Long-Term Debt Line of Credit
Amendment No. 3 to the ABL Credit and Guarantee Agreement - On April 10, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment Number Three (the “LOC Amendment No. 3”) to that certain ABL Credit and Guarantee Agreement, dated as of February 12, 2018 (the “2018 LOC Agreement”). The LOC Amendment No. 3, among other things, (i) replaced the interest rate based on the LIBOR and related LIBOR-based mechanics applicable to borrowings under the 2018 LOC Agreement with an interest rate based on the SOFR and related SOFR-based mechanics and (ii) updated certain other provisions of the 2018 LOC Agreement to reflect the transition from LIBOR to SOFR. The LOC Amendment No. 3 provided for a revolving line of credit of $80.0 with interest payments due in arrears. The interest rate on the facility is based on a base rate, unless a SOFR Rate (as defined in the 2018 LOC Agreement) option is chosen by the Company.
2023 ABL Credit and Guarantee Agreement - On August 3, 2023, the Company refinanced the revolving credit facility, pursuant to a new ABL Credit and Guarantee Agreement (the “2023 LOC Agreement”). The 2023 LOC Agreement, among other things (i) increased the previous aggregate commitments from $80.0 to $125.0, (ii) updated the manner in which the previous borrowing base under the 2023 LOC Agreement was determined, and (iii) replaced the administrative agent with a new administrative agent. Interest payments with respect to the 2023 LOC Agreement are due in arrears. The maturity date is August 3, 2028.
The interest rate on the facility is based on a base rate, unless an Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the 2023 LOC Agreement) option is chosen by the Company. If the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate is elected, the interest computation is equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, which is subject to a 10 basis points flat credit spread adjustment (“CSA”) plus the SOFR Margin (as defined in the 2023 LOC Agreement) of either 1.25%, 1.50%, or 1.75%, based on excess availability (as of September 28, 2024, the SOFR Margin Rate was 1.25%). As of September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the interest rate in effect for the facility was 6.60% and 6.76%, respectively. The line of credit is collateralized by accounts receivable and inventories. The Company accrues an unused commitment fee to the administrative agent at the varying rate of 0.25% to 0.38%, based on the unused portion of the maximum commitment, as defined in the 2023 LOC agreement.
The Company incurred $1.3 of debt issuance costs, which were capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the facility that expires on August 3, 2028, using the straight-line method, and are presented as part of other assets within our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The amortization of the deferred loan costs is included in interest expense, net on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Amortization of approximately $0.1 was recognized for both the three month periods ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, and $0.2 was recognized for both the nine month periods ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023. The unamortized portion of the fees as of September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, was approximately $0.9 and $1.1, respectively. There were no borrowings outstanding on the line of credit as of September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023.
As of September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the Company maintained one letter of credit totaling approximately $0.4 on which there were no balances due. The amount available on the line of credit as of both September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023 was approximately $124.6.

Notes Payable - First Lien - As a result of a credit rating upgrade in March 2024, the First Lien term loan allowed the previous applicable margin rate to decrease from 3.25% to 3.00%. On April 18, 2024, the Company made a voluntary prepayment of $21.9 toward the First Lien Credit and Guarantee Agreement, dated as of February 12, 2018 (as amended to date, the “First Lien Term Loan”). As a result of the prepayment, the Company expensed an additional $0.4 for pro-ration of the unamortized debt issuance costs that was amortizing over the expected life of the borrowing. The Company used cash on hand to make the voluntary prepayment.
On April 30, 2024, the Company completed a repricing pursuant to Amendment No. 7 (the “Repricing Amendment”) to the First Lien Term Loan. The Repricing Amendment reduced the applicable interest rate margins on the $600.0 First Lien Term Loan from 2.00% to 1.50% for the term loans bearing interest at rates based on the base rate, and from 3.00% to 2.50% for the term loans bearing interest at rates based on the secured overnight financing rate. In addition to the change in the applicable margin rate, the Company is no longer subject to a CSA rate of 0.1%. Interest is payable in arrears (with respect to Base Rate loans) or at the end of an interest period selected by the Company (with respect to SOFR loans). The outstanding loan balance is to be repaid on a quarterly basis in an amount equal to 0.25% of the original balance of the amended loan, with the remaining principal due on the maturity date of August 3, 2030. The debt was secured by substantially all of the Company’s business assets. There are no prepayment penalties if the Company makes voluntary prepayments on the outstanding principal balance. The interest rate on the First Lien Term Loan as of September 28, 2024 was 7.75%, which is a variable rate based on Adjusted Term SOFR and includes an applicable margin percentage of 2.50%.
The Repricing Amendment was accounted for in accordance with ASC 470-50, “Debt - Modification and Extinguishment.” The First Lien Term Loan consists of a syndicate of lenders which were evaluated, for accounting purposes, as individual lenders. Certain lenders exited the Term Loan credit facility in connection with the Repricing Amendment, which resulted in extinguishment accounting. There were $599.0 of borrowings held by lenders in the First Lien Term Loan as amended by the Repricing Amendment, that were also held by lenders in the First Lien Term Loan prior to the Repricing Amendment.
As a result, the Company wrote off an immaterial portion of unamortized debt financing costs associated with the First Lien Term Loan prior to the Repricing Agreement, that was deemed extinguished and recognized within “Loss on extinguishment and modification of debt” on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. In conjunction with the Repricing Amendment, the Company incurred $1.7 of costs from third parties that did not qualify for capitalization of deferred finance costs, and were expensed within Loss on extinguishment and modification of debt on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
In conjunction with the Repricing Amendment, the Company incurred $0.2 of capitalizable deferred finance costs, which will be amortized over the remaining term of the modified loan. Amortization of deferred loan costs is included in interest expense on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Amortization of approximately $0.5 and $0.8 was recognized for the three month periods ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, and $1.8 and $2.9 was recognized for the nine month periods ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively
