Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On Monday, September 30, 2019, we executed an amendment to our credit agreement with PNC, administrative agent for our lenders. The primary purposes of the amendment are to extend the maturity by 16 months to September 2023 and to modify the pricing to reduce the interest rate by 0.50% over the remainder of the term.
The interest rate per the amendment ranges from LIBOR plus 2.25% to LIBOR plus 4.00%, depending on our leverage ratio. We expect the interest rate to be LIBOR plus 3.00% for the remainder of 2019.
The maximum leverage ratio (total funded debt / trailing 12 months adjusted EBITDA) is as follows:
Fiscal Periods Ending | Ratio |
June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019 | 3.25X |
December 31, 2019 through September 30, 2020 | 3.00X |
December 31, 2020 through September 30, 2021 | 2.75X |
December 31, 2021 and each fiscal quarter thereafter | 2.50X |
The debt service coverage ratio (trailing 12 months adjusted EBITDA / annual debt service) was not changed and requires a minimum of 1.25X through the maturity of the credit facility.
In addition, a maximum annual capex of $35 million is included.
A copy of the credit agreement will be filed as an exhibit to our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
