Key Financial Metrics and Liquidity

  • Credit Facility: The renewed agreement provides a maximum aggregate commitment of $65.0 million.
  • Structure: Includes a $20.0 million revolving line of credit (with a $5.0 million cap on direct borrowings) and a $45.0 million credit card program.
  • Interest Rate: Advances bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus 1.75%.

  • Covenants: The agreement requires maintenance of debt service coverage, tangible net worth, and unencumbered liquid assets.

Material Changes

The credit agreement was renewed on substantially the same terms and conditions as the prior agreement. The primary change is the extension of the facility's term; if not renewed again, the agreement will expire on July 31, 2017. There were no changes to the borrowing status, as no funds were drawn.
