The purchase price was funded with the net cash proceeds from (i) the sale of $700.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 10.75% senior unsecured notes due 2023 (the “2023 notes”), (ii) entry into a $600.0 million term loan credit agreement (the “2015 term loan”), (iii) a $295.0 million draw on an amended and restated $800.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “2015 facility”), and (iv) a public offering of 9.2 million new shares of our common stock at an offering price of $12.80 per share (the “equity offering”). In connection with the financing transactions described above, we incurred approximately $65.0 million of various third-party fees and expenses. Of these costs, $18.1 million were allocated to the 2023 notes, $16.0 million were allocated to the 2015 term loan, $11.2 million were allocated to the 2015 facility and $6.5 million were allocated to the equity offering. The costs allocated to the 2023 notes and the 2015 term loan were recorded as reductions to long-term debt. The costs allocated to the 2015 facility were recorded as other assets. The costs allocated to the equity offering were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. In addition, $13.2 million in costs relate to commitment fees paid for bridge and backstop financing facilities entered into in connection with these financing transactions, neither of which was utilized. As such, these fees were recorded as interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2015. At the closing of these transactions, there were approximately $3.0 million in unamortized debt issuance costs associated with our previous revolving credit facility, of which approximately $0.9 million were recorded as interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2015. The remaining $2.1 million in unamortized costs associated with our previous revolving credit facility were carried over to the 2015 facility. 2016 Debt Transactions During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company executed several debt transactions which are described in more detail below. These transactions include two debt exchanges, complete extinguishment of our 7.625% senior secured notes due 2021 (the “2021 notes”), repricing and partially repaying our 2015 term loan and a cash tender offer in which we further reduced the aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2023 notes. Note Exchange Transactions On February 12, 2016, we completed separate privately negotiated note exchange transactions in which $218.6 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2023 notes was exchanged for $207.6 million in aggregate principal amount of our previously outstanding 2021 notes. On February 29, 2016, we completed additional separate privately negotiated note exchange transactions in which $63.8 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2023 notes was exchanged for $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our previously outstanding 2021 notes. The note exchange transactions were considered to be debt extinguishments. As such, we recognized a net gain of $7.8 million which was recorded as an offset to interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2016. Of this $7.8 million gain, $14.8 million was attributable to the reduction in outstanding principal which was partially offset by the write-off of $7.0 million of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the 2023 notes which were extinguished in the exchange transactions. In connection with issuance of the 2021 notes in the exchange transactions, we incurred $4.9 million of various third-party fees and expenses. These costs were previously recorded as a reduction to long-term debt and were subsequently written off to interest expense in the third quarter of 2016 in connection with the extinguishment of the 2021 notes as described in the “2016 Refinancing Transactions” section below. Note Redemption Transaction In May 2016, the Company exercised its contractual right to redeem $35.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2021 notes at a price of 103.0%, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption transaction was considered to be a debt extinguishment. As such, we recognized a loss of $1.7 million which was recorded as a component of interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2016. Of this $1.7 million loss, 2016 Refinancing Transactions In August 2016, we completed a private offering of $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.625% senior secured notes due 2024 (“2024 notes”) at an issue price equal to 100% of their face value. At the same time the Company also repriced its 2015 term loan. This repricing lowered the applicable margin to 3.75% in the case of Eurodollar loans and 2.75% in the case of base rate loans. This reduction represents a 1.25% decrease in the applicable margin for both Eurodollar and base rate loans. In connection with the repricing, the mandatory quarterly principal repayments were reduced from $1.375 million to $1.175 million. The proceeds from the issuance of the 2024 notes were used, together with cash on hand and borrowings on the 2015 facility, to fully redeem the $582.6 million in aggregate outstanding principal amount of 2021 notes, to pay down $125.9 million of the 2015 term loan and to pay related transaction fees and expenses. The redemption of the 2021 notes was considered to be a debt extinguishment. As such, we recognized a loss of $43.9 million which was recorded as a component of interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2016. Of this $43.9 million loss, In connection with the issuance of the 2024 notes and the 2015 term loan repricing, we incurred approximately $12.0 million of various third-party fees and expenses. Of these costs $10.5 million were allocated to the 2024 notes and have been recorded as a reduction to long-term debt. These costs are being amortized