In April 2019, we amended, restated and extended the term of our existing $605,000 term loan facility with a group of banks. The interest rate is variable based upon the LIBOR rate.

We had no balances outstanding under this facility at April 30, 2020 and October 31, 2019. We were in compliance with all covenants at April 30, 2020, and the amount we could borrow under the facility would not have been limited by any debt covenants.
