Lawson Loan Agreement

In 2012, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement consisted of a $40.0 million revolving line of credit facility, which included a $10.0 million sub-facility for letters of credit. Certain terms of the original Loan Agreement have been revised by subsequent amendments.

On September 30, 2019, credit available under the Loan Agreement, as amended, was based upon:


a)	85% of the face amount of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable, generally less than 60 days past due, and


b)	the lesser of 60% of the lower of cost or market value of the Company’s eligible inventory, generally inventory expected to be sold within 18 months, or $20.0 million.

The applicable interest rates for borrowings were at the Prime rate or, if the Company elects, the LIBOR rate plus 1.50% to 1.85% based on the Company’s debt to EBITDA ratio. The Loan Agreement was secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all existing assets of the Company. Dividends were restricted to amounts not to exceed $7.0 million annually.

At September 30, 2019, the Company had $1.3 million of borrowings under its revolving line of credit facility. The Company paid interest of $0.5 million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The weighted average interest rate was 4.54% and 3.82% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Commitment Letter

Bolt Supply had a Commitment Letter with BMO Bank of Montreal ("BMO") dated March 30, 2017 which allowed Bolt Supply to access up to $5.5 million Canadian dollars in the form of either an overdraft facility or as commercial letters of credit. The Commitment Letter was cancellable at any time at BMOs sole discretion and was secured by substantially all of Bolt Supply’s assets. It carried an interest rate of the bank's prime rate plus 0.25%. At September 30, 2019, Bolt Supply had $1.2 million Canadian dollars of outstanding borrowings.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with its required debt covenants.

New Credit Agreement

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, on October 11, 2019, the Company entered into a new five-year credit agreement led by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank N.A, as administrative agent and including CIBC Bank USA and Bank of America, N.A. as other lenders. The new credit agreement matures on October 11, 2024 and provides for $100.0 million of revolving commitments. The new credit agreement allows borrowing capacity to increase to $150.0 million subject to meeting certain criteria and additional commitments from its lenders.

Along with certain standard terms and conditions of the new credit agreement, the Company is able to borrow up to a maximum ratio of its EBITDA to net borrowings of 3.25 times, as defined, and a minimum fixed charge ratio, as defined, of 1.15. On October 11, 2019, the Company paid off its previous loans to CIBC Bank USA and BMO.
