In March 2012, Rayonier Inc. issued $325 million of 3.75% Senior Notes due 2022. Approximately $150 million of the proceeds from these notes were used to repay borrowings outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility. The Company had $431 million of available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility at September 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2012, the $172.5 million 4.50% Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2015 became exchangeable at the option of the holders for the calendar quarter ending December 31, 2012. Per the indenture, in order for the notes to become exchangeable, the Company's stock price must exceed 130 percent of the exchange price for 20 trading days during a period of 30 consecutive trading days as of the last day of the quarter. Of the $172.5 million principal, $131.2 million remained classified as long-term debt due to the ability and intent of the Company to refinance it on a long-term basis. An asset sales covenant in the Rayonier Forest Resources, L.P. ("RFR") $112.5 million installment note agreement requires the Company, subject to certain exceptions, to either reinvest cumulative timberland sale proceeds for individual sales greater than $10 million (the "excess proceeds") in timberland-related investments or, once the amount of excess proceeds not reinvested exceeds $50 million, to offer the note holders prepayment of the notes ratably in the amount of the excess proceeds. During April 2012, the excess proceeds exceeded the $50 million limit and as a result, repayment of $59.9 million was offered to the note holders through May 15, 2012, at which time they declined and the excess proceeds were reset to zero. There were no other significant changes to the Company's outstanding debt as reported in Note 11 — Debt of the Company's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Subsequent Events In October 2012, the Company negotiated amendments to the existing revolving credit facility. The amended and restated facility provides for improved pricing, with the borrowing rate decreasing from LIBOR plus 105 basis points to LIBOR plus 97.5 basis points. The facility fee decreased 5 points from 20 basis points to 15 basis points. The revised agreement also provides additional borrowing capacity through revision of the leverage ratio to permit debt of Rayonier Inc. and its subsidiaries up to 65 percent of consolidated net worth, plus the amount of consolidated debt. Previously, debt was limited to four times EBITDA. In addition, the Company can now transfer assets to any subsidiary, and any subsidiary can now transfer assets to other subsidiaries or to the Company. An additional covenant was added to limit debt at subsidiaries (excluding Rayonier Operating Company LLC and TRS, which are borrowers under the agreement) to 15 percent of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. Also, the amended and restated credit agreement removed RFR as a borrower, but also eliminated specific negative covenants relating to RFR under this facility. The agreement also eliminated all requirements for subsidiary guarantors, other than cross-guarantees of the borrowers. As a result, these guarantors were also released from the 3.75% Senior Notes due 2022 issued by Rayonier Inc., leaving TRS and Rayonier Operating Company LLC as the remaining guarantors. The 3.75% Senior Exchangeable Notes due 2012 (the "Notes") matured in October 2012 and the outstanding principal balance of $300 million was paid in cash, financed through borrowings on the Company's revolving credit facility. The exchangeable note hedges also matured and the associated shares were used to pay the excess exchange value of 2,221,056 shares of Rayonier stock. As a result, there was no impact on the number of shares outstanding. The available borrowing capacity under the credit facility immediately after repayment of the Notes was $131 million. The Company expects to refinance this $300 million borrowing on a long-term basis prior to year-end. Warrants sold in conjunction with the issuance of the Notes and hedges remain outstanding and have maturity dates in first quarter 2013. The Company expects to settle the warrants in shares. For information regarding the dilutive effect of the assumed conversion of the warrants, refer to Note 2 — Earnings per Share. See Note 11 — Debt of the Company's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on the Notes, hedges and warrants.
