Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On March 26, 2025, Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) among the Company, as borrower, American AgCredit, PCA (the “Agent”), as Administrative Agent, CoBank, ACB, as letter of credit issuer (the “L/C Issuer”) and the lenders and voting participants party thereto, which amends the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of November 29, 2022, by and among the Company, the guarantors from time to time party thereto, the Agent, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and the L/C Issuer. The First Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) increase the aggregate principal amount of the senior secured revolving credit facility from $550,000,000 to $750,000,000, (ii) increase the sub-limit for letters of credit from $60,000,000 to $75,000,000, (iii) change the interest rate for revolving borrowings, as described below, (iv) change the capitalization ratio limit, as described below, (v) extend the maturity date to March 26, 2032 and (vi) provide for certain other modifications as set forth in the First Amendment.
As amended by the First Amendment, revolving borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest, at our option, at either (a) a “base rate” plus a margin of 0.6% to 1.6% or (b) Term SOFR plus a margin of 1.6% to 2.6%. The First Amendment also includes an unused commitment fee, due quarterly, ranging from 0.175% to 0.425%. The applicable margins and fees within these ranges are based on our ratio of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to cash interest charges. The “base rate” is the highest of (i) the Federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the U.S. prime rate, and (iii) one-month Term SOFR plus 1.0%.
The First Amendment also modifies the capitalization ratio covenant that was present in the Credit Agreement. The capitalization ratio is a measure of funded debt less unrestricted cash to total capitalization. Under the First Amendment, the capitalization ratio covenant requires the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries to have, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, a capitalization ratio of no more than 65%.
The foregoing description of the First Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the First Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
