DEBT AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS DEBT AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
2024 Credit Facilities - Our primary debt financing arrangement is the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2024, as amended by the First Amendment, dated as of March 7, 2025, by and among the Company, CBIZ, Inc. as the borrower, the lenders party thereto from time to time and Bank of America, N.A., as the agent, which provides $2.0 billion in senior secured credit facilities, consisting of term loans with an original principle amount of $1.4 billion (the “Term Loan”) and a $600.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan, as may be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "2024 Credit Facilities"). On April 29, 2025, the Company entered into a Second Amendment (the "Debt Amendment") to the 2024 Credit Facilities. The Debt Amendment added a usual and customary "Available Amount" basket available for making of certain investments and/or restricted payments (including share repurchases) from time to time subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions set forth therein and made certain other technical changes. The changes from the Debt Amendment have been accounted for as a modification under ASC 470, Debt ("ASC 470") and had an immaterial impact to the financial statements.
The 2024 Credit Facilities mature on November 1, 2029. The Term Loan provides for scheduled annual principal amortization payments of 5% in the first two years following closing, 7.5% annually in the third and fourth year following closing and 10% in the fifth year following closing, with the balance due at maturity.
The 2024 Credit Facilities contains certain restrictive covenants customary for facilities of this type, including restrictions on indebtedness, liens or other encumbrances, making certain payments, investments, or to sell or otherwise dispose of a substantial portion of assets, or to merge or consolidate
with an unaffiliated entity. The 2024 Credit Facilities also limit our ability to make dividend payments. Historically, we have not paid cash dividends on our common stock. Our Board of Directors has discretion over the payment and level of dividends on our common stock, subject to the limitations of the 2024 Credit Facilities and applicable law. The 2024 Credit Facilities contain a provision that, in the event of a defined change in control, the 2024 Credit Facilities may be terminated.
In addition, the 2024 Credit Facilities includes a financial covenant requiring that Total Net Leverage Ratio not exceed 5.00 to 1.00 initially, stepping down in increments to 3.75 to 1.00 during and after the seventh fiscal quarter after the closing (with a limited ability to temporarily increase in connection with material acquisitions commencing in the sixth fiscal quarter after the closing). The 2024 Credit Facilities also require a Minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 and affirmative and negative covenants that are in each case generally similar to those contained in our previous amended and stated 2022 credit facility, but with increases to certain baskets and caps and certain other exceptions. As of June 30, 2025 , we were in compliance with all covenants.

We had approximately $370 million of available funds under the 2024 Credit Facilities at June 30, 2025, based on the terms of the commitment. Available funds under the 2024 Credit Facilities are based on a multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as defined in the 2024 Credit Facilities, and are reduced by letters of credit, other indebtedness and outstanding borrowings under the 2024 Credit Facilities. Under the 2024 Credit Facilities, loans are charged an interest rate consisting of a base rate or term SOFR rate plus an applicable margin, letters of credit are charged based on the same applicable margin, and a commitment fee is charged on the unused portion of the 2024 Credit Facilities.
Refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for further discussion on the 2024 Credit Facilities and the 2022 credit facility.
Other Line of Credit - We have an unsecured $20.0 million line of credit by and among CBIZ Benefits and Insurance, Inc. and Huntington National Bank ("line of credit"). We utilize this line of credit to support our short-term funding requirements of payroll client fund obligations due to the investment of client funds, rather than liquidating client funds that have already been invested in available-for-sale
securities. The line of credit did not have a balance outstanding at June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. The line of credit was renewed in July 2025 and will now terminate on July 30, 2026.

Interest Expense - Interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs, commitment fees, line of credit fees, and other applicable bank charges, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was as follows (in thousands):
