Term Loan

The interest rate on the term loan due in 2021 (the “Term Loan”) was 3.00% per annum as of March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015, a discount of $1.7 million on the Term Loan remains unamortized. The discount is being amortized through Interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Senior Unsecured Notes

On February 3, 2015, we completed an exchange offer pursuant to which $550.0 million of the privately issued 5.250% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2022, $400.0 million of the privately issued 5.625% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2024, and $450.0 million of the privately issued 5.875% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2025, were exchanged for publicly registered senior unsecured notes having substantially identical terms.

As of March 31, 2015, a discount of $0.7 million on $150.0 million of the 5.250% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2022, remains unamortized. The discount is being amortized through Interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

On March 30, 2015, two of our wholly owned subsidiaries, Outfront Media Capital LLC (“Capital LLC”) and Outfront Media Capital Corporation (“Finance Corp,” and together with Capital LLC, the “Borrowers”), issued an additional $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2024 (the “New 2024 Senior Notes”) in a private placement. The New 2024 Senior Notes are of the same class and series as, and otherwise identical to, the 5.625% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2024 that were previously issued by the Borrowers on January 31, 2014. Interest on the New 2024 Senior Notes is payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on May 15, 2015 and deemed to have accrued from November 15, 2014. The New 2024 Senior Notes were issued at a premium of $3.8 million, which we will amortize through Interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations over the life of the New 2024 Senior Notes.

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement dated March 30, 2015, we and the Borrowers have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a registration statement to become effective with the SEC by March 30, 2016, related to an offer to exchange the New 2024 Senior Notes for registered New 2024 Senior Notes having substantially identical terms, or, in certain cases, to register the New 2024 Senior Notes for resale. If we and the Borrowers do not register or exchange the New 2024 Senior Notes pursuant to the terms of the registration right agreement, the Borrowers will be required to pay additional interest to the holders of the New 2024 Senior Notes under certain circumstances.

Revolving Credit Facility

We also have a $425.0 million revolving credit facility, which matures in 2019 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

As of March 31, 2015, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The commitment fee based on the amount of unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility was $0.4 million in each of the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. As of March 31, 2015, we had issued letters of credit totaling approximately $30.5 million against the Revolving Credit Facility.

Debt Covenants

The credit agreement dated January 31, 2014, (the “Credit Agreement”), governing the Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility, and the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, subject to certain exceptions, including but not limited to those that limit the Company’s and our subsidiaries’ abilities to (i) pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect to the Company’s or Capital LLC’s capital stock or make other restricted payments, and (ii) enter into agreements restricting certain subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany transfers.

The terms of the Credit Agreement require that, as long as any commitments remain outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, we maintain a Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of (i) our consolidated secured debt (less up to $150.0 million of unrestricted cash) to (ii) our Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the trailing four consecutive quarters, of no greater than 4.0 to 1.0. As of March 31, 2015, our Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio was 1.6 to 1.0, as adjusted to give pro forma effect to the Acquisition in accordance with the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also requires that, in connection with the incurrence of certain indebtedness, we maintain a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, which is the ratio of our consolidated total debt to our Consolidated EBITDA for the trailing four consecutive quarters, of no greater than 6.0 to 1.0. As of March 31, 2015, our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio was 5.0 to 1.0, as adjusted to give pro forma effect to the Acquisition in accordance with the Credit Agreement. 

Letter of Credit Facility

As of March 31, 2015, we issued letters of credit totaling approximately $69.6 million under our $80.0 million letter of credit facility. The fee under the letter of credit facility was immaterial in each of the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Deferred Financing Costs

As of March 31, 2015, we had deferred $37.4 million in fees and expenses associated with the Term Loan, Revolving Credit Facility, letter of credit facility and our senior unsecured notes. We are amortizing the deferred fees through Interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations over the respective terms of the Term Loan, Revolving Credit Facility, letter of credit facility and our senior unsecured notes.

Fair Value

Under the fair value hierarchy, observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are defined as Level 1; observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability are defined as Level 2; and unobservable inputs for the asset or liability are defined as Level 3. The aggregate fair value of our debt, which is estimated based on quoted market prices of similar liabilities, was approximately $2.4 billion as of March 31, 2015. The fair value of our debt is classified as Level 2.
