  (1)  LIBOR is London Interbank Offered Rate.
  (2)  In April 2016, the maturity date of these revolving borrowings were extended to mature in May 2016.

Under the long-term borrowing contract of a subsidiary, the loan is secured by certain property, plant and equipment. The carrying amount of assets secured and pledged as collateral to such loan as of March 25, 2016 and June 26, 2015 was $48.2 million and $50.0 million, respectively. This subsidiary is also required to comply with maximum ratios of debt to equity and minimum levels of debt service coverage ratios, and Fabrinet must maintain an effective shareholding ratio. The carrying amounts of bank borrowings approximate their fair value.

As of March 25, 2016 and June 26, 2015, the Company was in compliance with its long-term bank borrowing agreement. In addition to financial ratios, certain of the Company’s credit facilities include customary events of default.

The movements of long-term loans were as follows for the nine months ended March 25, 2016 and March 27, 2015:

Credit facilities:

Fabrinet entered into a syndicated senior credit facility agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) with a consortium of banks on May 22, 2014. The Facility Agreement, led by Bank of America, provides for a $200.0 million credit line, comprised of a $150.0 million revolving loan facility and a $50.0 million delayed draw term loan facility. The revolving loan facility contains an accordion feature permitting Fabrinet to request an increase in the facility up to $100.0 million subject to customary terms and conditions and provided that no default or event of default exists at the time of request. The revolving loan facility terminates and all amounts outstanding are due and payable in full on May 22, 2019. The principal amount of any drawn term loans must be repaid according to scheduled quarterly amortization payments, with final payment of all amounts outstanding, plus accrued interest, being due May 22, 2019.

On February 26, 2015, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Facility Agreement. The amendment extended the availability period for draws on the term loan facility from May 21, 2015 to July 31, 2015. It also allowed the Company, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, to designate from time to time one or more of its subsidiaries as borrowers under the Facility Agreement. On July 31, 2015, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to the Facility Agreement. The amendment extended the availability period for draws on the term loan facility from July 31, 2015 to July 31, 2016. As of March 25, 2016, the outstanding revolving borrowing under the Facility Agreement was $44.0 million, resulting in available credit facilities of $156.0 million. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are classified as current liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as the Company has the periodic option to renew or pay, all or a portion of, the outstanding balance at the end of the maturity date, which is in the range of one to six months, without premium or penalty, upon notice to the administrative agent. During April 2016, the Company sent notices to the bank to renew the maturity date of its revolving borrowings. The bank approved the notices and extended the maturity to May 2016.

Loans under the Facility Agreement bear interest, at Fabrinet’s option, at a rate per annum equal to a LIBOR rate plus a spread of 1.75% to 2.50%, or a base rate plus a spread of 0.75% to 1.50%, determined in accordance with the Facility Agreement in each case with such spread determined based on Fabrinet’s consolidated total leverage ratio for the preceding four fiscal quarter period. Interest is due and payable quarterly in arrears for loans bearing interest at the base rate and at the end of an interest period (or at each three-month interval in the case of loans with interest periods greater than three months) in the case of loans bearing interest at the LIBOR rate.

Fabrinet’s obligations under the Facility Agreement are guaranteed by certain of its existing and future direct material subsidiaries. In addition, the Facility Agreement is secured by Fabrinet’s present and future accounts receivable, deposit accounts and cash, and a pledge of the capital stock of certain of Fabrinet’s direct subsidiaries. Fabrinet is required to maintain at least $40.0 million of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities at financial institutions located in the United States. Further, Fabrinet is required to maintain any of its deposits accounts or securities accounts with balances in excess of $10.0 million in a jurisdiction where a control agreement, or the equivalent under the local law, can be effected.

The Facility Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants. Negative covenants include, among other things, limitations on liens, indebtedness, investments, mergers, sales of assets, changes in the nature of the business, dividends and distributions, affiliate transactions and capital expenditures. The Facility Agreement contains financial covenants requiring Fabrinet to maintain: (i) a minimum tangible net worth of not less than $200.0 million plus 50% of quarterly net income, exclusive of quarterly losses; (ii) a minimum debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.50:1.00; (iii) a maximum senior leverage ratio of not more than 2.50:1.00; and (iv) a minimum quick ratio of not less than 1.10:1.00. Each of these financial covenants is calculated on a consolidated basis for the consecutive four fiscal quarter period then ended. As of March 25, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Facility Agreement.

The Facility Agreement also contains customary events of default including, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of covenants or representations and warranties, cross-defaults with certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events and change in control of Fabrinet, subject to grace periods in certain instances. Upon an event of default, the lenders may terminate their commitments, declare all or a portion of the outstanding obligations payable by Fabrinet to be immediately due and payable and exercise other rights and remedies provided for under the Facility Agreement.

Fabrinet intends to use the proceeds of the credit line to finance its future manufacturing buildings in the United States and Thailand, and for general corporate purposes including mergers and acquisitions of complementary manufacturing businesses or technology, although Fabrinet has no current commitments with respect to any such acquisitions.
