Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
As previously disclosed, Noodles & Company (the “Company,” “we,” or “our”) on November 20, 2019, amended its 2018 Credit Facility by entering into the First Amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Amended Credit Facility”). The Amended Credit Facility includes a revolving credit agreement under which we can borrow up to $75.0 million. The material terms of the Amended Credit Facility are described under “Note 4 – Long-Term Debt” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for Noodles & Company which is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2020, and which description is incorporated herein by reference.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $42.6 million of indebtedness (excluding $1.4 million of unamortized debt issuance costs) and $3.2 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility.
On March 26, 2020 and as a precautionary measure, we provided notice to the lenders under the Amended Credit Facility of our desire to borrow an additional $27.0 million under the Amended Credit Facility. With the draw down and existing cash, the Company currently has over $52.5 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, we remain in compliance with all financial covenants set forth in the Amended Credit Facility.
In light of the current uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak and notwithstanding our healthy cash balance previously described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, we increased our borrowing as a precautionary measure in order to bolster our cash position and enhance financial flexibility. The proceeds from these borrowings are being held on our balance sheet and may in the future be used for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, working capital, capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business, or other lawful corporate purposes, all in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended Credit Facility.
