Long-Term Debt | Note 6: Long-Term Debt On August 31, 2010, the Company replaced its $200 million credit facility with a new $350 million revolving credit facility with Banc of America Securities, LLC, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., and Regions Capital Markets as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Managers, and a syndicate of other lenders. The facility includes a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company’s 100% owned domestic subsidiaries whose assets equal substantially all of the consolidated assets of RPC and its subsidiaries. The subsidiaries of the Company that are not guarantors are considered minor. The facility has a general term of five years and provides for an unsecured line of credit of up to $350 million, which includes a $50 million letter of credit subfacility, and a $25 million swingline subfacility. The maturity date of all revolving loans under the Credit Agreement is August 31, 2015. The Company has incurred loan origination fees and other debt related costs associated with the Revolving Credit Agreement in the aggregate of approximately $2.3 million. These costs are being amortized to interest expense over the five year term of the loan, and the net amount is classified as non-current other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Revolving loans under the facility bear interest at one of the following two rates, at the Company’s election: ● the Base Rate, which is the highest of Bank of America’s “prime rate” for the day of the borrowing, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, and a rate per annum equal to the one (1) month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%, in each case plus a margin that ranges from 0.25% to 1.25% based on a quarterly debt covenant calculation; or ● with respect to any Eurodollar borrowings, Adjusted LIBOR (which equals LIBOR as increased to account for the maximum reserve percentages established by the U.S. Federal Reserve) plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%, based upon a quarterly debt covenant calculation. In addition, the Company pays an annual fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.35%, based on a quarterly debt covenant calculation, of the unused portion of the credit facility. The facility contains customary terms and conditions, including certain financial covenants and restrictions on indebtedness, dividend payments, business combinations and other related items. Further, the facility contains financial covenants limiting the ratio of the Company’s consolidated debt-to-EBITDA to no more than 2.5 to 1, and limiting the ratio of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA to interest expense to no less than 2 to 1. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2011, RPC has outstanding borrowings of $203.3 million under the facility. Interest incurred on the facility was $4,146,000 in 2011, $3,170,000 in 2010, and $2,327,000 in 2009. The weighted average interest rate was 2.8% in 2011, 3.0% in 2010, and 1.8% in 2009. The Company capitalized interest incurred of $627,000 in 2011, $554,000 in 2010 and $150,000 in 2009 related to facilities and equipment under construction. Additionally there were letters of credit relating to self-insurance programs and contract bids outstanding for $18.4 million as of December 31, 2011. Cash interest paid (net of capitalized interest) was approximately $3,168,000 in 2011, $1,899,000 in 2010 and $2,192,000 in 2009. Effective December 2008 the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively converted $50 million of the Company’s variable-rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thereby hedging against the impact of potential interest rate changes on future interest expense. Under this agreement the Company and the issuing lender settled on a monthly basis for the difference between a fixed interest rate of 2.07% and a comparable one month LIBOR rate. This agreement terminated on September 8, 2011.
