Debt and Related Party Debt | NOTE 7. DEBT AND RELATED PARTY DEBT Credit Agreement In May 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provided for an aggregate of up to $ 300.0 million in term loans, comprised of (i) initial term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $ 190.0 million (the “Initial Term Loans”) and (ii) a delayed term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $ 110.0 million (the “Delayed Draw Term Loans”). The Credit Agreement permits the Company to enter into certain incremental facilities subject to compliance with the terms, conditions and covenants set forth therein. In May 2022, the Company drew $ 190.0 million of the Initial Term Loans and used approximately $ 121 million of the net proceeds from this borrowing to repay its outstanding obligations under the credit agreement dated June 8, 2021, as amended and recognized related debt extinguishment losses of $ 6.2 million. The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, liens or encumbrances, to make certain investments, to enter into sale-leaseback transactions or sell certain assets, to make certain restricted payments or pay dividends, to enter into consolidations, to transact with affiliates and to amend certain agreements, subject in each case to the exceptions and other qualifications as provided in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains covenants that require the Company to satisfy a minimum liquidity requirement of $ 50.0 million, which may be decreased to $ 25.0 million if the Company achieves a certain adjusted EBITDA, and maintain a maximum total leverage ratio based on the Company’s consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, with de novo losses excluded from the calculation of such ratio for up to 36 months after the opening of a de novo center, which maximum total leverage ratio was initially 8.50 to 1.00, commencing with the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022 and is subject to a series of step-downs. For the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2026 and thereafter the Company must maintain a maximum total leverage ratio no greater than 5.50 to 1.00. The Credit Agreement contains embedded derivatives related to optional and mandatory prepayments, default interest and the impact of potential legislative changes. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract, and are carried at fair value when: (a) the embedded derivative possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract; and (b) a separate, stand-alone instrument with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument. The Company has concluded that mandatory prepayment and default interest features within the Credit Agreement meet these criteria and, as such, are valued separately and apart from the Credit Agreement and are recorded at fair value each reporting period. While such embedded features did not have material value prior to this period, the value of these bifurcated derivatives as of March 31, 2024 is approximately $ 2.4 million. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are reflected in the Change in fair value of derivative liabilities within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and the fair value of the derivatives as of March 31, 2024 is reflected in other current liabilities within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 10, Fair Value Measurements , for information about the valuation of the embedded derivatives. On March 8, 2023 (the “Amendment Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Second Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) provide for a new incremental delayed draw term loan B facility in an aggregate principal amount of $ 60.0 million (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan B Facility”); (ii) revise the commitment expiration date for the Company’s existing $ 110.0 million Delayed Draw Term Loan to forty-five days following the Amendment Closing Date; (iii) extend the commencement of amortization payments on loans under the Credit Agreement from March 31, 2024 to May 31, 2025; (iv) reduce the amount of interest that the Company may elect to capitalize from 4.00 % to 3.50 % beginning on the second anniversary of the execution date of the Credit Agreement, 3.00 % beginning on the third anniversary of the execution date of the Credit Agreement, and 1.50 % beginning on December 10, 2025; (v) increase the amount of the super-priority revolving credit facility that is permitted to be added to the Credit Agreement to $ 45.0 million and provide that the entirety of such facility may be used for general corporate purposes; and (vi) amend the prepayment provisions of the Credit Agreement, including to have such provisions run as of the Amendment Closing Date. On March 15, 2024 (the “Third Amendment Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Waiver and Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) waive certain events of default under the Credit Agreement in the limited manner set forth therein through May 15, 2024 (the “Third Amendment Specified Period”), subject to an earlier termination of the waiver upon the occurrence of certain specified events, (ii) increase the applicable margin rate by 2.00 % during the Third Amendment Specified Period, which additional interest the Company may elect to capitalize as principal amount on the outstanding loans and (iii) modify certain covenants contained in the Credit Agreement, including, but not limited to, reducing the minimum liquidity requirement to $ 10 million during the Third Amendment Specified Period and providing for additional reporting to the lenders. