Credit Agreement with Financial Institutions (Bank Credit Facility)

Effective July 12, 2021, the Company, as borrower, amended its Credit Agreement (Bank Credit Facility). The amended Bank Credit Facility increased the amount available on the senior revolving credit facility from $225.0 million to $325.0 million. PNC Bank, National Association and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. serve as joint lead arrangers under the amended Bank Credit Facility, with The Northern Trust Company, KeyBank National Association, U.S. Bank National Association, Illinois National Bank and Comerica Bank as lenders participating in the syndicate. Terms and conditions of the Bank Credit Facility are substantially consistent with the prior agreement, with an interest rate based on LIBOR plus 115 basis points.

As of December 31, 2021, the amount outstanding on the senior revolving credit facility was $249.0 million. The $76.0 million unused portion of the Bank Credit Facility is available for use and subject to a variable commitment fee, which was 0.15% on an annual basis at December 31, 2021.

On December 31, 2021, the Company utilized $114.0 million of the senior revolving credit facility to fund a portion of the acquisition of Madison National that occurred effective January 1, 2022, and the Company expects that the unused portion of the senior revolving credit facility will be available for ongoing working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate expenditures.

Senior Notes

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Senior Notes (Senior Notes), which will mature on December 1, 2025, issued at a discount of 0.265% resulting in an effective yield of 4.53%. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually at a rate of 4.50%. The Senior Notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at any time, at the Company's option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted, on a semi-annual basis, at the Treasury yield (as defined in the indenture) plus 35 basis points, plus, in either of the above cases, accrued interest to the date of redemption.

Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings

In 2017, Horace Mann Insurance Company (HMIC) became a member of the FHLB, which provides HMIC with access to collateralized borrowings and other FHLB products. As membership requires the ownership of membership stock, in June 2017, HMIC purchased common stock to meet the membership requirement. Any borrowing from the FHLB requires the purchase of FHLB activity-based common stock in an amount equal to 4.5% of the borrowing, or a lower percentage - such as 2.0% based on the Reduced Capitalization Advance Program. In the fourth quarter of 2017, HMIC purchased common stock to meet the activity-based requirement. In 2021, the Board authorized a maximum amount equal to 15% of net aggregate admitted assets less separate account assets of the insurance subsidiaries for FHLB borrowings. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $5.0 million of borrowings outstanding with FHLB that mature on May 16, 2022. There is no interest on this borrowing. HMIC's FHLB borrowings of $5.0 million are included in Long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
