LONG-TERM DEBT LONG-TERM DEBT
We have a revolving credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., PNC Bank, N.A., HSBC Bank USA, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., and Key Bank, N.A. dated as of February 9, 2024 (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, as amended by the Second Amendment (as defined below), the “Amended Revolving Credit Facility”), which is set to mature on February 9, 2029. The Revolving Credit Facility, as amended by the Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated January 30, 2026 (the “Second Amendment”), provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $175.0 million. We have an option to increase the amount by $150.0 million, subject to lender approval. Included in the Amended Revolving Credit Facility is a $25.0 million sub-limit for swingline loans and a $25.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit.
The maximum amount we can borrow under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base and minimum excess availability covenant. The borrowing base is determined by eligible receivable accounts as defined in the Second Amendment, less specific availability reserves. The minimum excess availability covenant is the greater of (a) 12.5% of the lesser of the borrowing base or the total line of credit and (b) $17.5 million. The minimum excess availability covenant may subsequently be replaced with a springing fixed charge coverage ratio covenant upon the satisfaction of meeting a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio test for two consecutive quarters occurring on or after September 27, 2026. The fixed charge coverage ratio covenant will thereafter apply when excess availability is below certain thresholds.

As of March 29, 2026, the borrowing base in effect was $121.3 million, leaving $36.0 million of unused borrowing base available.
Under the terms of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, we have the option to borrow funds under the revolving line of credit as a Term SOFR Loan, for a one-, three- or six-month term, or as a Base Rate Loan, as defined in the Amended Revolving Credit Facility. Under a Term SOFR Loan, we are required to pay a variable rate of interest on funds borrowed based on the Term SOFR Screen Rate two days prior for the equivalent term, plus an adjustment of 0.10%, plus an applicable spread between 1.75% and 3.50%. Under a Base Rate Loan we are required to pay a variable rate of interest on funds borrowed based on a base rate plus an applicable spread between 0.75% and 2.50%. The base rate is the greater of the one-month Term SOFR Screen Rate two days prior plus 1.00%, the prime rate (as announced by Bank of America), or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%. The applicable spread is determined by the consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the Amended Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 29, 2026, the outstanding balance under Term SOFR loans carried an applicable spread on the base rate of 3.50% and a weighted average base rate of 3.77%, resulting in a weighted average interest rate of 7.27%. The Term SOFR loans were primarily used to fund the acquisition of Healthcare Staffing Professionals, Inc. in the fiscal first quarter of 2025, and to support working capital requirements as revenue increased.
Under a swingline loan, we are required to pay a variable rate of interest on funds borrowed based on the base rate plus applicable spread between 0.75% and 2.50%, as described above. As of March 29, 2026, the applicable spread on the base rate was 2.50% and the base rate was 6.75%, resulting in an interest rate of 9.25%.
A commitment fee between 0.35% and 0.50% is applied against the Amended Revolving Credit Facility’s unused borrowing capacity, with the specific rate determined by the consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the Amended Revolving Credit Facility. Letters of credit are priced at a margin between 1.50% and 3.25%, with the specific rate determined by the consolidated leverage ratio, plus a fronting fee of 0.25%.
Obligations under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by TrueBlue and material U.S. domestic subsidiaries, and are secured by substantially all of the assets of TrueBlue and material U.S. domestic subsidiaries. The Amended Revolving Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, financial covenants.
As of March 29, 2026, we remain in compliance with all the requirements of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility.
