Revolving Credit Facility

We have a revolving credit facility that we entered into in April 2018 with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (“the Agent”), and certain other financial institutions party thereto. On August 2, 2021, we entered into a second amendment to the facility to, among other things, extend the maturity date of the facility to August 2, 2026, and reduce the interest rate on borrowings under the facility (as amended, the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

The Revolving Credit Facility includes a committed senior secured asset-based revolving loan and letter of credit facility of up to $600.0 million, and an uncommitted accordion feature that permits us to increase the facility by an aggregate additional principal amount of up to $150.0 million. Our obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a security interest in substantially all of our assets other than real property.

Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25 percent to 1.75 percent, with the amount of such margin determined based upon the average of our excess availability for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter as calculated by the administrative agent, for loans based on LIBOR, or (ii) the administrative agent’s base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25 percent to 0.75 percent, with the amount of such margin determined based upon the average of our excess availability for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter as calculated by the administrative agent, for loans based on the base rate.

As of October 2, 2021, we had outstanding borrowings of $223.1 million and excess availability of $351.9 million under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of January 2, 2021, we had outstanding borrowings of $288.2 million and excess availability of $184.3 million under our Revolving Credit Facility. Our average effective interest rate under the facility was 2.0 percent and 2.8 percent for the quarters ended October 2, 2021 and January 2, 2021, respectively. For the quarter ended September 26, 2020, our average effective interest rate under the Revolving Credit Facility was 2.7 percent.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain financial and other covenants, and our right to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility is conditioned upon, among other things, our compliance with these covenants. We were in compliance with all covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility as of October 2, 2021.

On October 25, 2021, we closed a private offering of $300.0 million at 6.0% senior secured notes to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers,” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“The Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States under Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2029 Notes were issued to investors at 98.625% of their principal amount and will mature on November 15, 2029. The majority of

net proceeds from the offering of the senior secured notes were used to repay borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. In conjunction with this offering, we reduced the limit of the Revolving Credit Facility from $600.0 million to $350.0 million.

Term Loan Facility

As of January 2, 2021, we had outstanding borrowings of $43.2 million under our Term Loan Facility. On April 2, 2021, we repaid the remaining outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan Facility, and, as a result, as of October 2, 2021, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility, which has been extinguished. In connection with our repayment of the outstanding principal balance in full on April 2, 2021, we expensed $5.8 million of debt issuance costs during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 that we had been amortizing in connection with our former Term Loan Facility. These costs are included within interest expense, net, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and reported separately as an adjustment to net income in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Our average interest rate under the facility, exclusive of fees and prepayment premiums, was approximately 8.0 percent for the quarter ended January 2, 2021.

Finance Lease Obligations

Our finance lease liabilities consist of leases related to equipment and vehicles, and real estate, with the majority of those finance leases related to real estate. For more information on our finance lease obligations, refer to Note 9, Leases.
