Senior Secured Credit Facilities

Term Loan and Revolver. In September 2014, Vectrus, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Vectrus Systems Corporation entered into a credit agreement with a group of lenders, including JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. The credit agreement was amended as of April 19, 2016, to modify certain financial and negative covenants (as so amended, the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement provides for $215.0 million in senior secured financing, consisting of a $140.0 million five-year term loan facility (the Term Loan) and a $75.0 million five-year senior secured revolving credit facility (the Revolver, and together with the Term Loan, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities).
We used $136.3 million from the Term Loan to pay a distribution to a subsidiary of Exelis on September 26, 2014. The remaining $3.7 million from the Term Loan consisted of debt financing fees, which are included in "Long-term debt, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the life of the Credit Agreement. Amortization expenses relating to debt issuance costs were $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and July 1, 2016, respectively. These costs are included in interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Term Loan amortizes in quarterly installments at the following rates per annum: 7.5% in year one, 10.0% in each of years two and three, 15.0% in year four and 57.5% in year five. Amounts borrowed under the Term Loan that are repaid or prepaid may not be re-borrowed. Any unpaid amounts must be repaid by September 17, 2019. As of June 30, 2017, the balance outstanding under the Term Loan was $78.0 million.

The Revolver is available for working capital, capital expenditures, and other general corporate purposes. Up to $35.0 million of the Revolver is available for the issuance of letters of credit, and there is a swingline facility in an amount equal to $10.0 million. The Revolver will mature and the commitments thereunder will terminate on September 17, 2019. As of June 30, 2017, there were seven letters of credit outstanding in the aggregate amount of $10.2 million, which reduced our borrowing availability to $64.8 million under the Revolver.

Covenants. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain customary covenants, including covenants that, under certain circumstances and subject to certain qualifications and exceptions: limit or restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness; merge, dissolve, liquidate or consolidate; make acquisitions, investments, advances or loans; dispose of or transfer assets; pay dividends; redeem or repurchase certain debt; and enter into certain restrictive agreements. As of June 30, 2017, the maximum amount of dividends we could pay was $12.9 million.

In addition, we are required to comply with (a) a maximum ratio of total consolidated indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of 3.25 to 1.00, which stepped down to 3.00 to 1.00 beginning with the first quarter of 2017 and will step down to 2.75 to 1.00 beginning with the first quarter of 2018, and (b) a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense (net of cash interest income) of 4.50 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2017, we had a ratio of total consolidated indebtedness to EBITDA of 1.61 to 1.00 and a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of 10.01 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all covenants related to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as of June 30, 2017.

Interest Rates and Fees. Outstanding borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities accrue interest, at our option, at a per annum rate of (i) LIBOR plus the applicable margin, which ranges from 2.50% to 3.00%, or (ii) a base rate plus the applicable margin. The interest rate under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities at June 30, 2017 was 3.98%. We pay a commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the Revolver ranging from 0.40% to 0.50%, depending on the leverage ratio.

Carrying Value and Fair Value. The fair value of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities approximates the carrying value as of June 30, 2017 because the debt bears interest at a floating rate of interest. The fair value is based on observable inputs of interest rates that are currently available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities for non-public debt.
