4. Debt

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $44.0 million, $547.9 million and $300.0 million outstanding under its Revolving Credit Facility, Term Credit Facility and Senior Notes, respectively, with up to $206.0 million of unused borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility portion of the Credit Agreement, as amended. The amount of unused borrowings actually available varies in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Credit Agreement

The Company entered into the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), as amended, with a syndicate of financial institutions, as lenders, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as Administrative Agent, providing for revolving loans, swingline loans, letters of credit and a term loan on November 10, 2011. The Credit Agreement consists of a five-year $250 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which includes a sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a sublimit for swingline loans, and a five-year $500 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Credit Facility” and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Agreement also allows the Company to request optional incremental term loans and increases in the revolving commitment.

On August 20, 2013, upon the consummation of the offering of the 6.375% Senior Notes due in 2020 (the “Senior Notes”), the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement originally entered into on November 10, 2011, became effective. The Fourth Amendment, among other things, extended the maturity date of the loans under the credit facility to August 20, 2018, and increased the amount the Company may request for optional incremental term loans and/or increases in the revolving commitment from $200 million to $300 million. The Fourth Amendment does not impact the interest rate schedule previously applied to the Credit Agreement.

On August 12, 2014, the Company borrowed an additional $150 million under the Term Credit Facility. These additional borrowings were used in connection with the ReD acquisition that was completed on August 12, 2014.

On August 12, 2014, the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement became effective. The Fifth Amendment, among other things, permitted the acquisition of ReD, increased the aggregate amount of permitted intercompany indebtedness between the Company and its subsidiaries that are guarantors under the credit facility and subsidiaries of the Company that are not guarantors under the credit facility from $75 million to $225 million and increased the amount of unsecured indebtedness permitted under the credit facility from $350 million to $500 million, in each case subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended. The Fifth Amendment also amends the Collateral Agreement dated November 10, 2011 (as amended prior to August 12, 2014) among the Company, OPAY, the other grantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, to release the administrative agent’s security interest in, and lien on, certain property of OPAY.

In connection with obtaining the credit agreement and its amendments, the Company incurred debt issue costs of $28.6 million, $12.8 million of which were paid prior to December 31, 2012, $11.3 million were paid in 2013, and $4.5 million were paid in 2014. All debt issuance costs incurred have been paid as of December 31, 2014.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the rate of interest per annum publicly announced by the Administrative Agent as its Prime Rate, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (3) a LIBOR based rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for a one-month interest period adjusted for certain additional costs plus 1% or (b) a LIBOR based rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is, based on the calculation of the applicable consolidated total leverage ratio, between 0.50% to 1.50% with respect to base rate borrowings and between 1.50% and 2.50% with respect to LIBOR based borrowings. Interest is due and payable monthly. The interest rate in effect at December 31, 2014 for the Credit Facility was 2.67%.

In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal under the Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee in respect of the unutilized commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, payable quarterly in arrears. The Company is also required to pay letter of credit fees on the maximum amount available to be drawn under all outstanding letters of credit in an amount equal to the applicable margin on LIBOR based borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility on a per annum basis, payable quarterly in arrears, as well as customary fronting fees for the issuance of letters of credit fees and agency fees.

The Company is permitted to voluntarily reduce the unutilized portion of the commitment amount and repay outstanding loans under the Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR based loans.

Senior Notes

On August 20, 2013, the Company completed a $300 million offering of Senior Notes at an issue price of 100% of the principal amount in a private placement for resale to qualified institutional buyers. The Senior Notes bear an interest rate of 6.375% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on August 15 and February 15 of each year, commencing on February 15, 2014. Interest began accruing beginning August 20, 2013. The Senior Notes will mature on August 20, 2020. In connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes the Company incurred debt issue costs of $6.1 million. The Company paid $0.2 million and $5.9 million of these debt issuance costs during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Credit Agreement and Senior Notes also contain certain customary mandatory prepayment provisions. If certain events, as specified in the Credit Agreement or Senior Notes agreement, shall occur, the Company may be required to repay all or a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility or Senior Notes.

The Credit Facility will mature on August 20, 2018 and the Senior Notes will mature on August 20, 2020. The Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Notes will not amortize and the Term Credit Facility will amortize, with principal payable in consecutive quarterly installments.

The Company’s obligations and the obligations of the guarantors under the Guaranty and cash management arrangements entered into with lenders under the Credit Facility (or affiliates thereof) are secured by first-priority security interests in substantially all assets of the Company and any guarantor, including 100% of the capital stock of ACI Corporation and each domestic subsidiary of the Company, each domestic subsidiary of any guarantor and 65% of the voting capital stock of each foreign subsidiary of the Company that is directly owned by the Company or a guarantor, and in each case, is subject to certain exclusions set forth in the credit documentation governing the Credit Facility.

The Credit Agreement and Senior Notes contain certain customary affirmative covenants and negative covenants that limit or restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the incurrence of liens, indebtedness of subsidiaries, dividends and other restricted payments, mergers, advances, investments, acquisitions, transactions with affiliates, change in nature of business and the sale of the assets. The Company is also required to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio at or below a specified amount and a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio at or above a specified amount. If an event of default, as specified in the Credit Agreement and Senior Notes agreement, shall occur and be continuing, the Company may be required to repay all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility and Senior Notes. As of December 31, 2014, and at all times during the period, the Company was in compliance with its financial debt covenants.
