Credit Agreement Key terms of our credit agreement include financial maintenance covenants and certain representations, warranties, covenants and conditions that are customarily required for similar financings. We were in compliance with all financial covenants under our credit agreement as of January 31, 2017. Borrowings under the credit agreement may be “Base Rate Borrowings” or “Eurodollar Borrowings” at our option. As of January 31, 2017, we have elected the Eurodollar option for all of our borrowings. Eurodollar loans bear interest at a monthly market interest rate plus a margin according to the credit agreement. As of January 31, 2017, the monthly market interest rate was 0.78% for our term A and revolver loans, and 0.78% for our term B loan, and the margins were 1.75% for our term A and revolver loans and 2.75% for our term B loan. Accordingly, as of January 31, 2017, the interest rate was 2.53% for the term A and revolving loans and 3.53% for the term B loan. We have a number of interest rate swap agreements under which we currently pay banks a fixed rate of 1.20% and receive a monthly floating rate, which effectively converts $500.0 million of the term A loan from a floating interest rate to a fixed interest rate as of January 31, 2017. See Note 5, Financial Instruments for additional information. As of January 31, 2017, the commitment fee for the unused portion of the revolving loan was 0.25% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, and the amount available to draw under the revolving loan was $307.1 million. |
