Senior Credit Facility

Lamar Media’s Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 15, 2017 (as amended, the “senior credit facility”) originally consisted of (i) a $450,000 senior secured revolving credit facility which will mature on May 15, 2022 (the “revolving credit facility”), (ii) a $450,000 Term A loan facility (the “Term A loans”)  which will mature on May 15, 2022, and (iii) an incremental facility pursuant to which Lamar Media may incur additional term loan tranches or increase its revolving credit facility subject to pro forma compliance with the secured debt ratio financial maintenance covenant (the “Incremental Facility”). Lamar Media borrowed all $450,000 in Term A loans on May 15, 2017. The net proceeds of the Term A loans, together with borrowing under the revolving portion of senior credit facility and cash on hand, were used to repay all outstanding amounts under the existing senior credit facility, and all revolving commitments under that facility were terminated.

On March 16, 2018, Lamar Media entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated May 15, 2017, which amended the existing senior credit facility to establish a new $600,000 Term B Loan Facility (the “Term B loan”), which will mature on March 16, 2025.  Lamar Media borrowed the full amount of the Term B loan on March 16, 2018.  The proceeds from the Term B loan, together with available cash on hand were used to redeem in full Lamar Media’s 5 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2022.

On January 17, 2019, Lamar Media entered into an incremental amendment to the senior credit facility to include $100,000 in additional revolving commitments, thereby increasing the total borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility to $550,000.

As of September 30, 2019, the senior credit facility consisted of (i) the revolving credit facility, (ii) the Term A loans, (iii) the Term B loans and (iv) the Incremental Facility.

The Term A loans mature on May 15, 2022 and the Term B loans mature on March 16, 2025.  The remaining quarterly installments are scheduled to be paid on each December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30 as follows:

The Term loans bear interest at rates based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate (“Eurodollar term loans”) or the Adjusted Base Rate (“Base Rate term loans”), at Lamar Media’s option. Eurodollar term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.75%; (or the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.50% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1 for Term A loans only). Base Rate term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.75% (or the Adjusted Base

Rate plus 0.50% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1 for Term A loans only). The revolving credit facility bears interest at rates based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate (“Eurodollar revolving loans”) or the Adjusted Base Rate (“Base Rate revolving loans”), at Lamar Media’s option. Eurodollar revolving loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 2.25% (or the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 2.00% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 4.25 to 1; or the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.75% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1). Base Rate revolving Loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus 1.25% (or the Adjusted Base Rate plus 1.0% at any time the total debt ratio is less than or equal to 4.25 to 1, or the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.75% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1). The guarantees, covenants, events of default and other terms of the senior credit facility apply to the Term A and B loans and revolving credit facility.

As of September 30, 2019, there was $215,000 outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Availability under the revolving facility is reduced by the amount of any letters of credit outstanding. Lamar Media had $12,852 in letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2019 resulting in $322,148 of availability under its revolving facility. Revolving credit loans may be requested under the revolving credit facility at any time prior to its maturity on May 15, 2022.

The terms of Lamar Media’s senior credit facility and the indentures relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes restrict, among other things, the ability of Lamar Advertising and Lamar Media to:

 

dispose of assets;

 

incur or repay debt;

 

create liens;

 

make investments; and

 

pay dividends.

The senior credit facility contains provisions that allow Lamar Media to conduct its affairs in a manner that allows Lamar Advertising to qualify and remain qualified as a REIT, including by allowing Lamar Media to make distributions to Lamar Advertising required for the Company to qualify and remain qualified for taxation as a REIT, subject to certain restrictions.

Lamar Media’s ability to make distributions to Lamar Advertising is also restricted under the terms of these agreements. Under Lamar Media’s senior credit facility the Company must maintain a specified senior debt ratio at all times and in addition, must satisfy a total debt ratio in order to incur debt, make distributions or make certain investments.

