On July 13, 2018, we entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., PNC Bank, N.A., KeyBank, N.A. and HSBC Bank USA, N.A. (“Revolving Credit Facility”). The agreement provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $300.0 million with an option, subject to lender approval, to increase the amount to $450.0 million, and matures in five years. Included in our agreement is a $30.0 million sub-limit for Swingline loans and a $125.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit. At December 29, 2019, $37.1 million was utilized as a draw on the facility, which included a $17.1 million Swingline loan, and $6.2 million was utilized by outstanding standby letters of credit, leaving $256.7 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility for additional borrowings. At December 30, 2018, $80.0 million was utilized as a draw on the facility.
Under the terms of the agreement, we pay a variable rate of interest on funds borrowed under the revolving line of credit in excess of the Swingline loans, based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable spread between 1.25% and 2.50%. Alternatively, at our option, we may pay interest based on a base rate plus an applicable spread between 0.25% and 1.50%. The base rate is the greater of the prime rate (as announced by Bank of America), the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. The applicable spread is determined by the consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement. At December 29, 2019, the applicable spread on LIBOR was 1.25% and the index rate was 1.69%, resulting in an interest rate of 2.94%.
Under the terms of the agreement, we are required to pay a variable rate of interest on funds borrowed under the Swingline loan based on the base rate plus applicable spread between 0.25% and 1.50%, as described above. At December 29, 2019, the applicable spread on the base rate was 0.25% and the base rate was 4.75%, resulting in an interest rate of 5.00%.
A commitment fee between 0.250% and 0.375% is applied against the Revolving Credit Facility’s unused borrowing capacity, with the specific rate determined by the consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement. Letters of credit are priced at a margin between 1.00% and 2.25%, plus a fronting fee of 0.50%. Obligations under the agreement are guaranteed by TrueBlue and material U.S. domestic subsidiaries, and are secured by substantially all of the assets of TrueBlue and material U.S. domestic subsidiaries. The agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, financial covenants based on our leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios, as defined in the credit agreement. We are currently in compliance with all covenants related to the Revolving Credit Facility.
