The Inventory Financing Facility expires on December 1, 2023. The outstanding balance of the facility was $195.6 million and $114.2 million, as of December 31, 2021 and September 31, 2021, respectively.

On December 1, 2021, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Sixth Amended and Restated Inventory Financing Agreement to, among other things, increase the amount of Permitted Indebtedness to $380 million and to extend the term of the Inventory Financing Facility to January 1, 2022.

Effective October 1, 2021, interest on new boats and for rental units is calculated using the Adjusted 30-Day Average SOFR (as defined in the Inventory Financing Facility) (“SOFR”) plus an applicable margin of 2.75% to 5.00% depending on the age of the inventory. Interest on pre-owned boats is calculated at the new boat rate plus 0.25%. Wells Fargo will finance 100.0% of the vendor invoice price for new boats, engines and trailers. As of December 31, 2021 the interest rate on the Inventory Financing Facility ranged from 2.91% to 5.16% for new inventory and 3.16% to 5.41% for pre-owned inventory. As of September 30, 2021 the interest rate on the Inventory Financing Facility was calculated under the legacy London Inter-Bank Offering Rate and ranged from 3.08% to 5.33% for new inventory and 3.33% to 5.58% for pre-owned inventory. Borrowing capacity available at December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021 was $304.4 million and $278.3 million, respectively.

The Inventory Financing Facility has certain financial and non-financial covenants as specified in the agreement. The financial covenants include requirements to comply with a maximum Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Inventory Financing Facility) as well as a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Inventory Financing Facility). In addition, certain non-financial covenants could restrict the Company’s ability to sell assets (excluding inventory in the normal course of business), engage in certain mergers and acquisitions, incur additional debt and pay cash dividends or distributions, among others. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2021.

The collateral for the Inventory Financing Facility consists primarily of our inventory that is financed through the Inventory Financing Facility and related assets, including accounts receivable, bank accounts and proceeds of the foregoing, and excludes the collateral that underlies the term note payable to Truist Bank.
