On November 18, 2022, the Company entered into a 5-year, $1.25 billion credit agreement, consisting of a $750.0 million term loan and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2022 Credit Agreement”). Initial proceeds from the 2022 Credit Agreement were received at the time of Separation from Fortune Brands and were used to fund the dividend paid to Fortune Brands, with any future proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes. The 2022 Credit Agreement is secured by certain assets as well as the guarantee of certain of our subsidiaries. The $750.0 million Term Loan has quarterly required amortization payments that began in March 2023. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $480.2 million of availability under its revolving credit facility.

Debt issuance costs related to the 2022 Credit Agreement were $10.1 million upon inception of the agreement and are being amortized over the term of the debt. At December 25, 2022, $0.8 million was included in other current assets, $3.2 million is included in other assets, $1.3 million is included in the current portion of long-term debt and $4.8 million is included in long-term debt in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2023, unamortized debt issuance costs totaled $8.0 million of which $0.9 million was included in other current assets, $2.4 million was included in other assets, $1.2 million was included in the current portion of long-term debt and $3.5 million was included in long-term debt in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company made total payments of $28.1 million on the term loan, consisting of a $4.7 million required payment due September 2023, and $23.4 million of required amortization payments due during each of the next three quarters. We did not make any additional term loan payments during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, and as of December 31, 2023 we are paid in advance for our next two scheduled quarterly payments due during the first and second quarters of 2024. Total amounts outstanding under the term loan as of December 31, 2023 and December 25, 2022 were $712.5 million and $750.0 million, respectively. Additionally, the revolving credit facility was paid in full during the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The revolving credit facility did not have an outstanding balance as of December 31, 2023, as compared to a balance of $235.0 million at December 25, 2022.
Interest rates under these facilities are variable based on the SOFR at the time of the borrowing, and the Company’s net leverage ratio as measured by net leverage to our Consolidated EBITDA. Interest rates can range from SOFR plus 1.85 percent to SOFR plus 2.60 percent. Net leverage is defined as consolidated total indebtedness minus certain cash and cash equivalents. Consolidated EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, losses from asset impairments, and certain other one-time adjustments. The net leverage ratio may not exceed 3.875 to 1.0 at the initial borrowing through the second fiscal quarter of 2023, adjusting downward in various future quarters before settling at 3.25 to 1.0 in January 2025. As of December 31, 2023, the net leverage ratio may not exceed 3.75 to 1.0. The Company also is required to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio, defined as Consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense, of 3.0 to 1.0.

The Company’s 2022 Credit Agreement contains additional covenants which limit or preclude certain corporate actions based upon the measurement of certain financial covenant metrics. The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of December 31, 2023 and December 25, 2022.

Over the next five years, debt due to be paid by the Company is as follows:

Interest paid on debt was $64.0 million and $0.3 million in 2023 and 2022, respectively. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we incurred indebtedness in connection with the Separation and Distribution, which resulted in the recognition of interest expense. Prior to the Separation, we had no third-party borrowings. We did not record any material capitalized interest during 2023, 2022, or 2021.
