Item 5. Other Information
We are providing the following disclosure in this Form 10-Q in lieu of filing such information on a Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On May 4, 2022, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the lenders party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Bank of America, N.A., as Documentation Agent. The Credit Agreement amends and restates the Company’s primary credit facility, which was scheduled to mature on July 27, 2023. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of May 4, 2027 and allows for $300 million in borrowings, with an option to increase the amount available for borrowing to $450 million at the Company’s request, subject to the consent of each lender participating in such increase. The proceeds of the loans are to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company.
A commitment fee of the unused portion of principal amount of the credit facility is payable at a rate that now ranges from 10.0 to 25.0 basis points per annum as determined by the Company’s ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement.
The interest rate on borrowings is dependent on the type and currencies of borrowings and will be one of the following options:
• any Term Benchmark borrowing denominated in U.S. Dollars will utilize the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), which is a rate per annum equal to the secured overnight financing rate for such business day published by the SOFR Administrator, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, on the immediately succeeding business day, plus the Revolving Commitment Term Benchmark spread which can range from 100.0 to 175.0 basis points based on the Company’s ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted consolidated EBITDA;
• any Term Benchmark borrowing denominated in Euros will utilize the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) in effect two target days prior to the advance (adjusted upwards to reflect bank reserve costs) for such interest period as defined in the agreement, plus the Revolving Commitment Term Benchmark spread which can range from 100.0 to 175.0 basis points based on the Company’s ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted consolidated EBITDA; or
• the Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”), which is defined as the highest of the fluctuation rate per annum equal to the higher of:
a. Prime Rate in the U.S. last quoted by the Wall Street Journal, and if this is ceased to be quoted, the highest bank prime loan rate or similar loan rate quoted by the Federal Reserve Board;
b. 1/2 of 1% per annum above the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined under the Credit Agreement); or
c. 1% per annum above the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined under the Credit Agreement);
plus the Revolving Commitment ABR spread which has been can range from 0.0 to 75.0 basis points based on the Company’s ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to adjusted consolidated EBITDA.
35
The Company’s financial covenants under the Credit Agreement require:
• a ratio of consolidated total indebtedness minus unencumbered U.S. cash on hand in the United States in excess of $15 million to adjusted consolidated EBITDA, determined as of the end of each of its fiscal quarters for the then most recently ended four fiscal quarters, to not be greater than 3.0 to 1.0; provided, however, that for each fiscal quarter end during the four quarter period following a material permitted acquisition, as defined in the Credit Agreement, the Company will not permit this financial covenant to be greater than 3.5 to 1.0 for each such fiscal quarter end, and
• an interest coverage ratio, defined as that ratio of consolidated EBITDA for such period to cash interest expense for such period, for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending during any period set forth below, to be less than 3.5 to 1.0.
The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified by its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
