(10) DEBT AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

 

Wells Fargo Revolving Line of Credit Facility

 

On December 23, 2014, the Company and Wells Fargo, entered into the Third Amendment, which modified the original Credit Agreement entered into between the Company and Wells Fargo on December 7, 2012 and all subsequent amendments to the Credit Agreement (First Amendment to the Credit Agreement entered into on December 20, 2013 and Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement entered into on November 4, 2014). The Line of Credit includes a letter of credit sub-feature that allows the Company to issue standby commercial letters of credit against the Line of Credit, not to exceed at any time an aggregate of $5,000. During 2014 and 2013, ZAGG did not issue any standby commercial letters of credit.

 

The Third Amendment provides a $25,000 Line of Credit and extended the maturity date from December 1, 2015 to December 1, 2016. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the total balance outstanding on the line of credit was zero and $17,543, respectively.

 

As consideration for entering into the Third Amendment, the Company agreed to pay to Wells Fargo an amendment fee of $10 as well as reasonable legal and collateral examination fees.

 

Borrowings and repayments under the Line of Credit may occur from time to time in the Company’s ordinary course of business through December 1, 2016. Any outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit mature and are due on December 1, 2016.

 

Any outstanding principal balance under the Line of Credit bears interest at a fluctuating rate per annum determined to be the sum of the (1) LIBOR margin established under the Credit Agreement (with the initial LIBOR margin being set at 1.25%) and (2) Daily Three Month LIBOR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in effect from time to time.  Each change in the rate of interest will become effective on each business day on which a change in Daily Three Month LIBOR is announced by Wells Fargo.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, Wells Fargo will adjust the LIBOR margin used to determine the rate of interest under the Line of Credit on a quarterly basis. The applicable LIBOR margin is calculated based on the Company's ratio of Total Liabilities to Tangible Net Worth (as these terms are defined in the Credit Agreement) in accordance with the following table:

 

Total Liabilities to Tangible Net Worth  Applicable LIBOR Margin 
     
1.00 or greater  1.25%
0.65 or greater, but less than 1.00  1.00%
Less than 0.65  0.75%

 

Under the Line of Credit, each adjustment is effective on the first business day of the Company’s fiscal quarter following the quarter during which Wells Fargo receives and reviews the Company’s most current fiscal quarter-end financial statements in accordance with the requirements established in the Credit Agreement.

 

In addition, under the Amendment the Company pays Wells Fargo a quarterly fee based on the average unused amount of the Line of Credit depending on the Company’s Leverage Ratio (as this term is defined in the Credit Agreement) based on the following table:

 

Leverage Ratio  Applicable Unused Commitment Fee (per annum) 
     
1.00 or greater  0.35%
0.65 or greater, but less than 1.00  0.25%
Less than 0.65  0.15%

 

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, $75 and $73, respectively, in unused line fees had been incurred and was included as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

At December 31, 2014, the interest rate on the Line of Credit was 1.13%, though as noted above, the outstanding balance was $0. At December 31, 2013, the weighted average interest rate on all outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit was 1.00%. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the effective interest rate was 0% and 1.11%, respectively.

 

The Company originally incurred and capitalized $238 of direct costs related to the establishment of the Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company amortized $66 and $120, respectively of these loan costs, which is included as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

The Company amortizes these deferred loan costs under the effective interest rate method. The carrying value of deferred loan costs at December 31, 2014 and 2013, was $60 and $126, respectively, and is included as a component of noncurrent other assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

 

Attached to the Credit Agreement are a number of financial and non-financial debt covenants. At December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all covenants associated with the Credit Agreement.