over the contractual life of the 2024 notes using the effective interest method. The remaining $1.5 million in costs incurred were allocated to the 2015 term loan. Of this $1.5 million, $1.2 million was recorded to interest expense in the third quarter of 2016. The remaining $0.3 million of new third-party costs together with $10.9 million in remaining unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs have been recorded as a reduction of long-term debt and are being be amortized over the remaining contractual life of the 2015 term loan using the effective interest method. Tender Offer In October 2016, we purchased $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2023 notes pursuant to the terms of a cash tender offer at a price of 117.0% of par value plus accrued and unpaid interest. The purchase of the 2023 notes was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under our 2015 facility. The tender offer transaction was considered to be a debt extinguishment. As such, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of $9.7 million which was recorded as a component of interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2016. Of this loss, approximately $8.5 million was attributable to the purchase premium paid to the lenders and $1.2 million was attributable to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the redeemed notes. In addition to the loss described above, we incurred approximately $0.1 million in third party costs which were recorded to selling, general, and administrative expense in the fourth quarter of 2016. 2017 Debt Transactions During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company executed several debt transactions which are described in more detail below. These transactions included a repricing and extension of the 2015 term loan as well as increasing the borrowing capacity and extending the maturity of our 2015 facility and the complete extinguishment of our 2023 notes. Our 2017 and 2016 debt transactions have extended our debt maturity profile and reduced our annual cash interest on a go forward basis. Term Loan Amendment On February 23, 2017, we repriced our 2015 term loan through an amendment and extension of the term loan credit agreement providing for a $467.7 million senior secured term loan facility due 2024 (“2024 term loan”). This repricing reduces the interest rate by 0.75% and extends the maturity by 19 months to February 29, 2024. Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch continues to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the 2024 term loan agreement. In connection with the 2024 term loan amendment we recognized $0.4 million in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2017 related to the write-off of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs. We incurred $1.2 million in lender fees which, together with $10.0 million in remaining unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs, have been recorded as a reduction of long-term debt and are being amortized over the remaining contractual life of the 2024 term loan using the effective interest method. In addition, we also incurred $1.4 million in various third-party fees and expenses related to the 2024 term loan amendment which were recorded to interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2017. Revolving Credit Facility Amendment On March 22, 2017, the Company extended the maturity date and increased the revolving commitments under its 2015 facility. This transaction resulted in an amended and restated $900.0 million revolving credit facility (“2022 facility”) and extended the maturity by 20 months to March 22, 2022. SunTrust Bank continues to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the 2022 facility agreement. All other material terms of the 2022 facility remain unchanged from those of the 2015 facility. In connection with the 2022 facility amendment, we recognized $0.6 million in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2017 related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs. We incurred $1.6 million in lender and third-party fees which, together with $8.5 million in remaining unamortized debt issuance costs, have been recorded as other assets and are being amortized over the remaining contractual life of the 2022 facility on a straight-line basis. 2023 Notes Redemption In December 2017, the Company exercised its contractual right to redeem $367.6 million in aggregate principal amount of 2023 Notes at a total redemption price of 113.249%, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption of the 2023 Notes was funded with a combination of borrowings under the 2022 facility and cash on hand. The redemption of the 2023 notes was considered to be a debt extinguishment. As such, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of $56.3 million which was recorded as a component of interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2017. Of this $56.3 million loss, 2024 Term Loan Credit Agreement As of December 31, 2017, we have $463.0 million outstanding under the 2024 term loan, which matures on February 29, 2024. The 2024 term loan bears interest based on either a eurodollar or base rate (a rate equal to the highest of an agreed commercially available benchmark rate, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% or the eurodollar rate plus 1.0%, as selected by the Company) plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin in the 2024 term loan is (x) 3% in the case of Eurodollar rate loans and (y) 2% in the case of base rate loans. The 2024 term loan has mandatory principal repayments of $1.175 million which are payable in March, June, September, and December of each year provided that each such payment is subject to reduction as a result of certain prepayments of the loans in accordance with the loan documentation. The weighted average interest rate of the term loan was 4.3% during the year ended December 31, 2017. 