In October 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to its existing credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) with its bank increasing the maximum borrowing amount from $30,000 to $40,000, of which $10,000 is a five (5) year term loan and $30,000 is a five (5) year revolving loan, secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries and a pledge of 65% of the stock of its Irish subsidiary. The term loan is repayable in quarterly installments of $500 starting December 1, 2011.

The term loan has a LIBOR-based variable interest rate that was 2.2% at March 31, 2014. This rate becomes an effective fixed rate of 2.9% after giving effect to an interest rate swap agreement.

Borrowing under the revolving loan bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.75% to 1.75%, which percentage fluctuates based on the Company’s leverage ratio of outstanding indebtedness to EBITDA. At March 31, 2014, the interest rate was 1.0%. The loans are subject to certain customary financial covenants including, without limitation, covenants that require the Company to not exceed a maximum leverage ratio and to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. There is also a commitment fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.25% to be incurred on the unused balance. The Company was in compliance with all applicable loan covenants as of March 31, 2014.

In connection with the purchase of the forging business and substantially all related operating assets from GEL Industries, Inc. (DBA Quality Aluminum Forge) (“QAF”), the Company issued a non-interest bearing promissory note to the seller, which note was paid by the Company in November 2013. The imputed interest rate used to discount the note was 2.0% per annum.
