On July 2, 2013, the Company entered into an unsecured $200 million five-year revolving credit facility. The interest rate on borrowings under the credit facility is based on the Company's debt to total capital ratio and ranges from LIBOR plus 112.5 basis points when the ratio is under 15% to LIBOR plus 162.5 basis points when the ratio is above 25%. Commitment fees for the undrawn portions of the credit facility range from 12.5 basis points when the ratio is under 15% to 22.5 basis points when the ratio is above 25%. Debt to capital ratio is expressed as a percentage of (i) consolidated debt to (ii) consolidated shareholders' equity plus consolidated debt. Effective December 3, 2014, the Company extended the maturity date of the unsecured credit facility from June 30, 2018 to December 3, 2019, and expanded the borrowing capacity from $200 million to $250 million. In 2015 and 2014, the interest rate was LIBOR plus 112.5 basis points on the $150 million of borrowings and 12.5 basis points on the undrawn portion of the credit facility. The interest rate was approximately 1.53% at December 31, 2015.
 
The $120 million credit facility is secured by municipal bonds held as collateral. The collateral requirement is calculated as the fair market value of the municipal bonds held as collateral multiplied by the advance rates, which vary based on the credit quality and duration of the assets held and range between 75% and 100% of the fair value of each bond. Effective December 3, 2014, the Company extended the maturity date of the $120 million credit facility from July 31, 2016 to December 3, 2017.

On December 12, 2014, the Company extended the maturity date of the $20 million bank loan from January 2, 2015 to December 3, 2017. The $20 million bank loan has collateral requirements similar to those of the $120 million credit facility.

The credit facilities and bank loan contain financial covenants pertaining to minimum statutory surplus, debt to capital ratio, and risk-based capital ("RBC") ratio. The Company was in compliance with all of its loan covenants at December 31, 2015.
