4. DEBT In April 2019, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Truist Bank, (formerly known as SunTrust Bank) and Bank of America, N.A. (the “Credit Agreement”) for an unsecured Revolving Commitment of up to $175.0 million, which includes a $75.0 million letter of credit subfacility and a $25.0 million swingline subfacility (the “Revolving Commitment”) and an unsecured variable rate $250.0 million Term Loan (the “Term Loan”). Both the Revolving Commitment and the Term Loan (the “Credit Facility”) have five-year durations commencing on . In addition, the agreement has provisions to extend the duration beyond the Revolving Commitment termination date as well as optional prepayment rights at any time and from time to time to prepay any borrowing, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. As of December 31, 2021, the Revolving Commitment had outstanding borrowings of $107.0 million and the Term Loan had outstanding borrowings of $48.0 million. As of December 31, 2020, there were $203.0 million in aggregate outstanding borrowings. The $155.0 million outstanding borrowings value approximated the fair value at December 31, 2021 based upon interest rates available to the Company as evidenced by debt of other companies with similar credit characteristics. Our effective interest rate on the debt outstanding as of December 31, 2021 was 0.85%. The effective interest rate is comprised of the 1-month LIBOR plus a margin of 75.0 basis points as determined by our leverage ratio calculation. The Company has partially prepaid the Term Loan ahead of the amortization schedule and therefore, as of December 31, 2021, the only required payment was a balloon payment of $48.0 million in April 2024. The Company maintains approximately $37.2 million in letters of credit. These letters of credit are required by the Company’s fronting insurance companies and/or certain states, due to the Company’s self-insured status, to secure various workers’ compensation and casualty insurance contracts coverage. The Company believes that it has adequate liquid assets, funding sources and insurance accruals to accommodate such claims. On January 27, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement with Truist Bank and Bank of America, N.A whereby additional term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $252.0 million were advanced to the Company. The Amendment also replaced LIBOR as the benchmark interest rate for borrowings with the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index rate (“BSBY”) and reset the amortization schedule for all term loans under the Credit Agreement. The maturity of all loans made under the Credit Agreement prior to the Amendment remains unchanged at April 29, 2024 and all other terms of the Credit Agreement remain unchanged in all material respects. Subsequent to year end, in conjunction with this Amendment, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all term loans under the Credit Agreement is $300.0 million (consisting of an outstanding principal balance of the initial term loan in the amount of $48.0 million and the additional $252.0 million term loan borrowing made). In order to comply with applicable debt covenants, the Company is required to maintain at all times a leverage ratio of not greater than 3.00:1.00. The leverage ratio is calculated as of the last day of the fiscal quarter most recently ended. The Company remained in compliance with applicable debt covenants at December 31, 2021 and expects to maintain compliance throughout 2022. |
