On May 15, 2015, the Boise Cascade and its principal operating subsidiaries, Boise Cascade Wood Products, L.L.C., and Boise Cascade Building Materials Distribution, L.L.C., as borrowers, and Boise Cascade Wood Products Holdings Corp., Chester Wood Products LLC, and Moncure Plywood LLC, as guarantors, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Amended Agreement) with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto. The Amended Agreement amends and restates a credit agreement originally dated July 13, 2011 (Prior Agreement) as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified before the date of the Amended Agreement. The principal changes resulting from the Amended Agreement were to add a term loan component and to extend the maturity date of the facility.

The Amended Agreement consists of a $350.0 million (subject to an increase pursuant to an accordion feature) revolving loan (Revolver) maturing on April 30, 2020 and a new $50.0 million term loan (Term Loan) maturing on May 1, 2022. Borrowings under the Amended Agreement are constrained by a borrowing base formula dependent upon levels of eligible receivables and inventory reduced by outstanding borrowings and letters of credit (Availability). Borrowings under the Revolver may be repaid and re-borrowed from time to time at the discretion of the borrowers without premium or penalty. Borrowings under the Term Loan may also be repaid from time to time at the discretion of the borrowers without premium or penalty. However, any principal amount of Term Loan repaid, may not be subsequently re-borrowed.

Interest rates under the Amended Agreement are based, at the company’s election, on either the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or a base rate, as defined in the agreement, plus a spread over the index. The applicable spread for the Revolver did not change from the Prior Agreement. The applicable spread for the Term Loan ranges from 0.75% to 1.25% for base rate loans, and 1.75% to 2.25% for LIBOR rate loans, both dependent on the amount of Average Excess Availability (as defined in the Amended Agreement). The Term Loan was issued by two institutions within the farm credit system and will be eligible for patronage credits.
 
The Amended Agreement is secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the borrowers and the guarantors except property and equipment.

At closing, the $50.0 million Term Loan was borrowed and the company had approximately $8 million of letters of credit outstanding that further reduce Availability under the facility. Proceeds from the Term Loan were used to fund a $40.0 million discretionary pension contribution and for general corporate purposes.
