The Credit Facility includes a $500 million revolving line of credit as well as provisions allowing for the increase of the credit facility commitment amount by an additional $250 million, if necessary, with the consent of the lenders. The bank syndication supporting the facility is comprised of a diverse group of seven banks led by JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, and Commerce Bank and TD Bank, N.A. as co-documentation agents. The Credit Facility matures August 30, 2028, with balance due by this date.

On August 5, 2024, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Facility which, among other things, (i) implements a senior incremental delayed draw term loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $375 million (the “Incremental Facility”), and (ii) permits the direct or indirect acquisition by the Registrant or certain of its subsidiaries of all the issued and outstanding shares of Ultra PMES Limited, Measurement Systems, Inc., EMS Development Corporation, and DNE Technologies, Inc. (the “SM&P Acquisition”), pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of that certain Sale and Purchase Agreement, dated July 8, 2024, among Ultra Electronics Holdings Limited, as parent seller, the Registrant, as guarantor, and certain of the Registrant’s subsidiaries as buyers. The proceeds of the loans drawn under the Incremental Facility will be applied to pay a portion of the cash consideration for the SM&P Acquisition and other customary fees, premiums, expenses and costs incurred in connection with the SM&P Acquisition.

At December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $383 million available to borrow under the Credit Facility, excluding the Incremental Facility, plus the $250 million increase option subject to the lenders’ consent, in addition to $71.3 million cash on hand. The Company classified $20 million as the current portion of long-term debt as of December 31, 2024, as the Company intends to repay this amount within the next twelve months; however, the Company has no contractual obligation to repay such amount during the next twelve months. The letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Credit Facility totaled $4.8 million at December 31, 2024.

Interest on borrowings under the Credit Facility is calculated at a spread over either an Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, Adjusted CDOR Rate, Alternate Base Rate or Daily Simple RFR, at the Company’s election. The Credit Facility also requires a facility fee ranging from 12.5 to 25 basis points per annum on the unused portion. The interest rate spreads and the facility fee are subject to increase or decrease depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. The weighted average interest rates were 6.1% and 6.8% for the three-month periods ending December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