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 , the Company drew $ 0 and $ 30.0 million of the Delayed Draw Term Loans, respectively. Based on the elections made by the Company, as of March 31, 2024, b orrowings under the Credit Agreement bore interest of Term SOFR (calculated as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate published on the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s website, plus the applicable credit spread adjustment based on the elected interest period), plus an applicable margin rate of 11.00 %. As permitted under the Credit Agreement, the Company elected to capitalize 6.00 % of the interest as principal amount. As a result of this election, the cash interest component of the applicable margin increased by 0.50 %. Loan and Security Agreement - Related Party Debt In November 2022, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”), by and among Sparta Merger Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Sparta Merger Sub II Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Sparta Merger Sub I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger LLC I”), Sparta Merger Sub II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (together with Merger LLC I, the “Guarantors”), Steward Accountable Care Network, Inc. (n/k/a as Steward Accountable Care Network, LLC) and Steward National Care Network, Inc. (n/k/a Steward National Care Network, LLC), as borrowers (the “Borrowers”), CAJ Lending LLC (“CAJ”) and Deerfield Partners L.P., as lenders (the “Lenders”), and CAJ, as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”). Mr. Carlos A. de Solo, a director of the Company and the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Alberto de Solo, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, and Mr. Joseph N. De Vera, the Company’s Senior Vice President and Legal Counsel, have interests in CAJ. Pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, the Lenders provided the Borrowers a term loan (the “Term Loan”) in the aggregate principal amount of $ 35.5 million. The Company used the proceeds of the Term Loan to fund the payment for the estimated value of the accounts receivable attributable to Medicare value-based payments for the period between January 1, 2022 and the closing of the Steward Acquisition, minus the amount of such payments payable to the affiliate physicians of the acquired Steward entities (the “Financed Net Pre-Closing Medicare AR”). The Term Loan bore fixed interest at a rate of 12.0 % per annum. In addition, the Borrowers paid a facility fee equal to 3.0 % of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan, which was accounted for as a debt discount. Any additional interest (if applicable) accrued and owing during the term of the Loan and Security Agreement was paid-in-kind and capitalized to principal monthly in arrears. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into in connection with the Steward Acquisition (the “Merger Agreement”), Sparta Holding Co. LLC agreed to pay the costs of financing the Financed Net Pre-Closing Medicare AR and, at the closing of the Steward Acquisition, paid to the Borrowers $ 6.8 million, representing all scheduled payments of interest and fees from the Steward Acquisition closing date up to and including November 30, 2023, which amount was then paid in advance by the Borrowers to the Lenders. In October 2023, the Company paid off all outstanding indebtedness of $ 35.5 million due under the Loan and Security Agreement with the proceeds of the MSSP payment from the federal government, and the Loan and Security Agreement was terminated. Elevance Health In October 2022, in connection with the collaboration agreement with Elevance Health (formerly known as Anthem) the Company entered into a promissory note for $ 1.0 million due in October 2032 . This borrowing bears a fixed interest rate of 6.25 % per annum. Finance Leases Refer to Note 12, Leases , for information about the Company’s finance leases. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, debt consisted of the following (in thousands ): March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, weighted-average interest rate of 15.2 % during the three months ended March 31, 2024. $ 383,256 $ 377,340 Finance lease obligations, interest averaging 13.5 % and maturing at various dates through 2043 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. 19,768 19,612 Other 2,297 2,220 Less: Unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs ( 12,447 ) ( 13,349 ) 392,874 385,823 Less: Current portion ( 390,995 ) ( 364,380 ) Long-term portion $ 1,879 $ 21,443 Future maturities of the indebtedness outstanding at March 31, 2024 were as follows ( in thousands ): Year Amount Remainder of 2024 $ 322 2025 3,566 2026 4,172 2027 376,564 2028 769 Thereafter 160 Total $ 385,553 In the table above, the future maturities are presented consistent with the contractual terms. As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement, as amended through the Third Amendment; however, we do not expect to be in compliance during the subsequent quarterly testing dates. A breach of any of the covenants under the Credit Agreement or the occurrence of other events specified in the Credit Agreement could result in an event of default under the same and give rise to the lenders’ right to accelerate our debt obligations thereunder and pursue other remedial actions under such agreement and/or trigger a cross default under our long-term leases. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2024 , the full balance of the outstanding indebtedness related to the Credit Agreement was classified as a current liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
