As reflected above, the Company’s committed credit facilities are scheduled to expire during the next twelve months following the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022. On April 21, 2022, the Company amended its senior secured syndicated loan facility to expand the revolving credit to $475.0 million and extend it through April 2025. Prior to the amendment, the senior secured credit facility comprised a $236.0 million revolving credit facility and a $165.0 million Term Loan A facility, which were both replaced with a $475.0 million revolving credit facility. The Company intends to renew or replace the other facilities as they expire, and based on the Company’s liquidity position and capital structure, the Company believes it will be able to do so.

The Company’s credit facility agreements contain financial covenants relating to financial measures on a consolidated basis, as well as on a certain stand-alone subsidiary basis, including minimum tangible net worth, minimum regulatory capital, minimum net unencumbered liquid assets, maximum net loss, minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and maximum funded debt to net worth ratio. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in the debt becoming payable on demand. As of March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants under its credit facilities.
