2021 Term Loan

In March 2021, VM Consolidated, Inc. (“VM Consolidated”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement No.1 to the First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “2021 Term Loan”) with a syndicate of lenders. The 2021 Term Loan has an aggregate borrowing of $900.0 million, maturing on March 24, 2028. In connection with the 2021 Term Loan borrowings, the Company had $4.6 million of offering discount costs and $4.5 million in deferred financing costs, both of which were capitalized and are being amortized over the remaining life of the 2021 Term Loan.

In February 2024, VM Consolidated entered into a third amendment to the 2021 Term Loan (the “Third Amendment”) and in October 2024, a fourth amendment to the 2021 Term Loan (the “Fourth Amendment”) to refinance the 2021 Term Loan (the “Refinancing Transactions”). Pursuant to the Third and Fourth Amendments, the interest rate was reduced by an aggregate 1.00% to SOFR plus 2.25% from SOFR plus 3.25%, with the SOFR floor unchanged at 0.00%. The credit spread adjustment, ranging from 0.11448% to 0.71513%, was eliminated. In addition, the 2021 Term Loan was amended to remove a provision for principal repayments which were previously required to be paid in quarterly installments. The Company evaluated the Refinancing Transactions on a lender-by-lender basis and accounted accordingly for debt extinguishment and debt modification costs (for the portion of the transactions that did not meet the accounting criteria for debt extinguishment).

During each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company made early repayments of $2.3 million on the 2021 Term Loan, and as a result the total principal outstanding was $693.3 million as of March 31, 2025.

The Company recorded less than $0.1 million of loss on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2025 related to the write-off of pre-existing deferred financing costs and discounts in connection with the early repayment. It recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, related to the write-off of pre-existing deferred financing costs and discounts in connection with the refinancing of the 2021 Term Loan in February 2024.

The 2021 Term Loan bears interest based at the Company’s option, on either (i) SOFR plus an applicable margin of 2.25% per annum, or (ii) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 1.25% per annum. As of March 31, 2025, the interest rate on the 2021 Term Loan was 6.6%.

In addition, the 2021 Term Loan requires mandatory prepayments equal to the product of the excess cash flows of the Company (as defined in the 2021 Term Loan agreement) and the applicable prepayment percentages (calculated as of the last day of the fiscal year), as set forth in the following table:

Senior Notes

In March 2021, VM Consolidated issued an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million in Senior Unsecured Notes (the “Senior Notes”), due on April 15, 2029. In connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes, the Company incurred $5.7 million in lender and third-party costs, which were capitalized as deferred financing costs and are being amortized over the remaining life of the Senior Notes.

Interest on the Senior Notes is fixed at 5.50% per annum and is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The Company may redeem all or a portion of the Senior Notes at the redemption prices set forth below in percentages by year, plus accrued and unpaid interest:

The Revolver

The Company has a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolver”) with a commitment of up to $75.0 million available for loans and letters of credit. The Revolver matures on December 18, 2026. Borrowing eligibility under the Revolver is subject to a monthly borrowing base calculation based on (i) certain percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, less (ii) certain reserve items, including outstanding letters of credit and other reserves. The Revolver bears interest on either (1) SOFR plus an applicable margin, or (2) an alternate base rate, plus an applicable margin. The margin percentage applied to (1) SOFR is either 1.25%, 1.50%, or 1.75%, or (2) the base rate is either 0.25%, 0.50%, or 0.75%, depending on the Company’s average availability to borrow under the commitment. There is a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% for a one-month duration, 0.15% for a three-month duration, and 0.25% for a six-month duration, in addition to SOFR and the applicable margin percentages. There were no outstanding borrowings on the Revolver as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024. The availability to borrow was $74.4 million, net of $0.6 million of outstanding letters of credit at March 31, 2025.

Interest on the unused portion of the Revolver is payable quarterly at 0.375% and the Company is also required to pay participation and fronting fees at 1.38% on $0.6 million of outstanding letters of credit as of March 31, 2025.

All borrowings and other extensions of credits under the 2021 Term Loan, Senior Notes and the Revolver are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and restrictive covenants including absence of defaults and accuracy in material respects of representations and warranties. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as collateral to secure the Company’s indebtedness under the 2021 Term Loan. At March 31, 2025, the Company was compliant with all debt covenants in its debt agreements.

The Company recorded interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs and discounts, of $16.6 million and $19.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The weighted average effective interest rate on the Company’s outstanding borrowings was 6.2% as of March 31, 2025 and as of December 31, 2024.
