Note 7. Debt

Revolving Credit Facility

On June 17, 2011, the Company entered into an unsecured credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”). On May 13, 2015, the Company entered into a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to this existing unsecured credit agreement with Bank of America. The amended agreement extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility for five years from the effective date of the Second Amendment and increased the revolving commitment to an amount not to exceed $150.0 million. The new maturity date for the revolving credit facility is May 13, 2020. Per the terms of the amended agreement, all loans denominated in U.S. dollars will accrue interest at the bank’s Prime rate or at LIBOR plus a predetermined margin of 0.85 percent and all loans denominated in foreign currencies will accrue interest at LIBOR plus the same predetermined margin (together with any applicable mandatory liquid asset costs imposed by non-U.S. banking regulatory authorities). Interest on outstanding loans is due and payable on a quarterly basis through the credit facility maturity date. The Company may also borrow against the credit facility through the issuance of standby letters of credit. Outstanding letters of credit are subject to a fee equal to a 0.85 percent per annum applied to amounts available to be drawn on outstanding letters of credit. In addition, the Company incurs commitment fees for the credit facility at an annual rate of 0.125 percent applied to the portion of the total credit facility commitment that has not been borrowed.

In accordance with the Second Amendment, the Company and Bank of America may enter into an autoborrow agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Bank of America, providing for the automatic advance of revolving loans in U.S. Dollars to the Company’s designated account at Bank of America. No such autoborrow agreement has been signed to date. The Second Amendment also eliminated the material adverse effect clause as an event of default. In addition to other non-material technical amendments to the agreement, the Second Amendment revised the definition of consolidated EBITDA to include the add back of non-cash stock-based compensation to consolidated net income when arriving at consolidated EBITDA and the terms of the financial covenants per the Second Amendment are as follows:

The consolidated leverage ratio cannot be greater than three to one. The consolidated leverage ratio means, as of any date of determination, the ratio of (a) consolidated funded indebtedness as of such date to (b) consolidated EBITDA for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters

The consolidated interest coverage ratio cannot be less than three to one. The consolidated interest coverage ratio means, as of any date of determination, the ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters to (b) consolidated interest charges for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters.

The agreement includes representations, warranties and covenants customary for credit facilities of this type, as well as customary events of default and remedies. To date, the Company has used the proceeds of the revolving credit facility for its stock repurchases and plans to continue using such proceeds for its general working capital needs and stock repurchases under any existing board approved share buy-back plans.

Prior to the execution of the Second Amendment and the removal of the material adverse effect clause as an event of default, all amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility were classified as short-term on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as Bank of America could require the Company to immediately repay all amounts outstanding on the credit facility based on subjective factors. With the removal of the material adverse effect clause as an event of default, Bank of America can no longer require this immediate repayment of amounts outstanding on the line of credit. As a result, the Company is permitted to classify draws on the line of credit as long-term provided that management has determined it has the ability and intent to refinance such draws on the line of credit for a period in excess of twelve months. The Company assesses its ability and intent associated with draws on the line of credit at the end of each reporting period in order to determine the proper balance sheet classification for amounts outstanding on the line of credit. Since the autoborrow feature within the Second Amendment allows for borrowings to be made and repaid by the Company on a daily basis, any such borrowings made under an active autoborrow agreement would be classified as short-term on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

During the nine months ended May 31, 2015, the Company borrowed an additional $10.0 million U.S. dollars under the revolving credit facility. The Company regularly converts existing draws on its line of credit to new draws with new maturity dates and interest rates. As of May 31, 2015, the Company had a $108.0 million outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility and was in compliance with all debt covenants under this credit facility. Based on management’s ability and intent assessment in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015, it concluded that all amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility were long-term as of May 31, 2015 and classified them as such on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
