On June 2, 2014, the Company repaid the remaining $397.5 million outstanding of the 4.25% Convertible Senior Notes (Convertible Notes). Holders of the Convertible Notes had the option to convert their notes into shares of ATI common stock at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the June 1, 2014 maturity date. Prior to the maturity date, $5.0 million of the Convertible Notes were converted into 120,476 shares of ATI common stock. The conversion rate for the Convertible Notes was 23.9263 shares of ATI common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $41.795 per share. Other than receiving cash in lieu of fractional shares, holders did not have the option to receive cash instead of shares of common stock upon conversion.
There were no outstanding borrowings made under the Company’s $400 million senior unsecured domestic credit facility ("credit facility") expiring May 31, 2018 as of September 30, 2014, although approximately $5.1 million has been utilized to support the issuance of letters of credit. The credit facility requires the Company to maintain a leverage ratio (consolidated total indebtedness net of cash on hand in excess of $50 million, divided by consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash pension expense for the four prior fiscal quarters) of not greater than 4.0. The credit facility also requires the Company to maintain an interest coverage ratio (consolidated earnings before interest, taxes and non-cash pension expense divided by interest expense) of not less than 2.0. At September 30, 2014, the leverage ratio was 2.13 and the interest coverage ratio was 4.62. The Company was in compliance with these required ratios during all applicable periods.
In October 2014, the Company amended the credit facility to modify the maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio permitted under the credit facility and to revise the calculation definitions for these two ratios. In addition, the Company amended the credit facility to provide for a springing lien on certain of the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory. This springing lien would become effective in the future if the Company’s credit ratings from both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s are below investment grade, and would be subsequently released if the Company’s credit rating returns to investment grade from either rating agency, assuming no event of default condition existed. As amended, the credit facility requires the Company to maintain a leverage ratio (measured as consolidated total indebtedness net of cash on hand in excess of $50 million, divided by consolidated EBITDA, defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash pension expense, with the definition of consolidated EBIT excluding any gain or loss attributable to sale or other dispositions of assets outside the ordinary course of business, for the four prior fiscal quarters) of not greater than 5.75 for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, 5.00 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, 4.50 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, 3.75 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, and 3.50 for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 and for each fiscal quarter thereafter. The credit facility, as amended, also requires the Company to maintain an interest coverage ratio (consolidated EBITDA as calculated for the leverage ratio, divided by interest expense) of not less than 2.0 for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, 2.50 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, 3.00 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, 3.25 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, and 3.50 for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 and for each fiscal quarter thereafter.  
The Company has an additional separate credit facility for the issuance of letters of credit. As of September 30, 2014, $32 million in letters of credit were outstanding under this facility.
In addition, Shanghai STAL Precision Stainless Steel Company Limited (STAL), the Company’s Chinese joint venture company in which ATI has a 60% interest, had a 205 million renminbi (approximately $33 million at September 30, 2014 exchange rates) revolving credit facility with a group of banks, which expired on August 8, 2014. Replacement of the credit facility is currently under management review.
The ATI Ladish Series B and Series C Notes are guaranteed by ATI and are equally ranked with all of ATI’s existing and future senior unsecured debt.
