Debt
On May 27, 2011, Delta Apparel, Soffe, Junkfood, To The Game and Art Gun entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with the financial institutions named in the Loan Agreement as Lenders, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent, Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as Sole Lead Arranger, and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as Joint Bookrunners.
On August 27, 2013, Delta Apparel, To The Game, Junkfood, Soffe and Art Gun entered into a Consent and First Amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and the other lenders set forth therein (the "Amended Loan Agreement"). Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, in general and among other things, (1) the lenders and agent parties consented to the Salt Life Acquisition, (2) the maturity of the loans (other than the below referenced first in last out Tranche B ("FILO Tranche B")) under the Amended Loan Agreement was extended one year to May 27, 2017, (3) the lenders consented to Delta Apparel's Honduran subsidiaries borrowing up to an additional $10,000,000 from a certain Honduran bank in connection with the purchase of certain equipment, and (4) the FILO Tranche B was added to provide Delta Apparel and its affiliate parties to the Amended Loan Agreement an additional 5% borrowing availability with respect to eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory. The FILO Tranche B, and only the FILO Tranche B, will terminate by August 27, 2015 (subject to earlier cancellation by Delta Apparel), has a maximum borrowing availability of $10,000,000, and includes interest rates between 150 and 200 basis points higher than the rates applicable to the other loans available under the Amended Loan Agreement.
Pursuant to the Amended Loan Agreement, our line of credit is $145 million (subject to borrowing base limitations). Provided that no event of default exists, we have the option to increase the maximum credit available under the facility to $200 million (subject to borrowing base limitations), conditioned upon the Administrative Agent's ability to secure additional commitments and customary closing conditions.
At December 28, 2013, we had $98.0 million outstanding under our U.S. credit facility at an average interest rate of 2.5%, and had the ability to borrow an additional $26.7 million. Our credit facility includes a financial covenant requiring that if the amount of availability falls below an amount equal to 12.5% of the lesser of the borrowing base or $145 million, our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement) for the preceding 12 month period must not be less than 1.1 to 1.0. As availability was above the minimum, we were not subject to the FCCR covenant at December 28, 2013. At December 28, 2013, and September 28, 2013, there was $9.1 million and $9.9 million, respectively, of retained earnings free of restrictions to make cash dividends or stock repurchases.
The Amended Loan Agreement contains a subjective acceleration clause and a “springing” lockbox arrangement (as defined in FASB Codification No. 470, Debt ("ASC 470")), whereby remittances from customers will be forwarded to our general bank account and will not reduce the outstanding debt until and unless a specified event or an event of default occurs. Pursuant to ASC 470, we classify borrowings under the Amended Loan Agreement as long-term debt.
In conjunction with the Salt Life Acquisition, we issued two promissory notes in the aggregate principal of $22 million and committed to a payment contingent on certain performance targets being met with respect to the sale of Salt Life products in calendar 2019. The promissory notes are zero-interest notes and state that interest will be imputed as required under Section 1274 of the Internal Revenue Code. We have imputed interest at 1.92% and 3.62% on the promissory notes that mature on June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2019, respectively. At December 28, 2013, the discounted value of the promissory notes was $20.6 million.
In March 2011, we extinguished our existing debt with Banco Ficohsa, a Honduran bank, and entered into a new credit facility with it. The credit facility is secured by a first-priority lien on the assets of our Honduran operations and the loan is not guaranteed by the U.S. entity. The installment portion of the agreement carries a fixed interest rate of 7% for a term of seven years and is denominated in U.S. dollars. As of December 28, 2013, we had $4.1 million outstanding on the installment portion of this loan. The revolving credit portion of the loan has a 7% fixed interest rate with an ongoing 18-month term (expiring March 2019) and is denominated in U.S. dollars. The revolving credit facility requires minimum payments during each 6-month period of the 18-month term; however, the agreement permits additional drawdowns to the extent payments are made, if certain objective covenants are met. The current revolving Honduran debt, by its nature, is not long-term, as it requires scheduled payments each six months. However, as the agreement permits us to re-borrow funds up to the amount repaid, subject to certain objective covenants, and we intend to re-borrow funds, subject to the objective covenants, the amounts have been classified as long-term debt. As of December 28, 2013, we had $4.6 million outstanding under the revolving portion of the credit facility.
In October 2013, we entered into two new term loan agreements with Banco Ficohsa to finance our Honduran expansion project. These also are not guaranteed by the U.S. entity and are secured by a first-priority lien on the assets of our Honduran operations. The first loan, an eighteen month agreement for $1.8 million with a 7% fixed interest rate, is denominated in U.S. dollars, and has ratable monthly principal and interest payments due through the end of the term. As of December 28, 2013, we had $1.5 million outstanding on this loan agreement. The second loan, a seven year agreement for $4.2 million with a 7% fixed interest rate, is denominated in U.S. dollars, and has ratable monthly principal and interest payments due through the end of the term. As of December 28, 2013, we had $4.2 million outstanding on this loan agreement. The carrying value of these term loans approximates the fair value.
