Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 1, 2023, Bandwidth Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swingline lender and letters of credit issuer. The Credit Agreement provides for a $50.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), including a $15.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a swingline subfacility of up to $5.0 million. The Credit Facility has an accordion feature that allows for an increase in the total borrowing size up to $25.0 million, subject to certain conditions. The Credit Facility matures on the earlier of (a) August 1, 2028 or (b) the date that is 91 days prior to the scheduled maturity date or mandatory conversion date of any of the Company’s outstanding convertible notes.
Interest on borrowings under the Credit Facility accrues at an annual rate tied to a base rate or the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), at the Company’s election. Loans based on SOFR bear interest at a rate equal to term SOFR for the applicable interest period plus 10 basis points plus an applicable margin between 2.25% and 2.75% , and loans based on the base rate bear interest at a rate equal to the base rate plus an applicable margin between 1.25% and 1.75%, in each case of the foregoing, depending upon the Company’s consolidated EBITDA for the most recent period of four consecutive fiscal quarters for which financial statements have been delivered under the Credit Agreement. The Company is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee equal to between 0.05% and 0.0625% on the unused portion of the borrowing commitment, depending upon the Company’s consolidated EBITDA for the most recent period of four consecutive fiscal quarters for which financial statements have been delivered under the Credit Agreement.
The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s tangible and intangible property and by a pledge of all of the equity interests of the Company’s direct domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the voting capital stock and 100% of the non-voting capital stock of any first-tier foreign subsidiaries, subject to limited exceptions. In addition, the Company’s direct domestic subsidiaries guarantee the obligations under the Credit Agreement and grant a lien and pledge, as applicable, on substantially all of their tangible and intangible property to secure the obligations under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants (subject, in each case, to certain exceptions), including restrictions on indebtedness, liens, acquisitions and investments, restricted payments, and dispositions, although certain material acquisitions are permitted without consent of the lenders provided the Company demonstrates pro forma covenant compliance following the closing of any such acquisition, among other requirements. The Credit Agreement contains two financial covenants. The first covenant requires the Company to maintain consolidated EBITDA, tested on a quarterly basis and determined with respect to the four consecutive fiscal quarters ending with the quarter of determination, of (i) for the fiscal quarter through and including September 30, 2023, at least $25,000,000, (ii) for each fiscal quarter ending during the period from October 1, 2023 through and including September 30, 2024, at least $35,000,000 and (iii) for each fiscal quarter ending thereafter, at least $60,000,000. The calculation of consolidated EBITDA incorporates certain adjustments to EBITDA as more specifically set forth in the Credit Agreement. The second covenant requires the Company to maintain minimum liquidity (which includes the amount of undrawn borrowing commitments available under the Credit Agreement) of $75,000,000, tested as of the end of any fiscal quarter. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breach of covenants, cross acceleration to material indebtedness, bankruptcy-related defaults, judgment defaults, and the occurrence of certain change of control events. Non-compliance with one or more of the covenants and restrictions or the occurrence of an event of default could result in the full or partial principal balance of the Credit Agreement becoming immediately due and payable and termination of the commitments.
This summary of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2023.