2022 Revolving Credit Facility The 2022 facility provides for a $900.0 million revolving credit line to be used for working capital, general corporate purposes and funding acquisitions. In addition, we may use the 2022 facility to facilitate debt repayment and consolidation. The available borrowing capacity, or borrowing base, is derived from a percentage of the Company’s eligible receivables and inventory, as defined by the agreement, subject to certain reserves. As of December 31, 2017, we had $350.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our 2022 facility and our net excess borrowing availability was $436.8 million after being reduced by outstanding letters of credit of approximately $84.9 million. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we borrowed $1,370.0 million and repaid $1,020.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 2.9%. The 2022 facility matures on March 22, 2022. Borrowings under the 2022 facility bear interest, at our option, at either a eurodollar rate or a base rate, plus, in each case an applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 1.25% to 1.75% per annum in the case of eurodollar rate loans and 0.25% to 0.75% per annum in the case of base rate loans. The margin in either case is based on a measure of availability under the 2022 facility. A variable commitment fee, currently 0.375% per annum, is charged on the unused amount of the revolver based on quarterly average loan utilization. Letters of credit under the 2022 facility are assessed at a rate equal to the applicable eurodollar margin, currently 1.25%, as well as a fronting fee at a rate of 0.125% per annum. These fees are payable quarterly in arrears at the end of March, June, September, and December. All obligations under the 2024 term loan and 2022 facility will be guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company and all other subsidiaries that guarantee the 2024 notes. All obligations and the guarantees of those obligations will be secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the guarantors subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, including (i) with respect to the 2024 term loan, a first-priority security interest in such assets that constitute Notes Collateral (as defined below) and a second priority security interest in such assets that constitute ABL Collateral (as defined below), and (ii) with respect to the 2022 facility, a first-priority security interest in such assets that constitute ABL Collateral and a second-priority security interest in such assets that constitute Notes Collateral. “ABL Collateral” includes substantially all presently owned and after-acquired accounts receivable, inventory, rights of unpaid vendors with respect to inventory, deposit accounts, commodity accounts, securities accounts and lock boxes, investment property, cash and cash equivalents, and general intangibles, books and records, supporting obligations and documents and related letters of credit, commercial tort claims or other claims related to and proceeds of each of the foregoing. “Notes Collateral” includes all collateral which is not ABL collateral. The 2024 term loan and the 2022 facility contain restrictive covenants which, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, incur liens, engage in mergers or other fundamental changes, sell certain assets, pay dividends, make acquisitions or investments, prepay certain indebtedness, change the nature of our business, and engage in certain transactions with affiliates. In addition, the 2022 facility also contains a financial covenant requiring the satisfaction of a minimum fixed charge ratio of 1.00 to 1.00 if our excess availability falls below the greater of $80.0 million or 10% of the maximum borrowing amount, which was $87.2 million as of December 31, 2017. Senior Secured Notes due 2024 As of December 31, 2017 we have $750.0 million outstanding in aggregate principal amount of the 2024 notes which mature on September 1, 2024. Interest accrues on the 2024 notes at a rate of 5.625% per annum and is payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year. The terms of the 2024 notes are governed by the indenture, dated as of August 22, 2016 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the guarantors named therein (the “Guarantors”) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and notes collateral agent (the “Notes Collateral Agent”). The 2024 notes, subject to certain exceptions, are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis, by certain of our direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. All obligations under the 2024 notes, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, including a first-priority security interest in such assets that constitute Notes Collateral (as defined above) and a second-priority security interest in such assets that constitute ABL Collateral (as defined above). The Notes Collateral Agent became a party to the ABL/Bond Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of May 29, 2013, among SunTrust Bank, as agent under the Company’s 2022 facility, the Wilmington Trust, National Association, the Company and the Guarantors, and the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2015, among Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as term collateral agent under the Company’s 2024 term loan, Wilmington Trust, National Association, the Company and the Guarantors. These documents govern all arrangements in respect of the priority of the security interests in the ABL Collateral and the Notes Collateral among the parties to the Indenture, the 2022 facility and the 2024 term loan. The 2024 notes constitute senior secured obligations of the Company and Guarantors, rank senior in right of payment to all future debt of the Company and Guarantors that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2024 