DEBT AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS DEBT AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
2024 Credit Facilities - As of March 31, 2025, our primary financing arrangement is the 2024 Credit Facilities, which provides $2.0 billion in senior secured credit facilities, consisting of a $1.4 billion term loan (the “Term Loan”) and $600.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The 2024 Credit Facilities amend and restate the 2022 credit facility entered into on May 4, 2022 (the "2022 Credit Facility").
The 2024 Credit Facilities mature on November 1, 2029. The Term Loan provides for scheduled annual principal amortization payments of 5% in the first two years following closing, 7.5% annually in the third and fourth year following closing and 10% in the fifth year following closing, with the balance due at maturity.
The 2024 Credit Facilities contain certain restrictive covenants customary for facilities of this type, including restrictions on indebtedness, liens or other encumbrances, making certain payments, investments, or to sell or otherwise dispose of a substantial portion of assets, or to merge or consolidate with an unaffiliated entity. The 2024 Credit Facilities also limits our ability to make dividend payments. Historically, we have not paid cash dividends on our common stock. Our Board of Directors has discretion over the payment and level of dividends on common stock, subject to the limitations of the 2024 Credit Facilities and applicable law. The 2024 Credit Facilities contain a provision that, in the event of a defined change in control, the 2024 Credit Facilities may be terminated.
In addition, the 2024 Credit Facilities include a financial covenant requiring that Total Net Leverage Ratio not exceed 5.00 to 1.00 initially, stepping down in increments to 3.75 to 1.00 during and after the seventh fiscal quarter after the closing (with a limited ability to temporarily increase in connection with material acquisitions commencing in the sixth fiscal quarter after the closing). The 2024 Credit Facilities also require a Minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 and affirmative and negative covenants that are in each case generally similar to those contained in the 2022 Credit Facility, but with increases to certain baskets and caps and certain other exceptions. As of March 31, 2025 , we are in compliance with all covenants.
The balance outstanding under the 2024 Credit Facilities at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was as follows (in thousands):

We had approximately $384 million of available funds under the 2024 Credit Facilities at March 31, 2025, based on the terms of the commitment. Available funds under the 2024 Credit Facilities are based on a multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as defined in the 2024 Credit Facilities, and are reduced by letters of credit, other indebtedness and outstanding borrowings under the 2024 Credit Facilities. Under the 2024 Credit Facilities, loans are charged an interest rate consisting of a base rate or term SOFR rate plus an applicable margin, letters of credit are charged based on the same applicable margin, and a commitment fee is charged on the unused portion of the 2024 Credit Facilities.
Refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for further discussion on the 2024 Credit Facilities.
Other Line of Credit - We have an unsecured $20.0 million line of credit by and among CBIZ Benefits and Insurance, Inc. and Huntington National Bank. We utilize this line to support our short-term funding requirements of payroll client fund obligations due to the investment of client funds, rather than liquidating client funds that have already been invested in available-for-sale securities. The line of credit did not have a balance outstanding at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. On August 1, 2024, we renewed the line of credit and it will now terminate on July 31, 2025.
Interest Expense - Interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs, commitment fees, line of credit fees, and other applicable bank charges, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $25.2 million and $4.5 million, respectively.
