The maturity date for the term loan remains April 23, 2020. The term loan will bear interest at (i) an alternate base rate (which is the highest of the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1/2% and the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as each such term is defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) for a one month interest period, plus 1%) plus a margin of 2.75% or (ii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (calculated by multiplying the applicable LIBOR rate by a statutory reserve rate, with a floor of 1.00%) plus a margin of 3.75%. Prior to the repricing, Tower was paying interest on the term loan at (i) the alternate base rate plus a margin of 3.50% or (ii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (calculated by multiplying the applicable LIBOR rate by a statutory reserve rate, with a floor of 1.25%) plus a margin of 4.50%. In connection with the repricing described above, Tower anticipates that it will incur charges of approximately $5 million in the third quarter of 2013. These charges relate to a premium paid by the Company and expenses associated with the repricing.
