Revolvers

On November 15, 2017, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a new unsecured revolving credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association and Associated Bank, N.A. ("the Lending Group"). This credit facility consists of a $75 million Revolving Credit Facility among the Company, certain of the Company's subsidiaries, PNC Bank National Association, as lender and as administrative agent, and the other lender named therein (the "Credit Agreement" or "Revolver"). The Revolver has an expiration date of November 15, 2022, and provides for borrowing of up to an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $75,000 with a $50,000 accordion feature that gives the Company the option to increase the maximum financing
availability (i.e., an aggregate borrowing amount of $125,000) subject to the conditions of the Credit Agreement and subject to the approval of the lenders.

The interest rate on the Revolver is based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin, which margin resets each quarter. The applicable margin ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% and is dependent on the Company's leverage ratio for the trailing twelve month period. The interest rates on the Revolver were approximately 1.1% at October 2, 2020 and 3.0% at September 27, 2019.

The Credit Agreement restricts the Company's ability to incur additional debt, includes maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio covenants and is unsecured.

Other Borrowings
 
The Company utilizes letters of credit primarily as security for the payment of future claims under its workers’ compensation insurance which totaled $181 and $181 at October 2, 2020 and September 27, 2019, respectively.  The Company had no other unsecured lines of credit as of October 2, 2020 or September 27, 2019.

The weighted average borrowing rate for short-term debt was approximately 1.1%, 3.0% and 3.3% for 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Under the Company’s 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 obtained rights as a beneficial owner (as interpreted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of a certain minimum percentage of the outstanding capital stock of the Company.
