| (1) the credit facility matures in August 2028. At the end of the September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the interest rate in effect was 3.60% and 3.16%, respectively, including the effect of interest rate hedging transactions, as described below.
Amended Credit Agreement On August 16, 2023, we entered into a $800 million unsecured committed Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”), which amended and restated the prior $700 million committed Four-Year Revolving Credit Facility Agreement, entered into on October 27, 2020 (the “Prior Agreement”). The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary terms, as well as affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default that are substantially comparable to those in the Prior Agreement. The Borrowings are guaranteed by certain of the Company's subsidiaries, including all significant U.S. subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions), as were borrowings under the Prior Agreement. On June 23, 2023, we entered into the first Amendment to the Prior Agreement to replace the LIBOR-based reference interest rate option with a reference interest rate option based on the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("Term SOFR") plus an applicable credit spread adjustment (subject to a minimum floor of 0.00%). The Amendment did not make any other material changes to the terms and conditions of the Prior Agreement, including the representations and warranties, events of default, affirmative and negative covenants. These amendments are also reflected in the Amended Credit Agreement. The applicable interest rate for borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement is based on Term SOFR plus a spread, which is based on our leverage ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) at the time of a borrowing as follows:
Leverage Ratio | Commitment Fee | ABR Spread | Term Benchmark/ Daily Simple SOFR Spread
<1.00:1.00 | 0.275% | 0.500% | 1.500%
≥ 1.00:1.00 and < 2.00:1.00 | 0.300% | 0.625% | 1.625%
≥ 2.00:1.00 and < 3.00:1.00 | 0.325% | 0.750% | 1.750%
≥ 3.00:1.00 | 0.350% | 1.000% | 2.000%
As of September 30, 2023, the applicable interest rate for borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement was based on one-month term SOFR plus the spread, which was 1.625%. As of September 30, 2023, there was $461 million of borrowings outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2023, we had borrowings available of $339 million, based on our maximum leverage ratio and our Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary terms including affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default. Under the Amended Credit Agreement, we are required to maintain a leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not greater than 3.75 to 1.00, or 4.25 to 1.00 after a significant acquisition. We are also required to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of greater than 3.00 to 1.00. As of September 30, 2023, our leverage ratio was 1.48 to 1.00 (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) and our interest coverage ratio was 13.95 to 1.00. If our leverage ratio exceeds 3.50 to 1.00, then we are restricted in paying dividends to a maximum amount of $40 million in a calendar year. As of September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants. We anticipate continued compliance in each of the next four quarters while continuing to monitor future compliance based on current and future economic conditions. The borrowings are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement. Our ability to borrow additional amounts under the Amended Credit Agreement is conditional upon the absence of any defaults, as well as the absence of any material adverse change (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). On June 14, 2021, we entered into interest rate swap agreements for the period October 17, 2022 through October 27, 2024. These transactions had the effect of fixing the LIBOR portion of the effective interest rate (before addition of the spread) on $350 million of indebtedness, drawn under the Prior Agreement at the rate of 0.838% during the period. Under the terms of these transactions, we paid the fixed rate of 0.838% and the counterparties paid a floating rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate at each monthly calculation date. On June 29, 2023, the Company amended each Swap agreement, in accordance with the practical expedients included in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 848, Reference Rate Reform, to replace the LIBOR Benchmark with a Term SOFR Benchmark. As a result of the amendments, we will pay a fixed blended rate of 0.7683% (plus a credit spread adjustment as defined in the Swap Agreements) through October 27, 2024 on $350 million of borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement and the counterparties will pay a floating rate based on the one-month term SOFR at each monthly calculation date, which on September 18, 2023 was 5.33%. The effective date of the amended Swap agreements was July 17, 2023. As of September 18, 2023, the all-in-rate on the $350M of debt was 2.51%. On October 17, 2022, our interest rate swap agreements that were in effect from December 18, 2017 terminated. These transactions had the effect of fixing the LIBOR portion of the effective interest rate (before addition of the spread) on $350 million of indebtedness drawn under the Credit Agreement at the rate of 2.11% during the period. Under the terms of those transactions, we paid the fixed rate of 2.11% and the counterparties paid a floating rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate at each monthly calculation date. The all-in-rate on the $350 million of debt was 3.735% at the time the swap agreements terminated. The interest rate swaps are accounted for as a hedge of future cash flows, as further described in Note 14. Fair-Value Measurements. No cash collateral was received or pledged in relation to the swap agreements. Indebtedness under the Amended Credit Agreement is ranked equally in right of payment to all unsecured senior debt. Assumed Foreign Bank Debt On August 31, 2023, the Company acquired Heimbach. The Company assumed Heimbach’s bank debt in the amount of $32.7 million. The bank debt is held by several European financial institutions, with fixed interest rates ranging from 0.9% to 2.93% and maturity dates ranging from September 25, 2023 to June 30, 2031. Certain bank agreements allowed for the repayment of the debt upon demand by certain financial institutions in the event of a change in control. Some or all of the assumed bank debt could become due upon notification by any of the financial institutions before the maturity date of the bank agreements. At September 30, 2023, the foreign debt assumed was $29.6 million, of which $27.2 million was classified as Current maturities on long-term debt.
