The RVs included in retail inventories are financed by floor plan arrangements through a syndication of banks. The floor plan notes are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of FreedomRoads, LLC (“FR”), a wholly owned subsidiary of FreedomRoads, which operates the Camping World dealerships, and bear interest at one month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.05%,  2.40%, and 2.10%, for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. LIBOR was 0.62%,  0.36%, and 0.16% as of December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. Principal is due upon the sale of the related vehicle.

In February 2012, FR entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for floor plan financing (“Floor Plan Facility”). In 2013, the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was amended to extend the maturity date to October 2016. In 2014, the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was amended to extend the maturity date to October 2017. In August 2015, FR entered into a Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for the Floor Plan Facility to extend the maturity date to August 2018. On July 1, 2016, FR entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for the Floor Plan Facility to, among other things, increase the available amount under the Floor Plan Facility from $880.0 million to $1.18 billion, amend the applicable borrowing rate margin on LIBOR and base rate loans ranging from 2.05% to 2.50% and 0.55% and 1.00%, respectively, based on the consolidated current ratio at FR, and extend the maturity date to June 30, 2019. The letter of credit commitment within the Floor Plan Facility remained at $15.0 million. The Floor Plan Facility includes an offset account that allows the Company to transfer cash as an offset to the payable under the Floor Plan Facility. These transfers reduce the amount of liability outstanding under the floor plan notes payable that would otherwise accrue interest, while retaining the ability to transfer amounts from the offset account into the Company’s operating cash accounts. As a result of using the floor plan offset account, the Company experiences a reduction in floor plan interest expense in its consolidated statements of income. The credit agreement governing the Floor Plan Facility contains certain financial covenants. FR was in compliance with all debt covenants at December 31, 2016.

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the principal amount outstanding under the Floor Plan Facility was $625.2 million and $598.4 million, respectively, which was net of the floor plan offset account of $68.5 million and $13.6 million, respectively.
