Debt Disclosure [Text Block] |
| On March 1, 2016, Tredegar entered into a $400 million five-year, secured revolving credit facility (“Credit Agreement”), with an option to increase that amount by $50 million. The Credit Agreement replaces the Company’s previous $350 million five-year, unsecured revolving credit facility that was due to expire on April 17, 2017. In connection with the refinancing, the Company borrowed $107 million under the Credit Agreement, which was used, together with available cash on hand, to repay all indebtedness under the previous revolving credit facility.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear an interest rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread and commitment fees charged on the unused amount under the Credit Agreement at various indebtedness-to-adjusted EBITDA levels as follows:
Pricing Under Credit Revolving Agreement (Basis Points)
Indebtedness-to-Adjusted EBITDA Ratio | Credit Spread Over LIBOR |  | Commitment Fee
> 3.5x but <= 4.0x | 250 |  |  | 45 |
> 3.0x but <= 3.5x | 225 |  |  | 40 |
> 2.0x but <= 3.0x | 200 |  |  | 35 |
> 1.0x but <= 2.0x | 175 |  |  | 30 |
<= 1.0x | 150 |  |  | 25 |
At March 31, 2016, the interest cost on debt borrowed under the Credit Agreement was priced at one-month LIBOR plus the applicable credit spread of 175 basis points. The most restrictive covenants in the Credit Agreement include:
• | Maximum indebtedness-to-adjusted EBITDA (“Leverage Ratio:) of 4.00 x;
• | Minimum adjusted EBIT-to-interest expense of 2.50 x; and
• | Maximum aggregate distributions to shareholders over the term of the Credit Agreement of $100,000 plus, beginning with the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016, 50% of net income and, at a Leverage Ratio of equal to or greater than 3.00 x, a limitation on such payments for the succeeding quarter at the greater of (i) $4 million and (ii) 50% of consolidated net income for the most recent fiscal quarter, and, at a Leverage Ratio of equal to or greater than 3.50 x, the prevention of such payments for the succeeding quarter unless the fixed charge coverage ratio is equal to or greater than 1.20 x.
The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ assets, including equity in certain material first-tier foreign subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2016, Tredegar was in compliance with all financial covenants outlined in the Credit Agreement.
