On November 5, 2021, the Company, its subsidiaries Crawford & Company Risk Services Investments Limited (the "U.K. Borrower"), Crawford & Company (Canada) Inc. (the "Canadian Borrower") and Crawford & Company (Australia) Pty. Ltd. (the "Australian Borrower") (the Company, together with such subsidiaries, as borrowers (the "Borrowers")), Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and a lender ("Bank of America"), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and Truist Bank as co-syndication agents and lenders, HSBC Bank USA, National Association and PNC Bank, N.A., as co-documentation agents and lenders, and the other lenders party thereto, entered into a Credit Facility (the "Credit Facility"), which replaced our prior agreement, dated as of December 8, 2011, by and among, inter alia, the Borrowers, Wells Fargo and the other lenders from time to time party thereto, as subsequently amended. In connection with the Credit Facility, the Company, the Company’s guarantor subsidiaries party thereto and Bank of America entered into an Security and Pledge Agreement (the "Security and Pledge Agreement") and a Guaranty Agreement (the "Guaranty Agreement"), each dated as of the date of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility consists of a $450,000,000 revolving credit facility, with a letter of credit sub-commitment of $125,000,000. The Credit Facility contains sublimits of $250,000,000 for borrowings by the U.K. Borrower, $125,000,000 for borrowings by the Canadian Borrower, and $75,000,000 for borrowings by the Australian Borrower. The Credit Facility matures, and all amounts outstanding thereunder, will be due and payable on November 5, 2026. Borrowings under the Credit Facility may be made in U.S. dollars, Euros, the currencies of Canada, Japan, Australia or United Kingdom and, subject to the terms of the Credit Facility, other currencies. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the option of the applicable Borrower, based on the Base Rate (as defined below) or a Eurocurrency Rate or an alternative reference rate, in each case plus an applicable interest margin based on the Company's leverage ratio (as defined below), provided that borrowings in foreign currencies may bear interest based on alternative reference rate. The Credit Facility defines Benchmark Replacement to encompass accepted alternative reference rates when the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) is no longer quoted. The Credit Facility define s alternative reference rates for non-U.S. Dollar currencies as Alternative Currency Term Rates or Alternative Currency Daily Rates. The interest margin for Eurocurrency Rate or alternative reference rate loans ranges from 1.00% to 1.625% and for Base Rate loans ranges from 0.00% to 0.625%. Base Rate is defined as the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 0.50%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America as its “prime rate” and (c) the Eurocurrency rate plus 1.00%, subject to interest rate floors, with a minimum rate of zero. The weighted average interest rates under our Credit Facility were 3.3%, 2.2%, and 2.8% for the years ending December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. At December 31, 2022, a total of $211,810,000 was outstanding and there was an undrawn amount of $8,777,000 under the letters of credit sub-commitment of the Credit Facility. These letter of credit commitments were for the Company's own obligations. Including the amounts committed under the letters of credit sub-commitment, the available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility totaled $205,235,000 at December 31, 2022. The obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by each existing material domestic subsidiary of the Company, certain other domestic subsidiaries of the Company and certain existing material foreign subsidiaries of the Company that are disregarded entities for U.S. income tax purposes (each such foreign subsidiary, a "Disregarded Foreign Subsidiary"), and such obligations are required to be guaranteed by each subsequently acquired or formed material domestic subsidiary and Disregarded Foreign Subsidiary (each, a "Guarantor"), and the obligations of the Borrowers other than the Company ("Foreign Borrowers") for which the Company is not the primary obligor are also guaranteed by the Company. In addition, (i) the Borrowers’ obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien (subject to liens permitted by the Credit Facility) on substantially all of the personal property of the Company and the Guarantors as set forth in the Security and Pledge Agreement and (ii) the obligations of the Foreign Borrowers are secured by a first priority lien on 100% of the capital stock of the Foreign Borrowers. The representations, covenants and events of default in the Credit Facility are customary for financing transactions of this nature, including required compliance with a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio (each as defined below). Under the Credit Facility, the consolidated total leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of (i) consolidated total funded debt minus unrestricted cash (generally cash held in the U.S., U.K., Canada and Australia) to (ii) consolidated EBITDA, must not be greater 4.50 to 1.00 at the end of each fiscal quarter. Also, the consolidated interest coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA to (b) consolidated interest expense, must not be less than 2.50 to 1.00 for the four-quarter period ending at the end of each fiscal quarter. At December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the Credit Facility. If the Company does not meet the covenant requirements in the future, it would be in default under the Credit Facility. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders may terminate the loan commitments, accelerate all loans and exercise any of their rights under the Credit Facility and ancillary loan documents. Short-term borrowings under the Credit Facility totaled $26,966,000 and $10,616,000 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company expects, but is not required, to repay all of such short-term borrowings at December 31, 2022 in 2023. The Company's finance leases are primarily comprised of equipment leases with terms ranging from 24 to 60 months. Interest expense, including amortization of capitalized loan costs, on the Company's short-term and long-term borrowings was $10,966,000, $6,983,000, and $8,187,000 for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
