Credit Agreement In conjunction with our acquisition of Healthland Holding Inc. ("HHI") in January 2016, we entered into a syndicated credit agreement with Regions Bank ("Regions") serving as administrative agent, which provided for a $125 million term loan facility and a $50 million revolving credit facility. On June 16, 2020, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that increased the aggregate principal amount of our credit facilities to $185 million, including a $75 million term loan facility and a $110 million revolving credit facility. On May 2, 2022, we entered into a First Amendment (the "First Amendment") to the Credit Agreement that increased the aggregate principal amount of our credit facilities to $230 million, which includes a $70 million term loan facility and a $160 million revolving credit facility. In addition, the interest rate provisions of the First Amendment reflect the transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") as the new benchmark interest rate for each loan. Each of our credit facilities continues to bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at our option, either (1) the Adjusted SOFR rate for the relevant interest period, subject to a floor of 0.50%, (2) an alternate base rate determined by reference to the greater of (a) the prime lending rate of Regions, (b) the federal funds rate for the relevant interest period plus one half of one percent per annum and (c) the one month SOFR rate, subject to the aforementioned floor, plus one percent per annum, or (3) a combination of (1) and (2). The applicable margin range for SOFR loans and the letter of credit fee ranges from 1.8% to 3.0%. The applicable margin range for base rate loans ranges from 0.8% to 2.0%, in each case based on the Company's consolidated net leverage ratio. Principal payments with respect to the term loan facility are due on the last day of each fiscal quarter beginning June 30, 2022, with quarterly principal payments of approximately $0.9 million through March 31, 2027, with maturity on May 2, 2027 or such earlier date as the obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, become due and payable pursuant to the terms of such agreement. Any principal outstanding under the revolving credit facility is due and payable on the maturity date. Anticipated annual future maturities of the term loan facility and revolving credit facility are as follows as of March 31, 2024: (In thousands) 2024 $ 2,625 2025 3,500 2026 3,500 2027 176,791 $ 186,416 Our credit facilities are secured pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2020, among the parties identified as obligors therein and Regions, as collateral agent, on a first priority basis by a security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets (subject to certain exceptions) of the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), including certain registered intellectual property and the capital stock of certain of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries. Our obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are also guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors. The First Amendment provides incremental facility capacity of $75 million, subject to certain conditions. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, includes a number of restrictive covenants that, among other things and in each case subject to certain exceptions and baskets, impose operating and financial restrictions on the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, including the ability to incur additional debt; incur liens and encumbrances; make certain restricted payments, including paying dividends on the Company's equity securities or payments to redeem, repurchase, or retire the Company's equity securities (which are subject to our compliance, on a pro forma basis to give effect to the restricted payment, with the fixed charge coverage ratio and consolidated net leverage ratio described below); enter into certain restrictive agreements; make investments, loans and acquisitions; merge or consolidate with any other person; dispose of assets; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; engage in transactions with affiliates; and materially alter the business we conduct. The First Amendment requires the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25:1.00 throughout the duration of such agreement. Under the First Amendment, the Company is required to comply with a maximum consolidated net leverage ratio of 3.50:1.00. Further, under the First Amendment, in connection with any acquisition by the Company exceeding $25 million, the Company may elect to increase the maximum permitted consolidated net leverage ratio for the fiscal quarter in which the acquisition occurs and each of the following three fiscal quarters by 0.50:1.00 above the otherwise permitted maximum. If the consolidated net leverage ratio is less than 2.50:1.00, there is no limit on the amount of incremental facilities. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default. On March 10, 2023, the calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio was amended to specifically exclude from the definition of fixed charges the Company's share repurchases conducted during the third and fourth quarters of 2022. As of September 30, 2023, we were not in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio required by the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. On November 8, 2023, the Company and the subsidiary guarantors entered into a Waiver with Regions Bank, as administrative agent, and various other lenders, which provided for a one-time waiver of this failure as an event of default. As of December 31, 2023, the Company was similarly not in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio required by the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and a one-time waiver was provided in conjunction with the Fourth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (described below). Any failure by us to comply with this or another covenant in the future may result in an event of default. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to comply with this covenant or obtain amendments to avoid future covenant violations, or that such amendments will be available on commercially acceptable terms. The First Amendment removed the requirement of mandatory prepayment of the credit facilities with excess cash flow generated during the prior fiscal year. The Company is permitted to voluntarily prepay the credit facilities at any time without penalty, subject to customary “breakage” costs with respect to prepayments of SOFR rate loans made on a day other than the last day of any applicable interest period. Credit Facility Third Amendment On January 16, 2024, the Company entered into a Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2020, by and among the Company; the Subsidiary Guarantors; Regions Bank, as administrative agent and collateral agent; and various other lenders from time to time. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement. The Third Amendment modified the term “Consolidated EBITDA” to provide that the following amounts will be added back to Consolidated Net Income: (i) the reasonably expected value of all earn-out consideration in connection with any Permitted Acquisition, provided that the aggregate amount of fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with anticipated Permitted Acquisitions which are not consummated during any period of four fiscal quarters ending on or after the Closing Date will not exceed the greater of $7 million and 10% of Consolidated EBITDA; (ii) any fees, costs or expenses related to the implementation of cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies related to Permitted Acquisitions, restructurings and other initiatives; and (iii) costs and expenses related to the previously disclosed U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission investigation that occurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1.25 million. Additionally, the Third Amendment (y) removed from the maximum aggregate amount of fees and expenses that can be added back to Consolidated Net Income any losses resulting from any Asset Sales or Involuntary Disposition and (z) increased the maximum amount of fees and expenses that can be added back to Consolidated Net Income related to savings initiatives, Equity Transactions, the incurrence of Indebtedness and amendments to the Credit Documents from 10% to 15% of Consolidated EBITDA (determined prior to giving effect to such adjustments). Credit Facility Fourth Amendment On February 29, 2024, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, by and among the Company; the Subsidiary Guarantors; the Administrative Agent; and various other lenders. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement. The Fourth Amendment modified the term “Consolidated EBITDA” to provide that the additional following amounts will be added back to Consolidated Net Income: (i) costs and expenses related to the voluntary early retirement program during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023; and (ii) fees, costs and expenses in categories identified to the Administrative Agent to the extent incurred during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $7.25 million. Additionally, the modified definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” limits the amount of pro forma “run rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies (collectively, “Savings”) related to the Viewgol acquisition that can be added back to Consolidated Net Income to an aggregate amount not to exceed $6.6 million; however, Savings related to the Viewgol acquisition are not subject to the cap of 15% of Consolidated EBITDA that otherwise applies to Savings related to Permitted Acquisitions, restructurings or cost savings initiatives. |