notes, and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future liabilities of the Company and Guarantors that are not so subordinated, including the 2022 facility. The Indenture contains restrictive covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional debt or issue preferred stock; create liens; create restrictions on the Company’s subsidiaries’ ability to make payments to the Company; pay dividends and make other distributions in respect of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ capital stock; make certain investments or certain other restricted payments; guarantee indebtedness; designate unrestricted subsidiaries; sell certain kinds of assets; enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates; and effect mergers and consolidations. At any time prior to September 1, 2019, the Company may redeem the 2024 notes in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 notes plus the “applicable premium” set forth in the Indenture. At any time on or after September 1, 2019, the Company may redeem the 2024 notes at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. At any time and from time to time during the 36-month period following August 22, 2016 (“the Closing Date”), the Company may redeem up to 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2024 notes during each twelve-month period commencing on the Closing Date at a redemption price of 103% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In addition, at any time prior to September 1, 2019, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2024 notes with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings, as described in the Indenture, at a price equal to 105.625% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. If the Company experiences certain change of control events, holders of the 2024 notes may require it to repurchase all or part of their 2024 notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date. As of December 31, 2017 we were not in violation of any covenants or restrictions imposed by any of our debt agreements. Future maturities of long-term debt as of December 31, 2017 were as follows (in thousands): Year ending December 31, 2018 $ 4,700 2019 4,700 2020 4,700 2021 4,700 2022 354,700 Thereafter 1,189,450 Total long-term debt (including current maturities) $ 1,562,950 Warrants Our previous term loan included detachable warrants that allowed for the purchase of up to 1.6 million shares of our common stock at a price of $2.50 per share. In April 2015, the remaining 0.7 million of outstanding, detachable warrants were exercised. The warrants were considered to be derivative financial instruments and were classified as liabilities. As such, they were measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Our share price and, to a lesser extent, the historical volatility of our common stock were the primary factors in the changes to our fair value measurements related to the warrants. All other inputs being equal, an increase or decrease in our share price or volatility resulted in an increase or decrease in the fair value of our warrants and an increase or decrease in interest expense. Non-cash fair value adjustments related to our derivative financial instrument recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31 (in thousands) were as follows: Derivative Not Designated as Hedging Instruments Location of Loss Recognized in Income Amount of Loss 2017 2016 2015 Warrants Interest expense, net — — (4,563 ) We used the income approach to value our warrants by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Using this model, the risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the valuation date. The expected life was based on the period of time until the expiration of the warrants. Expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of our common stock over the most recent period equal to the expected life of the warrants. The expected dividend yield was based on our history of not paying regular dividends in the past. These techniques incorporated Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. Significant inputs to the derivative valuation for the warrants were observable in the active markets and are classified as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Lease Finance Obligations The Company is party to 141 individual property lease agreements with a single lessor as of December 31, 2017. These lease agreements have initial terms ranging from nine to fifteen years (expiring through 2021) and renewal options in five-year increments providing for up to approximately 30-year remaining total lease terms. A related agreement between the lessor and the Company gives the Company the right to acquire a limited number of the leased facilities at fair market value. As a result of these purchase rights, the Company treats all of the properties that it leases from this lessor as a financing arrangement. The Company is also party to certain additional agreements with the same lessor which commit the Company to perform certain repair and maintenance obligations under the leases in a specified manner and timeframe. In 2006, we completed construction on a new multi-purpose facility. Based on the evaluation of the construction project in accordance with the Leases As of December 31, 2017, lease finance obligations consist of $225.1 million, with cash payments of $22.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. These lease finance obligations are included on the consolidated balance sheet as a component of long-term debt and lease obligations. The related assets are recorded as components of property, plant, and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet. Future minimum commitments for lease finance obligations as of December 31, 2017 were as follows (in thousands): Year ending December 31, 2018 $ 18,418 2019 18,898 2020 17,973 2021 17,712 2022 17,650 Thereafter 238,310 Total $ 328,961 |
