Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On November 3, 2022, Lyft, Inc. (the “Company” or "Lyft") entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, as the borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain lenders party thereto from time to time.
The Credit Agreement provides the Company with a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $420.0 million that matures on the earlier of (i) November 3, 2027 and (ii) February 13, 2025, if, as of such date, the Company’s Liquidity (as defined in the Credit Agreement) minus the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2025 Convertible Notes (as defined in the Credit Agreement) outstanding on such date is less than $1.25 billion. Subject to certain conditions precedent, the Credit Agreement also grants the Company the option to increase the commitment under the Revolving Credit Facility by or obtain incremental term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300.0 million, plus, after September 30, 2023, an unlimited amount so long as the senior secured leverage ratio does not exceed 2.50:1.00. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for borrowings up to the amount of the facility, with a sublimit of $168 million for the issuance of letters of credit. At closing, $53.5 million in letters of credit were issued under the Revolving Credit Facility and no amount had been drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Under the Credit Agreement, loans bear interest, at the Company’s option, at an annual rate equal to either (i) the sum of (x) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus (y) a variable rate based on the Company’s total leverage ratio, ranging from 1.50% to 2.25% or (ii) the sum of (x) the highest of (A) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the prime rate in effect in the United States, (B) the greater of the rate calculated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as the federal funds effective rate or the rate that is published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as the overnight bank funding rate, in either case, plus 0.50%, and (C) the one-month Adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus 1.00% and (y) a variable rate based on the Company’s total leverage ratio, ranging from 0.05% to 1.25%. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee between 0.225% and 0.375%, depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio, per annum on the undrawn portion available under the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions typical for a financing of this type that, among other things, restrict the Company and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, merge or consolidate or make certain dispositions, pay dividends and make distributions or other restricted payments, engage in transactions with affiliates, and make certain investments and acquisitions. The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain (a) a minimum liquidity amount of at least $1.5 billion, tested on a quarterly basis, commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2022 through the quarter ending September 30, 2023, (b) a total leverage ratio not to exceed 3.50:1:00 commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2023 through the quarter ending September 30, 2024 and thereafter a ratio not to exceed 3:00:1:00 (with an increase to 3.50:1:00 if the Company has an acquisition for cash consideration greater than $75 million for the fiscal quarter during which such acquisition takes place and the three fiscal quarters immediately following such acquisition), and (c) a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25:1.00, commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2023. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breach of representation or warranty or covenants, cross default 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.
The Company’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s present and future material domestic subsidiaries. The Company’s obligations under, and each guarantor’s obligations under its guaranty of, the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a first priority interest on substantially all of the Company’s or such guarantor’s respective assets.
The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
