Common Unit Repurchase Plans and Retirement | 4) Common Unit Repurchase Plans and Retirement In July 2012, the Board adopted a plan to repurchase certain of the Company’s Common Units (the “Repurchase Plan”). Prior to February 2018, the Company had repurchased approximately 2.7 million Common Units under the Repurchase Plan. In February 2018, the Board authorized an increase of the number of Common Units that remained available for the Company to repurchase from 2.2 million to a total of 5.5 million. In August 2018, the Board authorized a further increase of the number of Common Units that are available for the Company to repurchase from 3.0 million to a total of 5.55 million, of which, 3.05 million were available for repurchase in open market transactions and 2.5 million were available for repurchase in privately-negotiated transactions. The Company repurchased approximately 2.8 million Common Units in in fiscal year 2018, and 5.4 million total Common Units remain available for repurchase at the end of the fiscal year 2018. There is no guarantee of the exact number of units that will be purchased under the program and the Company may discontinue purchases at any time. The program does not have a time limit. The Board may also approve additional purchases of units from time to time in private transactions. The Company’s repurchase activities take into account SEC safe harbor rules and guidance for issuer repurchases. All of the Common Units purchased in the repurchase program will be retired. Under the Company’s fourth amended and restated credit agreement dated July 2, 2018, in order to repurchase Common Units we must maintain Availability (as defined in the amended and restated credit agreement) of $45 million, 15.0% of the facility size of $300 million (assuming the non-seasonal aggregate commitment is outstanding) on a historical pro forma and forward-looking basis, and a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.15 measured as of the date of repurchase. The following table shows repurchases under the Repurchase Plan.
