8. | CREDIT FACILITY AND NOTES PAYABLE
CREDIT FACILITY We finance the operations of our subsidiaries ePlus Technology, inc., ePlus Technology Services, inc., and SLAIT Consulting, LLC (collectively, the “Borrowers”) in our technology segment through a credit facility with Wells Fargo Commercial Distribution Finance, LLC (“WFCDF”). The WFCDF credit facility has a floor plan facility and a revolving credit facility. Under the floor plan facility, we had an outstanding balance of $157.7 million and $98.7 million as of December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021, respectively. On our balance sheet, our liability under the floor plan facility is presented as accounts payable – floor plan. Under the revolving credit facility, we had $44.0 million outstanding as of December 31, 2021, and no balance outstanding as of March 31, 2021. On our balance sheet, our liability under the revolving credit facility is presented as part of recourse notes payable – current. The fair value of the outstanding balances under the WFCDF credit facility were approximately equal to their carrying value as of December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021. On October 13, 2021, the Borrowers amended, restated, and replaced in entirety their then-existing credit agreements with WFCDF. The new credit facility is established by a syndicate of banks for which WFCDF acts as administrative agent and consists of a discretionary senior secured floorplan facility in favor of the Borrowers in the aggregate principal amount of up to $375 million, an increase from $275 million, together with a sublimit for a revolving credit facility for up to $100 million (collectively, the “2021 Credit Facility”). The amount of principal available is subject to a borrowing base determined by, among other things, the Borrowers’ accounts receivable and inventory, each pursuant to a formula and subject to certain reserves. Loans accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 1.75%. The LIBOR rate is based upon one-month, three-month, six-month and 12-month LIBOR periods, as selected by the Borrowers, and subject to a floor of 0.00%. Our borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facility are secured by the assets of the Borrowers. Additionally, the 2021 Credit Facility requires a guaranty of $10.5 million by ePlus inc. Under the 2021 Credit Facility, and under the predecessor WFCDF credit facility, the Borrowers are restricted in their ability to pay dividends to ePlus inc. unless their available borrowing meets or met certain thresholds. As of December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021, their available borrowing met the thresholds such that there were no restrictions on their ability to pay dividends. The 2021 Credit Facility has an initial one-year term, which automatically renews for successive one-year terms thereafter. However, either the Borrowers or WFCDF may terminate by providing a written termination notice to the other party no less than 90 days prior to such termination. RECOURSE NOTES PAYABLE Recourse notes payable consist of borrowings that, in the event of default, the lender has recourse against us. As of December 31, 2021, we had $58.8 million in recourse borrowings consisting of $44.0 million outstanding under our revolving WFCDF credit facility, and $14.8 million arising from one installment payment arrangement within our technology segment. Our payments under this installment agreement are due quarterly in amounts that are correlated to the payments due to us from a customer under a related notes receivable. We discounted our payments due under this installment agreement to calculate our payable balance using an interest rate of 3.50% as of both December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021. NON-RECOURSE NOTES PAYABLE Non-recourse notes payable consists of borrowings that, in the event of a default by a customer, the lender generally only has recourse against the customer, and the assets serving as collateral, but not against us. As of December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021, we had $43.6 million and $56.1 million, respectively, of non-recourse borrowings that were collateralized by investments in notes and leases. Principal and interest payments are generally due in amounts that are approximately equal to the total payments due from the customer under the leases or notes receivable that collateralize the notes payable. The weighted average interest rate for our non-recourse notes payable was 3.68% and 3.35%, as of December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021, respectively.
