In August 2021, the Company entered into an equipment finance agreement (the "FCW term loan") with Farm Credit West, PCA (the “Lender”) and used the proceeds to pay off the Wells Fargo term loan. The FCW term loan has a fixed interest rate of 3.19% and is payable in monthly installments through September 2026. There were no unamortized debt financing costs related to the Wells Fargo term loan and no capitalized financing costs related to the FCW term loan. In June 2021, the Company entered into a Master Loan Agreement (the “MLA”) with Lender dated June 1, 2021, together with a revolving credit facility supplement (the “Revolving Credit Supplement”), a non-revolving credit facility supplement (the “Non-Revolving Credit Supplement,” and together with the Revolving Credit Supplement, the “Supplements”) and an agreement to convert to fixed interest rate for a period of time as described in the table above ("Fixed Interest Rate Agreement"). The MLA governs the terms of the Supplements. The MLA amends and restates the previous Master Loan Agreement between the Company and the Lender, dated June 19, 2017 and extends the principal repayment to July 1, 2026. Debt financing costs related to the MLA agreement were immaterial. 12. Long-Term Debt (continued) In June 2020, the Company and Farm Credit West entered into a Conversion Agreement to convert the term loans noted above to fixed interest rate loans effective July 1, 2020. No changes were made to the outstanding principal balances on the term loans and the Company made no cash repayments of principal. The rates were subject to a prepayment restriction period for a portion of the fixed rate term that expired on January 1, 2021. The Company may prepay any amounts without penalty. In March 2020, the Company entered into a revolving equity line of credit promissory note and loan agreement with Farm Credit West for a $15,000,000 Revolving Equity Line of Credit (the "RELOC") secured by a first lien on the Windfall Investors, LLC property. The RELOC matures in 2043 and features a 3-year draw period followed by 20 years of fully amortized loan payments. The interest rate is variable with monthly interest-only payments during the 3-year draw period and monthly principal and interest payments thereafter. The Supplements and RELOC provide aggregate borrowing capacity of $130,000,000 comprised of $75,000,000 under the Revolving Credit Supplement, $40,000,000 under the Non-Revolving Credit Supplement and $15,000,000 under the RELOC. As of October 31, 2021, the Company's outstanding borrowings under the revolving and non-revolving lines of credit were $111,293,000 and it had $18,707,000 of availability. For amounts outstanding under both Supplements, interest will begin to be charged on the date the Lender disburses principal and will continue until the outstanding indebtedness under the Supplements is paid in full with interest. The initial interest rate in effect under the Revolving Credit Supplement was 1.69% per annum, and was automatically adjusted commencing July 1, 2021 and on the first day of each month thereafter. The interest rate for any amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Supplement will be based on the one-month LIBOR rate plus or minus an applicable margin. The applicable margin will range from 1.75% to 2.35% depending on the ratio of current assets, plus the remaining available commitment divided by current liabilities. On July 1, 2022, and on each one-year anniversary thereafter, the Company has the option to convert the interest rate in use under the Revolving Credit Supplement from the preceding LIBOR-based calculation to a variable interest rate. Any amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Supplement will be due and payable in full on July 1, 2026. The Company may prepay any amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Supplement without penalty. The initial interest rate in effect under the Non-Revolving Credit Supplement is a fixed interest rate of 4.77% through July 1, 2022 and then will convert to a fixed interest rate of 3.57% per year until July 1, 2025 (the “Fixed Rate Term”). Thereafter, the interest rate will convert to a variable interest rate established by the Lender corresponding to the corresponding interest rate group. Any amount outstanding under the Non-Revolving Credit Supplement is due and payable in full on July 1, 2026. The Company may not prepay any amounts under the outstanding Non-Revolving Credit Supplement during the Fixed Rate Term. Thereafter, the Company may prepay any amounts outstanding under the Non-Revolving Credit Supplement, provided that a fee equal to 0.50% of the amount prepaid and any other cost or loss suffered by the Lender must be paid with any prepayment. All indebtedness under the MLA and RELOC, including any indebtedness under the Supplements, is secured by a first lien on Company-owned stock or participation certificates, Company funds maintained with Lender, Lender’s unallocated surplus, and certain of the Company’s agricultural properties in Tulare and Ventura counties in California and certain of the Company’s building fixtures and improvements and investments in mutual water companies associated with the pledged agricultural properties. The MLA includes customary default provisions that provide should an event of default occur, the Lender, at its option, may declare all or any portion of the indebtedness under the MLA to be immediately due and payable without demand, notice of nonpayment, protest or prior recourse to collateral, and terminate or suspend the Company’s right to draw or request funds on any loan or line of credit. The MLA subjects the Company to affirmative and restrictive covenants including, among other customary covenants, financial reporting requirements, requirements to maintain and repair any collateral, restrictions on the sale of assets, restrictions on the use of proceeds, prohibitions on the incurrence of additional debt and restrictions on the purchase or sale of major assets of the Company’s business. The Company is also subject to a financial covenant that requires it to maintain compliance with a specified debt service coverage ratio on an annual basis. In December 2021, the Lender modified the covenant to defer measurement at October 31, 2021 and revert to a debt service coverage ratio of 1.25:1.0 measured as of October 31, 2022. The Company received annual cash patronage dividends from Farm Credit West of $1,170,000, $1,566,000 and $853,000 in fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In August 2021, PDA and San Pablo entered into term loan agreements for an aggregate amount of approximately $652,000. These small business loans are guaranteed by the Chilean government in response to economic instability caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The unsecured loans mature in August 2025 and September 2026, bear interest at fixed rates of 3.48% and 4.26%, respectively, and are payable in monthly installments beginning September 2021. 12. Long-Term Debt (continued) In July and September 2020, PDA and San Pablo entered into term loan agreements for an aggregate amount of approximately $522,000. These small business loans are guaranteed by the Chilean government in response to economic instability caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The unsecured loans mature in July 2024 and September 2024, bear interest at fixed rates of 3.48% and are payable in monthly installments beginning February 2021 and April 2021, respectively. Interest is capitalized on non-bearing orchards, real estate development projects and significant construction in progress. The Company capitalized interest of $1,110,000, $921,000 and $1,369,000 during the fiscal years ended 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Capitalized interest is included in property, plant and equipment and real estate development assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company incurs certain loan fees and costs associated with its new or amended credit arrangements. Such costs are capitalized as deferred financing costs and amortized as interest expense using the straight-line method over the terms of the credit agreements. The balance of deferred financing costs was $131,000 and $176,000, net of amortization at October 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and was included in long-term debt on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
