(Gain) Loss on Debt Extinguishment

Senior Subordinated Notes. In the three months ended March 31, 2016, we repurchased and permanently retired $4,230 aggregate principal amount of 7.75% senior subordinated notes due February 2019 (“2019 Notes”) at a repurchase price of $96.75 in order to maximize interest savings by paying down our most expensive debt. As a result of the repurchase, we recorded a gain on debt extinguishment of $48 in the three months ended March 31, 2016 related to the non-cash gain associated with the below par repurchase price, net of the write off of debt issuance costs and unamortized original issue discount in proportion with the settlement amount.

Senior Credit Facility. In the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recorded a charge of $521 as a loss on debt extinguishment related to the write-off of debt issuance costs in connection with changes to the borrowing capacity from the senior revolving credit and letter of credit facility that was due March 2016 (“Senior Credit Facility”) to the new senior secured asset-based revolving credit and letter of credit facility due February 2020 (“ABL Facility”). The remaining unamortized deferred financing costs of the Senior Credit Facility, along with fees paid to the creditor and third-party costs incurred for the ABL Facility, are to be amortized over the term of the ABL Facility.
