Revolving Credit Facility

 

We maintain a revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. that extends through March 1, 2023. As of year-end October 29, 2021, under the terms of this line of credit, we could borrow up to $15,000 at an interest rate equal to the bank’s prime rate or LIBOR plus 2.0%. The line of credit has an unused commitment fee of 0.25% of the available loan amount. The line of credit is presented under non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. On December 1, 2021, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. expanded our line of credit to $25,000 through June 15, 2022, at which time the credit limit returned to $15,000 for the balance of the term. Under the terms of this line of credit, we may borrow up to $15,000 at an interest rate equal to the bank’s prime rate or secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus 2.0%. The former benchmark interest rate of LIBOR for our line of credit has been transitioned to SOFR which could impact the cost of credit and alter the value of debt and loans. We borrowed $2,000 under this line of credit on December 2, 2020, $2,000 on April 27, 2021, $2,000 on July 1, 2021, $3,000 on July 19, 2021, $3,000 on October 15, 2021, $2,000 on November 1, 2021, and $2,000 on December 26, 2021, and $2,000 on January 24, 2022, for a combined total of $18,000. The revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. was paid off on June 7, 2022, using $18,000 in proceeds from the sale of a land parcel in Chicago.

 

Equipment Notes Payable

 

On December 26, 2018, we entered into a master collateral loan and security agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Original Wells Fargo Loan Agreement”) for up to $15,000 in equipment financing which was amended and expanded as detailed below. We subsequently entered into additional master collateral loan and security agreements with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. on each of; April 18, 2019, December 19, 2019, March 5, 2020, and April 17, 2020 (the Original Wells Fargo Loan Agreement and the subsequent agreements collectively referred to as the “Wells Fargo Loan Agreements”). Pursuant to the Wells Fargo Loan Agreements, we owe the amounts as stated in the table above.

 

Bridge Loan

 

On August 30, 2021, we entered into a loan commitment note for a bridge loan of up to $25,000 with the plan to use the proceeds to pay off the existing equipment loans as they come out of the lock out period and may be repaid (dates detailed in the table below). The outstanding principal balances of the bridge loan became due and payable in full on the earlier of the following dates (1) August 31, 2023, or (2) one Federal Reserve business day after the closing of the real estate transactions contemplated under the CRG Purchase Agreement. We repaid $18,653 in equipment loans (equipment loans 4.13%, 3.98%, 3.70% and 3.29% in the table above) utilizing proceeds from the new bridge loan. The Company evaluated the exchange under ASC 470 and determined that the exchange should be treated as a debt modification prospectively. The Company accounted for this transaction as a debt modification and did not incur any gain or loss relating to the modification. The debt modification did not meet the greater than ten percent test and was deemed not substantial. We repaid and terminated the bridge loan and related loan commitment note on June 2, 2022, using $18,653 in proceeds from the sale of a land parcel in Chicago pursuant to the CRG Purchase Agreement.
