On October 1, 2015, HWC Wire & Cable Company, as borrower, entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “2015 Loan Agreement”), with Bank of America, N.A., as agent and lender, and the Company as guarantor. The 2015 Loan Agreement provides a $100 million revolving credit facility and expires on September 30, 2020. Under certain circumstances the Company may request an increase in the commitment by an additional $50 million. Borrowings under the 2015 Loan Agreement bear interest at the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate plus 100 to 150 basis points based on availability, if a LIBOR loan, or at a fluctuating rate equal to the greatest of the agent’s prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, or LIBOR for a 30-day interest period plus 150 basis points, if a Base Rate loan. The unused commitment fee is 25 basis points. Availability under the 2015 Loan Agreement is limited to a borrowing base equal to 85% of the value of eligible accounts receivable, plus the lesser of 70% of the value of eligible inventory or 90% of the net orderly liquidation value percentage of the value of eligible inventory, in each case less certain reserves. The 2015 Loan Agreement is secured by substantially all of the property of the Company, other than real estate.

On November 3, 2015, the Board of Directors approved a dividend on the shares of common stock of the Company in the amount of $0.06 per share, payable on November 27, 2015, to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 16, 2015.
