| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On September 9, 2022, ATI Inc. (the “Company”) and certain wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of the Company entered into that certain Amendment No. 2 to First Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amendment”) by and among the subsidiary borrowers party thereto (collectively, the “Borrowers”), the Company and other subsidiary guarantors party thereto (collectively, the “Guarantors” and together with the Borrowers, the “Loan Parties”), the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), PNC Bank, National Association, as Agent (the “Agent”), Bank of America N.A., as Joint Lead Arranger and Co-Syndication Agent, Citibank, N.A., J. P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., MUFG Union Bank, N.A., and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Co-Syndication Agents, and PNC Capital Markets LLC, as Joint Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner. The Amendment amends the First Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2019, by and among the Loan Parties, the Agent and the lenders party thereto, as amended (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”).
As amended, the Credit Agreement extends through September 9, 2027 and includes (a) a $200 million term loan (the “Term Loan”), and (b) a $600 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which includes a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $200 million and a swing loan facility of up to $50 million at any one time outstanding, and pursuant to which the Borrowers may borrow, repay and re-borrow amounts not to exceed the then-available maximum advance amount available under the Revolving Credit Facility, as long as no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing. Additionally, the Credit Agreement provides that the Company has the right to request one or more increases of up to $300 million in the aggregate, consisting of incremental terms loans or increases in the maximum amount available under the Revolving Credit Facility, or a combination thereof, provided that any such increase is in the sole discretion of the Lenders.
The obligations of the Loan Parties under the Credit Agreement currently are secured by each Loan Party’s respective (i) accounts receivable and inventory and (ii) solely to the extent related to such accounts receivable and inventory, proceeds, supporting obligations, chattel paper, documents, electronic chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments, deposit accounts, commercial tort claims, and letter-of-credit rights. Furthermore, the obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement have been guaranteed by the Guarantors. Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is based upon the amount of eligible inventory and eligible accounts receivable applied against certain advance rates. Additionally, the Credit Agreement provides the Company with the option of including certain machinery and equipment as additional collateral for purposes of determining availability under the Credit Facility. The applicable interest rate for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility includes interest rate spreads based on available borrowing capacity that range between 1.25% and 1.75% for SOFR-based borrowings and 0.25% and 0.75% for base rate borrowings.
The Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant whereby, at any time an event of default has occurred and is continuing or undrawn availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is less than the greater of (i) 10% of the then applicable maximum borrowing amount or (ii) $60.0 million, the Loan Parties must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.00:1.00, as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. Additionally, the Borrowers must demonstrate minimum liquidity specified by the Credit Agreement during the 90-day period immediately preceding the stated maturity date of its 3.50% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2025 and the 6.95% Debentures due 2025 issued by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Allegheny Ludlum LLC.
