Description of compliance with covenants |  |  | The unsecured senior notes require Precision to comply with certain restrictive and financial covenants including an incurrence based test of Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, as defined in the senior note agreements, of greater than or equal to 2.0:1 for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters. In the event the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio is less than 2.0:1 for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters the senior notes restrict Precision’s ability to incur additional indebtedness. | The unsecured senior notes require Precision to comply with certain restrictive and financial covenants including an incurrence based test of Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, as defined in the senior note agreements, of greater than or equal to 2.0:1 for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters.

Description of compliance with covenants |  |  | The unsecured senior notes also contain a restricted payments covenant that limits Precision’s ability to make payments in the nature of dividends, distributions and for repurchases from shareholders. This restricted payments basket grows by, among other things, 50% of cumulative consolidated net earnings, and decreases by 100% of cumulative consolidated net losses as defined in the note agreements, and cumulative payments made to shareholders. At December 31, 2021, the governing net restricted payments basket was negative $369 million (2020 – negative $307 million), therefore limiting us from making any further dividend payments or share repurchases until the governing restricted payments basket once again becomes positive. During 2021, pursuant to the indentures governing the unsecured senior notes, Precision used the available general restricted payments basket to facilitate the repurchase and cancellation of its common shares. | The unsecured senior notes also contain a restricted payments covenant that limits Precision’s ability to make payments in the nature of dividends, distributions and for repurchases from shareholders.
