Floor Plan Notes Payable

Floor plan notes are financing agreements to facilitate the Company’s purchase of new and used commercial vehicles. These notes are collateralized by the inventory purchased and accounts receivable arising from the sale thereof. The Company’s Floor Plan Credit Agreement provides for a loan commitment of up to $850.0 million and has the interest rate benchmarked to LIBOR, as defined in the agreement.

The interest rate under the Company’s Floor Plan Credit Agreement is the three month LIBOR rate plus 2.03%. The interest rate applicable to the Company’s Floor Plan Credit Agreement was approximately 2.64% at December 31, 2015. The Company utilizes its excess cash on hand to pay down its outstanding borrowings under its Floor Plan Credit Agreement, and the resulting interest earned is recognized as an offset to the Company’s gross interest expense under the Floor Plan Credit Agreement. The Company is required to pay a monthly working capital fee equal to 0.35% per annum multiplied by the amount of voluntary prepayments of new and used inventory loans.

The Company finances substantially all of the purchase price of its new commercial vehicle inventory, and the loan value of its used commercial vehicle inventory under its Floor Plan Credit Agreement, under which BMO Harris pays the manufacturer directly with respect to new commercial vehicles. Amounts borrowed under the Company’s Floor Plan Credit Agreement are due when the related commercial vehicle inventory (collateral) is sold and the sales proceeds are collected by the Company. The Company’s Floor Plan Credit Agreement expires July 11, 2016, although BMO Harris has the right to terminate the Floor Plan Credit Agreement at any time upon 120 days’ written notice. The Company may terminate its Floor Plan Credit Agreement at any time, although if it does so it must pay a prepayment processing fee of $300,000, subject to specified limited exceptions. On December 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $628.2 million outstanding under its Floor Plan Credit Agreement.

In June 2012, the Company entered into a wholesale financing agreement with Ford Motor Credit Company that provides for the financing of, and is collateralized by, the Company’s new Ford vehicle inventory. This wholesale financing agreement bears interest at a rate of Prime plus 150 basis points minus certain incentives and rebates; however, the prime rate is defined to be a minimum of 3.75%. As of December 31, 2015, the interest rate on the wholesale financing agreement was 5.25% before considering the applicable incentives. On December 31, 2015, the Company had an outstanding balance of approximately $62.4 million under the Ford Motor Credit Company wholesale financing agreement.

The Company’s weighted average interest rate for floor plan notes payable was 1.47% for the year ended December 31, 2015, and 1.16% for the year ended December 31, 2014, which is net of interest related to prepayments of new and used inventory loans.
