Senior Credit Facility
In September 2022, the Company entered into a five-year, $110,000,000 senior credit facility (“Facility”) with a group of US banks. The facility consists of a delayed draw term loan facility of $85,000,000, a term loan of $5,000,000 that was drawn at closing, and a $20,000,000 revolving credit facility. The facility amends the $20,000,000 revolving credit facility that was entered into in September 2020. The Facility is secured by substantially all assets of the Company and is subject to certain financial covenants.
The Facility bears interest at variable rates ranging in length from daily to six months and has fees for unused balances. As of September 30, 2022, the outstanding balances under the Facility totaled $12,000,000, comprised of $5,000,000 on the term loan and $7,000,000 on the revolving credit facility.
As of September 30, 2022, the term loan bears interest at an annual rate of 5.7% and is repayable in quarterly installments of $250,000, with the balance due at maturity. The revolving credit facility bears interest at an annual rate of 7.0% and is payable at maturity. It is classified as a current liability as it is expected to be repaid during the year ended September 30, 2023. Interest expense on the Facility, including the unused fee, was $11,000 for the year ended September 30, 2022. The fair value of the note approximates the carrying value as of September 30, 2022.
The Company incurred $1,779,000 in financing costs to obtain the Facility, which is reflected as a reduction of the outstanding balance and will be amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the Facility. During the year ended September 30, 2022, $15,000 of amortization of deferred financing costs was recorded.
A summary of the balances related to the Facility as of September 30, 2022 is as follows:
