Credit Agreement Credit Agreement
New Credit Agreement
On January 20, 2022, we entered into a senior secured credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") and revolving line of credit note (the "Note") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Bank”). The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility”) of up to $25.0 million (“Revolving Commitment”) consisting of revolving loans, letters of credit and swing line loans, with a sub-limit on letters of credit outstanding at any time of $15.0 million. The Revolving Facility matures on January 20, 2024. The payment and performance in full of the secured obligations under the Revolving Facility are secured by a lien on and security interest in all of the assets of our company.
The payment and performance in full of the obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a continuing guaranty (the "Guaranty") granted by the Company in favor of the Bank. The payment and performance of the Company’s obligations under the Guaranty are secured by a lien on, and pledge of, all of the equity interests owned by the Company.
Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the daily simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 0.75%. Amounts available to be drawn under outstanding letters of credit accrue fees in an amount equal to 1.00% per annum. The unused portion of the Revolving Commitment is not subject to a commitment fee.
Under the Credit Agreement, we are subject to a variety of affirmative and negative covenants of types customary in a cash-flow-based lending facility, including financial covenants that require maintenance of (1) a ratio of total funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and annual rent expenses no greater than 4.00 to 1.00 and (2) a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.00 (calculation of which takes into account dividends, distributions, redemptions and repurchases of the equity interests of the Company only if the Company’s cash on hand, net of any amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement, is less than $50.0 million after giving effect to such dividends, distributions, redemptions or repurchases).
Events of default under the Credit Agreement include, among other things, failure to pay principal, interest, fees or other amounts; covenant defaults; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; bankruptcy events with respect to the Company; actual or asserted invalidity of any of the loan documents; or a change of control of the Company.
In connection with the entry into the Credit Agreement, on January 20, 2022, we entered into certain ancillary agreements, including (i) a security agreement in favor of the Bank (ii) the Guaranty entered into by the Company, and (iii) a third party pledge agreement entered into by the Company in favor of the Bank. The security agreement, the guaranty and the pledge agreement replaced (i) the guaranty by the Company in favor of the Bank, dated November 9, 2020, and (ii) the security agreement dated as of November 9, 2020, between the Company and the Bank, which were both terminated concurrently with the termination of the Prior Credit Agreement (as defined below).
As of October 29, 2022, we were in compliance with all of our covenants and had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
Prior Credit Agreement
The Credit Agreement replaced our previously existing asset-backed credit agreement (the “Prior Credit Agreement”), dated as of November 9, 2020, as amended, with the Bank, which had revolving commitments of up to $65.0 million, a sub-limit on letters of credit of $10.0 million and a sub-limit for swing-line loans of $7.5 million.
The Prior Credit Agreement was terminated concurrently with the entry into the Credit Agreement. The maximum borrowings permitted under the Prior Credit Agreement was equal to the lesser of (x) the revolving commitment and (y) the borrowing base. The borrowing base was equal to (a) 90% of the borrower's eligible credit card receivables, plus (b) 90% of the cost of the borrower's eligible inventory, less inventory reserves established by the agent, and adjusted by the appraised value of such eligible inventory, plus (c) 90% of the cost of the borrower's eligible in-transit inventory, less inventory reserves established by the agent, and adjusted by the appraised value of such eligible in-transit inventory (not to exceed 10% of the total amount of all eligible inventory included in the borrowing base) less (d) reserves established by the agent. As of the date the Prior Credit Agreement was terminated, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, and the only utilization of the letters of credit sub-limit under the Credit Agreement was a $2.025 million irrevocable standby letter of credit, which was previously issued under the Prior Credit Agreement and was transferred on such date to the Credit Agreement.
The unused portion of the revolving commitment under the Prior Credit Agreement accrued a commitment fee, which ranged from 0.375% to 0.50% per annum, based on the average daily borrowing capacity under the revolving facility over the applicable fiscal quarter. Borrowings under the Prior Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum that ranged from the LIBOR rate plus 2.0% to the LIBOR rate plus 2.25%, or the base rate plus 1.0% to the base rate plus 1.25%, based on the average daily borrowing capacity under the Prior Credit Agreement over the applicable fiscal quarter. We were allowed to elect to apply either the LIBOR rate or base rate interest to borrowings at our discretion, other than in the case of swing line loans, to which the base rate shall apply.
Under the Prior Credit Agreement, we were subject to a variety of affirmative and negative covenants of types customary in an asset-based lending facility, including a financial covenant relating to availability, and customary events of default. Prior to the first anniversary of the closing date, we were prohibited from declaring or paying any cash dividends to our respective stockholders or repurchasing of our own common stock. After the first anniversary of the closing date, we were allowed to declare and pay cash dividends to our respective stockholders and repurchase our own common stock, provided, among other things, no default or event of default exists as of the date of any such payment and after giving effect thereto, certain minimum availability and minimum projected availability tests are satisfied.
