Credit Agreement

3 Months Ended

Mar. 28, 2020

Our revolving credit facility as of March 28, 2020, had a net aggregate availability of $450 million. The credit facility is for general corporate purposes and to meet our seasonal working capital requirements. The credit agreement provides the lenders with a collateral security interest in substantially all of our assets and those of our subsidiaries and requires us to comply with, among other things, a maximum leverage ratio (4.5x) and a minimum interest coverage ratio (3.0x). Under the terms of the credit agreement, we pay a variable rate of interest and a commitment fee based on our leverage ratio. The credit agreement matures in February 2024. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 28, 2020.

On March 17, 2020, we borrowed an additional $262 million under our credit agreement, which represented all remaining amounts then available under the credit agreement. The additional borrowings were undertaken as a precautionary measure to provide increased liquidity and preserve financial flexibility in light of current disruption and uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The following table summarizes our borrowings under the credit facility ($ in thousands):


	March 28, 2020			December 28, 2019
Outstanding borrowings	$	446,003		$	231,000
Outstanding letters of credit	$	3,997		$	3,497
Additional borrowing capacity	$	—		$	215,503
Weighted-average interest rate	2.9		%	3.5		%

On April 3, 2020, we amended the credit agreement to add a 364-day term loan facility up to an aggregate commitment of $75 million under our credit agreement for a total commitment amount of $525 million, with another $75 million available under our accordion (subject to lenders' approval). We fully drew down the term loan and secured an initial interest rate of approximately 3.27%, which is equal to the one-month LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin based on the then-current total leverage ratio. In addition, the amendment: (a) increases the floor for loans based on LIBOR to at least 0.75% and (b) prohibits the use of proceeds of the revolving loan, term loan or letters of credit under the credit agreement, as amended, to make capital distributions (as defined in the credit agreement, as amended, to include, among other items, dividends and share repurchases). No financial covenants were amended. The additional borrowings were undertaken as a precautionary measure to provide increased liquidity and preserve financial flexibility in light of current disruption and uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Proceeds may be used in the future for working capital and other general corporate purposes permitted by the credit agreement, as amended.
