Our revolving credit facility has a $15.3 million aggregate principal amount outstanding as of December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under our Refinance Agreement, as amended by the 2014 Amendment, and the Second Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement. Financing activity in 2014: The following describes our 2014 financing activities: 2014 Amendment to the Refinance Agreement and Second Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement: On March 25, 2014, Radnet Management simultaneously entered into two agreements which resulted in the creation of a direct financial obligation as follows: 2014 Amendment of the Refinance Agreement. Radnet Management amended that certain Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated October 10, 2012, by that certain first amendment dated April 3, 2013 (the “2013 Amendment”) (collectively, the “Refinance Agreement”), and subsequently by entering into a second amendment to the Refinance Agreement (the “2014 Amendment”) to provide for, among other things, the borrowing by Radnet Management of $30.0 million of additional first lien term loans (the “2014 First Lien Term Loans”). Second Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement. Radnet Management entered into a Second Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated March 25, 2014 (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”) to provide for, among other things, the borrowing by Radnet Management of $180.0 million of second lien term loans (the “Second Lien Term Loans”). The proceeds from the Second Lien Term Loans and the 2014 First Lien Term Loans were used to redeem the senior notes, as more fully described below under the heading “Senior Notes”, to pay the expenses related to the transaction and for general corporate purposes. Revolving Credit Facility. The $101.25 million revolving credit line established in the Refinance Agreement was unaltered by the agreements above and remains in place. The termination date for the $101.25 million revolving credit facility is the earliest to occur of (i) October 10, 2017, (ii) the date the revolving credit facility is permanently reduced to zero pursuant to section 2.13(b) of the Refinance Agreement, which address voluntary commitment reductions and (iii) the date of the termination of the revolving credit facility due to specific events of default pursuant to section 8.01 of the Refinance Agreement. The revolver bears interest based on types of borrowings as follows: (i) unpaid principal at 6.5% per annum, (ii) letter of credit and fronting fees at 4.5% per annum, and (iii) commitment fee of 0.5% per annum on the unused revolver balance. The 2014 Amendment provides for the following: Interest. The interest rates payable on the 2014 First Lien Term Loans are the same as the rates currently payable under the Refinance Agreement, as amended by the 2013 Amendment, which are (a) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Refinance Agreement) plus 3.25% or (b) the Base Rate (as defined in the Refinance Agreement) plus 2.25%. With respect to all of the term loans under the Refinance Agreement, as amended by the 2014 Amendment, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate has a minimum floor of 1.0%. The Adjusted Eurodollar Rate at December 31, 2014 was 0.36%. Payments. The scheduled amortization of the term loans under the Refinance Agreement, as amended by the 2014 Amendment, has been increased, starting in June 2014 from quarterly payments of $975,000 to quarterly payments of approximately $5.2 million, with the remaining balance to be paid at maturity. Scheduled amortization increased by $16.8 million from pre-amendment terms, representing a rise from 1% per annum to 5% per annum of the initial amount borrowed. Guarantees and Collateral. The obligations under the Refinance Agreement, as amended by the 2014 Amendment, are guaranteed by RadNet, Inc., all of our current and future domestic subsidiaries and certain of our affiliates (other than certain excluded foreign subsidiaries). The obligations under the Refinance Agreement, as amended by the 2014 Amendment, and the guarantees are secured by a perfected first priority security interest (subject to certain permitted exceptions) in substantially all of Radnet Management’s and the guarantors’ tangible and intangible assets, including, but not limited to, pledges of equity interests of Radnet Management and all of our current and future domestic subsidiaries. Restrictive Covenants. In addition to certain covenants, the Refinance Agreement, as amended by the 2014 Amendment, places limits on our ability to declare dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock, prepay, redeem or purchase debt, incur liens and engage in sale-leaseback transactions, make loans and investments, incur additional indebtedness, amend or otherwise alter debt and other material agreements, engage in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales, enter into transactions with affiliates and alter the business we and our subsidiaries currently conduct. Financial Covenants. The Refinance Agreement, as amended by the 2014 Amendment contains financial covenants including a maximum total leverage ratio and a limit on annual capital expenditures. Events of Default. In addition to certain customary events of default, events of default under the Refinance Agreement, as amended by the 2014 Amendment, include failure to pay principal of any loans as and on the date when due, failure to pay any interest on any loan or any fee or other amount payable under the Refinance Agreement, as amended by the 2014 Amendment, within five days after the due date, failure of any loan party to comply with any covenant or agreement in the loan documents (subject to applicable grace periods and/or notice requirement), a representation or warranty contained in the loan documents is false in a material respect, events of bankruptcy and a change of control. The occurrence of an event of default could permit the lenders under the Refinance Agreement, as amended by the 2014 Amendment, to declare all amounts borrowed, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable and to exercise other default remedies. The Second Lien Credit Agreement provides for the following: Interest. The interest rates payable on the Second Lien Term Loans are (a) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Second Lien Credit Agreement) plus 7.0% or (b) the Base Rate (as defined in the Second Lien Credit Agreement) plus 6.0%. The Adjusted Eurodollar Rate has a minimum floor of 1.0% on the Second Lien Term Loans. The Eurodollar Rate at December 31, 2014 was 0.36%. The rate paid on the Second Lien Credit Agreement at December 31, 2014 is 8%. Payments. There is no scheduled amortization of the principal of the Second Lien Term Loans. Unless otherwise prepaid as a result of the occurrence of certain mandatory prepayment events, all principal will be due and payable on the termination date described below. Termination. The maturity date for the Second Lien Term Loans is the earlier to occur of (i) March 25, 2021, and (ii) the date on which the Second Lien Term Loans shall otherwise become due and payable in full under the Second Lien Credit Agreement, whether by voluntary prepayment per section 2.13 (a) or events of default per section 8.01 as described below. Restrictive Covenants. In addition to certain covenants, the Second Lien Credit Agreement places limits on our ability declare dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock, prepay, redeem