Line of Credit
 
The Company and its subsidiaries amended and restated its Revolving Credit Facility with Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania on
August 9, 2018. 
As amended and restated, the Revolving Credit Facility now provides for a
$45.0
million revolving credit facility (increased from
$40.0
million),
no
longer has a sub-limit for letters of credit (from a sub-limit of
$5.0
million) and expires on
August 8, 2023.
The amended and restated Revolving Credit Facility provides the Company with waivers from certain financial covenant calculations of up to
$1.4
million in the borrowers’ fiscal year ending on
December 31, 2018
for certain expenses, including severance accrued for the Company’s former chief executive officer and related payroll taxes, continuation of certain benefits and professional fees, charges incurred related to transactional financial advisory fees, legal fees associated with defending an ongoing frivolous lawsuit with a competitor of the Company, and search fees associated with hiring a senior executive.  Except as noted, all material terms remain unchanged.
 
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at
one
of
two
alternative rates, as selected by the Company at each incremental borrowing.  These alternatives are: (i) LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate), plus applicable margin, typically borrowed in fixed
30
-day increments or (ii) the agent bank’s prime rate generally borrowed over shorter durations.  The Company also pays unused line fees based on the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility that is
not
drawn.  Unused line fees are recorded as interest expense.  The effective weighted average interest rate, including unused line fees, for the
thirty-nine
week period ended
September 29, 2018
was
3.8%.
 
All borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are collateralized by all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and a pledge of the stock of its subsidiaries.  The Revolving Credit Facility also contains various financial and non-financial covenants, such as a covenant that restricts on the Company’s ability to borrow in order to pay dividends.  As of
September 29, 2018,
the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the Revolving Credit Facility.
 
Borrowings under the line of credit as of
September 29, 2018
and
December 30, 2017
were
$24.5
million and
$27.3
million, respectively. At
September 29, 2018
and
December 30, 2017
there were letters of credit outstanding for
$0.8
million. At
September 29, 2018,
the Company had availability for additional borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility of
$19.7
million.
