Note 4 – Borrowings

The Company maintains an asset-based revolving Credit Facility that provides for, among other things a revolving commitment, which is subject to a borrowing base derived from certain receivables, inventory and property and equipment.

On June 17, 2022, the Company and JPMorgan entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) amending and restating in its entirety the original Credit Agreement dated April 26, 2012, as amended through the Fourteenth Amendment. The Credit Agreement, as amended and restated, provides for the revolving commitment in an aggregated principal amount of $75,000 (formerly $30,000) and allows for an uncommitted ability to increase the aggregate principal amount by an additional $75,000 to $150,000 (formerly $40,000 maximum) subject to certain terms and conditions. The Credit Facility matures on June 17, 2027.

As of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s outstanding revolving loan balance was $0, respectively. As of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our outstanding standby letters of credit balance was $680 and $620, respectively, and we had $0 of our trade letters of credit outstanding in accounts payable in our consolidated balance sheets.

Loans drawn under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a per annum rate equal to either (a) SOFR plus an applicable margin of 1.50% to 2.00% per annum based on the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio, or (b) a “an alternate prime base rate” subject to an increase from 0.00% to 0.50% per annum based on the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio. As of December 30, 2023, the Company’s SOFR based interest rate was 7.45% and the Company’s prime based rate was 9.00%. A commitment fee, based upon undrawn availability under the Credit Facility bearing interest at a rate of either 0.20% or 0.25% per annum based upon undrawn availability, is payable monthly. Under the terms of the terms of the agreement with JPMorgan, cash receipts are deposited into a lock-box, which are at the Company’s discretion unless the “cash dominion period” is in effect, during which cash receipts will be used to reduce amounts owing under the Credit Agreement. The cash dominion period is triggered in an event of default or if excess availability is less than the $9,000 for three consecutive business days, and will continue until, during the preceding 45 consecutive days, no event of default existed and excess availability has been greater than $9,000 at all times (with the trigger subject to adjustment based on the Company’s revolving commitment). In addition, the Company’s required excess availability related to the “Covenant Testing Trigger Period” (as defined under the Credit Agreement) is less than $7,500 for three consecutive business days, the Company shall be required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0, and continuing until excess availability has been greater than or equal to $7,500 at all times for 45 consecutive days (with the trigger subject to adjustment based on the Company’s revolving commitment).

Certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries are co-borrowers (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”) under the Credit Agreement, and certain other domestic subsidiaries are guarantors (the “Guarantors” and, together with

the Borrowers, the “Loan Parties”) under the Credit Agreement. The Borrowers and the Guarantors are jointly and severally liable for the Borrowers’ obligations under the Credit Agreement. The Loan Parties’ obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured, subject to customary permitted liens and certain exclusions, by a perfected security interest in (a) all tangible and intangible assets and (b) all of the capital stock owned by the Loan Parties (limited, in the case of foreign subsidiaries, to 65% of the capital stock of such foreign subsidiaries). The Borrowers may voluntarily prepay the loans at any time. The Borrowers are required to make mandatory prepayments of the loans (without payment of a premium) with net cash proceeds received upon the occurrence of certain “prepayment events,” which include certain sales or other dispositions of collateral, certain casualty or condemnation events, certain equity issuances or capital contributions, and the incurrence of certain debt.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, including, among other things, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, investments, dispositions, prepayment of other indebtedness, mergers, and dividends and other distributions. The Credit Agreement requires us to obtain a prior written consent from JPMorgan when we determine to pay any dividends on or make any distribution with respect to our common stock.

Events of default under the Credit Agreement include: failure to timely make payments due under the Credit Agreement; material misrepresentations or misstatements under the Credit Agreement and other related agreements; failure to comply with covenants under the Credit Agreement and other related agreements; certain defaults in respect of other material indebtedness; insolvency or other related events; certain defaulted judgments; certain ERISA-related events; certain security interests or liens under the loan documents cease to be, or are challenged by the Company or any of its subsidiaries as not being, in full force and effect; any loan document or any material provision of the same ceases to be in full force and effect; and certain criminal indictments or convictions of any Loan Party.
