On
March 1, 2017,
we entered into a
five
-year agreement (the “Credit Facility”) for an
$80,000,000
revolving line of credit (“Line of Credit”), a
$20,000,000
term loan (“Term Loan”) and up to
$2,500,000
of letters of credit with a banking syndicate of
four
banks. In addition, the Credit Facility provides a post-closing accordion feature which allows for the Company to request to increase the Line of Credit or Term Loan up to an additional
$100,000,000.
Funds from the Credit Facility
may
be used to pay down its previous credit facility, finance working capital needs and for general corporate purposes in the ordinary course of business (including, without limitation, permitted acquisitions).
 
Line of Credit and Term Loan indebtedness bears interest at either: (
1
) LIBOR, as defined, plus an applicable margin ranging from
1.5%
to
2.50%;
or (
2
) the alternate base rate (“ABR”), which is the greater of JPMorgan’s prime rate or the federal funds effective rate or the overnight bank funding rate plus
0.5%.
We elect the interest rate with each borrowing under the line of credit. In addition, there is an unused line fee of
0.15%
to
0.35%.
Letter of credit fees are based on the applicable LIBOR rate.
 
The Term Loan requires
20
quarterly principal payments (the
first
due date was
March 31, 2017)
in the amount of
$250,000
(increasing by
$125,000
each year up to
$750,000
in the
fifth
year). The remaining balance of principal and accrued interest are due on
March 1, 2022.
 
The Credit Facility is secured by all of our assets and requires us to maintain a ratio of funded debt to our trailing
four
quarters of EBIDTA (the “Leverage Ratio”), as defined in the agreement, of less than
3.0
to
1.0,
provided that, we
may
once during the term of the Credit Facility, in connection with a Permitted Acquisition for which the aggregate consideration paid or to be paid in respect thereof equals or exceeds
$20,000,000,
elect to increase the maximum Leverage Ratio permitted hereunder to (i) 
3.50
to
1.00
for a period of
four
consecutive fiscal quarters commencing with the fiscal quarter in which such Permitted Acquisition occurs (the “Initial Holiday Period”) and (ii) 
3.25
to
1.00
for the period of
four
consecutive fiscal quarters immediately following the Initial Holiday Period. The Credit Facility also requires us to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of less than
1.25
to
1.0.
We were in compliance with the required covenants at
March 31, 2018.
 
We incurred origination and debt issuance costs of
$460,000
which are treated as a debt discount and are netted against amounts outstanding on the consolidated balance sheets.
 
Future contractual maturities of debt as of
March 31, 2018
are as follows (in thousands):
 
Year ending March 31,
       
2019
  $
1,625,000
 
2020

2021
   
2,625,000
 
2022
   
40,250,000
 
    $
46,625,000
 
Subsequent to
March 31, 2018,
we made
$3,000,000
in payments under the Line of Credit.
