Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On September 21, 2012, Barrett Business Services, Inc. (the "Company"), drew down $7,600,000 pursuant to a new credit agreement (the "Agreement") with its principal bank, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the "Bank"), dated as of September 18, 2012. The Agreement, which expires October 1, 2017, provides for a revolving credit facility with initial borrowing capacity of up to $24,000,000. The Agreement also provides for the continuance of existing standby letters of credit, as to which the current amount outstanding totaled approximately $23,800,000 on September 21, 2012.
Advances under the revolving credit facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either (a) a fixed rate for a term selected by the Company from time-to-time or (b) a fluctuating rate. In each case, the rate is calculated based on LIBOR plus 1.75%.
The credit facility is collateralized by the Company's accounts receivable and other rights to receive payment, general intangibles, inventory and equipment. Under the Agreement, the maximum principal amount available will be reduced by $2,500,000 every six months commencing April 1, 2013.
The Agreement requires the satisfaction of certain financial covenants as follows:
| · | Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage ratio of no less than 1.25:1.0, measured quarterly on a rolling four-quarter basis; |
| · | Funded Debt: EBITDA of no more than 2.25:1 through September 30, 2013; 1.75:1 through September 30, 2014; 1.5:1 through September 30, 2015; and 1.25:1 thereafter, measured quarterly on a rolling four-quarter basis beginning December 31, 2012; |
| · | Ratio of restricted and unrestricted cash and marketable securities to workers compensation and safety incentive liabilities of at least 1.0:1.0, measured quarterly; and |
| · | Prohibition on incurring additional indebtedness without the prior approval of the Bank, other than up to $200,000 per year in purchase money financing. |
The Agreement also contains customary events of default. If an event of default under the Agreement occurs and is continuing, the Bank may declare any outstanding obligations under the Agreement to be immediately due and payable.
