8. Bank Credit Facility

 

Our bank credit facility provides for a line of credit of up to $25,000. At February 25, 2023, we had $3,731 outstanding under standby letters of credit against our line, leaving availability under our credit line of $21,269. In addition, we had outstanding standby letters of credit with another bank totaling $250 at February 25, 2023. The line bears interest at the One-Month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“One-Month Term SOFR”) plus 1.5% and is unsecured. Our bank charges a fee of 0.25% on the daily unused balance of the line, payable quarterly. Under the terms of the bank credit facility, we must maintain the following financial covenants, measured quarterly on a rolling twelve-month basis:

 

 

Consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.4 times,

 

 

Consolidated lease-adjusted leverage ratio not to exceed 3.0 times, and

 

 

Minimum tangible net worth of $140,000.

 

We were in compliance with these covenants at February 25, 2023 and expect to remain in compliance for the foreseeable future. The credit facility will mature on January 27, 2025, at which time any amounts outstanding under the facility will be due.
