Arrangement of a Registrant
As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, we have drawn $60.0 million on our $250.0 million revolving credit facility. Based on our current debt ratings, the incremental borrowing rate is 5.96%, or LIBOR plus 0.60%, on the outstanding balance.
The proceeds of this borrowing were used to fund our share repurchase program. From October 26, 2006 through November 24, 2006, we have repurchased 2.8 million shares of our common stock for $92.8 million at an average price of $33.17. At November 24, 2006, $46.6 million was available under the Board of Directors' authorized plan. The repurchase program has no stated expiration date. Our revolving credit facility, as amended, allows for unlimited stock repurchases based on meeting the required leverage ratio.
The material terms of our revolving credit facility are described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 26, 2006.
