As of March 31, 2015, we had a $325 million secured bank credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent comprised of a $200 million revolving credit facility and a $125 million term loan. The Credit Facility also contains an accordion provision to borrow up to an additional $50 million in revolving loans, subject to certain conditions. The Credit Facility matures on March 31, 2019 and is collateralized by all personal property and funeral home real property in certain states. As of March 31, 2015, we had outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $41.0 million and approximately $118.0 million was outstanding on the term loan. No letters of credit were issued and outstanding under the Credit Facility at March 31, 2015. Under the Credit Facility, outstanding borrowings bear interest at either a prime rate or a LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin based upon the Company's leverage ratio. At March 31, 2015, the prime rate margin was equivalent to 1.50% and the LIBOR margin was 2.50%. The weighted average interest rate on the Credit Facility for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was 2.7%. Borrowings under the term loan facility are subject to installment payments of 7.5% of the principal amount in the first two years following the effective date, 10.0% of the principal amount for the third and fourth years following the effective date and 12.5% of the principal amount per year thereafter, with the remaining balance payable upon maturity on March 31, 2019. Installment payments are made quarterly.
We have no material assets or operations independent of our subsidiaries. All assets and operations are held and conducted by our subsidiaries, each of which have fully and unconditionally guaranteed our obligations under the Credit Facility. Additionally, we do not currently have any significant restrictions on our ability to receive dividends or loans from any subsidiary guarantor under the Credit Facility.
We were in compliance with the covenants contained in the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2015. The Credit Facility contains key ratios that we must comply with including a requirement to maintain a leverage ratio of no more than 3.50 to 1.00 and a covenant to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.20 to 1.00. As of March 31, 2015, the leverage ratio was 2.46 to 1.00 and the fixed charge coverage ratio was 3.15 to 1.00.
Acquisition debt consists of deferred purchase price and promissory notes payable to sellers. The increase in acquisition debt of $4.2 million from December 31, 2014 was due primarily to the deferred payments related to the funeral home acquisition in February 2015. Refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements herein for further discussion concerning this acquisition. A majority of the notes bear interest ranging from 7.0% to 11.0%. A few notes bear interest at 0% and are discounted at imputed interest rates ranging from 8.5% to 11.0%. Original maturities range from five to twenty years.
