Note 3 - Long-term Debt
The following table illustrates the Company’s current debt portfolio as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:
6.75% Senior Notes, due July 2022
On January 22, 2014, we issued $360.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Senior Notes due July 2022 (“6.75% Notes”) pursuant to an Indenture between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The 6.75% Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equal in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The 6.75% Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness under the Second Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement, as amended from time-to-time (“2015 Secured Credit Agreement”) and our 7.50% Senior Notes, due 2020 (“7.50% Notes”, and collectively with the 6.75% Notes, the “Senior Notes”). Interest on the 6.75% Notes is payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning July 15, 2014. Debt issuance costs related to the 6.75% Notes of approximately $7.6 million ($4.2 million net of amortization as of June 30, 2018) are being amortized over the term of the notes using the effective interest rate method.
We may redeem all or a part of the 6.75% Notes upon appropriate notice, at redemption prices decreasing each year after January 15, 2018 to par beginning January 15, 2020. As of June 30, 2018, the redemption price is 103.375 percent and we have not made any redemptions to date. If we experience certain changes in control, we must offer to repurchase the 6.75% Notes at 101.0 percent of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.
The Indenture limits our ability and the ability of certain subsidiaries to: (i) sell assets, (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions on capital stock or redeem or repurchase capital stock or subordinated indebtedness, (iii) make investments, (iv) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, (v) create or incur liens, (vi) enter into sale and leaseback transactions, (vii) incur dividend or other payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries, (viii) merge or consolidate with other entities, (ix) enter into transactions with affiliates, and (x) engage in certain business activities. Additionally, the Indenture contains certain restrictive covenants designating certain events as Events of Default. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.
7.50% Senior Notes, due August 2020
On July 30, 2013, we issued $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 7.50% Notes pursuant to an Indenture between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The 7.50% Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equal in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The 7.50% Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness under the 2015 Secured Credit Agreement and the 6.75% Notes. Interest on the 7.50% Notes is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning February 1, 2014. Debt issuance costs related to the 7.50% Notes of approximately $5.6 million ($2.0 million, net of amortization as of June 30, 2018) are being amortized over the term of the notes using the effective interest rate method.
We may redeem all or a part of the 7.50% Notes upon appropriate notice, at redemption prices decreasing each year after August 1, 2016 to par beginning August 1, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, the redemption price is 101.875 percent and we have not made any redemptions to date. If we experience certain changes in control, we must offer to repurchase the 7.50% Notes at 101.0 percent of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.
The Indenture limits our ability and the ability of certain subsidiaries to: (i) sell assets, (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions on capital stock or redeem or repurchase capital stock or subordinated indebtedness, (iii) make investments, (iv) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, (v) create or incur liens, (vi) enter into sale and leaseback transactions, (vii) incur dividend or other payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries, (viii) merge or consolidate with other entities, (ix) enter into transactions with affiliates, and (x) engage in certain business activities. Additionally, the Indenture contains certain restrictive covenants designating certain events as Events of Default. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.
2015 Secured Credit Agreement
On January 26, 2015 we entered into the 2015 Secured Credit Agreement. The 2015 Secured Credit Agreement was originally comprised of a $200.0 million revolving credit facility (“Revolver”), which was reduced to $80.0 million in February 2018. The 2015 Secured Credit Agreement formerly included financial maintenance covenants, including a Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, and Asset Coverage Ratio, many of which were suspended beginning in September 2015.
On February 14, 2018, we executed the Fifth Amendment to the 2015 Secured Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”) which modified the credit facility to an Asset-Based Lending structure and reduced the size of the Revolver from $100.0 million to $80.0 million. The Fifth Amendment eliminated the financial maintenance covenants previously in effect and replaced them with a liquidity covenant of $30.0 million and a monthly borrowing base calculation based on eligible rental equipment and eligible domestic accounts receivable. The liquidity covenant requires the Company to maintain a minimum of $30.0 million of liquidity (defined as availability under the borrowing base and cash on hand), of which $15.0 million is restricted, resulting in a maximum availability at any one time of the lesser of (a) an amount equal to our borrowing base minus $15.0 million, or (b) $65.0 million. Our ability to borrow under the 2015 Secured Credit Agreement is determined by reference to our borrowing base. The Fifth Amendment also allows for refinancing our existing Senior Notes with either secured or unsecured debt, adds the ability for the Company to designate certain of its subsidiaries as “Designated Borrowers” and removes our availability to make certain restricted payments. The debt issuance costs incurred relating to the Fifth Amendment were $1.4 million. The remaining debt issuance costs including all amendments as of June 30, 2018 were $1.7 million which are being amortized through January 2020 on a straight line basis.
On July 12, 2018, we executed the Sixth Amendment to the 2015 Secured Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”) which permits the Company to make Restricted Payments (as defined in the 2015 Secured Credit Agreement) in the form of certain Equity Interests (as defined in the 2015 Secured Credit Agreement).
Our obligations under the 2015 Secured Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of our direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, other than immaterial subsidiaries and subsidiaries generating revenues primarily outside the United States, each of which has executed guaranty agreements, and are secured by first priority liens on our accounts receivable, specified rigs including barge rigs in the GOM and land rigs in Alaska, certain U.S.-based rental equipment of the Company and its subsidiary guarantors and the equity interests of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. In addition to the liquidity covenant and borrowing base requirements, the 2015 Secured Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, such as limitations on indebtedness and liens, and restrictions on entry into certain affiliate transactions and payments (including certain payments of dividends). As of June 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all covenants contained in the 2015 Secured Credit Agreement.
Our Revolver is available for general corporate purposes and to support letters of credit. Interest on Revolver loans accrues at either:
Revolving loans are available subject to a monthly borrowing base calculation. As of June 30, 2018 the borrowing base under the $80.0 million Revolver was $73.4 million, which was further reduced by $15.0 million of restricted liquidity and $5.9 million in supporting letters of credit outstanding, resulting in availability under the revolver of $52.5 million. There were no amounts drawn on the Revolver as of June 30, 2018.
