In August 2021, we, and our subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement with SVB and several other lenders, which we refer to as the 2021 Credit Agreement. The 2021 Credit Agreement provides for a term loan facility not to exceed $75,000 (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a revolving credit facility not to exceed $125,000 (the “Revolving Facility”).
Advances made under the 2021 Credit Agreement may be either Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, at our option. For Eurodollar Loans, the interest rate is a per annum interest rate equal to LIBOR plus an Applicable Margin based on the Total Net Leverage Ratio. For ABR Loans, the interest rate is equal to (1) the highest of (a) the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% and (c) the LIBOR rate plus 1.0%,
(2) an Applicable Margin based on the Total Net Leverage Ratio.
The 2021 Credit Agreement requires us to make consecutive quarterly installment payments of principal in an amount equal to between 0.625% to 2.50% of the original principal amount of the Term Loans starting from September 30, 2021 through August 6, 2026 (the “Term Loan Maturity Date”). We may prepay the Term Loan Facility, provided that any Term Loans prepaid prior to August 6, 2022, must be accompanied by a prepayment premium equal to 1.00% of the aggregate amount of Term Loans prepaid. Once repaid, amounts borrowed under the Term Loan Facility may not
be re-borrowed.
We must pay a quarterly fee in arrears (the “Commitment Fee”), for the
Company’s non-use of
available funds through August 6, 2026 (the “Revolving Termination Date”). The Commitment Fee rate is based on the Total Net Leverage Ratio. We may elect to reduce or terminate the Revolving Facility in its entirety at any time by repaying all outstanding principal, unpaid accrued interest and, with respect to any such reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments made prior to August 6, 2022, 1.00% of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments so reduced or terminated.
Under the 2021 Credit Agreement, we are required to comply with certain financial covenants. We may not permit the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio at the last day of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021, to be less than 1.25:1.00. Additionally, we may not permit the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio at the last day of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021, to exceed the following ratios: (i) for the trailing four fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2021, December 31, 2021, March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022, a ratio of 3.50:1.00; (ii) for the trailing four fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2022, March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023, a ratio of 3.25:1.00; and (iii) for the trailing four fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2023 and each fiscal quarter thereafter, a ratio of 3.00:1.00.
As of September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with the financial covenants under the 2021 Credit Agreement and we had outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility and Term Loan Facility of the 2021 Credit Agreement of $0.0 million and $74.5 million, respectively.
In March 2019, we, our subsidiaries and SVB, and the several other lenders thereto entered into a credit agreement, as amended (the “2019 Credit Agreement”), providing for a term loan facility of $40,000 and a revolving credit facility of up to $60,000. Both facilities were set to mature in 2024. The interest rate for the term loan facility was a floating per annum interest rate equal to the greater of 3.75% above the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate and 9.25%. The interest rate for advances under the revolving facility was a floating per annum interest rate equal to the greater of the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate and 5.50%. If we elected to prepay the loan or terminate the facilities, we were required to pay a certain percentage of the outstanding principal as a prepayment fee. A final payment fee (the “Final Payment”) of 6.5% multiplied by the original aggregate principal amount of term loan facility was due upon the earlier to occur, the maturity date of the term loan or prepayment of all outstanding principal.
