The Company, Big 5 Corp. and Big 5 Services Corp. were parties to a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as administrative agent, and a syndicate of other lenders, as amended (the “Prior Credit Agreement”), which was terminated and replaced on February 24, 2021, as discussed below. On February 24, 2021, the Company entered into a Loan, Guaranty and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (“BofA”), as agent and lender (the “Loan Agreement”), at which time the Prior Credit Agreement was terminated. The Loan Agreement has a maturity date of February 24, 2026 and provides for a revolving credit facility with an aggregate committed availability of up to $150.0 million. The Company may also request additional increases in aggregate availability, up to a maximum of $200.0 million, in which case the existing lenders under the Loan Agreement will have the option to increase the commitment to accommodate the requested increase. If such existing lenders do not exercise that option, the Company may (with the consent of BofA in its role as the administrative agent, not to be unreasonably withheld) seek other lenders willing to provide such commitments. The credit facility includes a $50.0 million sublimit for issuances of letters of credit. Similar to the Prior Credit Agreement, the Company may borrow under the Loan Agreement from time to time, provided the amounts outstanding will not exceed the lesser of the then aggregate committed availability (as discussed above) and the Borrowing Base (such lesser amount being referred to as the “Line Cap”). As defined in the Loan Agreement, the “Borrowing Base” generally is comprised of the sum, at the time of calculation, of (a) 90.00% of eligible credit card receivables; plus (b) the cost of eligible inventory (other than eligible in-transit inventory), net of inventory reserves, multiplied by 90.00% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory (expressed as a percentage of the cost of eligible inventory); plus (c) the cost of eligible in-transit inventory, net of inventory reserves, multiplied by 90.00% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible in-transit inventory (expressed as a percentage of the cost of eligible in-transit inventory), minus (d) certain agreed-upon reserves as well as other reserves established by BofA in its role as the administrative agent in its reasonable discretion. Generally, the Company may designate specific borrowings under the Loan Agreement as either base rate loans or LIBO rate loans. The applicable interest rate on the Company’s borrowings is a function of the daily average, over the preceding fiscal quarter, of the excess of the Line Cap over amounts borrowed (such amount being referred to as the “Average Daily Availability”). Those loans designated as LIBO rate loans bear interest at a rate equal to the then applicable adjusted LIBO rate plus an applicable margin as shown in the table below. Those loans designated as base rate loans bear interest at a rate equal to the applicable margin for base rate loans (as shown below) plus the highest of (a) the Federal funds rate, as in effect from time to time, plus one-half of one percent (0.50%), (b) the LIBO rate, plus one percentage point (1.00%), or (c) the rate of interest in effect for such day as announced from time to time within BofA as its “prime rate.” The applicable margin for all loans is a function of Average Daily Availability for the preceding fiscal quarter as set forth below.
Level |  | Average Daily Availability |  | LIBO Rate Applicable Margin |  |  | Base Rate Applicable Margin |
I |  | Greater than or equal to $70,000,000 |  | 1.375% |  |  | 0.375% |
II |  | Less than $70,000,000 |  | 1.500% |  |  | 0.500% |
The commitment fee assessed on the unused portion of the credit facility is 0.20% per annum. Obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by a general lien on and security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Loan Agreement contains covenants that require the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0:1.0 in certain circumstances, and limits the ability to, among other things, incur liens, incur additional indebtedness, transfer or dispose of assets, change the nature of the business, guarantee obligations, pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase stock, and make advances, loans or investments. The Company may generally declare or pay cash dividends or repurchase stock only if, among other things, no default or event of default then exists or would arise from such dividend or repurchase of stock and, after giving effect to such dividend or repurchase, certain availability and/or fixed charge coverage ratio requirements are satisfied, although the Company is permitted to make up to $5.0 million of dividend payments or stock repurchases per year without satisfaction of the availability or fixed charge coverage ratio requirements, but dividends or stock repurchases made without satisfying the availability and/or fixed charge coverage ratio requirements will require the establishment of an additional reserve that will reduce borrowing availability under the Loan Agreement for 75 days. The Loan Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, failure to pay when due principal amounts with respect to the credit facility, failure to pay any interest or other amounts under the credit facility, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants contained in the Loan Agreement, failure to satisfy certain judgments against the Company, failure to pay when due (or any other default which permits the acceleration of) certain other material indebtedness in principal amount in excess of $5.0 million, and certain insolvency and bankruptcy events. As previously disclosed, the Prior Credit Agreement had a maturity date of September 29, 2022 and, as amended, provided for a line of credit up to $140.0 million, which amount could be increased at the Company’s option up to a maximum of $165.0 million. The Company could also request additional increases in aggregate availability, on an uncommitted basis up to a maximum of $200.0 million. On March 30, 2020, the Company exercised the accordion feature and increased the amount available under the revolving credit facility to $165.0 million in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and drew down additional amounts at that time. The revolving credit facility under the Prior Credit Agreement included a $25.0 million sublimit for issuances of letters of credit and a $20.0 million sublimit for swingline loans. The Prior Credit Agreement provided for LIBO rate loans to bear interest at a rate equal to the applicable adjusted LIBO rate plus an applicable margin, as shown in the table below. The loans designated as base rate loans bore interest at a rate equal to the applicable margin for base rate loans (as shown below) plus the highest of (a) the Federal funds rate in effect plus one-half of one percent, (b) the LIBO rate, plus one percentage point, or (c) the prime interest rate. Under the Prior Credit Agreement, the applicable margin for all loans was a function of Average Daily Availability for the preceding fiscal quarter as set forth below.
Level |  | Average Daily Availability |  | LIBO Rate Applicable Margin |  |  | Base Rate Applicable Margin |
I |  | Greater than or equal to $70,000,000 |  | 1.250% |  |  | 0.250% |
II |  | Less than $70,000,000 |  | 1.375% |  |  | 0.500% |
The commitment fee assessed on the unused portion of the credit facility under the Prior Credit Agreement was 0.20% per annum. In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company paid and capitalized $0.7 million in new creditor and third-party fees associated with the Loan Agreement, which will be amortized over the term of the Loan Agreement, and extinguished $0.2 million of deferred financing fees associated with the Prior Credit Agreement. As of April 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021, the Company had no long-term revolving credit borrowings outstanding. As of April 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021, the Company had letter of credit commitments of $1.1 million and $2.6 million outstanding, respectively. Total remaining borrowing availability, after subtracting letters of credit, was $148.9 million and $162.4 million as of April 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021, respectively.
