Credit Agreement. On May 31, 2017, the Company and certain of its domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders named therein. In October 2019, we entered into an amendment to the Company’s Credit Agreement to increase the total net leverage covenant during the remaining term of the Credit Agreement while preserving the favorable pricing structure from the original agreement. The Credit Agreement matures on May 31, 2022 and includes (a) revolving loan commitments in an aggregate principal amount of up to $450 million (of which up to $25 million may be in the form of letters of credit at its request) and (b) term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $450 million. Interest on the borrowings under the Credit Agreement is payable based on either (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or (ii) the Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”), as defined in the Credit Agreement, in either case plus an applicable margin and fees which, after the second full fiscal quarter following the closing date, is based upon its total net leverage ratio. The ABR is the greater of (a) the prime rate, (b) the New York Fed Bank Rate plus 50 basis points or (c) adjusted LIBOR, which is computed as the LIBOR Screen Rate at 11:00 AM on such day. The applicable margin varies between 1.25% to 2.0% for LIBOR borrowings and 0.25% to 1.0% for ABR borrowings, depending on the Company’s net leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement requires a total maximum total net leverage of 4.50x with incremental step downs through the maturities of the term loan and the revolving loan.

On May 31, 2017, the Company borrowed $675 million to fund a $650 million cash payment to TEGNA immediately prior to the distribution, to pay fees and expenses related to the Separation and to fund working capital. The term loan requires quarterly amortization payments which commenced on September 30, 2017. Debt issuance costs were $5.5 million and $4.1 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. These debt issuance costs are recorded as a reduction of debt and the debt is accreted using the effective interest method with the amortization recorded in Interest expense, net on the Consolidated and Combined Statements of (Loss) Income.

Debt Guarantors, Collateral, Covenants and Restrictions. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Guarantors and the Company. The Guarantors secured their respective obligations under the Credit Agreement by granting liens in favor of the agent on substantially all of their assets. The terms of the Credit Agreement include representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants (including certain financial covenants) and events of default that are customary for credit facilities of this nature. The negative covenants place restrictions and limitations on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, make distributions or other restricted payments, create liens, make certain equity or debt investments, engage in mergers or consolidations and engage in certain transactions with affiliates. As of December 31, 2019, the Company is in compliance with the covenants under its various credit agreements.

Term Loan. As of December 31, 2019, the outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan were $388.1 million and the interest rate in effect was 4.5%. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company made $28.1 million in quarterly Term Loan payments.

Revolving Loan. As of December 31, 2019, the outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Loan were $260.0 million and the interest rate in effect was 3.7%. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company borrowed $165.0 million to fund the DI Acquisition and $30.0 million to fund share repurchases. The Company also made $30.0 million in voluntary Revolving Loan payments during the year ended December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the Company was permitted to borrow an additional $190.0 million under the Revolving Loan. The Company’s borrowings are limited by its net leverage ratio, which was 3.8 to 1.0 as of December 31, 2019.

Fair Value. The Company’s debt is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and the fair value is measured based on comparable trading prices, ratings, sectors, coupons and maturities of similar instruments. Level 2 assets and liabilities are based on observable inputs other than quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Long-term Debt Maturities. Long-term debt includes future principal payments on long-term borrowings through scheduled maturity dates. Excluded from these amounts are the amortization of debt issuance and other costs related to indebtedness. The Company’s contractual payments at December 31, 2019 under then-outstanding long-term debt agreements in each of the next five calendar years are as follows (in thousands):
