On March 26, 2015, the Company and its subsidiary, Unifi Manufacturing, Inc., entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) for a $200,000 senior secured credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) with a syndicate of lenders. The ABL Facility consists of a $100,000 revolving credit facility (the “ABL Revolver”) and a term loan that can be reset up to a maximum amount of $100,000 if certain future conditions are met (the “ABL Term Loan”). The ABL Facility has a maturity date of March 26, 2020. The Company paid $750 to the lenders in connection with the Amended Credit Agreement.


The Amended Credit Agreement replaced a previous senior secured credit facility dated May 24, 2012 with a similar syndicate of lenders, which, after multiple amendments, would have matured on March 28, 2019 and consisted of a $100,000 revolving credit facility and a $90,000 term loan. As used herein, the terms “ABL Facility,” “ABL Revolver” and “ABL Term Loan” shall mean the senior secured credit facility, the revolving credit facility or the term loan, respectively, under the Amended Credit Agreement or the previous senior secured credit facility, as applicable.


ABL Facility


The ABL Facility is secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in substantially all owned property and assets (together with proceeds and products) of Unifi, Inc., Unifi Manufacturing, Inc. and certain subsidiary guarantors (the “Loan Parties”). It is also secured by a first-priority security interest in all (or 65% in the case of certain first tier controlled foreign corporations, as required by the lenders) of the stock of (or other ownership interests in) each of the Loan Parties (other than the Company) and certain subsidiaries of the Loan Parties, together with all proceeds and products thereof.


If excess availability under the ABL Revolver falls below the defined Trigger Level, a financial covenant requiring the Loan Parties to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio on a monthly basis of at least 1.05 to 1.0 becomes effective. The Trigger Level as of September 27, 2015 was $22,484. In addition, the ABL Facility contains restrictions on certain payments and investments, including restrictions on the payment of dividends and share repurchases. Subject to certain provisions, the ABL Term Loan may be prepaid at par, in whole or in part, at any time before the maturity date, at the Company’s discretion.


ABL Facility borrowings bear interest at the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin of 1.50% to 2.00%, or the Base Rate plus an applicable margin of 0.50% to 1.00%, with interest currently being paid on a monthly basis. The applicable margin is based on (a) the excess availability under the ABL Revolver and (b) the consolidated leverage ratio, calculated by fiscal quarter. The Base Rate means the greater of (i) the prime lending rate as publicly announced from time to time by Wells Fargo, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, and (iii) LIBOR plus 1.0%. The Company’s ability to borrow under the ABL Revolver is limited to a borrowing base equal to specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and is subject to certain conditions and limitations. There is also a monthly unused line fee under the ABL Revolver of 0.25%.


The ABL Term Loan is currently subject to quarterly amortizing payments of $2,250. Additionally, principal increases are available at the Company’s discretion, resetting the loan balance up to a maximum amount of $100,000, once per fiscal year upon satisfaction of certain conditions, beginning October 1, 2015.


As of September 27, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants; the excess availability under the ABL Revolver was $57,089; the consolidated leverage ratio was 1.9 to 1.0; the fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.7 to 1.0; and the Company had $235 of standby letters of credit, none of which have been drawn upon.


First Amendment


On June 26, 2015, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated March 26, 2015 (“First Amendment”). The First Amendment modified the composition of subsidiary guarantors in connection with an internal reorganization completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015. There was no impact to the consolidated financial statements as a result of the First Amendment.


Renewables’ Promissory Note


In September 2015, Renewables delivered a promissory note in the amount of $135, and cash, to an unrelated third party for the purchase of certain land, consisting of thirty-seven acres located in Seven Springs, North Carolina, valued at $191. Such promissory note bears fixed interest at 3.0%, with principal and interest payable annually over a five-year period.


Renewables’ Term Loan


In September 2015, Renewables entered into a secured debt financing arrangement consisting of a master loan agreement and corresponding term loan supplement, with unrelated parties, with a borrowing capacity of up to $4,000.  In October 2015, Renewables borrowed $4,000.  The agreements include representations and warranties made by Renewables, financial covenants, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that are usual and customary for financings of this type. Lender recourse does not extend beyond the assets of Renewables. Borrowings will bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.25%, payable monthly in arrears.


Term Loan from Unconsolidated Affiliate


On August 30, 2012, a foreign subsidiary of the Company entered into an unsecured loan agreement under which it borrowed $1,250 from the Company’s unconsolidated affiliate, U.N.F. Industries Ltd. The loan does not amortize and bears interest at 3%, payable semi-annually. The entire principal balance is due August 30, 2016, the revised maturity date.


Capital Lease Obligations


During the three months ended September 27, 2015, the Company entered into capital leases with an aggregate present value of $4,154. Fixed interest rates for these capital leases range from 3.4% to 3.8%, with maturity dates in August 2020.
