Debt
 
On
July 31, 2018,
the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement, entered into on
March 23, 2015 (
the “Credit Agreement”). The Fourth Amendment allows for, among other things, a loan to the Company for the repurchase of up to approximately
2.8
million shares of capital stock from an individual shareholder, his affiliates, and a
second
shareholder, in an aggregate amount
not
to exceed
$8.6
million (“Term Loan C”); and allows for capital expenditure financing to the Company for the sole purpose of purchasing medical equipment in an aggregate amount
not
to exceed
$6.4
million (the “Equipment Line”). There are
no
principal payments due on the Equipment Line until
December 31, 2019
at which time it will convert to an additional term loan. The Fourth Amendment also made changes to certain covenants, specifically, to exclude borrowings used to fund the stock repurchases referenced above from the definition of fixed charges, as defined by the Credit Agreement, and to reduce the ratio of earnings before depreciation, income taxes and amortization to fixed charges from
1.25:1.0
to
1.15:1.0.
In addition, the Amendment eliminates the net worth covenant and the excess cash flow provisions while modifying the quarterly principal payment amounts. Term Loan C matures on
December 6, 2021,
and the Equipment Line matures on
December 31, 2024.
 
As of
December 31, 2018,
the Company was in compliance with all debt-related covenants under the Credit Agreement. Subsequent to the end of
2018,
the Company entered into a
fifth
amendment to the Credit Agreement as discussed in Note
13
in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form
