7.Line of Credit:

 

As of December 27, 2014, there was $18.5 million in borrowings outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility with The PrivateBank and Trust Company and BMO Harris Bank N.A. (the “Line of Credit”) bearing interest ranging from 2.41% to 3.25%.

 

During 2012, the Line of Credit was amended to, among other things, provide the consent of the lenders for the payment of the 2012 Special Dividend, to amend certain financial covenant calculations to remove the effect of the 2012 Special Dividend in such calculations, to increase the aggregate commitments from $30.0 million to $35.0 million and extend the termination date from July 31, 2014 to February 29, 2016.  During 2014, the Line of Credit was amended to, among other things, amend certain financial covenant calculations to remove the effect of the 2014 Special Dividend in such calculations, to reduce the applicable margin on the interest rate options, and to extend the termination date from February 29, 2016 to February 28, 2018.

 

The Line of Credit has been and will continue to be used for general corporate purposes.  During 2014 and 2012, the Line of Credit was used to finance in part the 2014 and 2012 Special Dividends (as indicated above).  Borrowings under the Line of Credit are subject to certain borrowing base limitations, and the Line of Credit is secured by a lien against substantially all of the Company’s assets, contains customary financial conditions and covenants, and requires maintenance of minimum levels of debt service coverage and tangible net worth and maximum levels of leverage (all as defined within the Line of Credit).  As of December 27, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants and the Company’s additional borrowing availability under the Line of Credit was $16.5 million. 

 

The Line of Credit allows the Company to choose between three interest rate options in connection with its borrowings.  The interest rate options are the Base Rate, LIBOR and Fixed Rate (all as defined within the Line of Credit) plus an applicable margin as of December 27, 2014, of 0.25%, 2.75% and 2.75%, respectively.  Interest periods for LIBOR borrowings can be one, two or three months, and interest periods for Fixed Rate borrowings can be one, two, three or four years as selected by the Company.  The Line of Credit also provides for non-utilization fees of 0.25% per annum on the daily average of the unused commitment.
