eurodollar rate (currently referred to as LIBOR) or adjusted foreign currency rate (each as defined in the amended Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin of between 0.00% and 0.75% in respect of base rate loans and between 1.00% and 1.75% in respect of adjusted Eurodollar rate or adjusted foreign currency rate loans, in each case in accordance with a pricing grid tied to our Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. In addition to the annual commitment fee, we are also required to pay certain letter of credit and related fronting fees and other administrative fees pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is not secured by any of the Company's, or any of its subsidiaries’, assets. All obligations under the Credit Agreement will be guaranteed by each of our existing and future direct and indirect material domestic subsidiaries. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement and the Term Loan discussed below, we are also required to maintain specified financial ratios:
• | The ratio of Consolidated Proforma EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense (as defined, Interest Coverage Ratio) be at least 3.00 to 1.00 at all times.
• | The ratio of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness to Consolidated Proforma EBITDA (as defined, Total Leverage Ratio) be no higher than 3.75 to 1.00.
At October 31, 2013, we were in compliance with the Interest Coverage Ratio at 54.29 to 1.00 and the Total Leverage Ratio at 0.69 to 1.00. At October 31, 2013, we had $999.8 million available under the Credit Agreement. In fiscal 2012, we recorded a $1.4 million loss for debt issuance costs as a result of amending the Credit Agreement. The remaining $6.0 million of existing debt issuance costs and the approximately $1.3 million of costs incurred to amend the Credit Agreement are carried in other assets and amortized to interest expense over the life of the Credit Agreement. Term Loan On September 12, 2013, the Company entered into a five-year, $300.0 million, senior unsecured term loan agreement (Term Loan) by and among the Company; the lenders party thereto and KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent. This syndicated credit facility will mature on September 12, 2018, and will be subject to amortization of principal of 5.0% per annum payable quarterly beginning October 31, 2016, with the balance payable at maturity. Amounts outstanding under the new Term Loan agreement will bear interest, at the Company's option, at either the base rate, which is a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) KeyBank's prime rate, (b) 0.5% in excess of the federal funds effective rate and (c) 1% in excess of the adjusted Eurodollar rate (currently referred to as LIBOR) for a one-month interest period on such day, or the adjusted Eurodollar rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin of, initially, 0% , in respect of base rate loans and 0.75% , in respect of adjusted Eurodollar rate loans. Following a specified period after the closing date, the applicable margins will be determined quarterly by reference to a grid based upon the Company's ratio of funded debt to consolidated proforma EBITDA, as defined in the Term Loan agreement, and consistent with the revolving Credit Agreement discussed above. The Term Loan agreement contains customary restrictive covenants, as well as financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a certain total leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio, as defined in the agreement, consistent with the revolving Credit Agreement discussed above. The agreement also contains customary events of default, the occurrence of which would permit the Administrative Agent to declare the principal, accrued interest and other obligations of the Company under the agreement to be immediately due and payable. At October 31, 2013, we had $300.0 million outstanding under the Term Loan. European Credit Facility The Company maintains a European credit facility in the form of a continuing and unconditional guaranty. The aggregate facility limit was $37.3 million and $35.8 million at October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company will pay all forms of indebtedness in the currency in which it is denominated for those certain subsidiaries. Interest expense is calculated on all outstanding balances based on an applicable base rate for each country plus a fixed spread common across most subsidiaries covered under the guaranty. At October 31, 2013, $1.3 million of the facility was utilized. The weighted average interest rate on the outstanding balances was 1.5%. In addition to this European credit facility, the Company has available a non-guaranteed Euro-denominated Italian overdraft facility. The facility limit was $0.5 million and $0.5 million at October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. At October 31, 2013, none of this facility was utilized. Asian Pacific Credit Facilities The Company maintained Yen-denominated credit facilities in Japan supported by continuing and unconditional guarantees. The aggregate facility limit was $73.9 million and $31.3 million at October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company will pay all forms of indebtedness in Yen upon demand. Interest expense is calculated on the outstanding balance based on the base rate or TIBOR plus a fixed spread. At October 31, 2013, $39.4 million of the combined facilities was utilized. The weighted average interest rate on the outstanding balances was 0.6%. The Company maintains credit facilities for certain of our Asia Pacific subsidiaries. Each facility is supported by a continuing and unconditional guaranty. The aggregate facility limit was $12.2 million and $12.5 million at October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company will pay all forms of indebtedness, for each facility, in the currency in which it is denominated for those certain subsidiaries. Interest expense is calculated on all outstanding balances based on an applicable base rate for each country plus a fixed spread common across all subsidiaries covered under each guaranty. At October 31, 2013, $1.9 million of the facility was utilized. The weighted average interest rate on the outstanding balances was 5.7%. Letters of Credit The Company maintains letters of credit throughout the world with various financial institutions that primarily serve as guarantee notes on debt obligations. The aggregate outstanding amount of letters of credit at October 31, 2013 was $3.0 million.
