On March 16, 2020, we entered into a first amendment to our 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. dated as of July 13, 2018 (the “Amendment,” the existing credit agreement as amended by the Amendment, the “Credit Agreement,” and the revolving credit facility established thereunder, the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Amendment extended the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility to March 16, 2025, and modified certain other terms.
The Credit 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 the Credit Agreement is a $30.0 million sub-limit for Swingline loans and a $125.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit. At March 29, 2020, $293.5 million was drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility, which included a $10.0 million Swingline loan, and $6.2 million of standby letters of credit, leaving $0.3 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility for additional borrowings. At December 29, 2019, $37.1 million was drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility, which included a $17.1 million Swingline loan.
Under the terms of the Credit 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), or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%. The applicable spread is determined by the consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement. At March 29, 2020, the applicable spread on LIBOR was 1.25% and the weighted average index rate was 1.00%, resulting in a weighted average interest rate of 2.25%.
Under the terms of the Credit 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 March 29, 2020, the applicable spread on the base rate was 0.25% and the base rate was 3.25%, resulting in an interest rate of 3.50%.
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 Credit 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 Credit 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. The leverage coverage ratio is our funded indebtedness divided by trailing twelve months consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, and we are required to maintain a ratio of less than 3.0. The fixed charge coverage ratio is trailing twelve months bank-adjusted cash flow divided by cash interest expense which is required to be greater than 1.25. As of March 29, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants related to the Revolving Credit Facility as our leverage coverage ratio was 2.7 and our fixed charge coverage ratio was 40.8. If we continue to experience significant revenue declines, which is likely to occur, we would not meet one or more of our financial covenants under our Revolving Credit Facility within the next 12 months. Our failure to comply with these restrictive covenants would result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could require us to repay these borrowings before their due date.
