Autodesk’s line of credit facility permits unsecured short-term borrowings of up to $400.0 million, with an option to request an increase in the amount of the credit facility by up to an additional $100.0 million, and is available for working capital or other business needs. This credit agreement contains customary covenants that could restrict the imposition of liens on our assets, and restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness or make dispositions of assets if we fail to

maintain the financial covenants. As the result of a forecasted inability to comply with the credit agreement's minimum interest coverage ratio in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company renegotiated the credit agreement financial covenants in June 2018. The amended financial covenants now consist of a maximum debt to total cash ratio, a fixed charge coverage ratio extending through October 31, 2018, and after October 31, 2018, a minimum interest coverage ratio.

The line of credit is syndicated with various financial institutions, including Citibank, N.A., an affiliate of Citigroup, which is one of the lead lenders and an agent. The maturity date on the line of credit is May 2020. At October 31, 2018, Autodesk was in compliance with the credit facility's covenants and had no outstanding borrowings on this line of credit.
