(a)On May 27, 2019, we adopted ASC 842 and we eliminated this financing obligation, related to a sale leaseback, as part of the cumulative-effect transition adjustment. See Note 1, Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for more information.

(b)The interest rates on our lease financing obligations range from 2.51% to 3.68% as of February 23, 2020, and 2.72% to 4.33% as of May 26, 2019.

Credit Facilities

At February 23, 2020, we had no borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility (the “Facility”) and $495.1 million of availability under the Facility, which is net of outstanding letters of credit of $4.9 million. For the thirty-nine weeks ended February 23, 2020, borrowings under the Facility ranged from zero to $97.9 million and the weighted average interest rate for our outstanding borrowings under the Facility was 3.62%. During the latter part of March 2020, we borrowed $495 million on the Facility to increase our cash position as a precautionary measure in order to preserve financial flexibility considering the uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The borrowings may be used for general corporate purposes. The material terms of the Facility are described in Note 9, Debt and Financing Obligations, of the Notes to Combined and Consolidated Financial Statements in “Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the Form 10-K. Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at a floating rate per annum based upon the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin which varies based upon our consolidated net leverage ratio. Margins range from 0.500% to 1.250% for Base Rate loans and from 1.500% to 2.250% for Eurocurrency rate loans. The Base Rate is defined as the highest of (a) Bank of America’s prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.500%, and (c) the Eurocurrency rate with a term of one month plus 1.0%. The Facility matures on November 9, 2021.

New Term Loan Facility

On June 28, 2019, we amended our credit agreement to refinance $300.0 million of the $599.1 million term loan facility outstanding at May 26, 2019 and entered into a new credit agreement providing for a $300.0 million term loan facility (“New Term Loan Agreement”), for a lower overall interest rate, including anticipated patronage dividends. The New Term Loan Agreement bears interest, before anticipated patronage dividends, at LIBOR or the Base Rate (each as defined in the New Term Loan Agreement) plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.625% to 2.375% for LIBOR-based loans and from 0.625% to 1.375% for Base Rate-based loans, depending upon our total net leverage ratio. The borrowings under the New Term Loan Agreement mature June 28, 2024, and the covenants, events of default, and guarantees are consistent with the Facility. The New Term Loan Agreement also provides for the ability, under certain circumstances, to add incremental facilities in an aggregate amount of up to $100.0 million. In connection with the refinancing, we capitalized $1.0 million of debt issuance costs. During the thirty-nine weeks ended February 23, 2020, we recorded $1.7 million of expenses, in “Interest expense, net” for the write-off of debt issuance costs related to the portion of the Term loan facility due in 2021, that was paid in full.

For the thirty-nine weeks ended February 23, 2020 and February 24, 2019, we paid $58.0 million and $60.7 million of interest on debt, respectively.