Lamar Advertising and Lamar Media were in compliance with all of the terms of their indentures and the senior credit facility provisions during the periods presented.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Program

On December 18, 2018, Lamar Media entered into a $175,000 Receivable Financing Agreement (the “AR Program”) with its wholly-owned special purpose entities, Lamar QRS Receivables, LLC and Lamar TRS Receivables, LLC (the “Special Purpose Subsidiaries”) maturing on December 17, 2021.  The AR Program is limited to the availability of eligible accounts receivable collateralizing the borrowings under the agreements governing the AR Program.

Pursuant to two separate Purchase and Sale Agreements dated December 18, 2018, each of which is among Lamar Media as initial Servicer, certain of Lamar Media’s subsidiaries and a Special Purpose Subsidiary, the subsidiaries sold substantially all of their existing and future accounts receivable balances to the Special Purpose Subsidiaries. The Special Purpose Subsidiaries use the accounts receivable balances to collateralize loans pursuant to the AR Program. Lamar Media retains the responsibility of servicing the accounts receivable balances pledged as collateral under the AR Program and provides a performance guaranty.

As of September 30, 2019 there was $175,000 outstanding on the AR Program bearing interest at approximately 3.8%. The commitment fee based on the amount of unused commitments under the AR Program was immaterial during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The AR Program is accounted for as a collateralized financing activity, rather than a sale of assets, and therefore: (i) accounts receivable balances pledged as collateral are presented as assets and the borrowings are presented as liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, (ii) our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income reflect the associated charges for bad debt expense (a component of general and administrative expenses) related to the pledged accounts receivable and interest expense associated with the collateralized borrowings and (iii) receipts from customers related to the underlying accounts receivable are reflected as operating cash flows and borrowings and repayments under the collateralized loans are reflected as financing cash flows within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

5 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes

On February 9, 2012, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of $500,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes (the “5 7/8% Notes”). The institutional private placement resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of approximately $489,000. The Company used the proceeds from the Term B loans to redeem all of the 5 7/8% Notes on March 19, 2018 at a redemption price of 101.958% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 5 7/8% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the redemption date. In conjunction with the redemption the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $15,429, of which $9,790 was cash, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

5% Senior Subordinated Notes

On October 30, 2012, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of $535,000 aggregate principal amount of 5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2023 (the “5% Notes”). The institutional private placement resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of approximately $527,100.

Lamar Media may redeem the 5% Notes, in whole or in part, in cash at redemption prices specified in the 5% Notes. In addition, if the Company or Lamar Media undergoes a change of control, Lamar Media may be required to make an offer to purchase each holder’s 5% Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 5% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, up to but not including the repurchase date.

5 3/8% Senior Notes

On January 10, 2014, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of $510,000 aggregate principal amount of 5 3/8% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “5 3/8% Notes”). The institutional private placement resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of approximately $502,300.

Lamar Media may redeem the 5 3/8% Notes, in whole or in part, in cash at redemption prices specified in the 5 3/8% Notes. In addition, if the Company or Lamar Media undergoes a change of control, Lamar Media may be required to make an offer to purchase each holder’s 5 3/8% Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 5 3/8% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, up to but not including the repurchase date.

5 3/4% Senior Notes

On January 28, 2016, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of $400,000 aggregate principal amount of 5 3/4% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “5 3/4% Notes”). The institutional private placement on January 28, 2016 resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of approximately $394,500.

On February 1, 2019, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of an additional $250,000 aggregate principal amount under its 5 3/4% Notes (the “New Notes”). Other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price and CUSIP number, the New Notes have the same terms as the 5 3/4% Notes. The net proceeds after underwriting fees and expenses, was approximately $251,500 and were used to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

At any time prior to February 1, 2021, Lamar Media may redeem some or all of the 5 3/4% Notes at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon plus a make-whole premium. On or after February 1, 2021, Lamar Media may redeem the 5 3/4% Notes, in whole or in part, in cash at redemption prices specified in the 5 3/4% Notes. In addition, if the Company or Lamar Media undergoes a change of control, Lamar Media may be required to make an offer to purchase each holder’s 5 3/4% Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 5 3/4% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, up to but not including the repurchase date.
