Term Loans On October 24, 2016 the Company repaid its outstanding term loans with Ridgestone Bank totaling $7,068. The early repayment of these loans resulted in of a 3% pre-payment penalty. The Company’s term loans had a maturity date of September 29, 2029. The interest rate in effect on the term loans was 5.5% at the date of repayment. Revolvers On September 16, 2013, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit facility with PNC Bank National Association and certain other lenders named therein. This credit facility consists of a Revolving Credit Agreement dated September 16, 2013 among the Company, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, PNC Bank National Association, as lender and as administrative agent, and the other lenders named therein (the “Revolving Credit Agreement” or “Revolver”). The Revolver has an expiration date of September 16, 2018 and provides for borrowing of up to an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $90,000 with an accordion feature that gives the Company the option to increase the maximum seasonal financing availability subject to the conditions of the Revolving Credit Agreement and subject to the approval of the lenders. The Revolver imposes a seasonal borrowing limit such that borrowings under this facility may not exceed $60,000 from the period June 30 th through October 31 st of each year under the agreement. The Company had no borrowings against the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 29, 2017 or September 30, 2016. The interest rate on the Revolver is based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin resets each quarter and ranges from 1.25% to 2.00% and is dependent on the Company’s leverage ratio for the trailing twelve month period. The interest rate on the Revolver was approximately 2.5% at September 29, 2017 and 1.7% at September 30, 2016. The Revolver is secured with a first priority lien on working capital assets and certain patents and trademarks of the Company and its subsidiaries and a first priority lien on land, buildings, machinery and equipment of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. Under the terms of the Revolver, the Company is required to comply with certain financial and non-financial covenants. The Revolving Credit Agreement limits asset or stock acquisitions to no more than $20,000 in the event that the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio is greater than 2.5 times. No limits are imposed if the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio is less than 2.5 times and the remaining borrowing availability under the Revolver is greater than $10,000 at the time of the acquisition. The Revolving Credit Agreement limits the amount of restricted payments (primarily dividends and repurchases of common stock) made during each fiscal year. The Company may declare, and pay, dividends in accordance with historical practices, but in no event may the aggregate amount of all dividends or repurchases of common stock exceed $10,000 in any fiscal year. The Revolving Credit Agreement restricts the Company’s ability to incur additional debt and includes maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio covenants. Other Borrowings The Company had no unsecured revolving credit facilities at its foreign subsidiaries as of September 29, 2017. The Company utilizes letters of credit primarily as security for the payment of future claims under its workers’ compensation insurance which totaled $279 and $392 at September 29, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. The Company had no unsecured lines of credit as of September 29, 2017 or September 30, 2016. The weighted average borrowing rate for short-term debt was approximately 2.5%, 1.7% and 1.4% for 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and maturities, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt approximated its carrying value as of September 30, 2016. See Note 4 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosures regarding the fair value. Under the Company’s Revolving Credit Agreement, a change in control of the Company would constitute an event of default. A change in control would be deemed to have occurred if, among other events described in the terms of the Credit Agreement, a person or group other than the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Helen P. Johnson-Leipold, members of her family and related entities (hereinafter the Johnson Family) became or obtain rights as a beneficial owner (as interpreted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of a certain percentage of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, if the Johnson Family ceases to own (without lien or encumbrance) at least a certain percentage of the shares of capital stock of the Company with voting power or if the members of the Company’s Board of Directors as of the date of the Credit Agreement (together with any new directors elected to the Board who were also approved for appointment by the then serving directors) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors. At October 30, 2017, the Johnson Family held 3,832,267 shares or approximately 44% of the Class A common stock, 1,211,196 shares or approximately 99.9% of the Class B common stock and approximately 77% of the voting power of both classes of common stock taken as a whole. On November 15, 2017, the Company entered into a new unsecured revolving credit facility, which replaced the Revolving Credit Agreement described above. See Note 14 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the new agreement.
