| Long-Term Debt |
On May 28, 2010, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries completed the financing on a $320,000 senior secured first lien credit facility (the “Senior Facilities”), consisting of a $290,000 term loan and a $30,000 revolving credit facility (“Revolver”). The term loan portion of the Senior Facilities had a six year term and the Revolver had a five year term. Prior to a subsequent amendment, the Senior Facilities provided borrowings at interest rates based on a EuroDollar rate plus a margin of 3.75% (the “EuroDollar Margin”), or a base rate (the “Base Rate”) plus a margin of 2.75% (the “Base Rate Margin”). The EuroDollar rate was subject to a minimum floor of 1.75% and the Base Rate was subject to a minimum floor of 2.75%. The Senior Facilities contain financial and operating covenants which require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios, including a secured leverage ratio. This debt agreement provides for customary events of default, including, but not limited to, payment defaults, breach of representations or covenants, cross-defaults, bankruptcy events, failure to pay judgments, attachment of its assets, change of control, and the issuance of an order of dissolution. Certain of these events of default are subject to notice and cure periods or materiality thresholds. The occurrence of an event of default permits the lenders under the Senior Facilities to accelerate repayment of all amounts due.
Effective April 18, 2011, the Company completed an amendment to the credit agreement governing our Senior Facilities. The Senior Facilities amendment eliminated the total leverage and interest coverage covenants and reduced the secured leverage covenant to 4.75x with no future step downs. The term loan pricing was modified to reduce the Eurodollar Margin and the Base Rate Margin by 25 basis points and reduce the floor on Eurodollar and Base Rate Loans by an additional 25 basis points. In connection with the amendment to the credit agreement, the Company incurred loan discount costs of $1,250. As the modification of the Senior Facilities agreement was not substantial, the unamortized loan discount and debt issuance costs will be amortized over the term of the amended Senior Facilities. Effective November 4, 2011, the Company entered into a Joinder Agreement to our credit agreement under the existing Senior Facilities (the “2011 Incremental Facility”). The 2011 Incremental Facility increased the aggregate term loan commitments available to Hillman Group under the Senior Facilities by $30,000. In connection with the 2011 Incremental Facility, the Company incurred loan discount costs of $750. The modification of the Senior Facilities agreement was not substantial and the unamortized loan discount costs are amortized over the term of the amended Senior Facilities. The aggregate principal amount of commitments under the Senior Facilities, after giving effect to the 2011 Incremental Facility, was $350,000. The Company used the proceeds for general corporate purposes. Effective November 7, 2012, the Company entered into a Joinder Agreement (the “2012 Incremental Facility”) to our credit agreement under the existing $320,000 Senior Secured First Lien Credit Facility (the “Senior Facilities”). The 2012 Incremental Facility increased the aggregate term loan commitments available to Hillman Group under the Senior Facilities by $76,800. Subject to the conditions precedent to each funding date described in Section 17 of the 2012 Incremental Facility, the Company could make two drawings under the 2012 Incremental Facility on any business day after November 7, 2012 and prior to April 1, 2013. On February 19, 2013, the Company drew down on funds from the 2012 Incremental Facility in order to fund the permitted Paulin Acquisition. The aggregate principal amount of commitments under the Senior Facilities, after giving effect to the 2012 Incremental Facility, was $420,000. Effective February 14, 2013, the Company completed an amendment to the credit agreement governing our Senior Facilities. The Senior Facilities amendment modified the term loan pricing to reduce the EuroDollar margin by 50 basis points to 3.00% and reduce the EuroDollar floor on EuroDollar loans by an additional 25 basis points to 1.25%. This amendment modified the term loan pricing to reduce the base rate margin by 50 basis points to 2.00% and reduce the floor on base rate loans by an additional 25 basis points to 2.25%. This amendment also extends the maturity date of the term loan facilities by one year to May 28, 2017. Effective December 19, 2013, the Company completed an amendment to the credit agreement governing our Senior Facilities. The Senior Facilities amendment modified the term loan pricing to reduce the EuroDollar margin by 25 basis points to 2.75% and reduce the EuroDollar floor on EuroDollar term loans by an additional 25 basis points to 1.00%. This amendment modified the term loan pricing to reduce the base rate margin by 25 basis points to 1.75% and reduce the floor on base rate term loans by an additional 25 basis points to 2.00%. The Company was in compliance with all provisions and covenants of the amended Senior Facilities as of December 31, 2013. Concurrently with the Merger Transaction, Hillman Group issued $150,000 aggregate principal amount of our senior notes due 2018 (the “10.875% Senior Notes”). On March 16, 2011, Hillman Group completed an offering of $50,000 aggregate principal amount of 10.875% Senior Notes. Hillman Group received a premium of $4,625 on the $50,000 10.875% Senior Notes offering. On December 21, 2012, Hillman Group completed an offering of $65,000 aggregate principal amount of 10.875% Senior Notes. Hillman Group received a premium of $4,225 on the $65,000 10.875% Senior Notes offering. The 10.875% Senior Notes are guaranteed by The Hillman Companies, Inc., Hillman Investment Company, and all of the domestic subsidiaries of Hillman Group. Hillman Group pays interest on the 10.875% Senior Notes semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The Company pays interest to the Hillman Group Capital Trust (“Trust”) on the Junior Subordinated Debentures underlying the Trust Preferred Securities at the rate of 11.6% per annum on their face amount of $105,443, or $12,231 per annum in the aggregate. The Trust will redeem the Trust Preferred Securities when the Junior Subordinated Debentures are repaid, or at maturity on September 30, 2027. The Trust distributes an equivalent amount to the holders of the Trust Preferred Securities. Pursuant to the Indenture that governs the Trust Preferred Securities, the Trust is able to defer distribution payments to holders of the Trust Preferred Securities for a period that cannot exceed 60 months (the “Deferral Period”). During a Deferral Period, the Company is required to accrue the full amount of all interest payable, and such deferred interest payable would become immediately payable by the Company at the end of the Deferral Period. There were no deferrals of distribution payments to holders of the Trust Preferred Securities in 2013 or 2012. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, long-term debt is summarized as follows:
The aggregate minimum principal maturities of the long-term debt, excluding the discount of $3,790 on Term Loan B and unamortized premium of $6,750 on the 10.875% Senior Notes, for each of the five years following December 31, 2013 are as follows:
As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $26,121 available under our revolving credit agreement and letter of credit commitments outstanding of $3,879. The Company had outstanding debt of $385,955 under our secured credit facilities at December 31, 2013, consisting of $385,399 in Term B-2 loans and $556 in capitalized lease and other obligations. The term loan consisted of $385,399 in Term B-2 Loans currently at a three (3) month LIBOR rate of 3.75%. The capitalized lease and other obligations were at various interest rates. |
