Section 1.01.       Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

 

On November 1, 2018, the Registrant entered into a five-year, $375 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of U.S. and Canadian banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as syndication agent.  The facilities include up to $40 million which may be advanced in the form of letters of credit, and up to $100 million (U.S. dollar equivalent) which may be advanced in Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, pounds Sterling, Euros and such other foreign currencies as may subsequently be agreed upon among the parties. This facility replaced our $295 million unsecured revolving credit facility.  There were no borrowings outstanding on that revolving credit facility as of November 1, 2018, exclusive of supported Letters of Credit aggregating approximately $10 million.  Cash borrowings are charged interest based upon an index selected by the Registrant, plus a margin that is determined based upon the index selected and upon the financial performance of the Registrant and certain of its subsidiaries. The Registrant is charged a facility fee on the entire amount of the lending commitment, at a per annum rate ranging from 12.5 to 30.0 basis points, also determined based upon the Registrant's performance.  The facility fee is payable quarterly in arrears.

 

A copy of the Credit Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10(i)(2) to this Current Report.
