Credit Agreement
On October 10, 2018, we executed a First Amendment (the " First Amendment") to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. ("BofA") dated November 30, 2015 (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement as amended by the First Amendment provides for a revolving line of credit (“Line of Credit”), including provisions for cash borrowings and up to $2.5 million notional amount of letters of credit, and a $10.8 million term loan (“Term Loan”). The primary changes effected by the First Amendment were to increase the maximum amount available under the Line of Credit from $40.0 million to $45.0 million and to extend the maturity date of the Line of Credit from November 30, 2020 to September 30, 2023, which is also the maturity date of the Term Loan. The maximum amount of the Line of Credit is subject to loan commitment reductions in the amount of $750,000 each quarter beginning March 31, 2020. The Amendment also increased the limit on the total amount of investments that we may make in other craft brewers, other than the acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets or controlling ownership interests, from $5.0 million to $10.0 million. We may draw upon the Line of Credit for working capital and general corporate purposes.

As of March 31, 2019, we had $5.3 million in funds available to be drawn upon from our Line of Credit and $39.7 million borrowings outstanding. At March 31, 2019, $8.7 million was outstanding under the Term Loan.

Under the Credit Agreement as in effect at March 31, 2019, interest accrues at an annual rate based on the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) Daily Floating Rate plus a marginal rate. The marginal rate varies from 0.75% to 1.75% for the Line of Credit and Term Loan based on our funded debt ratio. At March 31, 2019, our marginal rate was 1.75%, resulting in an annual interest rate of 3.24%.

Accrued interest for the Term Loan is due and payable monthly. Principal payments on the Term Loan are due monthly in accordance with an agreed-upon schedule set forth in the Credit Agreement, with any unpaid principal balance and unpaid accrued interest due and payable on September 30, 2023.

The Credit Agreement authorizes acquisitions within the same line of business as long as we remain in compliance with the financial covenants of the Credit Agreement and there is at least $5.0 million of availability remaining on the Line of Credit following the acquisition.

The Credit Agreement as in effect at March 31, 2019 required us to satisfy the following financial covenants: (i) a Consolidated Leverage Ratio of up to 3.50 to 1.00 and (ii) a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.20 to 1.00. Failure to maintain compliance with these covenants is an event of default and would give BofA the right to declare the entire outstanding loan balance immediately due and payable.

At March 31, 2019, we were not in compliance with the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (the "Leverage Ratio") covenant for the Credit Agreement, as we did not to meet the required Consolidated Funded Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA ("EBITDA") ratio for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2019. We executed a Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement with BofA effective May 7, 2019 ( the “Second Amendment”) that increased the permitted Leverage Ratio to a maximum of 5.50 to 1.00 for the period from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019. Beginning July 1, 2019, and in each fiscal quarter thereafter, the maximum Leverage Ratio will be 3.50 to 1.00 as long as A-B has not made a Qualifying Offer as defined in the International Distributor Agreement with an affiliate of A-B. If A-B makes a Qualifying Offer on or before August 23, 2019, beginning July 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020, the maximum Leverage Ratio will be 4.75 to 1.00; and beginning April 1, 2020, and in each fiscal quarter thereafter, the maximum Leverage Ratio will be 3.50 to 1.00. EBITDA as defined in the Second Amendment is similar to Consolidated EBITDA but includes certain adjustments specified in the Second Amendment.
