Senior Credit Facility [Abstract] |
Senior Credit Facility | Senior Credit Facility The Company has a five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) that was entered into on September 29, 2017 and amended on April 16, 2020. The Facility has a maximum aggregate principal amount of $225,000, with a sublimit of $30,000 for letters of credit and a sublimit of $30,000 for swing line loans. The Facility may be increased by up to $25,000 to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $250,000 pursuant to the terms of the credit agreement, subject to the lenders’ agreement to increase their commitments or the addition of new lenders extending such commitments. Such increases to the Facility may be in the form of additional revolving credit loans, term loans or a combination thereof, and are contingent upon there being no events of default under the Facility and satisfaction of other conditions precedent and are subject to the other limitations set forth in the credit agreement. The Facility is scheduled to mature in September 2022 and may be used to refinance existing indebtedness of the Company and for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. The Facility refinanced the Company’s obligations for its unsecured credit facility under the credit agreement dated as of February 4, 2015, as amended, which was terminated as of the date of the new Facility. Unless the Company elects otherwise under the credit agreement, interest on borrowings under the Facility will be at the base interest rate (which cannot be less than 3.00%) and will be the highest of (a) the federal funds rate (which cannot be less than 0.00%) plus 0.50%, (b) the administrative agent's prime rate and (c) the LIBOR Rate (which cannot be less than 1.00%) plus 1.00% and, in each case, a margin for LIBOR Rate Loans and Letter of Credit Fees that can range from 1.25% to 1.75% with respect to the Facility depending on the Company’s ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as set forth in the credit agreement. Payments of interest for each loan that is based on the LIBOR Rate are due in arrears on the last day of the interest period applicable to such loan (with interest periods of one, two or three months being available, at the Company’s option). Payments of interest on loans that are not based on the LIBOR Rate are due on the last day of each quarter ended March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. All unpaid amounts of principal and interest are due at maturity. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $112,500 in borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility, $15,367 utilized for outstanding letters of credit and $97,133 of available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility. The interest rate on the outstanding borrowing under the revolving credit facility was 3.27% as of September 30, 2020. The Facility contains customary events of default including, among other things, payment defaults, breach of covenants, cross acceleration to material indebtedness, bankruptcy-related defaults, material judgment defaults, and the occurrence of certain change of control events. The occurrence of an event of default may result in, among other things, the termination of the Facilities, acceleration of repayment obligations and the exercise of remedies by the lenders with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries that are party to the Facility. The Facility also contains financial covenants and other covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries, without the approval of the required lenders, to engage in certain mergers, consolidations, asset sales, dividends and stock repurchases, investments, and other transactions or to incur liens or indebtedness in excess of agreed thresholds, as set forth in the credit agreement. As of September 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the aforementioned covenants.
