On September 25, 2023, the Company executed the First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "Bank"), which provides for a $10 million line of credit and a maturity date of June 1, 2024. On May 30, 2024, the Company executed the Second Amendment to the Second Amended Restated Credit Agreement which extended the maturity date to June 1, 2025 (the “Credit Facility”).
The Company may borrow, repay and reborrow amounts under the Credit Facility until its maturity date, at which time all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility must be repaid in full. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are available for general corporate purposes and working capital. The Credit Facility includes a $3.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit of which $1,050,000 was utilized at September 30, 2024. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at the Daily Simple SOFR rate plus a spread of 175 basis points. In connection with the amendments to the Credit Agreement, the Company paid bank fees and other expenses, which are being amortized over the remaining term of the Credit Agreement. The Company pays a commitment fee of up to 0.5% per annum, payable quarterly, based on the amount of unutilized commitments under the Credit Facility. The amortization and commitment fees are included in interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and were $37,000 and $50,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $100,000 and $101,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including financial covenants, financial reporting requirements and events of default. Financial covenants require the Company, on a combined basis with its guarantors, to maintain total liquidity including cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, held for sale of $100 million and an average daily cash balance of $35 million with the Bank, on a combined basis with all the guarantors, calculated as of the end of the month. In addition, the Credit Facility requires that $10 million of the minimum daily average cash deposits be held in a blocked account at the Bank, as cash collateral. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all assets of the Company, including pledges of 100% of the stock or other equity interest of each subsidiary except for the capital stock of a controlled foreign corporation (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code), in which case no such pledge is required. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants and has not experienced any limitation in its operations as a result of the covenants. Our ability to borrow under our Credit Facility is limited by our ability to comply with its covenants or obtain necessary waivers.
