Senior Unsecured Notes

On March 24, 2014, the Company issued $200,000,000 of 6.75% senior notes due on April 1, 2021 (the “Notes”). Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis jointly and severally by all of the Company's existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the 2015 Credit Facility. The Notes permit the Company to make certain restricted payments, such as repurchasing shares of its stock and paying cash dividends, within certain parameters, the most restrictive of which generally limits such restricted payments to 50% of adjusted net income.

Revolving Credit Facilities

During the period from January 1, 2015 through October 29, 2015, the Company maintained a revolving line credit agreement with a group of U.S. based commercial lenders (the “2014 Credit Facility”) in the amount of $160,000,000, which was scheduled to mature in February 2019. The 2014 Credit Facility charged interest, at the Company’s option, at either (1) the prevailing London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (with interest periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months at the Company’s option) plus a fixed spread of 2.5% or (2) the prevailing prime or base rate plus a fixed spread of 1.5%.
On October 30, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement to amend and extend its existing bank credit facility (as amended, the “2015 Credit Facility”). The total lender commitment under the 2015 Credit Facility was increased from $160,000,000 to $210,000,000 and the number of participating lenders increased from four to five. Additionally, the term of the 2015 Credit Facility was extended through October 2020. At December 31, 2015, the Company had $58,000,000 outstanding under the 2015 Credit Facility and $152,000,000 was available for borrowings. The 2015 Credit Facility continues to bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either (i) the prevailing LIBOR (with interest periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months at the Company’s option) plus a fixed spread of 2.5% or (ii) the prevailing prime or base rate plus a fixed spread of 1.5%. The 2015 Credit Facility establishes a minimum LIBOR rate of 0%. The weighted-average interest rate on amounts outstanding under the 2015 Credit Facility at December 31, 2015 was 2.83% based on the prevailing 30-day LIBOR rate. The 2015 Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and comply with certain financial covenants and allows the Company to make certain restricted payments, such as repurchasing shares of its stock and paying cash dividends, within certain parameters, provided the Company maintains compliance with those financial ratios and covenants after giving effect to such restricted payments. The Company is required to pay an annual commitment fee of 0.50% on the average daily unused portion of the 2015 Credit Facility commitment. The 2015 Credit Facility limits the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, subject to customary exceptions, including permitted additional unsecured debt so long as the aggregate principal amount of the loans and commitments under the 2015 Credit Facility plus such additional unsecured debt plus foreign third-party loans does not in the aggregate exceed $500,000,000. The 2015 Credit Facility is unsecured except for the pledge of 65% of the voting equity interests of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, and the Company is restricted from pledging any of its other assets as collateral against other indebtedness. The 2015 Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company’s material U.S. operating subsidiaries. The 2015 Credit Facility was amended to reduce the threshold percentage of domestic operations represented by domestic guarantors from 90% to 85% of total domestic revenues and assets, and the Company added two additional domestic operating subsidiaries as guarantors of the 2015 Credit Facility. The 2015 Credit Facility was also amended to eliminate an adjustment for deferred tax effects from the fixed charge covenant calculation. The Company was in compliance with the requirements and covenants of the 2015 Credit Facility as of December 31, 2015. During fiscal 2015, the Company had net proceeds of $35,600,000 from borrowings pursuant to the 2015 Credit Facility.
On March 9, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with a bank in Mexico to establish a revolving credit facility (the “Mexico Credit Facility”) in the amount of $10,000,000. The Mexico Credit Facility bears interest at the prevailing 30-day LIBOR rate plus a fixed spread of 2.0% and matures in December 2017. Under the terms of the Mexico Credit Facility, the Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios and comply with certain financial covenants. The Company is required to pay a one-time commitment fee of $25,000 due when the first amount is drawn/borrowed. At December 31, 2015, the Company had no amount outstanding under the Mexico Credit Facility and $10,000,000 was available for borrowings.

Other Notes Payable

In March 2014, the Company used $7,541,000 of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes to repay the entire remaining balances on notes payable of $6,134,000 related to a September 2012 multi-store acquisition and a note payable of $1,407,000 related to a January 2012 multi-store acquisition.
