Note 4 - Line of Credit and Term Loan

 

In June 2021, we entered into a loan agreement with Truist Bank (“Truist”) for a $60 million revolving line of credit with a $20 million sublimit for letters of credit and a $3.2 million term loan. The credit facilities are provided by a syndication of lenders with Truist acting as the administrative agent. The line of credit is subject to a borrowing base that is derived from our accounts receivable, subject to certain reserves and other limitations. Under the agreement, Truist may also make swingline loans available in its discretion.

 

All loans made under the line of credit are scheduled to mature on June 29, 2026. The line of credit and swingline loans bear interest at a variable rate equal to: (a) for LIBOR index rate loans, the Daily One Month London Interbank Offering Rate, (“LIBOR”) plus a margin between 1.25% and 1.75% per annum or; (b), for base rate loans, the then applicable base rate plus a margin between 0.25% and 0.75% per annum. The margin is determined based on our average excess availability, which is generally equal to our total collateral less the outstanding balance, if any, under the loan agreement. At September 30, 2021 the effective interest rate was approximately 1.8%. A non-use fee of 0.250% accrues on the unused portion of the line of credit. As collateral for repayment of any and all obligations under this agreement, we granted Truist a security interest in substantially all of our operating assets and the operating assets of our subsidiaries. This agreement, and other loan documents, contain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, including without limitation, those covenants governing indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, restrictions on certain payments, including dividends, unless certain conditions are met, transactions with affiliates, investments, and the sale of assets. This agreement requires us to comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25:1.00, and a leverage ratio of not more than 3.0:1.0, tested monthly on a rolling twelve-month basis. At September 30, 2021 we were in compliance with these covenants. Our obligations under this agreement are subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an event of default as defined in the loan agreement.

 

At September 30, 2021, approximately $14.3 million of availability under the line of credit was utilized by outstanding letters of credit that secure our obligations to our workers’ compensation insurance carrier and $500,000 was utilized by a letter of credit that secures our paycard funding account. This loan agreement replaces our prior $30 million line of credit. For additional information related to the letter of credit securing our workers’ compensation obligations see Note 5 - Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Reserves.

The term loan is scheduled to mature on June 29, 2036 and bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 2.0%. At September 30, 2021 the effective interest rate was approximately 2.1%. The term loan will be paid in equal monthly installments based upon a 15-year amortization of the original principal amount of the term loan, provided that any remaining principal balance is due and payable in full on the earlier of the date of termination of the commitments on the line of credit and June 29, 2036. The term loan is collateralized by all real property owned by us. The proceeds of approximately $3.2 million were used to pay off our prior credit facility and to pay transaction related fees and expenses.

 

The loan agreement contains hardwired mechanics for the replacement of LIBOR with a rate based upon the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or a successor administrator upon LIBOR’s cessation or other benchmark transition event set forth in the loan agreement, together with a spread adjustment.
