On January 29, 2021, we entered into the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with Farm Credit West, PCA and Bank of America, N.A. relating to our Credit Agreement dated as of June 14, 2016, First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of August 29, 2016, and Second Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of February 28, 2019 (collectively, the Credit Facility). This Third Amendment, among other things, provides for a five-year extension of the maturity date to January 29, 2026, a $20 million increase in the revolving commitment to $100 million (from $80 million) (for a total facility size of $150 million if the $50 million accordion is exercised, up from a total size of $130 million), and a 25 basis point increase in the interest rate. The new interest rate schedules are effective mid-June 2021. The weighted-average interest rate under the Credit Facility was 2.8% and 1.9% at April 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020.  Under the Credit Facility, we had $42.3 million and $20.6 million outstanding as April 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020.  In accordance with the extended due date, the outstanding balance of the Credit Facility has been classified to long-term in the accompanying balance sheet as of April 30, 2021.

     The Credit Facility agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for agreements of this type, including the following financial covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis: (a) a quarterly consolidated leverage ratio of not more than 2.50 to 1.00 and (b) a quarterly consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.15 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all financial covenants at April 30, 2021.
