Debt
On March 9, 2015, we entered into an amendment to our unsecured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement, as amended, provides for a revolving line of credit up to $400 million that may be used for revolving loans, swingline loans (subject to a sublimit of $5 million), and to request letters of credit, subject to a sublimit of $30 million. The line of credit is available for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions. The arrangement will terminate on March 9, 2020, at which time all outstanding borrowings must be repaid.
On April 1, 2015, we borrowed $225 million under the Credit Agreement in order to fund our acquisition of Acentia. Additional borrowings and repayments were subsequently made to fund working capital and capital expenditure requirements. The Credit Agreement permits us to make borrowings in currencies other than the United States Dollar. At December 31, 2015, we have U.S. Dollar borrowings of $232.3 million, Canadian Dollar borrowings of $4.5 million (6.3 million Canadian Dollars) and Australian Dollar borrowings of $7.3 million (10.0 million Australian Dollars). In addition to borrowings under the Credit Facility, we have an outstanding loan of $0.8 million (1.1 million Canadian Dollars) with the Atlantic Innovation Fund of Canada. There is no interest charge on this loan. The Atlantic Innovation Fund loan is repayable over 26 remaining quarterly installments.
At December 31, 2015, we held three letters of credit under the Credit Agreement totaling $0.7 million. Each of these letters of credit may be called by vendors in the event that the Company defaults under the terms of a contract, the probability of which we believe is remote. In addition, two letters of credit totaling $3.0 million, secured with restricted cash balances, are held with another financial institution to cover similar obligations to customers.
The Credit Agreement requires us to comply with certain financial covenants and other covenants including a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. We were in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2015. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by material domestic subsidiaries of the Company. The Credit Facility is currently unsecured. In the event that our total leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, exceeds 2.5:1.0, the Credit Agreement will become secured by the assets of the parent company and certain of its subsidiaries. At December 31, 2015, our total leverage ratio was less than 1.0:1.0.
During the three months ended December 31, 2015, we made interest payments of $0.8 million.
