2023 Term Loans

In March 2018, the Company amended and refinanced its existing term loan, referred to as Term Loan B-1 (as so amended and refinanced, the “2023 Term Loans”), in order to, among other things, extend the due date of the loan from September 25, 2021 to March 26, 2023, reduce the interest payable from LIBOR plus 2.75% with a LIBOR floor of 0.75% to LIBOR plus 2.25% with a 0% LIBOR floor and increase covenant flexibility (the “Refinancing”).

The Refinancing involved multiple lenders who were considered members of a loan syndicate. In determining whether the Refinancing was to be accounted for as a debt extinguishment or a debt modification, the Company considered whether creditors remained the same or changed and whether the changes in debt terms were substantial. A change in the debt terms was considered to be substantial if the present value of the remaining cash flows under the new terms of the 2023 Term Loans was at least 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the former Term Loan B-1 (commonly referred to as the “10% Test”). The Company performed a separate 10% Test for each individual creditor participating in the loan syndication. With the exception of one lender, who owned 1% of the total outstanding principal amount of Term Loan B-1 at the date of the Refinancing and was accounted for as a debt extinguishment, the Refinancing was accounted for as a debt modification.

The Refinancing resulted in a $2.3 million charge in the three months ended March 31, 2018, which was included in “Interest expense” in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Beginning on January 1, 2014, the Company became subject to mandatory prepayments of principal if certain excess cash flow thresholds, as defined in the 2023 Term Loans, were met. To date, the Company has not been required to make any such mandatory prepayments.

The 2023 Term Loans have an incremental facility capacity in an amount of $175.0 million, plus additional amounts as long as the Company meets certain conditions, including a specified leverage ratio. The 2023 Term Loans include a number of restrictive covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions and baskets, impose operating and financial restrictions on the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The 2023 Term Loans also contain customary affirmative covenants and events of default. The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants at December 31, 2019.

At December 31, 2019, the Company’s balance of unamortized deferred financing costs and unamortized original issue discount costs were $0.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively. These costs are being amortized to interest expense over the estimated repayment period of the 2023 Term Loans using the effective interest method. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company had amortization expense of $0.7 million, $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively, related to deferred financing costs and original issue discount.
