Secured Revolving Credit Facility The Company is party to a revolving credit facility (the “Secured Revolving Credit Facility”) with Inwood National Bank, which provides for an aggregate commitment amount of $35.0 million. Amounts outstanding under the Secured Revolving Credit Facility are secured by mortgages on real property and security interests in certain personal property (to the extent that such personal property is connected with the use and enjoyment of the real property) that is owned by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. The entire unpaid principal balance and any accrued but unpaid interest is due and payable on the maturity date. On February 9, 2022, the Company entered into the Eighth Amendment to this credit agreement to extend its maturity date to May 1, 2025 and to reduce the minimum interest rate from 4.00% to 3.15%. All other material terms of the credit agreement, as amended, remained unchanged. As of December 31, 2023, we had no letters of credit outstanding to reduce the aggregate maximum commitment amount of $35.0 million. Outstanding borrowings under the amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility bear interest payable monthly at a floating rate per annum equal to the rate announced by Bank of America, N.A., from time to time, as its “Prime Rate” (the “Index”) with such adjustments to the interest rate being made on the effective date of any change in the Index, less 0.25%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest may not, at any time, be less than 3.15% per annum or more than the lesser amount of 18% and the highest maximum rate allowed by applicable law. The Secured Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base limitation equal to the sum of 50% of the total value of land and 65% of the total value of lots owned by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, each as determined by an independent appraiser, with the value of land being restricted from being more than 65% of the borrowing base. The amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility is also subject to a non-usage fee equal to 0.25% of the average unfunded amount of the commitment amount over a trailing 12 month period. No fees or other debt issuance costs were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2023 associated with the Secured Revolving Credit Facility. De minimis fees and other issuance costs were incurred during each of the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 associated with the Secured Revolving Credit Facility amendment. These costs are deferred and reduce the carrying amount of debt in our consolidated balance sheets. The Company subjects these costs to analysis for capitalization to inventory over the term of the Secured Revolving Credit Facility using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest rate method for our senior unsecured notes and notes payable. Under the terms of the amended Secured Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is required, among other things, to maintain minimum multiples of tangible net worth in excess of the outstanding Secured Revolving Credit Facility balance, minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage. The Company was in compliance with these financial covenants under the Secured Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2023. Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility The Company is party to a credit agreement, providing for a senior, unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility”). On December 8, 2023, the Company entered into the Eleventh Amendment to this credit agreement which was amended to revise certain financial covenants in order to appropriately reflect the Company’s size and growth. The Eleventh Amendment also extends the maturity of $300.0 million of the commitments under the credit facility through December 14, 2026, with the remaining $25.0 million commitment expiring December 14, 2025. Outstanding advances under the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest at the benchmark rate plus 2.5%. Interest on amounts borrowed under the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility is payable in arrears on a monthly basis. The Company pays the lenders a commitment fee on the amount of the unused commitments on a monthly basis at a rate per annum equal to 0.45%. Outstanding borrowings under the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility are subject to, among other things, a borrowing base. The borrowing base limitation is equal to the sum of: 100% of unrestricted cash in excess of $15.0 million; 85% of the book value of model homes, construction in progress homes, completed sold and speculative homes (subject to certain limitations on the age and number of speculative homes and model homes); 65% of the book value of finished lots and land under development; and 50% of the book value of entitled land (subject to certain limitations on the value of entitled land and land under development as a percentage of the borrowing base). Fees and other debt issuance costs of $0.6 million, $0.7 million and $2.8 million were incurred during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, associated with the amendments, term extensions and increases in lenders’ commitments. These costs are deferred and reduce the carrying amount of debt in our consolidated balance sheets. The Company capitalizes these costs to inventory over the term of the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest rate method for our senior unsecured notes and notes payable. Under the terms of the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is required to maintain compliance with various financial covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio, and a minimum consolidated tangible net worth. The Company was in compliance with these financial covenants under the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2023. Senior Unsecured Notes Senior unsecured notes, net of debt issuance costs, as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 consisted of the following (in thousands):
| December 31, 2023 |  | December 31, 2022
4.00% senior unsecured notes due in 2026 (“2026 Notes”) | $ | 75,000 |  |  | $ | 75,000 |
3.35% senior unsecured notes due in 2027 (“2027 Notes”) | 37,500 |  |  | 37,500 |
3.25% senior unsecured notes due in 2028 (“2028 Notes”) | 125,000 |  |  | 125,000 |
3.25% senior unsecured notes due in 2029 (“2029 Notes”) | 100,000 |  |  | 100,000 |
Debt issuance costs, net of amortization | (1,293) |  |  | (1,675) |
Total senior unsecured notes, net | $ | 336,207 |  |  | $ | 335,825 |
The Senior Unsecured Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by the Company’s significant subsidiaries and certain other subsidiaries. The Senior Unsecured Notes will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. Optional prepayment of each of the Notes is allowed with a payment of a “make-whole” penalty which fluctuates depending on market interest rates. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. 2026 Notes On August 8, 2019, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Prudential Private Capital to issue $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due on August 8, 2026 at a fixed rate of 4.00% per annum in a Section 4(a)(2) private placement transaction. The Company received net proceeds of $73.3 million and incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $1.7 million that were deferred and reduced the amount of debt on our consolidated balance sheet.
