Credit Facilities
Truist Term Loans and Revolver
In connection with the acquisition of various physician practice assets, the Company entered into Truist Term Loans, all of which have identical underlying terms and provisions. The Term Loans are seven-year loans and require interest only payments for the first two years of the term. For the remaining five years, monthly principal and interest payments are required in amounts sufficient to fully amortize the principal at maturity. The Truist Term Loans may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty.
On August 31, 2018, the Company entered into a one-year revolving line of credit agreement (“Truist Revolver”) for $10.0 million maturing on August 31, 2019. On April 22, 2019, the Company executed the first amendment to the Truist Revolver which increased the revolving credit limit to $27.0 million and extended the maturity date to April 20, 2020. The Truist Revolver requires monthly interest only payments with the outstanding principal balance due at maturity. The original base interest rate was the one-month LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 1.30%.
The Truist Term Loans and Revolver were collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company and guaranteed on a limited basis by the Class A members of the Company and shareholder of AON Partners and Partners of Maryland. In addition, the Company was required to maintain certain financial covenants under these loan agreements relating to debt service coverage and levels of tangible net worth.
On April 20, 2020, the Company modified the arrangement and received an extension of the Truist Revolver from April 20, 2020 to June 4, 2020. On June 4, 2020, the Company received an extension of the Truist Revolver from June 4, 2020 to July 4, 2020. On July 4, 2020, the Company received an extension of the Truist Revolver from July 4, 2020 to September 4, 2020.
On September 4, 2020, the Company modified the arrangement and entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (“Restated Truist Revolver”), which reduced the bank’s commitment from $27.0 million to $10.0 million, extended the maturity date to September 3, 2021 and increased the interest rate on all amounts outstanding under the Revolver to the greater of LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.60% or 4.35%. All other provisions and warranties of the credit agreement remained unchanged. There were no borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2021.
PNC Loan Facility
On April 30, 2021 the Company entered into a Loan Facility with PNC (“PNC Loan Facility”) collateralized by the Company’s assets and outstanding patient accounts receivable. The PNC Loan Facility is guaranteed on a limited basis by the Company and shareholder of AON Partners and Partners of Maryland. $34.6 million of proceeds from the PNC Loan Facility was used to pay off the Truist Term Loans and Truist Revolver. The remaining funds were made available for working capital and acquisition of additional physician practices.
The PNC Loan Facility is interest-only with total principal due at maturity on April 30, 2024. Interest accrues at one-month LIBOR or an alternate base rate plus 1.45%. The maximum balance of the PNC Loan Facility (“Borrowing Base”) is limited to the lesser of the Facility Limit ($65.0 million) or the fair value of the Company’s patient accounts receivable. The Company must maintain a balance of the lesser of the Borrowing Base or 65% of the Facility Limit in the first year and 75% of the Facility Limit in subsequent years (“minimum funding threshold”). The Company can repay the PNC Loan Facility up to the minimum funding threshold at any time without penalty. In accordance with the PNC Loan Facility, the Company pledged $10.0 million of collateral as restricted cash to be released quarterly in increments of $2.5 million. The Company had $5.0 million of restricted cash related to the Loan facility as of December 31, 2021. The restricted cash was fully released as of December 31, 2022.
On April 30, 2021, the Company entered into a $5.0 million revolving line of credit agreement (“PNC Line of Credit”). The PNC Line of Credit has an expiration date of April 30, 2024 and bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the daily LIBOR rate plus 1.65% or an alternate base rate plus .65% and is due on the first day of each month beginning June 1, 2021. Any outstanding principal and accrued interest will be due on the expiration date. Beginning July 1, 2021, quarterly bank fees equal to 1.65% per day per annum will be due in arrears and will continue on the first day of each quarter thereafter. All debt related to the PNC Line of Credit is collateralized by the Company’s assets. The Company is also subject to 0.20% unused line fee calculated per annum on the unused balance of the PNC Line of Credit.
