LINE OF CREDIT AND OTHER BORROWINGS

5. LINE OF CREDIT AND OTHER BORROWINGS

 

On December 1, 2017, the Company agreed to an Amended and Restated Revolving Line of Credit Note (the “Line”) and Third Amendment to the Loan Agreement with Santander Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”). The Company established a line of credit facility in the maximum amount of $15,000,000, maturing on December 1, 2022, with funds available for working capital purposes and other cash needs. The Line is unsecured and has been extended maturing on June 1, 2023. The loan agreement provides for the payment of any borrowings under the agreement at an interest rate range of either LIBOR plus 0.75% to plus 1.75% (for borrowings with a fixed term of 30, 60, or 90 days), or Prime Rate up to Prime Rate plus 0.50% (for borrowings with no fixed term other than to the June 1, 2023 extended maturity date), depending upon the Company’s then existing financial ratios. Currently, the Company’s ratio would allow for the most favorable rate under the agreement’s range, which would be a rate of 5.61%. The Company is also required to pay on a quarterly basis an unused facility fee of 10 basis points of the average unused balance of the note. The Company may terminate the line at any time during the five-year term and extension period, as long as there are no amounts outstanding.

 

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on its line of credit and was in compliance with all debt covenants.

 

As stated above, borrowings under our line of credit facility bear interest at variable rates based on LIBOR. Currently, the Federal Reserve Bank is considering options and transitioning away from LIBOR, and as such, has formed the Alternative Rates Committee (ARRC). The ARRC selected the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as an appropriate replacement. SOFR is based on transactions in the overnight repurchase markets, which reflects a transaction-based rate on a large number of transactions, better reflecting current financing costs. Discussions are ongoing with the Bank with regards to transitioning the rate for the Line from LIBOR to another appropriate rate such as SOFR.
