We have a Loan Agreement dated as of March 10, 2016 (as amended the “Loan Agreement”) with MidFirst Bank (“the Bank”) which includes multiple loans.  Term Loan #1 is comprised of Tranche A totaling $13.4 million and Tranche B totaling $5.0 million, both with the maturity date of December 1, 2025.  Tranche A has a fixed interest rate of 4.23% and interest is payable monthly. Tranche B interest is payable monthly at the bank adjusted LIBOR Index plus a tiered pricing rate based on the Company’s Adjusted Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio (4.99% at February 28, 2019).  Term Loan #1 is secured by the primary office, warehouse and land.  The outstanding borrowings on Tranche A were $11,984,100 and $12,453,300 at February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  The outstanding borrowings on Tranche B were $4,479,700 and $4,657,700 at February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively.


We also have Term Loan #2 with the Bank in the amount of $4.0 million with the maturity date of June 28, 2021, and interest payable monthly at the bank adjusted LIBOR Index plus a tiered pricing rate based on the Company’s Adjusted Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio (4.99% at February 28, 2019).   Term Loan #2 is secured by our secondary warehouse and land. The Loan Agreement also provided a $15.0 million revolving loan (“line of credit”) through August 15, 2019 with interest payable monthly at the bank adjusted LIBOR Index plus a tiered pricing rate based on the Company’s Adjusted Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio (4.99% at February 28, 2019).  The outstanding borrowings on Term Loan #2 were $3,312,800 and $3,595,100 at February 28, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  We had no borrowings outstanding on line of credit at February 28, 2019 and 2018.  Available credit under the revolving credit agreement was $12,439,300 at February 28, 2019 and $9,424,000 at February 28, 2018.


The Tranche B, line of credit and Term Loan #2 all accrue interest at a tiered rate based on our Adjusted Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio which is payable monthly.  The current pricing tier is as follows:

Adjusted Funded Debt is defined as all long term and short-term bank debt less the outstanding balances of Tranche A and Tranche B Term Loans.  EBITDA is defined in the Loan Agreement as earnings before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization expenses, reduced by rental income.   The $15.0 million line of credit is limited to advance rates on eligible receivables and eligible inventory levels.


On June 15, 2018, the Company executed the Eighth Amendment Loan Agreement with the Bank related to our Loan Agreement. The amendment modifies the Loan Agreement, extending the termination date until August 15, 2019, reduces the interest rate pricing grid for all floating rate borrowings covered by the Loan Agreement, establishes a new $3,000,000 advancing term loan to be used for capital expansions to increase daily shipping capacity, releases the personal Guaranty of Randall W. White and Carol White, along with other covenant restrictions being lessened. The amendment also includes an adjustment to the Adjusted Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio for covenant compliance.


On February 7, 2019, the Company executed the Ninth Amendment Loan Agreement with the Bank related to our Loan Agreement. The amendment modifies the Loan Agreement, removing the covenant prohibiting the Company from repurchasing its shares, subject to certain conditions.


The Loan Agreement contains a provision for our use of the Bank’s letters of credit. The Bank agrees to issue or obtain issuance of commercial or stand-by letters of credit provided that no letters of credit will have an expiry date later than August 15, 2019, and that the sum of the line of credit plus the letters of credit would not exceed the borrowing base in effect at the time. We had no letters of credit outstanding for the year ended February 28, 2019.


The Loan Agreement also contains provisions that require us to maintain specified financial ratios, restrict transactions with related parties, prohibits mergers or consolidation, disallow additional debt, and limit the amount of investments, capital expenditures, leasing transactions we can make on a quarterly basis. Additionally, the Loan Agreement places limitations on the amount of dividends that may be distributed and the total value of stock that can be repurchased.
