The Term Loan Amendment provides for, among other things, (i) adjustments to certain financial ratio covenant compliance dates and (ii) $105 million in new incremental term loan commitments (the “2024 Incremental Term Loans”) under the Term Loan Agreement, such that after giving effect to the Term Loan Amendment, including the 2024 Incremental Term Loans, the Company has $649.5 million in outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement. The existing and new borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement mature on October 13, 2030 and are priced at Term SOFR (with a floor of 1.00%) plus 3.75%, or base rate plus 2.75%. Interest accruing at the Term SOFR rate is payable at the end of the applicable interest rate period (but at least, each three months), and interest accruing at the base rate is payable on the last business day of each calendar quarter.
The proceeds of 2024 Incremental Term Loans incurred will be used by the Company (a) to pay fees and transaction expenses associated with the closing of the Term Loan Amendment, (b) to finance permitted acquisitions, (c) to replenish cash on the balance sheet and/or repay ABL Obligations (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) incurred to finance permitted acquisitions and/or (d) for other lawful, general corporate, limited liability company or partnership purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries, including without limitation to finance permitted restricted payments, share repurchases, acquisitions, permitted capital expenditures and other investments of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The 2024 Incremental Term Loans are otherwise subject to the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement, including but not limited to representations and warranties, events of default, and affirmative and negative covenants.
