On August 31, 2016, the Company amended its Credit Agreement with its bank to create a new credit facility in the form of an asset-based revolving line of credit in the amount of $45,000,000. The Line was used to refinance and consolidate all previous debt agreements. The maturity date of the Line was February 28, 2019. Interest on the Line was calculated using the One Month LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus a pre-defined spread. Borrowings under the Line were limited to an amount equal to a Borrowing Base calculation (as defined in the Credit Agreement) that includes eligible accounts receivable and inventory.
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company was required to pledge all of its tangible and intangible properties, including the stock and membership interests of its subsidiaries. In the Credit Agreement, the Company's bank agreed to release its liens on the real estate properties covered by the Purchase and Sale Agreement with Store Funding, as described in Note 12.
On October 30, 2017, the Company amended its Credit Agreement with its bank to increase the limit of the Line by $20,000,000 to a maximum of $65,000,000 and extended the maturity date to October 30, 2020. None of the other provisions of the Credit Agreement were changed as a result of this amendment.
Covenants under the Credit Agreement include maintaining a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a limitation on the Company’s maximum amount of capital expenditures per year, which is in line with currently projected needs. The Company evaluated this transaction and determined the restructuring should be accounted for as a debt modification. The Company incurred lender and third party costs associated with the debt restructuring that were capitalized on the balance sheet in non-current assets. At December 31, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
The line of credit interest rates were 3.44 percent and 2.62 percent at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Additionally, the Company is required to pay a fee equal to 0.125 percent on the average daily unused amount of the line of credit on a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2017, the amount available for borrowing under the line of credit was $56,726,959 of which $25,913,557 was borrowed, leaving $30,813,402 of availability. Average line of credit borrowings outstanding during fiscal 2017 and 2016 were $27,895,901 and $6,830,114 with weighted average interest rates of 3.09 percent and 2.88 percent, respectively.
The Company made interest payments on all credit facilities of $856,651 in 2017, $826,478 in 2016 and $1,149,163 in 2015.
