ABL Facility Amendment
On June 29, 2016, Nuverra Environmental Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Eighth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “ABL Facility Amendment”) by and among Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as agent (the “Agent”), the lenders named therein (the “Lenders”), and the Company, which further amends the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 3, 2014, by and among the Agent, the Lenders, and the Company (as amended, the “ABL Facility”). Among other terms and conditions, the ABL Facility Amendment amends the ABL Facility as follows:
• | Reduces the maximum revolver commitments from $100.0 million to $85.0 million; |
• | Amends the minimum EBITDA financial maintenance covenant, modifying the applicable periods for measurement and reducing the applicable amounts required to be achieved for each period; |
• | Changes the maturity date of the ABL Facility from January 15, 2018 to December 31, 2016; |
• | Adds a covenant requiring the Company to refinance the ABL Facility in full on or before September 30, 2016; |
• | Requires the Company to consummate an equity rights offering on or before July 29, 2016 and to apply the proceeds from the offering to pay down the ABL Facility, which must equal $5.0 million (with any shortfall to be covered by the backstop obligation funds previously placed in escrow by Mark D. Johnsrud, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer); |
• | Replaces the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio covenant with an availability block in the amount of $15.0 million; |
• | Provides that the availability attributable to Eligible Equipment (as defined the ABL Facility) under the borrowing base formula shall not exceed 75% of the borrowing base at any time; and |
• | Increases the applicable margin on LIBOR Rate and Base Rate Loans (as defined in the ABL Facility). |
