Debt | ‎ Note 7. Debt As of May 31, 2019, the Company held borrowings under two separate agreements as detailed below. Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement On November 15, 2017, the Company entered into the Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement (the “Note Agreement”) by and among the Company, PGIM, Inc. (“Prudential”), and certain affiliates and managed accounts of Prudential (the “Note Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes (the “Series A Notes”) to certain of the Note Purchasers. Since November 15, 2017, this note agreement has been amended once on February 23, 2018. The Series A Notes bear interest at 3.39% per annum and will mature on November 15, 2032, unless earlier paid by the Company. Principal payments are required semi-annually in May and November of each year in equal installments of $0.4 million through May 15, 2032, and the remaining outstanding principal in the amount of $8.4 million will become due on November 15, 2032. Interest is also payable semi-annually in May and November of each year. During the nine months ended May 31, 2019, the Company repaid $0.8 million in principal on the Series A Notes pursuant to its semi-annual principal payment requirements. Pursuant to the Note Agreement, the Company may from time to time offer for sale, in one or a series of transactions, additional senior notes of the Company (the “Shelf Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $105.0 million. The Shelf Notes will have a maturity date of no more than 15.5 years after the date of original issuance and may be issued no later than November 15, 2020. The Shelf Notes, if issued, would bear interest at a rate per annum as agreed upon amongst the Company and the purchasing parties and would have such other particular terms, as would be set forth in a confirmation of acceptance executed by the purchasing parties prior to the closing of each purchase and sale transaction. To date, the Company has issued no Shelf Notes. Pursuant to the Note Agreement, the Series A Notes and any Shelf Notes (collectively, the "Notes") can be prepaid at the Company’s sole discretion, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being prepaid, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon as well as an additional make-whole payment with respect to such Notes. Credit Agreement On June 17, 2011, the Company entered into an unsecured Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”). Since June 17, 2011, this unsecured credit agreement has been amended seven times, most recently on January 22, 2019, (the “Seventh Amendment”), which extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility from May 13, 2020 to January 22, 2024 and amended the Credit Agreement to add the Company’s U.K. subsidiary as a designated borrower and permit borrowings in both Euros and Pound Sterling. The Seventh Amendment also reduced the revolving commitment from $175.0 million to $125.0 million until March 22, 2019 and to $100.0 million thereafter, as well as established a sublimit for the revolving commitment for borrowing by the Company’s U.K. operating subsidiary in the amount of $50.0 million. Per the terms of the amended agreement, the aggregate amount of the Company’s capital stock that it may repurchase may not exceed $150.0 million during the period from January 22, 2019 to the maturity date of the agreement so long as no default exists immediately prior and after giving effect thereto. In addition, the Credit Agreement features an autoborrow agreement providing for the automatic advance of revolving loans in U.S. Dollars to the Company’s designated account at Bank of America. Per the terms of the amended agreement, the Company’s outstanding balance on the autoborrow agreement cannot exceed an aggregate amount of $30.0 million. Since the autoborrow feature provides for borrowings to be made and repaid by the Company on a daily basis, any such borrowings made under an active autoborrow agreement are classified as short-term on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company had $14.1 million in net borrowings outstanding under the autoborrow agreement as of May 31, 2019. The Company assesses its ability and intent to renew the outstanding 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. Outstanding draws on the line of credit which the Company intends to repay in less than twelve months are classified as short-term. Outstanding draws for which management has the ability and intent to renew with successive short-term borrowings for a period of at least twelve months are classified as long-term. During the nine months ended May 31, 2019, the Company repaid $20.0 million in short-term borrowings outstanding under the line of credit and drew an additional $20.0 million in short-term borrowings in U.S. Dollars. In January 2019, the Company paid its entire $44.0 million U.S. Dollar balance of long- term outstanding draws in the United States and replaced them with an equivalent amount of draws in Euros and Pound Sterling at its U.K. subsidiary. Euro and Pound Sterling denominated draws will fluctuate in U.S. Dollars from period to period due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. As of May 31, 2019, the Company had a balance of $63.2 million of outstanding draws on the line of credit. Based on the Company’s ability and intent assessment, $43.2 million of this $63.2 million balance was classified as long-term and the remaining $20.0 million as short-term as of May 31, 2019. Short-term and long-term borrowings consisted of the following (in thousands):

Both the Note Agreement and the Credit Agreement contain representations, warranties, events of default and remedies, as well as affirmative, negative and other financial covenants customary for these types of agreements. These covenants include, among other things, certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness, create liens, dispose of assets, make investments, repurchase shares of the Company’s capital stock and enter into certain merger or consolidation transactions. Each agreement also includes a most favored lender provision which requires that any time any other lender has the benefit of one or more financial or operational covenants that is different than, or similar to, but more restrictive than those contained in its own agreement, those covenants shall be immediately and automatically incorporated by reference to the other lender’s agreement. Both the Note Agreement and the Credit Agreement require the Company to adhere to the same financial covenants. For the financial covenants, the definition of consolidated EBITDA includes the add back of non-cash stock-based compensation to consolidated net income when arriving at consolidated EBITDA. The terms of the financial covenants 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. As of May 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants under both the Note Agreement and the Credit Agreement.
