On December 27, 2018, one of our subsidiaries entered into a credit facility agreement (“Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. for a committed amount of $135.0 million, which is included in bank loans. Interest is based on an annual alternative base rate or an adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), as defined in the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility contains certain covenants that, among other things, require Jefferies Group LLC to maintain a specified level of tangible net worth. The covenants also require the borrower to maintain specified leverage amounts and impose certain restrictions on the borrower’s future indebtedness. During the nine months ended August 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all debt covenants under the Credit Facility.
The Bank of New York Mellon has agreed to make revolving intraday credit advances (“Intraday Credit Facility”) for an aggregate committed amount of $150.0 million. The Intraday Credit Facility contains financial covenants, which include a minimum regulatory net capital requirement for Jefferies LLC. Interest is based on the higher of the Federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% or the prime rate. At August 31, 2019, we were in compliance with debt covenants under the Intraday Credit Facility.
