In accordance with the terms of the Partnership's $500 committed revolving line of credit (the "2018 Credit Facility") entered into in September 2018, which was replaced by a new line of credit in October 2022 (discussed below). Under the 2018 Credit Facility, the Partnership was required to maintain a leverage ratio of no more than 35% and minimum Partnership capital, net of reserve for anticipated withdrawals and Partnership loans, of at least $1,884. In addition, Edward Jones was required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of at least $1,344 and minimum regulatory net capital of at least 6% of aggregate debit items as calculated under the alternative method. The Partnership had the ability to draw on various types of loans. The associated interest rate depended on the type of loan, duration of the loan, whether the loan is secured or unsecured and the amount of leverage. Contractual rates were based on an index rate plus the applicable spread. The 2018 Credit Facility was intended to provide short-term liquidity to the Partnership should the need have arisen. As of September 30, 2022, the Partnership was in compliance with all covenants related to the 2018 Credit Facility.

 

There were no amounts outstanding on the 2018 Credit Facility or the uncommitted lines of credit as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. In addition, the Partnership did not have any draws against these lines of credit during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, except for periodically testing draw procedures.

 

In October 2022, the Partnership entered into a new $500 committed revolving line of credit (the "2022 Credit Facility"), which replaced the 2018 Credit Facility and has an October 2027 expiration date. In accordance with the terms of the 2022 Credit Facility, the Partnership is required to maintain a leverage ratio of no more than 35% and minimum Partnership capital, net of reserve for anticipated withdrawals and Partnership loans, of at least $2,809. In addition, Edward Jones is required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of at least $1,594, which may be reduced up to 10% if Edward Jones makes a one-time distribution to JFC within 90 days from the effective date of the agreement, and a minimum regulatory net capital of at least 6% of aggregate debit items as calculated under the alternative method. The Partnership has the ability to draw on various types of loans. The associated interest rate depends on the type of loan, duration of the loan and the amount of leverage. Contractual rates are based on an index rate plus the applicable spread. The 2022 Credit Facility is intended to provide short-term liquidity to the Partnership should the need arise.
