DEBT
 
Debt Obligation
 
 
ICC Holdings, Inc. secured a loan with a commercial bank in
March 2017
in the amount of
$3.5
million and used the proceeds to repay ICC for the money borrowed by the ESOP. The term of the loan is
five
years bearing interest at
3.65%.
The Company pledged stock and
$1.0
million of marketable assets as collateral for the loan.
 
The Company also has borrowing capacity up to approximately
$33
million in the aggregate from its membership with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLBC).
 
In
March 2020,
the World Health Organization declared a pandemic related to the rapidly spreading coronavirus (COVID-
19
) outbreak, which has led to a global health emergency. As part of the Company's response to COVID-
19,
the Company obtained, in
March 2020,
a
$6.0
million loan from the FHLBC as a precautionary measure to increase its cash position and compensate for potential reductions in premium receivable collections. The term of the loan is
five
years bearing interest at
1.4%.
The Company pledged
$6.8
million of fixed income securities as collateral for this loan. The Company also obtained, in
May 2020,
a
$4.0
million
0%
interest,
one
-year loan from the FHLBC as an additional precautionary measure to increase its cash position and compensate for potential reductions in premium receivable collections as a result of the Company's announcement in
March 2020
to temporarily suspend all insurance premium billing for
30
days. The Company pledged an additional
$7.4
million of fixed income securities as collateral for both FHLBC loans.
 
In
April 2020,
the Company obtained a
$1.6
million loan (the PPP loan) from a commercial bank pursuant to the federally authorized Paycheck Protection Program (Program) administered by the Small Business Administration (the SBA). The PPP loan matures in the
second
quarter of
2022
and bears interest at a rate of
1.0%
per annum. Commencing the
fourth
quarter of
2020,
we will begin making loan payments. All or a portion of the PPP loan
may
be forgiven by the SBA upon application by us beginning
60
days, but
not
later than
120
days, after loan approval and upon documentation of expenditures in accordance with the SBA's requirements. Under the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of
2020
(the PPP Flexibility Act), (i) the
first
payment date for the PPP loan will be the earlier of (a)
10
months after the end of the “covered period” (as determined under the Program) or (b) the date the bank receives a remittance of the forgiven amount from the SBA, and (ii) the PPP loan's maturity is extended to
five
years (from
2
years). Pursuant to the PPP Flexibility Act, we can obtain the lender's consent for the PPP loan maturity to be extended to the
second
quarter of
2025
(from
2022
) and for the
first
payment date under the PPP loan to be extended as described in clause (i) of the previous sentence. 
 
The total balance
of the debt agreements at
September 30, 2020
and
December 31, 2019
was $
15,097,960
 and $
3,475,088
, respectively. The average interest rate on remaining debt was
1.5%
 as of
September 30, 2020
and

.
 
On
July 30, 2020,
the Company secured through FHLBC a fixed
0.74%
borrowing rate for a future
$4.0
million loan that becomes effective
May 3, 2021,
upon the maturity of the existing
$4.0
million FHLBC loan.  
No
collateral was pledged for this forward advance.
 
Revolving Line of Credit
 
 
We maintained a revolving line of credit with a commercial bank, which permitted borrowing up to an aggregate principal amount of
$1.75
million. This facility was initially entered into during
2013
and expired
August 5, 2020.
The line of credit was priced at
30
-day LIBOR plus
2%
with a floor of
3.5%.
In order to secure the lowest rate possible, the Company pledged marketable securities
not
to exceed
$5.0
million in the event the Company would draw down on the line of credit. There was
no
interest paid on the line of credit during the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2020
and
2019
. There were
no
financial covenants governing this agreement.
 
Effective
August 3, 2020,
the Company replaced its expiring line of credit with a
$2.0
million revolving line of credit with another commercial bank, which renews annually and has a current expiration date of
August 3, 2021.  
This new line of credit is priced at Prime plus
0.5%.
The Company pledged
$2.0
million of business assets in the event the Company draws down on the line of credit.  There are
no
financial covenants governing this line of credit.
