WTM Bank Facility On August 14, 2013, White Mountains entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of lenders administered by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. which has a total commitment of $425.0 million (the “WTM Bank Facility”) and has a maturity date of August 14, 2018 (the “WTM Bank Facility”). The WTM Bank Facility replaced White Mountains’s previous revolving credit facility, which had a total commitment of $375.0 million (the “Previous WTM Bank Facility”). During 2015, White Mountains borrowed a total of $125.0 million and repaid a total of $75.0 million under the WTM Bank Facility at a blended interest rate of 3.74%. During 2014, White Mountains borrowed and repaid a total of $65.0 million under the WTM Bank Facility at a blended interest rate of 3.65%. As of December 31, 2015, the WTM Bank Facility had an outstanding balance of $50.0 million. White Mountains recorded $0.1 million, $0.3 million, $0.3 million of interest expense on the WTM Bank Facility for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. The WTM Bank Facility contains various affirmative, negative and financial covenants that White Mountains considers to be customary for such borrowings, including certain minimum net worth and maximum debt to capitalization standards. These covenants can restrict White Mountains in several ways, including its ability to incur additional indebtedness. OBH Senior Notes In November 2012, OneBeacon U.S. Holdings, Inc. (“OBH”), an intermediate holding company of OneBeacon, issued $275.0 million face value of senior unsecured notes (“OBH Senior Notes”) through a public offering, at an issue price of 99.9% and received $272.9 million of proceeds. The OBH Senior Notes bear an annual interest rate of 4.6% payable semi-annually in arrears on May 9 and November 9, until maturity on November 9, 2022, and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to the payment of principal and interest by OneBeacon Ltd. OBH incurred $2.8 million in expenses related to the issuance of the OBH Senior Notes (including $1.8 million in underwriting fees), which have been deferred and are being recognized as interest expense over the life of the OBH Senior Notes. Taking into effect the amortization of the original issue discount and all underwriting and issuance expenses, the OBH Senior Notes have an effective yield to maturity of approximately 4.7% per annum. In December 2012, the proceeds from the OBH Senior Notes were utilized to repurchase the remaining $269.8 million of outstanding senior notes issued in 2003 by OBH with an annual interest rate of 5.875% for $275.9 million. The repurchase resulted in a $6.3 million loss, including transaction fees and the write-off of the remaining $0.2 million in unamortized deferred costs and original issue discount at the time of repurchase. OBH recorded $13.0 million in interest expense on the OBH Senior Notes for each of the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. The OBH Senior Notes were issued under indentures that contain restrictive covenants which, among other things, limit the ability of OneBeacon Ltd., OBH, and their respective subsidiaries to create liens and enter into sale and leaseback transactions and limits the ability of OneBeacon to consolidate, merge or transfer their properties and assets. The indentures do not contain any financial ratios or specified levels of net worth or liquidity to which OneBeacon Ltd. or OBH must adhere. OneBeacon Bank Facility On September 29, 2015, OneBeacon Ltd. and OBH, as co-borrowers and co-guarantors, entered into a revolving credit facility administered by U.S. Bank N.A. and also including BMO Harris Bank N.A., which has a total commitment of $65.0 million and has a maturity date of September 29, 2019 (the “OneBeacon Bank Facility”). As of December 31, 2015, the OneBeacon Bank Facility was undrawn. The OneBeacon Bank Facility contains various affirmative, negative and financial covenants which White Mountains considers to be customary for such borrowings, including certain minimum net worth and maximum debt to capitalization standards. These covenants can restrict White Mountains in several ways, including its ability to incur additional indebtedness. Tranzact Bank Facility On October 10, 2014, Tranzact entered into a secured credit facility with a syndicate of lenders administered by The PrivateBank and Trust Company (the “Tranzact Bank Facility”). The term of the credit facility ends on October 10, 2019. During 2015, Tranzact amended the Tranzact Bank Facility, which now has a total commitment of $116.0 million, consisting of a $101.0 million term loan facility and a $15.0 million revolving facility. The amendment increased the term loan facility by $31.0 million, the proceeds of which were used by Tranzact to finance the acquisition of TruBridge. During 2015, Tranzact borrowed $24.0 million and repaid $13.0 million under the revolving facility. Also during 2015, Tranzact repaid a total of $6.5 million under the term loan portion. As of December 31, 2015, the total amount outstanding under the Tranzact Bank Facility was $104.7 million. Tranzact has entered into an interest rate swap agreement to effectively fix the rate it pays on $70.0 million of the $101.0 million term loan. (See Note 9 - “Derivatives“) White Mountains recorded $4.0 million and $0.7 million of interest expense on the Tranzact Bank Facility for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. The Tranzact Bank Facility carries a variable interest rate, at a margin over the U.S. dollar LIBOR rate. The margin over LIBOR may vary between 2.5% to 4.5%. At December 31, 2015, the variable interest rate on the debt was 4.7%, including a margin over LIBOR of 4.5%. The Tranzact Bank Facility, which is secured by the intellectual property and the common stock of Tranzact’s subsidiaries, contains various affirmative, negative and financial covenants which White Mountains considers to be customary for such borrowings, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. Failure to meet one or more of these covenants could result in an event of default, which ultimately could eliminate availability under these facilities and result in acceleration of principal repayment on any amounts outstanding. MediaAlpha Bank Facility On July 23, 2015, MediaAlpha entered into a credit facility with Opus Bank, which has a total commitment of $20.0 million and has a maturity date of July 23, 2019 (the “MediaAlpha Bank Facility”). The MediaAlpha Bank Facility consists of a $15.0 million term loan facility, which was fully drawn as of December 31, 2015, and a revolving credit facility for an additional $5.0 million, which was undrawn as of December 31, 2015. The MediaAlpha Bank Facility carries a variable interest rate that is based on the U.S. dollar LIBOR rate. The MediaAlpha Bank Facility is secured by the intellectual property and the common stock of MediaAlpha's subsidiaries, and contains various affirmative, negative and financial covenants that White Mountains considers to be customary for such borrowings, including a maximum leverage ratio. Failure to meet one or more of these covenants could result in an event of default, which ultimately could eliminate availability under these facilities and result in acceleration of principal repayment on any amounts outstanding. Debt Covenants As of December 31, 2015, White Mountains was in compliance with all of the covenants under all of its debt facilities. Interest Total interest expense incurred by White Mountains for its indebtedness was $18.6 million, $15.6 million and $16.2 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013. Total interest paid by White Mountains for its indebtedness was $17.6 million, $15.6 million, and $16.2 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013.
