__________________________ (1)Net of unamortized debt issuance costs expected to be amortized in the next twelve months. Revolving Credit Facilities The Company has a $600,000 committed credit facility (the “Committed Facility”). The Committed Facility, which matures on April 14, 2022, provides for a five year unsecured revolving loan facility. The interest rate is based on either the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or a base rate, plus in either case a spread based on the Company’s leverage ratio at the end of each fiscal reporting quarter. Based on the interest period the Company selects, interest may be payable every one, two, or three months. Interest is reset at the end of each interest period. The Company currently elects to have loans under the Committed Facility bear interest based on LIBOR with one-month interest periods. As of November 30, 2019 and August 31, 2019, the Company does not have an outstanding balance on its Committed Facility. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company entered into six unsecured credit facilities that are uncommitted (the “Uncommitted Facilities”), totaling $440,000 of maximum uncommitted availability. During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company extended, and in some cases amended, five of the Uncommitted Facilities (the “Amended Uncommitted Facilities”), totaling $410,000 of maximum uncommitted availability. Borrowings under the Amended Uncommitted Facilities are generally due at the end of the applicable agreed interest period, but, in any event, no later than the one-year anniversary of the entrance into the applicable Amended Uncommitted Facility. The Amended Uncommitted Facilities contain limited covenants. An event of default under the Company’s Committed Facility is an event of default under the Amended Uncommitted Facilities. The interest rate on the Amended Uncommitted Facilities is based on LIBOR or the bank’s cost of funds or as otherwise agreed upon by the applicable bank and the Company. The $117,000 outstanding at the end of the fiscal first quarter of 2020 under the Amended Uncommitted Facilities is classified as short-term in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the thirteen-week period ended November 30, 2019, the Company borrowed $69,000 and repaid $107,000 under its revolving credit facilities. As of November 30, 2019 and August 31, 2019, the weighted average interest rates on borrowings under all its revolving credit facilities were 2.57% and 3.01%, respectively. Shelf Facility Agreements In January 2018, the Company entered into Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreements with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“Met Life Note Purchase Agreement”) and PGIM, Inc. (“Prudential Note Purchase Agreement” and together with the Met Life Note Purchase Agreement, the “Shelf Facility Agreements”). The Met Life Note Purchase Agreement provides for an uncommitted facility for the issuance and sale of up to an aggregate total of $250,000 of senior notes, at either fixed or floating rates. In June 2018, the Company completed the issuance and sale of $20,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.22% Series 2018A Notes, due June 11, 2020 and $20,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.42% Series 2018B Notes, due June 11, 2021. Interest is payable semiannually at the fixed stated interest rates. As of November 30, 2019, the uncommitted availability under the Met Life Note Purchase Agreement is $210,000. The Prudential Note Purchase Agreement provides for an uncommitted facility for the issuance and sale of up to an aggregate total of $250,000 of senior notes, at a fixed rate. In January 2018, the Company completed the issuance and sale of $50,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.04% Senior Notes due January 12, 2023. Interest is payable semiannually. As of November 30, 2019, the uncommitted availability under the Prudential Note Purchase Agreement is $200,000. Each of the credit facilities, Private Placement Debt, and Shelf Facility Agreements imposes several restrictive covenants including the requirement that the Company maintain a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation) of no more than 3.00 to 1.00 (or, at the election of the Company after it consummates a material acquisition, a four-quarter temporary increase to 3.50 to 1.00), and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of EBITDA to total interest expense of at least 3.00 to 1.00, during the terms of the credit facilities, Private Placement Debt, and Shelf Facility Agreements. At November 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with the operating and financial covenants of the credit facilities, Private Placement Debt, and Shelf Facility Agreements. Financing Arrangements From time to time, the Company enters into financing arrangements with vendors to purchase certain information technology equipment or software. The equipment or software acquired from these vendors is paid for over a specified period of time based on the terms agreed upon. During the thirteen-week period ended November 30, 2019, the Company entered into financing arrangements related to certain IT equipment and software totaling $1,164. The gross amount of property and equipment acquired under the financing arrangements and its accumulated amortization at November 30, 2019 was $1,328 and $172, respectively.
