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 $37 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’s interest rate was 1.0% per annum with a maturity set for the second quarter of 2022. The Company applied for loan forgiveness in the fourth quarter of 2020 and received full forgiveness from the SBA. Both the $1.6 million in principal and $11,000 in accrued interest were forgiven effective December 30, 2020 and recognized as a non-taxable gain on extinguishment of debt.



The total balance of debt agreements at year end 2020 and 2019 was $13,465,574 and $3,475,088, respectively. 



On July 30, 2020, the Company secured through the 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 twelve months ended December 31, 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.
