Amendment No. 3 to the ABL Credit and Guarantee Agreement - On April 10, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment Number Three to ABL Credit and Guarantee Agreement (the “LOC Amendment No. 3”) to that certain ABL Credit and Guarantee Agreement, dated as of February 12, 2018 (the “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 LOC Agreement with an interest rate based on the SOFR and related SOFR-based mechanics and (ii) updated certain other provisions of the LOC Agreement to reflect the transition from LIBOR to SOFR. The LOC Amendment 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 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 March 30, 2024, the SOFR Margin Rate was 1.25%). As of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the interest rate in effect for the facility was 6.6% and 6.8%, 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 .25% to .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 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 March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023. The unamortized portion of the fees as of both March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, was approximately $1.1. There were no borrowings outstanding on the line of credit as of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023.
As of March 30, 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 March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023 was approximately $124.6.

Notes Payable - Amendment No. 5 First Lien - On June 20, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 5 (the “Amendment No. 5 First Lien”) to the First Lien Credit and Guarantee Agreement, dated as of February 12, 2018 (the “First Lien Agreement”) (“First Lien Term Loan”). The Amendment No. 5 First Lien, among other things, (i) replaced the interest rate based on LIBOR and related LIBOR-based mechanics applicable to borrowings under the First Lien Agreement with an interest rate based on SOFR and related SOFR-based mechanics and (ii) updated certain other provisions of the First Lien Agreement to reflect the transition from LIBOR to SOFR. The Amendment No. 5 First Lien had an aggregate principal balance of $726.4 with interest payable in arrears. The outstanding loan balance was to be repaid on a quarterly basis of 0.28% of the original principal amount of the loans outstanding on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date (i.e., August 17, 2021) with the remaining principal due on the maturity date of February 12, 2025.
Notes Payable - Amendment No. 6 First Lien - On August 3, 2023, the Company refinanced its existing First Lien Term Loan pursuant to Amendment No. 6 (the “Amendment No. 6 First Lien”) to the First Lien Agreement. The loan was made by a syndicate of lenders, with the aggregate amount of $625.0. The outstanding loan balance is to be repaid on a quarterly basis of 0.25% of the original balance of the amended loan beginning the last business day of December 2023 with the remaining principal due on the maturity date of August 3, 2030. As chosen by the Company, the amended loan bears interest at a floating rate per annum consisting of Adjusted Term SOFR plus an applicable margin percent. As a result of a Credit rating upgrade in March 2024, the term agreement allowed the previous applicable margin rate to decrease from 3.25% to 3.00%. The interest rate on the Amendment No. 6 First Lien term loan as of March 30, 2024, was 8.37%, which is a variable rate based on Adjusted Term SOFR, subject to a 1.00% floor, and includes a 0.10% CSA and an applicable margin percentage of 3.00%.
The debt was secured by substantially all business assets. There are no prepayment penalties if the company makes voluntary prepayments on the outstanding principal balance.
In conjunction with the Amendment No 6, the Company incurred $9.5 of additional deferred finance costs, which will be amortized over the remaining term of the modified loan. Amortization of approximately $0.4 and $1.3 was recognized for the three month periods ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, respectively, as a component of interest expense. The unamortized portion of the fees as of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, was approximately $11.4 and $11.8, respectively.
