Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Facility

On June 22, 2016, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) with a group of lenders for which Jefferies Finance LLC acts as administrative agent and collateral agent. The Term Loan Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured term loan B facility (the “Term Loan Facility”). On August 23, 2022, the Company entered into an eight amendment (“Eighth Amendment”) in an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 maturing on August 23, 2029 (“2029 Term Loans”), comprising of a refinancing of the then existing term loans balance under the Term Loan Credit Agreement of $167,391 and an incremental borrowing of $132,609. The incremental funds are to be used for capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions, working capital, and general corporate purposes of the Company. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as collateral. The Company is required to make scheduled principal payments of 0.25% of the original principal amount per quarter.
Additionally, the Term Credit Agreement includes an accordion which permits the Company to request that the lenders extend additional Term Loans based on certain performance, leverage ratio and other restrictions. The Term Loan Credit Agreement includes a springing maturity of the earlier of August 23, 2029 and the date that is 181 days prior to the schedule maturity date of any individual trance of unsecured indebtedness of which a principal amount in excess of $40,000 remains outstanding on such date.

The interest charged on the 2029 Term Loans is equal to, at the Company’s option, either the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Eighth Agreement) plus 375 basis points or the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) for one-, two-, three- or six -month interest periods chosen by the Company.

The Eight Amendment involved multiple members of a loan syndicate. The Company performed an analysis for each lender in accordance with ASC 470 “Debt” to determine whether the Eighth Amendment resulted in a substantial change to the remaining cash flows which is defined as a change in present value of remaining cash flows of 10% or more. As a result of the analysis, the Company incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $142 which represents the portion of unamortized deferred financing fees attributable to lenders that exited the loan syndicate. The transaction was accounted for as a modification for existing lenders that participated in the 2029 Term Loans. The Company deferred lender and third-party fees of $10,852 as debt issuance costs to be amortized over the term of the loan. Arrangement and third-party transaction costs of $4,498 were expensed as incurred.

The Term Loan Facility contains affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default customary for a term loan B facility of this type, as more particularly described in the Term Loan Credit Agreement. The Eight Amendment removed a minimum liquidity covenant which required the Company to maintain certain liquidity levels as of the last day of any fiscal quarter where EBITDA did not meet a predefined target.

Asset-Based Loan Facility

On June 29, 2018, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) with a group of lenders for which BMO Harris Bank, N.A. acts as administrative agent. The ABL Credit Agreement provides for an asset-based loan facility (the “ABL”) in the aggregate amount of up to $150,000. On March 11, 2022 the Company entered into a third amendment to the ABL Credit Agreement which increased the aggregate commitments to $200,000 maturing on March 11, 2027. Borrowings under the ABL will be used, and are expected to be used, for capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions, working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company. Availability under the ABL will be limited to a borrowing base equal to the lesser of: (i) the aggregate amount of commitments or (ii) the sum of specified percentages of eligible receivables and eligible inventory, minus certain availability reserves. The Company under the ABL is entitled on one or more occasions, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to request an increase in the commitments under the ABL in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25,000. The ABL includes a springing maturity date that occurs 90 days prior to the earliest maturity under the Company’s senior secured term loan facility and the date that is 181 days prior to the scheduled maturity date of any individual tranche of unsecured indebtedness of which a principal amount in excess of $40,000 remains outstanding on such date and March 11, 2027.

The third amendment of the ABL was accounted for as a debt modification. The Company incurred transaction costs of $406 which were capitalized as deferred financing fees to be amortized over the term of the ABL.

The interest rate charged on borrowings under the ABL is equal to a spread plus, at the Company’s option, either the Base Rate (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) or a forward-looking term rate based on SOFR for one-, three-, or six-month interest periods chosen by the Company. The Company will pay certain recurring fees with respect to the ABL, including fees on unused lender commitments.

The ABL Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default as more particularly described in the ABL Credit Agreement. If the amount of availability under the ABL falls below $14,000 or 10% of the borrowing base,the Company is required to comply with a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1:1.

The Company had reserved $24,173 of the ABL for the issuance of letters of credit. As of December 30, 2022, funds totaling $135,827 were available for borrowing under the ABL.

2028 Convertible Senior Notes
 
On December 13, 2022, the Company issued $287,500 aggregate principal amount of 2.375% Convertible Senior Notes (the “2028 Convertible Notes”). The 2028 Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of December 13, 2022 (the
“2028 Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. Concurrently with the issuance of the 2028 Convertible Notes, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated transactions (the “Exchange Transactions”) with a limited number of holders of its 1.875% Convertible Senior Notes ( the “2024 Convertible Notes) to exchange or repurchase approximately $158,316 principal amount of 2024 Convertible Notes for an aggregate consideration consisting of approximately $159,709 in cash, which includes accrued interest on the 2024 Convertible Notes, and approximately 324,066 shares of the Company’s common stock. Net proceeds are are expected to be used for capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions, working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company.

The Company performed an analysis for each lender in accordance with ASC 470 “Debt” to determine whether the Exchange Transactions resulted in a substantial change to the remaining cash flows which is defined as a change in present value of remaining cash flows or a change in the fair value of the conversion option of more than 10%. As a result of the analysis, the Exchange Transaction was recorded as an extinguishment and the Company incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $14,145 which is reflected in interest expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company incurred third party transaction costs of approximately $6,971 which were capitalized as deferred financing fees to be amortized over the term of the 2028 Senior Notes.

The 2028 Convertible Notes bear interest of 2.375% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2023.

Approximately $43,225 of the net proceeds were used to repay all borrowings then outstanding under the ABL and the remainder was used for working capital, general corporate purposes and acquisitions.

On March 1, 2021, the Company issued $50,000 aggregate principal amount of 2024 Convertible Notes at a premium which were offered as an additional issuance and under the same terms as the 2024 Convertible Notes initially issued on November 22, 2019. Net proceeds were used to repay all outstanding borrowings under the Company's 2022 tranche of senior secured term loans of $31,166 and repay a portion of borrowings outstanding under the Company’s ABL. The Company incurred transaction costs of approximately $1,350 which were capitalized as deferred financing fees to be amortized over the term of the 2024 Senior Notes.
