Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement
 
Libbey Glass and Libbey Europe entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of
February 
8,
2010
and amended as of
April 
29,
2011,
May 18, 2012,
April 9, 2014
and
December 7, 2017 (
as amended, the ABL Facility), with a group of
four
financial institutions. The ABL Facility provides for borrowings of up to
$100.0
million, subject to certain borrowing base limitations, reserves and outstanding letters of credit.
 
All borrowings under the ABL Facility are secured by:
 
a
first
-priority security interest in substantially all of the existing and future personal property of Libbey Glass and its domestic subsidiaries (ABL Priority Collateral);
 
a
first
-priority security interest in:
 
100
percent of the stock of Libbey Glass and
100
percent of the stock of substantially all of Libbey Glass’s present and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries;
 
100
percent of the non-voting stock of substantially all of Libbey Glass’s
first
-tier present and future foreign subsidiaries; and
 
65
percent of the voting stock of substantially all of Libbey Glass’s
first
-tier present and future foreign subsidiaries;
 
a
first
-priority security interest in substantially all proceeds and products of the property and assets described above; and
 
a
second
-priority security interest in substantially all of the owned real property, equipment and fixtures in the United States of Libbey Glass and its domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens (Term Priority Collateral).
 
Additionally, borrowings by Libbey Europe under the ABL Facility are secured by:
 
a
first
-priority lien on substantially all of the existing and future real and personal property of Libbey Europe and its Dutch subsidiaries; and
 
a
first
-priority security interest in:
 
100
percent of the stock of Libbey Europe and
100
percent of the stock of substantially all of the Dutch subsidiaries; and
 
100
percent (or a lesser percentage in certain circumstances) of the outstanding stock issued by the
first
-tier foreign subsidiaries of Libbey Europe and its Dutch subsidiaries.
 
Swingline borrowings are limited to
$10.0
million, with swingline borrowings for Libbey Europe being limited to the U.S. equivalent of
$5.0
million. Loans comprising each CBFR (CB Floating Rate) Borrowing, including each Swingline Loan, bear interest at the CB Floating Rate plus the Applicable Rate, and euro-denominated swingline borrowings (Eurocurrency Loans) bear interest calculated at the Netherlands swingline rate, as defined in the ABL Facility, subject to a LIBOR floor of
0.0
percent. The Applicable Rates for CBFR Loans and Eurocurrency Loans vary depending on our aggregate remaining availability. The Applicable Rates for CBFR Loans and Eurocurrency Loans were
0.75
percent and
1.75
percent, respectively, at
December 
31,
2019.
Libbey pays a quarterly Commitment Fee, as defined by the ABL Facility, on the total credit provided under the ABL Facility. The Commitment Fee was
0.25
percent at
December 
31,
2019.
No
compensating balances are required by the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility does
not
require compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant, unless aggregate unused availability falls below
$10.0
million. If our aggregate unused ABL availability were to fall below
$10.0
million, the fixed charge coverage ratio requirement would be
1:00
to
1:00.
Libbey Glass and Libbey Europe have the option to increase the ABL Facility by
$25.0
million. At
December 
31,
2019,
Libbey Europe had outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility of
$17.4
million, and Libbey Glass had
no
outstanding borrowings. At
December 
31,
2018,
Libbey Glass and Libbey Europe had outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility of
$3.5
million and
$16.4
million, respectively. Interest is payable on the last day of the interest period, which can range from
one
month to
six
months depending on the maturity of each individual borrowing on the ABL facility.
 
The borrowing base under the ABL Facility is determined by a monthly analysis of the eligible accounts receivable and inventory. The borrowing base is the sum of (a) 
85
percent of eligible accounts receivable and (b) the lesser of (i) 
85
percent of the net orderly liquidation value (NOLV) of eligible inventory, (ii) 
65
percent of eligible inventory, or (iii)
$75.0
million.
 
The ABL Facility also provides for the issuance of up to
$15.0
million of letters of credit that, when outstanding, are applied against the
$100.0
million limit. At
December 
31,
2019,
$10.0
million in letters of credit and other reserves were outstanding. Remaining unused availability under the ABL Facility was
$68.2
million at
December 
31,
2019,
compared to
$71.6
million under the ABL Facility at
December 
31,
2018.
 
Term Loan B
 
On
April 9, 2014,
Libbey Glass consummated its
$440.0
million Senior Secured Term Loan B of Libbey Glass due
2021
(Term Loan B). The net proceeds of the Term Loan B were
$438.9
million, after the
0.25
percent original issue discount of
$1.1
million. The Term Loan B had related fees of approximately
$6.7
million that will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the loan.
 
The Term Loan B is evidenced by a Senior Secured Credit Agreement, dated
April 9, 2014 (
Credit Agreement), between Libbey Glass, the Company, the domestic subsidiaries of Libbey Glass listed as guarantors therein (Subsidiary Guarantors and together with the Company, Guarantors), and the lenders. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, aggregate principal of
$1.1
million is due on the last business day of each quarter. The Term Loan B bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus
3.0
percent, subject to a LIBOR floor of
0.75
percent. The interest rate was
4.71
percent per year at
December 
31,
2019
and
5.39
percent at
December 
31,
2018,
and will mature on
April 
9,
2021.
Although the Credit Agreement does
not
contain financial covenants, the Credit Agreement contains other covenants that restrict the ability of Libbey Glass and the Guarantors to, among other things:
 
 
incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness;
 
pay dividends, make certain investments or other restricted payments;
 
create liens;
 
enter into affiliate transactions;
 
merge or consolidate, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all the assets of Libbey Glass and the Guarantors; and
 
transfer or sell assets.
 
We
may
voluntarily prepay, in whole or in part, the Term Loan B without premium or penalty but with accrued interest. Beginning with the year-ended
December 31, 2015,
the Credit Agreement requires us to make an annual mandatory prepayment offer to lenders of
0.0
to
50.0
percent of our excess cash flow, depending on our excess cash flow and leverage ratios as defined in the Credit Agreement. The calculation is made at the end of each year and the mandatory prepayment offer to lenders is made
no
later than
ten
business days after the filing of our annual compliance certificate to the lenders. The amount of any required mandatory prepayment offer is reduced by the amounts of any optional prepayments we made during the applicable year or prior to the prepayment offer in the year the offer is required to be made. The anticipated payment associated with our
2019
financial results is included in long-term debt due within
one
year on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
 
The Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default, including cross default with the ABL Facility. In the case of an event of default as defined in the Credit Agreement, all of the outstanding Term Loan B will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. The Term Loan B and the related guarantees under the Credit Agreement are secured by (i) 
first
priority liens on the Term Priority Collateral and (ii) 
second
priority liens on the ABL Collateral.
 
On
April 1, 2015
and
September 24, 2018,
we executed interest rate swaps on our Term Loan B as part of our risk management strategy to mitigate the risks involved with fluctuating interest rates. The interest rate swaps effectively convert a portion of our Term Loan B debt from a variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future income. See note 12 for further discussion on the interest rate swaps.
 
Libbey Mexico Line of Credit
 
On
June 17, 2019,
Crisa Libbey Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. entered into a
