The Credit Facility includes a $500 million revolving line of credit, as well as provisions allowing for the increase of the credit facility commitment amount by an additional $250 million, if necessary, with the consent of the lenders. The bank syndication supporting the facility is comprised of a diverse group of eight banks led by JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. The Credit Facility matures September 27, 2024.

At December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $291 million available to borrow under the Credit Facility, plus the $250 million increase option, in addition to $55.7 million cash on hand. The Company classified $20 million as the current portion of long-term debt as of December 31, 2021, as the Company intends to repay this amount within the next twelve months; however, the Company has no contractual obligation to repay such amount during the next twelve months. The letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Credit Facility totaled $10.7 million at December 31, 2021.

Interest on borrowings under the Credit Facility is calculated at a spread over either the New York Federal Reserve Bank Rate, the prime rate, or the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), depending on various factors. The Credit Facility also requires a facility fee ranging from 10 to 25 basis points per annum on the unused portion. The Credit Facility is secured by the unlimited guaranty of the Company’s direct and indirect material U.S. subsidiaries and the pledge of 100% of the equity interests of its direct and indirect material foreign subsidiaries. The financial covenants of the Credit Facility include a leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio. The weighted average interest rates were 1.17% and 1.45% for the three-month periods ending December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
