The Company's Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") provides for a Tranche A revolving loan of up to $1.17 billion and a Tranche A-1 revolving loan with $40 million of capacity. The Company has the ability to increase the amount borrowed under the Credit Agreement by an additional $195 million, subject to certain conditions. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s personal and real property. The Company may repay all loans in whole or in part at any time without penalty.

Availability under the Credit Agreement is based upon advance rates on certain asset categories owned by the Company, including, but not limited to the following: inventory, accounts receivable, real estate, prescription lists, cigarette tax stamps, and rolling stock.

The Credit Agreement imposes certain restrictions on the Company, including limitations on dividends and investments, limitations on the Company’s ability to incur debt, make loans, acquire other companies, change the nature of the Company’s business, enter a merger or consolidation, or sell assets. These requirements can be more restrictive depending upon the Company’s Excess Availability, as defined under the Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at the Company’s option as either SOFR loans or Base Rate loans, subject to a grid based upon Excess Availability. The interest rate terms for each of the aforementioned tranches are as follows:

The Company also incurs an unused line of credit fee on the unused portion of the loan commitments at a rate of 0.25%.

The Credit Agreement requires that the Company maintain Excess Availability of 10% of the borrowing base, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Company is in compliance with all financial covenants as of December 28, 2024 and had Excess Availability after the 10% requirement of $339.3 million and $483.2 million at December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively. The Credit Agreement provides for the issuance of letters of credit, of which $17.9 million and $17.7 million were outstanding as of December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively.

The weighted average interest rate for all borrowings, including loan fee amortization, was 7.03% for 2024. Refer to Note 9 for further information on the interest rate swap.
