Senior Secured Credit Facilities
The Company has a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") providing for a $1.545 billion senior secured term loan (the "Term Loan") and a $210.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolver" and together with the Term Loan, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities"). During 2021, the Company entered into amendments to the Credit Agreement, which provided for (i) a new tranche of term loans that replaced or refinanced all of the existing term loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement, (ii) provided for an extension of the Term Loan and Revolver, (iii) and increased the outstanding commitments under the Revolver (the "2021 Amendments"). As of both December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on the Revolver. As of December 31, 2021, the Company's availability on the Revolver was $203.0 million (including outstanding letters of credit of $7.0 million).
The Term Loan will mature on August 31, 2026 (or, if at least $185 million of the Borrower’s 6.750% senior unsecured notes due 2025 shall have not either been repaid, repurchased or redeemed or refinanced with indebtedness having a maturity date not earlier than 91 days after August 31, 2026 by no later than April 1, 2025, then April 1, 2025). The Revolver matures on February 1, 2026. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) LIBOR plus a margin of 3.75% per annum (LIBOR with respect to the Term Loan shall be subject to a floor of 0.75%) or (y) an alternate base rate (which will be the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) 0.5% per annum above the federal funds effective rate and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum (the alternate base rate with respect to the Term Loan shall be subject to a floor of 1.75%)) plus a margin of 2.75% per annum.
The Term Loan is subject to quarterly amortization in an aggregate original principal amount of approximately 1.00% per annum. Voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan are permitted, in whole or in part, with prior notice, without premium or penalty (except LIBOR breakage costs and a call premium in the case of certain repricing events within a specified period of time after May 3, 2021). In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum in respect of unused commitments under the Revolver.
With respect to the Revolver, the Company is required to comply with a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio of 9.50:1.00, which covenant will be tested quarterly on a trailing four quarter basis only if, as of the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter the Revolver is drawn in an aggregate amount greater than 35% of the total commitments under the Revolver. Such financial maintenance covenant is subject to an equity cure. The Credit Agreement includes customary negative covenants restricting or limiting the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries, to, among other things, sell assets, alter its business, engage in mergers, acquisitions and other business combinations, declare dividends or redeem or repurchase equity interests, incur additional indebtedness or guarantees, make loans and investments, incur liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, prepay certain junior debt, and modify or waive certain material agreements
and organizational documents, in each case, subject to customary and other agreed upon exceptions. The Credit Agreement also contains customary affirmative covenants and events of default. The Revolver may be utilized for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. Subject to certain conditions and requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Company may request one or more additional incremental term loan facilities or one or more increases in the commitments under the Revolver. As of December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.
The Senior Secured Credit Facilities are guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by SP Holdco I, Inc. and each of Surgery Center Holdings, Inc.'s current and future wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) (the "Subsidiary Guarantors") and are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of Surgery Center Holdings, Inc.'s, SP Holdco I, Inc.'s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ assets (subject to certain exceptions).
In connection with the 2021 Amendments, the Company recorded debt issuance costs and discount of $11.9 million, and a debt extinguishment loss of $9.1 million, included in loss on debt extinguishment in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. The loss includes the partial write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts related to the prior existing term loans, and a portion of debt issuance costs incurred with the Term Loan modification.