or purchase debt, incur liens and engage in sale-leaseback transaction, make loans and investments, incur additional indebtedness, amend or otherwise alter debt and other material agreements, engage in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales, enter into transactions with affiliates and alter the business we and our subsidiaries currently conduct. Events of Default. In addition to certain events of default, events of default under the Second Lien Credit Agreement include failure to pay principal of any loans as and on the date when due, failure to pay any interest on any loan or any fee or other amount payable under the Second Lien Term Loans within five days after the due date, failure of any loan party to comply with any covenant or agreements in the loan documents (subject to applicable grace periods and/or notice requirements), a representation or warranty contained in the loan documents is false in a material respect, events of bankruptcy and a change of control. The occurrence of an event of default could permit the lenders under the Second Lien Credit Agreement to declare all amounts borrowed, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable and to exercise other default remedies. Senior Notes On April 6, 2010, we issued and sold $200 million of 10 3/8% senior unsecured notes due 2018 at a price of 98.680% (the “senior notes”). All payments of the senior notes, including principal and interest, were guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior unsecured basis by RadNet, Inc., and all of Radnet Management’s current and future domestic wholly owned restricted subsidiaries. The senior notes were issued under an indenture dated April 6, 2010 (the “Indenture”), by and among Radnet Management, Inc., as issuer, RadNet, Inc., as parent guarantor, the subsidiary guarantors thereof and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.” We paid interest on the senior notes on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing October 1, 2010, and they were scheduled to expire on April 1, 2018. We completed the retirement of our $200 million in senior notes on April 24, 2014 and following such retirement the Company completed the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. The transactions leading to the retirement of the Senior Notes are described below: Tender Offer and Exercise of Optional Redemption on March 7, 2014. On March 7, 2014, we commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash any and all outstanding senior notes. In connection with the tender offer, we also commenced a consent solicitation to amend the Indenture to eliminate or modify certain restrictive covenants. On March 25, 2014, we made a payment in cash for all senior notes tendered prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on March 20, 2014 (the “Consent Payment Deadline”). As of the Consent Payment Deadline, we received tenders and consents in respect of $193,464,000 aggregate principal amount of the senior notes, representing 96.73% of the outstanding senior notes, all of which were accepted for purchase. The total consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of senior notes validly tendered and not withdrawn at or prior to the Consent Payment Deadline and accepted for purchase was $1,056.88, which amount included a consent payment (the “Consent Payment”) of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of senior notes. In addition, all senior notes accepted for payment received accrued and unpaid interest in respect of such notes from the last interest payment date prior to the applicable settlement date to, but not including, the applicable settlement date. The tender offer expired on April 3, 2014 and between the Consent Payment Deadline and the expiration of the tender offer, no additional senior notes were tendered. With a net carrying amount including discount and unamortized issue costs of $189.2 million, a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $15.5 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2014. Tender Offer and Exercise on Optional Redemption of March 25, 2014. On March 25, 2014, we called for redemption all of our remaining outstanding senior notes not purchased prior to the expiration of the tender offer described above, with a redemption date of April 24, 2014 (the “Redemption Date”). Upon redemption on April 24, 2014, the holders of the senior notes being redeemed received a redemption price equal to 105.188% of the outstanding principal amount of the senior notes being redeemed (or $1,051.88 per $1,000 in principal amount of the senior notes) in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, or approximately $6.9 million in total, including approximately $43,000 of accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding the Redemption Date. As of that date, we completed the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture in accordance with its terms and no senior notes remained outstanding. With a net carrying amount including discount and unamortized issue costs of $6.4 million, a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $471,000 was recorded in the second quarter of 2014. Prior financing activity to 2014: The following describes our key financing activities prior to 2014: 2010 Credit Agreements On April 6, 2010, we entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement with a syndicate of lenders (the “Credit Agreement”), whereby we obtained $385.0 million in senior secured first-lien bank financing, consisting of (i) a $285.0 million, six-year term loan facility and (ii) a $100.0 million, five-year revolving credit facility, including a swing line subfacility and a letter of credit subfacility (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”). 2012 Refinancing On October 10, 2012 we completed the refinancing of the Credit Facilities by entering into a new Credit and Guaranty Agreement with a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions (the “Refinance Agreement”). The total amount of refinancing was $451.25 million, consisting of (i) a $350 million senior secured term loan and (ii) a $101.25 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The obligations under the Refinance Agreement were guaranteed by RadNet, Inc. and all of Radnet Management’s current and future domestic subsidiaries and certain of our affiliates. The obligations under the Refinance Agreement, including the guarantees, were secured by a perfected first-priority security interest in all of our tangible and intangible assets, including, but not limited to, pledges of equity interests of Radnet Management and all of our current and future domestic subsidiaries. We used the net proceeds to repay in full our existing six year term loan facility for $277.9 million in principal amount outstanding, which would have matured on April 6, 2016, and our revolving credit facility for $59.8 million in principal amount outstanding, which would have matured on April 6, 2015. 2013 Amendment to the Refinance Agreement On April 3, 2013, we entered into a first amendment to the Refinance Agreement. Pursuant to this amendment, we re-priced the balance of our term loan of $348.3 million and borrowed an additional $40.0 million for a new senior secured term loan total of $388.3 million. The proceeds from the amendment were used to: (i) repay in full all existing Term Loans under the Refinance Agreement; (ii) repay outstanding revolving loans; (iii) repay premium, fees and expenses incurred; and (iv) general corporate purposes.
