CREDIT AGREEMENTS AND BORROWINGS | 4. CREDIT AGREEMENTS AND BORROWINGS On December 7, 2012, we entered into an agreement, which was subsequently amended on May 9, 2014, June 5, 2014, December 5, 2014 and December 6, 2016 (as amended, the “2012 Credit Agreement”) with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. that provided us with an unsecured revolving credit and letter of credit facility. The 2012 Credit Agreement contained customary financial covenants, including covenants (1) restricting us from making certain investments, loans, advances and acquisitions (but permitting us to make investments in subsidiaries of up to $5.0 million), (2) requiring that we maintain a minimum working capital, and (3) requiring that we maintain a minimum tangible net worth. The 2012 Credit Agreement permitted us to pay certain cash dividends, so long as we were not in default under the 2012 Credit Agreement before and after giving effect to such dividends. Borrowings under our 2012 Credit Agreement bore interest either at a LIBOR – based rate or a floating rate, in each case with an interest rate floor of 0.00%. The floating rate equaled the greatest of (a) a one month LIBOR – based rate plus 1.00% per annum, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% per annum, (c) the prevailing prime rate and (d) 0.00%. The rate we paid for that portion of the 2012 Credit Agreement which was not utilized is 0.05% per annum. On December 6, 2016, we entered into a fourth amendment to our 2012 Credit Agreement to, among other things, increase the unsecured revolving credit facility from $12.5 million to $15.0 million, to increase the cash dividend allowance from $4.0 million per calendar year to $5.0 million per calendar year, and to extend the scheduled maturity date to December 31, 2018. The 2012 Credit Agreement, as amended, provided for the issuance of up to $5.0 million in letters of credit. We also amended the 2012 Credit Agreement to increase the minimum working capital and minimum tangible net worth requirements from $90.0 million to $105.0 million and $120.0 million to $125.0 million, respectively. As of October 31, 2018, we had a £1.0 million revolving credit facility in the United Kingdom and a €1.5 million revolving credit facility in Germany. On February 16, 2017, we amended our credit facility in China to decrease the credit facility from 40.0 million Chinese Yuan to 20.0 million Chinese Yuan (approximately $2.9 million). On February 14, 2018, we renewed this facility with an expiration date of February 13, 2019. We had $1.4 million and $1.5 million of borrowings under our China credit facility as of October 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We had no other debt or borrowings under any of our other credit facilities at either of those dates. At October 31, 2018, we had $19.4 million of available borrowing capacity under our credit facilities in effect on that date. Effective as of December 31, 2018, we and our subsidiary Hurco B.V. entered into a new credit agreement (the “2018 Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as the lender. The 2018 Credit Agreement replaced the 2012 Credit Agreement, which terminated on December 31, 2018. The 2018 Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving credit and letter of credit facility in a maximum aggregate amount of $40.0 million. The 2018 Credit Agreement provides that the maximum amount of outstanding letters of credit at any one time may not exceed $10.0 million, the maximum amount of outstanding loans made to our subsidiary Hurco B.V. at any one time may not exceed $20.0 million, and the maximum amount of all outstanding loans denominated in alternative currencies at any one time may not exceed $20.0 million. Under the 2018 Credit Agreement, we and Hurco B.V. are borrowers, and certain of our other subsidiaries are guarantors. The scheduled maturity date of the 2018 Credit Agreement is December 31, 2020. Borrowings under the 2018 Credit Agreement will bear interest at floating rates based on, at our option, either (i) a LIBOR–based rate, or other alternative currency–based rate approved by the lender, plus 0.75% per annum, or (ii) a base rate (which is the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate or (c) the one month LIBOR–based rate plus 1.00%), plus 0.00% per annum. Outstanding letters of credit will carry an annual rate of 0.75%. The 2018 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including covenants (1) restricting us from making certain investments, loans, advances and acquisitions (but permitting us to make investments in subsidiaries of up to $10.0 million); (2) restricting us from making certain payments, including cash dividends, except that we may pay cash dividends as long as immediately before and after giving effect to such payment, the sum of the unused amount of the commitments under the 2018 Credit Agreement plus our cash on hand is not less than $10.0 million, and as long as we are not in default before and after giving effect to such dividend payments; (3) requiring that we maintain a minimum working capital of $125.0 million; and (4) requiring that we maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $170.0 million. We may use the proceeds from advances under the 2018 Credit Agreement for general corporate purposes. In December 2018, in connection with our entry into the 2018 Credit Agreement, (1) using cash on hand, we repaid in full the $1.4 million outstanding under, and terminated, the China credit facility and (2) we terminated our United Kingdom credit facility. As of December 31, 2018, we retained the €1.5 million revolving credit facility in Germany and the $40 million revolving credit facility under 2018 Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2018, there were no borrowings under any of our credit facilities and $41.7 million of available borrowing capacity thereunder.
