NOTE 11 – LONG-TERM DEBT

On February 1, 2016, we entered into an amended and restated loan agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (the “Loan Agreement”) in connection with the completion of the Acquisition. Also on February 1, 2016, we borrowed $60 million, the in full amounts available under the Unsecured Term Loan (the “Unsecured Term Loan”) and the Secured Term Loan (the “Secured Term Loan”) in connection with the completion of the Acquisition. Substantially all of the cash value of our company owned life insurance is pledged as collateral for the Secured Term Loan. Any amounts borrowed under the unsecured term loan bear interest at a rate, adjusted monthly, equal to the then current LIBOR rate plus 1.5%. Any amounts borrowed under the secured term loan bear interest at a rate, adjusted monthly, equal to the then current LIBOR rate plus 0.5%. All amounts borrowed are due on February 1, 2021.

We may prepay any outstanding principal amounts borrowed under either the Unsecured Term Loan or the Secured Term Loan in full or in part on any interest payment date without penalty. During fiscal 2017, we made unscheduled payments of $5.0 million on the Unsecured Term Loan and $1.9 million on the Secured Term Loan, in addition to the regularly scheduled debt service payments required by the Loan Agreement.

Additionally, we incurred $165,000 in debt issuance costs in connection with our term loans. These costs are amortized over the life of the loan using the interest method and are included in the “interest expense” line of our condensed consolidated income statements. Unamortized debt issuance costs are netted against the carrying value of our term loans on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of January 29, 2017, unamortized loan costs of $122,000 were netted against the carrying value of our term loans on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Principal payments due on our terms loans are as follows:

The carrying amount of our term loans approximates their fair value at January 29, 2017.

The Loan Agreement increased the amount available under our existing unsecured revolving credit facility from $15 million to $30 million and increased the sublimit of the facility available for the issuance of letters of credit from $3 million to $4 million. Amounts outstanding under the revolving facility bear interest at a rate, adjusted monthly, equal to the then current LIBOR monthly rate plus 1.50%. We must also pay a quarterly unused commitment fee that is based on the average daily amount of the facility utilized during the applicable quarter.

As of January 29, 2017, we had an aggregate $28.5 million available under our revolving credit facility to fund working capital needs. Standby letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $1.5 million, used to collateralize certain insurance arrangements and for imported product purchases, were outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of January 29, 2017.  There were no additional borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of January 29, 2017.
