In September 2005, we issued $200.0 million in ten-year senior unsecured notes due 2015 (the "Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes were issued by Global, bearing an annual coupon rate of 5.375% with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1. We have used the net proceeds of $198.4 million to improve our retail network, invest in our manufacturing and logistics operations, and for other general corporate purposes. During fiscal 2011, the Company reduced its outstanding debt by $38.2 million. Outstanding debt was further reduced by $2.2 million during the current fiscal year.

We also maintain a $50 million senior secured, asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). At September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, we had no revolving loans and $0.7 million of standby and trade letters of credit outstanding under the Facility. The Facility is subject to borrowing base availability and includes a right for the Company to increase to total facility to $100 million subject to certain conditions. The Facility is secured by all property owned, leased or operated by the Company in the United States excluding any real property owned by the Company and contains customary covenants which may limit the Company’s ability to incur debt, engage in mergers and consolidations, make restricted payments (including dividends), sell certain assets, and make investments. Remaining availability under the facility totaled $49.3 million at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011 and as a result, covenants and other restricted payment limitations did not apply. The Facility expires March 25, 2016, or June 26, 2015 if the Senior Notes have not been refinanced prior to that date.

At September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all covenants of the Senior Notes and the Facility.
