On March 17, 2022, our Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a stock repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to $300.0 million of our common stock. This stock repurchase program has no expiration date and replaced a previous stock repurchase program which was approved on May 31, 2019. All repurchases to date under our stock repurchase programs have been made through open market transactions.
For the 13 weeks ended March 28, 2023, we paid $9.6 million to repurchase 92,751 shares of our common stock. For the 13 weeks ended March 29, 2022, we paid $84.7 million to repurchase 1,060,618 shares of our common stock. As of March 28, 2023, $157.3 million remained under our authorized stock repurchase program.
On February 14, 2023, our Board authorized the payment of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.55 per share of common stock which represented a 20% increase compared to the quarterly dividend of $0.46 per share of common stock declared in 2022. The payment of quarterly dividends totaled $36.9 million and $31.8 million in Q1 2023 and Q1 2022, respectively.
We maintain a revolving credit facility (the "credit facility") with a syndicate of commercial lenders led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and PNC Bank, N.A. The credit facility is an unsecured, revolving credit agreement and has a borrowing capacity of up to $300.0 million with the option to increase by an additional $200.0 million subject to certain limitations, including approval by the syndicate of lenders. The credit facility has a maturity date of May 1, 2026.
The terms of the credit facility require us to pay interest on outstanding borrowings at LIBOR plus a margin of 0.875% to 1.875% and pay a commitment fee of 0.125% to 0.30% per year on any unused portion of the credit facility, in each case depending on our leverage ratio. The credit facility also has an Alternate Base Rate that may be substituted for LIBOR.
As of March 28, 2023, we had no outstanding balance on the credit facility and had $283.5 million of availability, net of $16.5 million of outstanding letters of credit. As of December 27, 2022, we had $50.0 million outstanding on the credit facility, which was repaid in Q1 2023, and $233.5 million of availability, net of $16.5 million of outstanding letters of credit. The outstanding amount as of December 27, 2022 is included as long-term debt on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The interest rate for the credit facility as of March 28, 2023 and March 29, 2022 was 5.47% and 1.20%, respectively.
The lenders’ obligation to extend credit pursuant to the credit facility depends on us maintaining certain financial covenants. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 28, 2023.
Guarantees
As of March 28, 2023 and December 27, 2022, we were contingently liable for $11.1 million and $11.3 million, respectively, for seven lease guarantees. These amounts represent the maximum potential liability of future payments under the guarantees. In the event of default, the indemnity and default clauses in our assignment agreements govern our ability to pursue and recover damages incurred. No material liabilities have been recorded as of March 28, 2023 and December 27, 2022 as the likelihood of default was deemed to be less than probable and the fair value of the guarantees is not considered significant.
