Debt Debt
On March 24, 2023, we entered into a Fifth Amended Credit Agreement with each of the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent, and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Citibank, N.A. and Citizens Bank, N.A. as Co-Syndication Agents. The Fifth Amended Credit Agreement amends and restates the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement, and provides for (1) a revolving credit facility with up to $450.0 million of revolving loans, with sub-limits for multicurrency borrowings, letters of credit and swing-line notes, and (2) a $225.0 million expansion feature. Borrowings may be used to finance working capital needs, for letters of credit and for general corporate purposes in the ordinary course of business, including the financing of permitted acquisitions (as defined in the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement). The Fifth Amended Credit Agreement extends the maturity, the date on which all amounts borrowed or outstanding under the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement are due, from March 31, 2024 to March 24, 2028.
All obligations under the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of our existing and future material domestic subsidiaries, as defined in the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement (the Guarantors). The obligations are also secured by a Fifth Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of March 24, 2023, entered into by us and the Guarantors which grants to the administrative agent, for the benefit of the lenders, a security interest, subject to certain exceptions, in substantially all of the non-real estate assets of ours and the Guarantors. These assets include, but are not limited to, receivables, equipment, intellectual property, inventory, and stock in certain subsidiaries.
Borrowings under the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement bear interest based on one of two options. Alternate base rate loans will bear interest at a rate that includes a base reference rate plus a spread of 62.5 to 100.0 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio. The base reference rate will be the greater of the (1) prime rate, (2) federal funds effective rate plus 50 basis points, and (3) one-month Term SOFR plus 110 basis points. Loans bearing an interest rate determined by reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR, or the Adjusted TIBOR (each as defined in the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement) will bear interest based on the screen rate plus a spread of 162.5 to 200.0 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio. Based on our leverage ratio as of March 31, 2024, the spread was 162.5 basis points.
In addition to interest payable on the principal amount of indebtedness outstanding, we incur an annual fee of 25 to 35 basis points (based upon our leverage ratio), paid quarterly, of the unused amount of the lenders’ commitments under the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement.
The Fifth Amended Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, mandatory prepayments and events of default under which the Company’s payment obligations may be accelerated. The financial covenants include a
requirement to maintain (1) a total net leverage ratio of no more than 3.25 to 1.00, subject to a one-time election to increase the maximum total net leverage ratio to 3.75 to 1.00 for one fiscal year in connection with a permitted acquisition, and (2) an interest coverage ratio of no less than 3.00 to 1.00. We are permitted to net up to $50.0 million of unrestricted domestic cash and cash equivalents in the calculation of the total net leverage ratio. The Fifth Amended Credit Agreement generally permits us to pay cash dividends to our shareholders, provided that (i) no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the dividend payment and (ii) our total net leverage ratio does not exceed 2.75 to 1.00. If our total net leverage ratio exceeds 2.75 to 1.00, we may nonetheless make up to $20.0 million in restricted payments, including cash dividends, during the fiscal year, provided that no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the payments. Our total net leverage ratio did not exceed 2.75 to 1.00 and our interest coverage ratio was greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2024.
There were no borrowings under the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or the three months ended March 31, 2023. We are not required to make any quarterly principal payments under the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement. We made a $30.0 million discretionary principal payment during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and we made a $25.0 million discretionary principal payment during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
We had no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2024, and $30.0 million as of December 31, 2023. We had $2.0 million and $2.1 million of outstanding line of credit issuance costs as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which will be amortized over the life of the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement.
