Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 6, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), Orthofix Medical Inc. (the “Company”), as borrower, and certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors, entered into a Financing Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with Blue Torch Finance LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Agent”), and certain lenders party thereto. The Financing Agreement provides for a $100 million senior secured term loan (the “Initial Term Loan”), a $25 million senior secured delayed draw term loan facility (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”), and a $25 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” and together with the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loan, the “Credit Facilities”), each of which mature on November 6, 2027. In connection with entering into the Financing Agreement, the Company repaid in full amounts outstanding and terminated all commitments under the Company’s prior $175 million senior secured revolving credit facility evidenced by that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 25, 2019, among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company as borrowers and guarantors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Prior Credit Agreement”). The Initial Term Loan was fully funded on the Effective Date. As of the date hereof, the Company has not made any borrowings under the Delayed Draw Term Loan or the Revolving Credit Facility.
Borrowings under the Financing Agreement were and may be used for, among other things, the repayment in full of the Prior Credit Agreement, working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Company. Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest at a floating rate, which will be, at the Borrowers’ option, either the three-month SOFR rate (subject to a floor of 3.00% and a credit spread adjustment of 0.26161%) (the “Adjusted Term SOFR Rate”) plus an applicable margin of 7.25%, or a base rate plus an applicable margin of 6.25%. A revolving unused line fee of 2.00% is payable monthly in arrears based on the average amount of the undrawn portion of each lender’s revolving credit commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility for the preceding month. A delayed draw unused fee equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus a margin of 1.00% is payable monthly in arrears based on the average amount of the undrawn portion of each lender’s delayed draw term loan commitments in respect of the Delayed Draw Term Loan for the preceding month.
Certain of the Company’s existing and future material subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) are required to guarantee the repayment of the Company’s obligations under the Financing Agreement. The obligations of the Company and each of the Guarantors with respect to the Financing Agreement are secured by a pledge of substantially all assets of the Company and each of the Guarantors, including, without limitation, accounts receivables, deposit accounts, intellectual property, investment property, inventory, equipment and equity interests in their respective subsidiaries.
The Financing Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on the Company’s and its subsidiaries ability to incur additional debt, grant or permit additional liens, make investments and acquisitions, merge or consolidate with others, dispose of assets, pay dividends and distributions, pay subordinated indebtedness and enter into affiliate transactions. In addition, the Financing Agreement contains financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain a minimum level of liquidity at all times, a maximum consolidated leverage ratio (measured on a quarterly basis), and a minimum asset coverage ratio (measured on a monthly basis). The Financing Agreement also includes events of default customary for facilities of this type and upon the occurrence of such events of default, subject to customary cure rights, all outstanding loans under the Credit Facilities may be accelerated and/or the lenders’ commitments terminated.
The Financing Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors. These representations and warranties have been made solely for the benefit of the Agent and the lenders party to the Financing Agreement and such representations and warranties should not be relied on by any other person, including investors. In addition, such representations and warranties (i) have been qualified by disclosures made to the Agent and the lenders in connection with the agreement, (ii) are subject to the materiality standards contained in the agreement which may differ from what may be viewed as material by investors and (iii) were made only as of the date of the agreement or such other date as is specified in the agreement.
The foregoing description does not constitute a complete summary of the terms of the Financing Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Financing Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference
