9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2021

In August 2018, the Company amended its 2015 credit facility (“the 2015 Facility”), which was comprised of an $800,000 term loan and a $350,000 revolving credit facility. The amended facility is comprised of a $680,000 term loan, which represents the outstanding balance under the 2015 Facility as of the date of amendment, and a $500,000 revolving credit facility. The amended facility expires on August 8, 2023. The amendment did not result in a substantial modification of $550,814 of the outstanding term loan under the 2015 Facility. Further, as a result of the amendment, the Company extinguished the outstanding term loan under the 2015 Facility of $129,186 and obtained additional funding of $129,186, resulting in no change to the outstanding principal of the term loan under the amended facility. In connection with the amendment, the Company expensed $2,029, representing partial acceleration of the amortization of the existing unamortized debt issuance costs and an additional fee paid to the Company’s lenders related to the term loan. The overall borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility increased from $350,000 to $500,000. The amendment of the revolving credit facility resulted in accelerated amortization of $82 relating to existing unamortized debt issuance cost. The remaining unamortized costs and an additional third-party fee paid in connection with the amendment will be amortized over the term of the amended facility, which will expire on August 8, 2023.

Borrowings under the amended credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at the election of the Company, either LIBOR plus an applicable margin equal to 1.375% per annum, compared to a margin of 1.50% under the 2015 Facility, or a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 0.375% per annum, compared to a margin of 0.50% under the 2015 Facility, in each case subject to adjustment based on the Company’s debt ratings provided by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. Based on the Company’s election and current credit rating, the applicable interest rate is equal to LIBOR plus 1.375% per annum. The amended credit agreement restricts certain payments, including dividend payments, if there is an event of default under the credit agreement or if the Company is not, or after making the payment would not be, in compliance with certain financial covenants contained in the amended credit agreement.

The Company’s retained earnings are not subject to any restrictions on availability to make dividend payments to shareholders, subject to compliance with the financial covenants described above that are contained in the amended credit agreement.
