ongoing investments in new technology and automation and the continued build-out and repurposing of assets at the Company’s Hazel Park, MI facility. This was partially offset by proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment which was originally intended to support production for the former fitness customer.
Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities was $2,249 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $8,453 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The $10,702 decrease was primarily driven by increased borrowings, but with higher debt repayments, resulting in a smaller rise in the Company’s debt balance during the current year period. Additionally, the Company repurchased 559,945 shares of its common stock during the current year period under our share repurchase program at a total cost of $4,947. During the prior year period, the Company repurchased 47,000 shares of its common stock under the share repurchase program at a total cost of $653. The Company’s decision to repurchase additional shares for the remainder of the current fiscal year will depend on business conditions, free cash flow generation, other cash requirements and stock price. See Part II, Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds for additional information regarding share repurchases.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On September 26, 2019, and as last amended as of March 31, 2022, we entered into the Credit Agreement with certain lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Agent. The Credit Agreement provides for a $200,000 Revolving Loan, with a letter of credit sub-facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5,000, and a swingline facility in an aggregate amount of $20,000. The Credit Agreement also provides for an additional $100,000 of capacity through an accordion feature. All amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement mature on September 26, 2024.
Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by first priority security interests in substantially all of our personal property and guaranteed by, and secured by first priority security interests in, substantially all of the personal property of, our direct and indirect subsidiaries: Center Manufacturing, Inc., Center Manufacturing Holdings, Inc., Center—Moeller Products LLC, Defiance Metal Products Co., Defiance Metal Products of Arkansas, Inc., Defiance Metal Products of PA., Inc. and Defiance Metal Products of WI, Inc.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a fluctuating LIBOR (which may be adjusted for certain reserve requirements), plus 1.00% to 2.00% depending on the current Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Under certain circumstances, we may not be able to pay interest based on LIBOR. If that happens, we will be required to pay interest at the Base Rate, which is the sum of (a) the higher of (i) the Prime Rate (as publicly announced by the Agent from time to time) and (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, plus (b) 0.00% to 1.00%, depending on the current Total Consolidated Leverage Ratio. The Credit Agreement also includes provisions for determining a replacement rate when LIBOR is no longer available.
At September 30, 2022, the interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Loan was 3.56%. Additionally, we had availability of $128,629 under the Revolving Loan at September 30, 2022.
We must pay a commitment fee at a rate of 0.20% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the aggregate unused revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement. We must also pay fees as specified in the Fee Letter (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and with respect to any letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains usual and customary negative covenants for agreements of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions on our ability to, subject to certain exceptions, create, incur or assume indebtedness, create or incur liens, make certain investments, merge or consolidate with another entity, make certain asset dispositions, pay dividends or other distributions to shareholders, enter into transactions with affiliates, enter into sale leaseback transactions or make capital expenditures. The Credit Agreement also requires us to satisfy certain financial covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00. At September 30, 2022, our interest coverage ratio was 17.46 to 1.00. The Credit Agreement also requires us to maintain a consolidated total leverage ratio not to exceed 3.25 to 1.00, although such leverage ratio can be increased in connection with certain acquisitions. As of September 30, 2022, our consolidated total leverage ratio was 1.30 to 1.00.
The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, including, among other things, payment default, covenant default, breach of representation or warranty, bankruptcy, cross-default, material ERISA events, material money judgments, and failure to maintain subsidiary guarantees. If an event of default occurs, the Agent will be entitled to take various actions, including the
