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).



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, to provide increased liquidity, and to 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, to provide increased liquidity, and to 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.



The total balance of the debt agreements at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $13,462,614 and $13,465,574, respectively. The average interest rate on remaining debt was 1.6% as of March 31, 2021 and 2.2% as of December 31, 2020.  



On July 30, 2020, the Company secured through FHLBC a fixed 0.74% borrowing rate for a future $4.0 million loan 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 are 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 agreement.



There was no interest paid on these lines of credit during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
