Debt And Credit Agreements
DEBT AND CREDIT AGREEMENTS
On June 28, 2019, Tredegar entered into a $500 million five-year, secured revolving credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”), with an option to increase that amount by $100 million. The Credit Agreement amends and restates the Company’s previous $400 million five-year, secured revolving credit facility that was due to expire on March 1, 2021.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear an interest rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread and commitment fees charged on the unused amount under the Credit Agreement at various indebtedness-to-adjusted EBITDA levels as follows:

At December 31, 2019, the interest cost on debt borrowed under the Credit Agreement was priced at one-month LIBOR plus the applicable credit spread of 150 basis points.
The most restrictive covenants in the Credit Agreement include:
Maximum indebtedness-to-adjusted EBITDA (“Leverage Ratio:) of 4.00x;
Minimum adjusted EBITDA-to-interest expense of 3.00x; and
Maximum aggregate distributions to shareholders over the term of the Credit Agreement of $130 million plus, beginning with the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2019, 50% of net income and, at a Leverage Ratio of equal to or greater than 3.00x, a limitation on such payments for the succeeding quarter at the greater of (i) $4.75 million and (ii) 50% of consolidated net income for the most recent fiscal quarter.
The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ assets, including equity in certain material first-tier foreign subsidiaries. 
At December 31, 2019, based upon the most restrictive covenant within the Credit Agreement, available credit under the Credit Agreement was approximately $370 million. Total debt due and outstanding at December 31, 2019 is summarized below:

Tredegar was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of December 31, 2019. Noncompliance with any of the debt covenants may have a material adverse effect on financial condition or liquidity in the event such noncompliance cannot be cured or should the Company be unable to obtain a waiver from the lenders. Renegotiation of the covenant through an amendment to the Credit Agreement may effectively cure the noncompliance, but may have an effect on financial condition or liquidity depending upon how the covenant is renegotiated.
