4. BANK BORROWINGS

On January 27, 2017, we entered into Amendment Number Two to the Credit Agreement, which further amended the Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo and the lenders party thereto dated November 21, 2014 (as amended, the Credit Agreement).  The loan was secured by substantially all of our assets.

 

Our Credit Agreement and the obligations under the agreement matured on November 21, 2019. All remaining principal was paid prior to that date and all remaining deferred financing costs have been amortized to interest expense.

About Debt Disclosures

Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.

Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
