Note 7. Debt and Financing Arrangements

On April 3, 2018, we amended and restated our $400 million unsecured credit facility (the “2018 credit facility”), by and among CBIZ Operations, Inc., CBIZ, Inc., and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and bank, and other participating banks. The 2018 credit facility amends the previous credit agreement (the “2014 credit facility”), dated as of July 28, 2014, as amended by the First Amendment to credit agreement, dated as of April 10, 2015, and as amended by the Second Amendment to credit agreement, dated as of November 3, 2015.

The 2018 credit facility extends the maturity date from 2019 to 2023, and continues to provide for a $400 million revolving loan commitment. The 2018 credit facility improves our borrowing margin related to leverage ratio and increases the flexibility of certain covenant baskets, as compared to the 2014 credit facility. This amendment and restatement had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The credit facility provides us with the capital necessary to meet our working capital needs as well as the flexibility to continue with our strategic initiatives, including business acquisitions and share repurchases. In addition to the discussion below, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for additional details of our debt and financing arrangements.
