Amended and Restated Senior Credit Agreement |
On December 19, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment to the amended and restated credit agreement (the "Senior Credit Facility") which modified covenants to permit the distribution and/or dividend by the Company of its spine business to the Company's public stockholders. The intent of the amendment is to permit the Company to consummate the spine business spin-off transaction. |
On July 2, 2014, the Company entered into the Senior Credit Facility with a syndicate of lending banks, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Syndication Agent and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, Royal Bank of Canada, Citizens Bank, National Association, DNB Capital LLC, Credit Agricole-Corporate and Investment Bank and TD Bank, N.A., as Co-Documentation Agents. The Company's Senior Credit Facility was originally amended and restated on August 10, 2010, and that agreement was then amended on June 8, 2011, May 11, 2012, and June 21, 2013, as previously disclosed. |
The 2014 amended and restated Senior Credit Facility created an aggregate principal amount of up to $900.0 million available to the Company through the following facilities: |
| | | | | | | |
i. | a $750.0 million revolving credit facility (increased from $600.0 million), which includes a $60.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $60.0 million sublimit for swingline loans, and | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
ii. | a $150.0 million term loan facility. | | | | | | |
The Senior Credit Facility allows the Company to further increase the size of either the revolving credit facility or the term loan facility, or a combination thereof, by an aggregate of $200.0 million with additional commitments. The July 2014 amended and restated Senior Credit Facility extended the maturity date of the prior facility from June 8, 2016 to July 2, 2019. |
Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to: |
| | | | | | | |
i. | the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the amendment and restatement) in effect from time to time plus the applicable rate (ranging from 1.00% to 1.75%), or | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
ii. | the highest of: | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
1 | the weighted average overnight Federal funds rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 0.50%, or | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
2 | the prime lending rate of Bank of America, N.A., or | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
3 | the one-month Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%. | | | | | | |
The applicable rates are based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of (a) consolidated funded indebtedness less cash in excess of $40.0 million that is not subject to any restriction of the use or investment thereof to (b) consolidated EBITDA) at the time of the applicable borrowing. |
|
The Company will also pay an annual commitment fee (ranging from 0.15% to 0.30%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio) on the daily amount by which the revolving credit facility exceeds the outstanding loans and letters of credit under the credit facility. |
|
The Senior Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries, excluding intangible assets. The Senior Credit Facility is subject to various financial and negative covenants and at March 31, 2015 the Company was in compliance with all such covenants. In connection with the modification of the 2014 amendment and restatement of the Senior Credit Facility the Company capitalized $3.2 million of incremental financing costs, and expensed $0.3 million of previously capitalized financing costs. |
|
On July 2, 2014, the Company borrowed $422.0 million under the Senior Credit Facility consisting of a $150.0 million term loan and $272.0 million under its revolving credit facility. The Company used the funds to repay the balance of its previous Senior Credit Facility. The outstanding borrowings have one, two, three, six months, or, if available, twelve months interest periods. |
At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there was $251.9 million and $266.9 million outstanding under the revolving credit component of the Senior Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 1.7%. At March 31, 2015, there was approximately $498.1 million available for borrowing under the Senior Credit Facility. The Company considers the balance to be long-term in nature based on its current intent and ability to repay the borrowing outside of the next twelve-month period. |
At March 31, 2015 there was $150.0 million outstanding under the term loan component of the Senior Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 1.7%. Contractual repayments of the term loan do not begin until September 30, 2015 and are due as follows: |

The fair value of outstanding borrowings of the Senior Credit Facility's revolving credit facility and term loan components at March 31, 2015 was approximately $235.8 million and $141.3 million, respectively. These fair values were determined by using a discounted cash flow model based on current market interest rates available to the Company. These inputs are corroborated by observable market data for similar liabilities and therefore classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 inputs represent inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly and are other than active market observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities. |
2016 Convertible Senior Notes |
On June 15, 2011, the Company issued $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 1.625% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2016 (the “2016 Notes”). The 2016 Notes mature on December 15, 2016, and bear interest at a rate of 1.625% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on December 15 and June 15 of each year. The portion of the debt proceeds that was classified as equity at the time of the offering was $43.2 million, an equivalent of that amount is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method through December 2016. The effective interest rate implicit in the liability component is 5.6%. |
At March 31, 2015, the carrying amount of the liability component was $215.2 million, the remaining unamortized discount was $14.8 million, and the principal amount outstanding was $230.0 million. The fair value of the 2016 Notes at March 31, 2015 was approximately $272.3 million. At December 31, 2014, the carrying amount of the liability component was $213.1 million, the remaining unamortized discount was $16.9 million and the principal amount outstanding was $230.0 million. The fair value of the liability of the 2016 Notes was determined using a discounted cash flow model based on current market interest rates available to the Company. These inputs are corroborated by observable market data for similar liabilities and therefore classified within Level 2. |
The 2016 Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company, and are convertible into cash and, if applicable, shares of its common stock based on an initial conversion rate, subject to adjustment of 17.4092 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2016 Notes (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $57.44 per share). The Company will satisfy any conversion of the 2016 Notes with cash up to the principal amount of the 2016 Notes pursuant to the net share settlement mechanism set forth in the indenture and, with respect to any excess conversion value, with shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2016 Notes are convertible only in the following circumstances: (1) if the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 150% of the conversion price during a period as defined in the indenture; (2) if the average trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the 2016 Notes is less than or equal to 98% of the average conversion value of the 2016 Notes during a period as defined in the indenture; (3) at any time on or after June 15, 2016; or (4) if specified corporate transactions occur. The issue price of the 2016 Notes was equal to their face amount, which is also the amount holders are entitled to receive at maturity if the 2016 Notes are not converted. As of March 31, 2015, certain conversion features were triggered due to the proposed spin-off of the Company's subsidiary, Seaspine Holdings Corporation, which allows the holders to convert all or any of the 2016 Notes subject to certain conditions. The 2016 Notes are convertible through June 10, 2015. However, the Company has continued to classify these notes as long-term as of March 31, 2015, as the Company has the intent and ability to refinance the 2016 Notes. |
In connection with the issuance of the 2016 Notes, the Company entered into call transactions and warrant transactions, primarily with affiliates of the initial purchasers of such notes (the “hedge participants”). The initial strike price of the call transaction is approximately $57.44 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The initial strike price of the warrant transaction is approximately $70.05 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. |
