The total facility size was increased from $2.1 billion to $2.2 billion to increase available liquidity under the facility. New lender fees and costs totaling $31.8 million were incurred and will be amortized over the life of the loan to interest expense. An additional $4.2 million in accrued interest related to exiting lenders was expensed and paid in the period. The remaining unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.2 million associated with the exiting lenders was written off in interest expense, net in the period. On May 31, 2023, the ABL Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, permit distributions of overallotment proceeds from the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) and revise the terms related to the payment and prepayment of the Term Loan (as defined below). On June 27, 2023, the ABL Credit Agreement was further amended to remove the ability to make distributions related to overallotment proceeds from the IPO and to instead require prepayment of the obligations upon the issuance of any equity interests by Kodiak pursuant to the overallotment in the IPO. In connection with the IPO, the Company became a borrower under the ABL Facility. As of March 31, 2024, there were $1.0 million in letters of credit outstanding under the ABL Facility. Pursuant to the ABL Credit Agreement, the Company must comply with certain restrictive covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.5x and a maximum Leverage Ratio (calculated based on the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA, each as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement). The maximum Leverage Ratio is (i) 5.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2023, (ii) 5.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2024, (iii) 4.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2024, and (iv) 4.50 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter ending on or after September 30, 2024. All loan amounts are collateralized by essentially all the assets of the Company. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023. The ABL Credit Agreement also restricts the Company’s ability to: incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness; pay certain dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem equity interests; prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt; issue certain preferred units or similar equity securities; make loans and investments; sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets; incur liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; enter into agreements restricting the Company’s restricted subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; enter into certain swap agreements; amend certain organizational documents; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. The weighted average interest rate as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, was 7.68% and 8.08%, respectively, excluding the effect of interest rate swaps. The Company pays an annualized commitment fee of 0.25% on the unused portion of its ABL Facility if borrowings are greater than 50% of total commitments and 0.50% on the unused portion of the ABL Facility if borrowings are less than 50% of total commitments . The ABL Facility is a “revolving credit facility” that includes a lock box arrangement whereby, under certain events, remittances from customers are forwarded to a bank account controlled by the administrative agent and are applied to reduce borrowings under the facility. One such event occurs if availability under the ABL Credit Agreement falls below a specified threshold (i.e., the greater of $200 million or 10% of the aggregate commitments at the time of measurement). As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, availability under the ABL Facility was in excess of the specified threshold, and, as such, the entire balance was classified as long term in accordance with its maturity. Third Amendment to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement On January 22, 2024, Kodiak entered into the Third Amendment to the ABL Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment, among other things, amended certain provisions of the ABL Facility (i) to accommodate the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (ii) to account for the Company’s organizational structure after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Fees and costs totaling $2.9 million were incurred related to the Third Amendment and will be amortized over the life of the loan to interest expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, $2.0 million of the total amount was paid, with the remaining amount included in the accrued liabilities in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the Third Amendment amended the ABL Facility to (i) include a maximum secured leverage ratio, which will begin to be tested after the Company issues any unsecured indebtedness, to (x) 3.75 to 1.00 for the first four fiscal quarters after the Company issues any unsecured indebtedness and (y) 3.25 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter thereafter, (ii) modify the triggers for commencing a “cash dominion” period (i.e., a period when the Administrative Agent applies proceeds in the deposit accounts to reduce borrowings under the ABL Credit Agreement), such that a “cash dominion” period will commence if availability under the ABL Credit Agreement is less than $125 million for five Term Loan A wholly owned subsidiary of Kodiak had a term loan (the “Term Loan”), pursuant to a credit agreement with unaffiliated unsecured lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. In May 2022, the Company completed a recapitalization and distribution of $838 million to the parent of Kodiak, primarily by increasing the borrowings from the ABL Facility by $225.0 million and the Term Loan by $600 million, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement entered into by the Company on May 19, 2022 (as amended from time to time, the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) and utilizing $13 million of cash on hand. New lender fees and costs totaling $14.6 million were incurred for this amendment and were amortized over the life of the loan to interest expense. On March 31, 2023, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement pursuant to which the maturity date was extended to September 22, 2028. Lender fees and costs totaling $0.8 million were incurred for this amendment and were amortized over the life of the loan to interest expense. On June 29, 2023, the Company terminated all interest rate swaps and collars attributable to the Term Loan, recognized a gain on derivatives and received cash of $25.8 million during the period ended June 30, 2023 (the “Term Loan Derivative Settlement”). On July 3, 2023, in connection with the IPO, the Company used the net proceeds from the IPO, together with the proceeds resulting from the Term Loan Derivative Settlement and borrowings under the ABL Facility, to repay $300 million of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan. Additionally, a subsidiary of Kodiak entered into a Novation, Assignment and Assumption Agreement (“Novation Agreement”) with Frontier TopCo Partnership, L.P., an affiliate of EQT AB and holder of record of Kodiak Gas Services, Inc. common stock (“Kodiak Holdings”), pursuant to which all of the Company’s remaining obligations under the Term Loan were assumed by Kodiak Holdings, and the Company’s obligations thereunder were terminated. The Company is no longer a borrower or guarantor under and is not otherwise obligated with respect to the debt outstanding under the Term Loan. As part of the $300 million repayment of the Term Loan, unamortized debt issuance costs of $4.4 million and fees of $2.4 million were recorded to loss on extinguishment for the year ended December 31, 2023. The carrying value of the Term Loan novated under the Novation Agreement of $689.8 million (comprised of $700.0 million of principal balance less $10.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs) was considered an equity transaction with the parent and recorded to additional paid-in capital in the statement of stockholder's equity for the year ended December 31, 2023. 2029 Senior Notes On February 2, 2024, Kodiak Services issued $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.25% senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 Senior Notes”), pursuant to an indenture, dated February 2, 2024, by and among the Company, and certain other subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The Company’s 2029 Senior Notes are not subject to any mandatory redemption or sinking fund requirements. The 2029 Senior Notes are subject to redemption at a make-whole redemption price, inclusive of accrued and unpaid interest. This make-whole redemption price is determined as the higher of 100% of the principal amount of the notes or the present value of remaining principal and interest payments discounted semi-annually to the redemption date using the applicable treasury rate plus 0.50%. Before February 15, 2026, the Company has the option to redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under this Indenture, limited to the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings. Following February 15, 2026, the Company retains the right to redeem all or a portion of the 2029 Senior Notes, with redemption prices expressed as percentages of the principal amount, along with accrued and unpaid interest. The optional redemption percentages for the 2029 Senior Notes are as follows: Percentage 2026 103.625% 2027 101.813% 2028 and thereafter 100.000% The indenture governing the Company’s 2029 Senior Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to create liens securing certain indebtedness, enter into certain sale-leaseback transactions, or consolidate, merge or transfer certain assets.
