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 year term loan and $30,000 is a five year revolving loan, secured by substantially all of 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 December 31, 2014. This rate becomes an effective fixed rate of 2.9% after giving effect to an interest rate swap agreement, which matured in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.
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 December 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 December 31, 2014.
