Note 10 - Credit Facility For fiscal years 2026, 2025 and 2024, interest expense was $ 556 612 549 primarily related to commitment fees on the Credit Facility described below. On November 15, 2021, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with a five-year term, expiring November 15, 2026. The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility” or “Revolver”) in an initial aggregate principal amount of up to $ 250 million, which includes a $ 15 sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $ 15 million sublimit for swingline loans. The Credit Facility also includes an accordion feature permitting, with the consent of BMO Harris Bank N.A. (the “Administrative Agent”), an increase in the Credit Facility in the aggregate up to $ 200 million by adding one or more incremental senior secured term loans or increasing one or more times the revolving commitments under the Revolver. No amounts were borrowed under the Credit Facility as of May 30, 2026 or May 31, 2025 or during fiscal 2026 or fiscal 2025. The Company had $ 5.9 standby letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility at May 30, 2026 . On May 26, 2023, we entered into the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, which replaced the London Interbank Offered Rate interest rate benchmark with the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federa l Reserve Bank of New York or a successor administrator of the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”). The interest rate in connection with loans made under the Credit Facility is based on, at the Company’s election, either the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin or the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. The “Adjusted Term SOFR” means with respect to any tenor, the per annum rate equal to the sum of (i) Term SOFR as defined in the Credit Agreement plus (ii) 0.10 % (10 basis points); provided, if Adjusted Term SOFR determined as provided above shall ever be less than the Floor, then Adjusted Term SOFR shall be deemed to be the Floor. The “Floor” means the rate per annum of interest equal to 0.00 a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50 % per annum, (b) the prime rate of interest established by the Administrative Agent, and (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR for a one 1.00 0.00 % to 0.75 % per annum for Base Rate Loans and 1.00 % to 1.75 % per annum for SOFR Loans, in each case depending upon the Total Funded Debt to Capitalization Ratio for the Company at the quarterly pricing date. The Company will pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Credit Facility payable quarterly from 0.15 % to 0.25 %, in each case depending upon the Total Funded Debt to Capitalization Ratio for the Company at the quarterly pricing date. On March 25, 2025, the Company entered into the Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. Under the Credit Agreement, a Change of Control is an event of default. The Second Amendment amended the definition of Change of Control to exclude from that definition the conversion (the “Class A Conversion”) of all outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock into Common Stock which occurred on April 14, 2025. The Credit Facility is guaranteed by substantially all the current and future wholly-owned direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”), and is secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in substantially all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ accounts, payment intangibles, instruments (including promissory notes), chattel paper, inventory (including farm products) and deposit accounts maintained with the Administrative Agent. The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, including restrictions on the incurrence of liens, incurrence of additiona l debt, sales of assets and other fundamental corporate changes and investments. The Credit Agreement requires maintenance of two financial covenants: (i) a maximum Total Funded Debt to Capitalization Ratio tested quarterly of no greater than 50 %; and (ii) a requirement to maintain Minimum Tangible Net Worth at all times of $ 700 50 % of net income (if net income is positive) less permitted restricted payments for each fiscal quarter after November 27, 2021. The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default and customary remedies upon the occurrence of an event of default, including acceleration of the amounts due under the Credit Facility and foreclosure of the collateral securing the Credit Faci lity. Further, under the terms of the Credit Agreement, payment of dividends under the Company ’s current dividend policy of one- third of the Company ’s net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, and payment of other dividends or repurchases by the Company of its capital stock is allowed, as long as after giving effect to such dividend payments or repurchases no default has occurred and is continuing and the sum of cash and cash equivalents of the Company and its subsidiaries plus availability under the Credit Facility equals at least $ 50 At May 30, 2026, we were in compliance with the covenant requirements of the Credit Agreement.
