On December 19, 2023, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which provided for a $1.4 billion senior secured term loan (the "Term Loan") and a $703.8 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolver" and, together with the Term Loan, the "New Credit Facilities"). 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.

In connection with entering the New Credit Facilities, the Company terminated the then-existing senior secured credit facilities, originally dated as of August 31, 2017 and, as amended thereafter (the "2017 Credit Agreement"). Proceeds from the 2023 Term Loan were used to repay in full the amounts previously outstanding under the 2017 Credit Agreement and pay fees and expenses in connection with the New Credit Facilities.

The Term Loan matures on December 19, 2030. The Term Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) the forward-looking term rate based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) plus 3.50% per annum or (y) an alternate base rate (which will be the highest of (i) the prime rate plus, (ii) 0.50% per annum above the federal funds effective rate and (iii) Term SOFR plus 1.00% per annum, subject to a 1.00% floor) (the “Base Rate”) plus 2.50% per annum.

The Term Loan amortizes in equal quarterly installments of 0.25% of the aggregate original principal amount outstanding on the Term Loan, which will commence on or around the last business day of the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2024. Subject to the right of reinvestment and certain other exceptions, the Term Loan requires mandatory prepayments upon the occurrence of certain events as defined in the Credit Agreement. Commencing in the year ended December 31, 2024, the Term Loan is also subject to an annual mandatory prepayment in an amount equal to a percentage of excess cash flow as determined based on the first lien net leverage ratio as of the last day of the applicable fiscal year.

The Revolver matures on December 19, 2028. Interest on any loans drawn under the Revolver shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) Term SOFR plus 3.25% per annum or (y) the Base Rate plus 2.25% per annum. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.50% to 0.25% per annum, depending on the Company’s first lien net leverage ratio, in respect of unused commitments under the Revolver. The Revolver may be utilized for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2023, the Company's availability on the Revolver was $694.3 million (including outstanding letters of credit of $9.5 million).

With respect to the Revolver, the Company is required to comply with a maximum first lien net leverage ratio of 5.00:1.00, 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 40% of the total commitments under the Revolver. Such financial maintenance covenant is subject to an equity cure.

The New 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).

The New Credit Facilities 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 New Credit Facilities also contain customary affirmative covenants and events of default. As of December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.

In connection with the aforementioned financing transactions, the Company recorded debt issuance costs and discount of $34.5 million, and a debt extinguishment loss of $15.5 million, included in loss on debt extinguishment in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023. 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 entering the New Credit Facilities.]

Prior to the New Credit Facilities, the 2017 Credit Agreement provided for a $1.545 billion senior secured term loan (the "2017 Term Loan") and a $350.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. During 2022, the Company made a voluntary prepayment of $150.0 million without premium or penalty. In connection with prepayment, the Company wrote-off a portion of unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts, resulting in a debt extinguishment loss of $1.0 million, included in loss on debt extinguishment in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

During 2021, in connection with certain amendments to the 2017 Credit Agreement, the Company recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $9.1 million, included in loss on debt extinguishment in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, related to the partial write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts and a portion of debt issuance costs incurred with the amendments.

Effective June 30, 2017, the Company issued $370.0 million in gross proceeds of senior unsecured notes due July 1, 2025 (the "2025 Unsecured Notes"). The 2025 Unsecured Notes bear interest at the rate of 6.750% per year, payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year. The 2025 Unsecured Notes are a senior unsecured obligation of Surgery Center Holdings, Inc. and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of Surgery Center Holdings, Inc.'s existing and future domestic wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries that guarantees the New Credit Facilities (subject to certain exceptions).

The Company may redeem the 2025 Unsecured Notes, in whole or in part, at any time, at 100.0% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

In December 2022, the Company redeemed $185.0 million of the 2025 Unsecured Notes (the "2025 Notes Redemption"). The redemption price was equal to 100.0% of the principal amount redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest of $6.2 million.

If Surgery Center Holdings, Inc. experiences a change in control under certain circumstances, it must offer to purchase the 2025 Unsecured Notes at a purchase price equal to 101.0% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the date of repurchase.

The 2025 Unsecured Notes contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, which, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends, create or assume liens, effect transactions with its affiliates, guarantee payment of certain debt securities, sell assets, merge, consolidate, enter into acquisitions and effect sale and leaseback transactions.

Effective April 11, 2019 and July 30, 2020, the Company issued $430.0 million and $115.0 million, respectively, in an aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due April 15, 2027 (the "2027 Unsecured Notes"). The 2027 Unsecured Notes bear interest at the rate of 10.000% per annum, payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The 2027 Unsecured Notes are a senior unsecured obligation of Surgery Center Holdings, Inc. and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of Surgery Center Holdings, Inc.'s existing and future domestic wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries that guarantees the New Credit Facilities (subject to certain exceptions).

The Company may redeem the 2027 Unsecured Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices set forth below (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of notes to be redeemed), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the date of redemption:

In December 2022, the Company redeemed $225.0 million of the 2027 Unsecured Notes. The redemption price was equal to 105.0% of the principal amount redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest of $4.7 million. In connection with the redemption, the Company recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $13.9 million, included in loss on debt extinguishment in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. The loss includes the redemption premium paid and the write-off a portion of unamortized debt issuance costs.

If Surgery Center Holdings, Inc. experiences a change of control under certain circumstances, it must offer to purchase the 2027 Unsecured Notes at a purchase price equal to 101.0% of the aggregate principal amount of notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the date of repurchase.

The 2027 Unsecured Notes contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, which, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends, create or assume liens, effect transactions with its affiliates, guarantee payment of certain debt securities, sell assets, merge, consolidate, enter into acquisitions and effect sale and leaseback transactions.

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have outstanding indebtedness under notes payable and other secured loans, which is collateralized by the real estate and equipment owned by the surgical facilities to which the loans were made, and right-of-use finance lease obligations for which the Company is liable to various vendors for several property and equipment leases classified as finance leases. The various bank indebtedness agreements contain covenants to maintain certain financial ratios and also restrict encumbrance of assets, creation of indebtedness, investing activities and payment of distributions. At December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with its covenants contained in the credit agreements.

The increase in finance lease obligations is primarily a result of the modification of certain existing facility real estate leases that were previously classified as operating leases. See Note 6. "Leases" for further discussion.
