Interest rates for the revolving credit facility are calculated at either term SOFR or the base rate, plus in each case an applicable margin that is determined based on SWG’s senior unsecured long-term debt rating from either S&P or Moody’s. The applicable margin ranges from 0.750% to 1.500% for loans bearing interest with reference to term SOFR and from 0.000% to 0.500% for loans bearing interest with reference to the base rate. The commitment fee ranges from 0.075% to 0.200% per annum, which is also determined based on SWG’s senior unsecured long-term debt rating.

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants. In addition, the Revolving Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant requiring SWG to maintain a ratio of funded debt to total capitalization not to exceed 0.70 to 1.00 as of the end of any quarter of any fiscal year.

The foregoing description of the Revolving Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Revolving Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
