Debt Debt
On September 17, 2018, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”), as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $40.0 million secured asset-backed revolving credit facility with a $5.0 million letter of credit sub-facility.

On December 20, 2019, we amended our revolving credit facility agreement with RBC (the “Amendment”) and increased the borrowing amount from $40.0 to $75.0 million. The maturity date has been extended to December 20, 2022.

The borrowing base under the Credit Agreement is comprised of an amount equal to (a) the lesser of (i) eighty percent (80%) of Eligible Commissions Receivables (as defined in the Credit Agreement) we actually collected during the immediately preceding period of three months or (ii) eighty percent 80%) of our Eligible Commission Receivables for the immediately succeeding period of three months, plus (b) fifty percent (50%) of our Eligible Commission Receivables for the immediately succeeding period of six months (excluding the immediately succeeding period of three months), in each case subject to reserves established by RBC (the “Borrowing Base”). The proceeds of the loans under the Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Borrowers have the right to prepay the loans under the Credit Agreement in whole or in part at any time without penalty. Subject to availability under the Borrowing Base, amounts repaid may be reborrowed.
Amounts not borrowed under the Credit Agreement will be subject to a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum on the daily unused portion of the credit facility, to be paid in arrears on the first business day of each calendar quarter. At the closing of the Credit Agreement, we paid a one-time facility fee of 1.75% of the total commitments of $40.0 million. We also paid a one-time closing fee of 0.5% of the new commitment of $75.0 million in connection with the Amendment. The Company is also obligated to pay other customary administration fees for a credit facility of this size and type.

The availability under the credit facility was up to the lesser of $40.0 million or the Borrowing Base in the original credit agreement. The Amendment increased the availability up to the lesser of $75.0 million or the Borrowing Base, which may be reduced from time to time pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

Financial covenants in the original Credit Agreement required that we maintain Excess Availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement) at or above $6.0 million at any time. The Amendment also changed the financial covenants to require us to maintain at least $6.0 million of Excess Availability at all times or, if greater, up to $11.3 million depending on our borrowing base as determined by eligible past and future commission receivables. In addition, the Amendment also included changes in the payment conditions to, among other things, require us to have at least $10.0 million of liquidity or, if greater, up to $18.8 million depending on our borrowing base as determined by eligible past and future commission receivables, in order for us to make certain permitted acquisitions, investments, distributions and payments of indebtedness. The Amendment also stated the seasonal amount thresholds used in connection with the cash dominion and field examination covenants in the Credit Agreement.

We incurred $1.2 million of issuance costs in connection with the Credit Agreement, which were capitalized as part of Other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet in the period we entered into the Credit Agreement. The Amendment did not change the interest rate. In connection with this Amendment, we incurred closing costs totaling $0.5 million, which were capitalized and recorded as Other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019. The remaining balance of unamortized issuance costs was $0.4 million and $0.7 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

As of December 31, 2021, we had no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

On February 28, 2022, we terminated our Credit Agreement with RBC and entered into a term loan credit agreement with Blue Torch Finance LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other lenders party thereto (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”). This loan agreement provides for a $70.0 million secured term loan, which term loans were made available to us on February 28, 2022. The proceeds of the loans under the Term Loan Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, refinance our Credit Agreement with RBC and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the entry into the Term Loan Credit Agreement. We expect to incur closing costs totaling approximately $5.0 million, which will be amortized over the term of this agreement.
