Revolving Credit Facilities
Revolving Credit Facilities
On August 4, 2006, we entered into our U.S. revolving credit facility, as later amended, with several lenders including Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The U.S. revolving credit facility has a final maturity of April 15, 2016, and maximum available credit of $467.5 million, which includes the $20.0 million Tranche A Loan, the maturity date of which is described below. The U.S. revolving credit facility also includes an additional $75.0 million uncommitted accordion credit facility, which permits us to increase the maximum available credit up to $542.5 million. Amounts outstanding under the U.S. revolving credit facility are secured on a first priority basis, by substantially all of our personal property and trade fixtures, including all accounts receivable, general intangibles, inventory, and equipment.
On August 14, 2014, we amended our U.S. revolving credit facility, extending the final maturity date of the Tranche A Loan to June 30, 2015, and adjusting the credit limits of the loan to step down the available credit by $2.0 million per month beginning April 1, 2015, unless the principal payments cause excess availability to become less than $50.0 million, or an event of default exists.
As of January 3, 2015, we had outstanding borrowings of $225.6 million and excess availability of $58.5 million under the terms of the U.S. revolving credit facility.  The interest rate on the U.S. revolving credit facility was 3.9% at January 3, 2015.  
Our subsidiary BlueLinx Canada has the Canadian revolving credit facility with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce due upon the the earlier of August 12, 2016, or the maturity date of the U.S. revolving credit facility. The Canadian revolving credit facility has a maximum available credit of $10.0 million. The Canadian revolving credit facility also provides for an additional $5.0 million uncommitted accordion credit facility, which permits us to increase the maximum available credit up to $15.0 million.
As of January 3, 2015, we had outstanding borrowings of $4.0 million and excess availability of $1.0 million under the terms of our Canadian revolving credit facility. The interest rate on the Canadian revolving credit facility was 4.0% at January 3, 2015.
Our U.S. and Canadian revolving credit facilities contain customary negative covenants and restrictions for asset based loans. The only covenant we deem material is a requirement that we maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0 in the event our excess availability under the U.S. revolving credit facility falls below the greater of $33.2 million during the time the Tranche A Loan is outstanding, and $31.8 million at all times thereafter; or the amount equal to 12.5% of the lesser of the borrowing base or $467.5 million during the time the Tranche A Loan is outstanding, and $447.5 million at all times thereafter. We do not anticipate that our excess availability will drop below the Excess Availability Threshold as defined in the U.S. revolving credit facility agreement in the foreseeable future; however, if we did fall below this threshold, we currently would not meet the required fixed charge coverage ratio. We are in compliance with all covenants under these revolving credit facilities.
