On August 4, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “2022 Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lender (“Wells Fargo”), which replaced its prior credit facility and provided the Company and its subsidiaries with a $35,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (which may be further increased by up to an additional $10,000 upon the request of the Company and at the sole discretion of Wells Fargo) and a $7,578 senior secured term loan (collectively, the “2022 Credit Facility”). The proceeds of the 2022 Credit Facility are available for general corporate purposes, including strategic growth opportunities. In connection with the 2022 Credit Facility, the Company incurred deferred financing costs in the amount of $479 primarily related to the revolving credit loan, which is net of accumulated amortization of $64. These costs are included in the “Other assets” line item of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2023.

The term loan also matures on August 4, 2027, with monthly payments based on an 84-month amortization.
