In February 2010, Diamond entered into an agreement with a syndicate of lenders to replace its prior credit facility with a five-year $600 million secured credit facility (the Secured Credit Facility). As of January 31, 2012, the Secured Credit Facility consisted of a $285 million revolving credit facility, of which $209 million was outstanding, and a $400 million term loan facility, of which $330 million was outstanding. Since the inception of the Secured Credit Facility, the syndicate of lenders has approved two requests to increase the revolving credit facility of the Secured Credit Facility: in March 2011, the revolving credit facility was increased from $200 million to $235 million to fund increased working capital requirements, and in August 2011, the revolving credit facility was increased from $235 million to $285 million to accommodate spending related to the proposed Pringles merger and to increase general liquidity. In both cases, the terms of the revolving credit facility were not changed. On the term loan, scheduled principal payments were $40 million for fiscal 2012 and each of the succeeding two years (due quarterly), and $10 million for each of the first two quarters in fiscal 2015, with the remaining principal balance and any outstanding loans under the revolving credit facility to be repaid on the fifth anniversary of initial funding. As of January 31, 2012, borrowings under the Secured Credit Facility initially bear interest, at Diamonds option, at either a fluctuating rate per annum (the Base Rate) plus a margin of 2.50%, or the LIBOR rate, plus a margin for LIBOR loans ranging from 2.25% to 3.50%, based on the consolidated leverage ratio which is defined as the ratio of total debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). For the three months and six months ended January 31, 2012, the blended interest rate was 3.7% and 3.8%, respectively, for the Companys consolidated borrowings. Substantially all of the Companys tangible and intangible assets are considered collateral security under the Secured Credit Facility.
