2025 Refinancing and Repricing of Term Loan Facility

On February 6, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 (the “Third Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement dated as of June 21, 2023 (as amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, each of which are described below, and as further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, refinanced or replaced from time to time, the “2023 Revolving Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, Allegro MicroSystems, LLC (“AML”), lending institutions from time to time party thereto, and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as the administrative agent and the collateral agent.

The Third Amendment provided for a new $375,000 tranche of term loans maturing in 2030 (the “2025 Refinanced Loans”), the proceeds of which were used, in relevant part, to (i) refinance all outstanding borrowing under the Refinanced 2023 Term Loan Facility described below, (ii) pay fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing and (iii) for general corporate purposes. The 2025 Refinanced Loans amortize at a rate of 0.00% per annum. The 2025 Refinanced Loans bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to (i) Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in effect from time to time plus 2.00% or (ii) the highest of (x) the Federal funds rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 0.50%, (y) the prime lending rate or (z) the one-month Term SOFR plus 1.00% in effect from time to time plus 1.00%. The 2025 Refinanced Loans will mature on October 31, 2030. The Company incurred costs of $1,090 in connection with the Third Amendment.

Payments of $30,000 and $25,000 were applied to the outstanding balance of the 2025 Refinanced Loans on February 28, 2025 and April 30, 2025, respectively.

The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants as of March 28, 2025.

2024 Refinancing of Term Loan Facility

On August 6, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Second Amendment”), to the 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement. The Second Amendment increased the total capacity of the revolving credit facility to $256,000.

The Second Amendment also provided for a new $400,000 tranche of term loans maturing in 2030 (the “Refinanced 2023 Term Loan Facility”), the proceeds of which were primarily used, to repurchase a portion of the Company’s common stock, pursuant to the Share Repurchase Agreement discussed in Note 21, “Related Party Transactions,” repay the 2023 Term Loan Facility (as defined below), pay fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing and for general corporate purposes. The Refinanced 2023 Term Loan Facility amortized at a rate of 1.00% per annum. The Refinanced 2023 Term Loan Facility bore interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to (i) Term SOFR (as defined in the 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement) in effect from time to time plus 2.25% or (ii) the highest of (x) the Federal funds rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 0.50%, (y) the prime lending rate or (z) the one-month Term SOFR plus 1.00% in effect from time to time plus 1.25%. The Refinanced 2023 Term Loan Facility was scheduled to mature on October 31, 2030. The Refinanced 2023 Term Loan Facility was subject to covenants consistent with the 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement covenants. As the terms of the refinancing were not substantially different from the terms of the Second Amendment, the refinancing was accounted for as a debt modification. In conjunction with the refinancing, the Company recognized $3,619 as a debt discount which will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term using the effective interest method. Borrowings under the Second Amendment were collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets.

A payment of $25,000 was applied to the term loan balance on October 31, 2024, which has eliminated future required minimum quarterly payments. On February 6, 2025, the Second Amendment was paid in full in connection with entry into the Third Amendment.

2023 Term Loan Facility

On October 31, 2023, the Company entered into a $250,000 term loan maturing in 2030 (the “2023 Term Loan Facility”), the proceeds of which were used to refinance the $25,000 outstanding balance under the term loan credit agreement that the Company entered into on September 30, 2020 with Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other agents, arrangers and lenders party thereto, and to finance, in part, the acquisition of Crocus. The 2023 Term Loan Facility was executed as an incremental amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement. The 2023 Term Loan Facility amortized at a rate of 0.25% per quarter, and the initial margin applicable to the 2023 Term Loan Facility was 2.75% for term SOFR-based loans and 1.75% for base rate loans.

A payment of $50,000 was applied to the term loan balance on April 30, 2024. On August 6, 2024, borrowings under the 2023 Term Loan Facility were repaid in full in connection with the entry into the Second Amendment.

2023 Revolving Credit Facility

On June 21, 2023, the Company entered into the 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement that provided for a $224,000 revolving credit facility, which included a $20,000 letter of credit sub-facility. On August 6, 2024, upon entry into the Second Amendment, the total capacity of the revolving credit facility was increased to $256,000. The revolving credit facility is available until, and loans made thereunder will mature on, June 21, 2028. Under the terms of the 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement, interest is calculated at a rate equal to (i) Term SOFR (as defined in the 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement) in effect, plus the applicable spread (ranging from 1.50% to 1.75%) or (ii) the highest of (x) the Federal funds rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 0.50%, (y) the prime lending rate or (z) the one-month term SOFR plus 1.00% in effect, plus the applicable spread (ranging from 0.50% to 0.75%). The applicable spreads are based on the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement) at the time of the applicable borrowing. Issuance costs related to the revolving credit facility were not significant. As of March 28, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

The Company will also pay a quarterly commitment fee of 0.20% to 0.25% on the daily amount by which the commitments under the revolving credit facility exceed the outstanding loans and letters of credit under the revolving credit facility. The 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement contains certain covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, including limitations on additional indebtedness, liens, various fundamental changes, dividends and distributions, investments (including acquisitions), transactions with affiliates, asset sales, prepayment of junior financing, changes in business and other limitations customary in senior secured credit facilities. In addition, the Company is required to maintain a Total Net Leverage Ratio of no more than 4.00 to 1.00 at the end of each fiscal quarter, which may, subject to certain limitations, be increased to 4.50 to 1.00 for four fiscal quarters subsequent to the Company completing an acquisition for consideration in excess of $500,000.

The 2023 Revolving Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default. Upon an event of default, the administrative agent with the consent of, or at the request of, the holders of more than 50% in principal amount of the loans and commitments, may terminate the commitments and accelerate the maturity of the loans and enforce certain other remedies.

The Company was in compliance with its Revolving Credit Facility covenants as of March 28, 2025.
