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 including the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, tested quarterly. In addition, we are also required to make representations and warranties and comply with certain
non-financial
covenants that are customary in loan agreements of this type, including restrictions on the payment of dividends, repurchase of stock, incurrence of indebtedness, dispositions and acquisitions.
As of March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with the covenants under the 2021 Credit Agreement. We had outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility and Term Loan Facility of the 2021 Credit Agreement of $0.0 million and $73.6 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.
In August 2021, upon entering into the 2021 Credit Agreement, we paid an aggregate amount of $70.6 million due under the 2019 Credit Agreement, including unpaid principal, accrued interest, the Final Payment and a prepayment fee, with proceeds from the 2021 Credit Agreement, and the 2019 Credit Agreement was terminated. Upon termination of the 2019 Credit Agreement, the Company recognized $1.9 million as loss on the extinguishment of the loan for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our unaudited consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and the disclosure at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements, as well as revenue and expenses recorded during the reporting periods. Management bases its estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Different assumptions and judgments would change the estimates used in the preparation of our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which, in turn, could materially change our results from those reported. Management evaluates its estimates, assumptions and judgments on an ongoing basis. Historically, our critical accounting estimates have not differed materially from actual results. However, if our assumptions change, we may need to revise our estimates or take other corrective actions, either of which may also have a material adverse effect on our consolidated statements of operations, liquidity and financial condition. See also our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 for information about these accounting policies as well as a description of our other significant accounting policies.
