Amended Revolving Credit Facility

On February 12, 2020, the Company entered into a First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) for a $225 million revolving credit facility (the “Amended Revolving Facility”). The significant changes made to the Company’s prior credit facility by the Amended Credit Agreement include (i) increasing the maximum principal amount from $175 million to $225 million, (ii) providing for a $75 million accordion amount, (iii) decreasing certain interest-rate margins and fees, and (iv) extending the term to February 2025 from the original term of October 2021. HSBC Bank USA, National Association is the administrative agent, and HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., KeyBank N.A, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A and Citizens Bank, N.A. are joint lead arrangers.

Borrowings under the Amended Revolving Facility bear interest at the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 1.00% to 1.75% or the Prime Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 0% to 0.75%, in each case depending on the Company’s ratio of total funded indebtedness (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) to Consolidated trailing twelve-month EBITDA (the “Total Leverage Ratio”). At December 31, 2020, the applicable margin for LIBOR Rate borrowings was 1.625% and the applicable margin for Prime Rate borrowings was 0.625%. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.10% and 0.225% quarterly (0.20% at December 31, 2020) on the unused portion of the Amended Revolving Facility, also based on the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio. The Amended Revolving Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s non-realty assets and is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants related to minimum interest coverage and total leverage ratio at the end of each quarter. The Amended Credit Agreement also includes other covenants and restrictions, including limits on the amount of additional indebtedness, and restrictions on the Company’s ability to merge or sell all, or substantially all, of its assets. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2020.

As of December 31, 2020, the unused Amended Revolving Facility was $104,344. The amount available to borrow may be reduced based upon our debt and EBITDA levels, which impacts our covenant calculations.

Other

The China Credit Facility provides credit of $1,467 (Chinese Renminbi 10,000) (“the China Facility”). The China Facility is a demand revolving facility used for working capital and capital equipment needs at the Company’s China operations. The term is annual and may be cancelled at the bank’s discretion. The interest rate shall be agreed upon by the Lender and the Borrower before the Utilization Date (as defined in the China Facility) and shall be specified in the Utilization Request (as defined in the China Facility). Collateral for the facility is a guarantee issued by the Company. There were no borrowings under the China Facility during 2020 or 2019.

Deferred Financing Fees

Deferred financing costs net of accumulated amortization were $577 as of December 31, 2020. These costs will be amortized over the term of the Amended Credit Facility.
