| (1) the credit facility matures in August 2028. At the end of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the interest rate in effect was 2.50% and 3.49%, 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 matures in August of 2028. 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, 2024, the applicable interest rate for borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement was based on one-month term SOFR plus the spread, which was 1.50%. As of September 30, 2024, there was $360 million of borrowings outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement and we had borrowings available of $440 million, based on our maximum leverage ratio and our Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). 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. If our leverage ratio exceeds 3.50 to 1.00, we will be restricted in paying dividends to a maximum amount of $40 million in a calendar year. As of September 30, 2024, our leverage ratio was 0.99 to 1.00 and our interest coverage ratio was 15.39 to 1.00. As of September 30, 2024, 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, including all significant U.S. subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions), 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). Interest Rate Swaps From time to time, the Company enters into interest rate swap contracts to manage the interest rate risk associated with its outstanding variable-interest rate borrowings. Such contracts are intended to economically hedge the reference rate component of future interest payments associated with outstanding borrowings under the Company’s Amended Credit Agreement. In 2021, we entered into interest rate swap agreements for the period of October 17, 2022 through October 27, 2024, to hedge $350 million of variable-interest rate indebtedness. The interest rate swaps are accounted for as a hedge of future cash flows, as further described in Note 15, Fair-Value Measurements. No cash collateral was received or pledged in relation to the swap agreements. As of September 30, 2024, the all-in rate on the $350 million of debt was 2.38%. Upon the expiration of the interest rate swap on October 28, 2024, our interest cost will increase significantly. Beginning in October 2024, our interest cost will be calculated using a floating rate based on the one-month term SOFR.
