Seventh Amended and Restated Senior Credit Agreement On July 16, 2021, we entered into a seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement consisting of: (a) a $233.5 million term loan facility and (b) a $585.0 million revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility will terminate and the loans outstanding under the term loan facility will expire on July 16, 2026. The term loan was payable in quarterly installments increasing over the term of the facility. During 2022, we made a $90.0 million prepayment on the term loan facility resulting in the elimination of such quarterly payments with the remaining balance due upon the expiration of the term loan facility. The $90.0 million prepayment was accounted for as an extinguishment and resulted in a write-off to other expense of unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.5 million. Proceeds from the term loan facility and borrowings under the revolving credit facility were used to repay the then existing senior credit agreement. During 2021, we recorded $1.1 million to other expense related to the loss on the early extinguishment and third-party fees associated with the seventh amended and restated credit agreement. Interest rates are at the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 0.114% ("Adjusted Term SOFR") (5.489% at December 31, 2023) plus an interest rate margin of 1.125% (6.614% at December 31, 2023). For borrowings where we elect to use the alternate base rate, the initial base rate is the greatest of (i) the Prime Rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% or (iii) the one-month Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.00%, plus, in each case, an interest rate margin. There were $114.6 million in borrowings outstanding on the term loan facility as of December 31, 2023. There were $2.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2023. Our available borrowings on the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2023 were $581.4 million with approximately $1.6 million of the facility set aside for outstanding letters of credit. The carrying amounts of the term loan and revolving credit facility approximate fair value. The seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement is collateralized by substantially all of our personal property and assets. The seventh amended and restated senior credit agreement contains covenants and restrictions which, among other things, require the maintenance of certain financial ratios and restrict dividend payments and the incurrence of certain indebtedness and other activities, including acquisitions and dispositions. We were in full compliance with these covenants and restrictions as of December 31, 2023. We are also required, under certain circumstances, to make mandatory prepayments from net cash proceeds from any issuance of equity and asset sales. 2.625% Convertible Notes On January 29, 2019, we issued $345.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.625% convertible notes due in 2024. Interest was payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing August 1, 2019. The 2.625% Notes were scheduled to mature on February 1, 2024, unless earlier repurchased or converted. In February 2024, the Company repaid the $70.0 million then outstanding of the 2.625% Notes through borrowings on our revolving credit facility. Accordingly, we have classified the 2.625% Notes as long-term obligations as of the December 31, 2023 balance sheet date in accordance with the repayment terms of the revolving credit facility with which we refinanced the obligation. The 2.625% Notes represented subordinated unsecured obligations and were convertible under certain circumstances, as defined in the indenture, into a combination of cash and CONMED common stock. The 2.625% Notes were converted at an initial conversion rate of 11.2608 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2.625% Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $88.80 per share of common stock). Holders of the 2.625% Notes could have converted the 2.625% Notes at their option at any time on or after November 1, 2023 through the second scheduled trading day preceding the maturity date. Holders of the 2.625% Notes also had the right to convert the 2.625% Notes prior to November 1, 2023, but only upon the occurrence of specified events. The conversion rate was subject to anti-dilution adjustments if certain events occurred. A portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the 2.625% Notes was used as part of the financing for the Buffalo Filter acquisition and $21.0 million was used to pay the cost of certain convertible notes hedge transactions as further described below. On June 6, 2022, the Company repurchased and extinguished $275.0 million principal amount of the 2.625% Notes for aggregate consideration consisting of $275.0 million in cash and approximately 0.9 million shares of the Company's common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of $103.1 million to other expense based on the fair value of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued in connection with the extinguishment. This loss was not deductible for tax purposes. We also recorded a write-off to other expense of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the 2.625% Notes of $2.9 million. Concurrently, the Company entered into a Supplemental Indenture related to the remaining $70.0 million in 2.625% Notes, in which the Company irrevocably elected to settle the principal value of those 2.625% Notes in cash. Our effective borrowing rate for nonconvertible debt at the time of issuance of the 2.625% Notes was estimated to be 6.14%, which resulted in $51.6 million of the $345.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.625% Notes issued, or $39.1 million after taxes, being attributable to equity. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we have recorded interest expense related to the amortization of debt discount on the 2.625% Notes of $10.2 million at the effective interest rate of 6.14%. On January 1, 2022, we adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective approach as further described in Note 2. This ASU eliminated the equity component separately recorded for the conversion features associated with the convertible notes and related debt discount. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, we recorded interest expense on the 2.625% Notes of $1.8 million, $4.8 million and $9.1 million, respectively, at the contractual coupon rate of 2.625%. The estimated fair value of the 2.625% Notes was approximately $86.1 million as of December 31, 2023 based on a market approach which represents a Level 2 valuation in the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value was determined based on the estimated or actual bids and offers of the 2.625% Notes in an over-the-counter market transaction on the last business day of the period. 2.250% Convertible Notes On June 6, 2022, we issued $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.250% Notes. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing December 15, 2022. The 2.250% Notes will mature on June 15, 2027, unless earlier repurchased or converted. The 2.250% Notes represent subordinated unsecured obligations and are convertible under certain circumstances, as defined in the indenture, into a combination of cash and CONMED common stock, with the principal required to be paid in cash. The 2.250% Notes may be converted at an initial conversion rate of 6.8810 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2.250% Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $145.33 per share of common stock). Holders of the 2.250% Notes may convert the 2.250% Notes at their option at any time on or after March 15, 2027 through the second scheduled trading day preceding the maturity date. Holders of the 2.250% Notes will also have the right to convert the 2.250% Notes prior to March 15, 2027, but only upon the occurrence of specified events. The conversion rate is subject to anti-dilution adjustments if certain events occur. A portion of these proceeds were used to repurchase and extinguish a portion of the 2.625% Notes, pay off our then outstanding balance on our revolving line of credit, pay down $90.0 million of our term loan and partially pay for the In2Bones Acquisition. In addition, approximately $115.6 million of the proceeds were used to pay the cost of certain convertible notes hedge transactions related to the 2.250% Notes. For the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we have recorded interest expense on the 2.250% Notes of $18.0 million and $10.3 million, respectively, at the contractual coupon rate of 2.250%. The estimated fair value of the 2.250% Notes was approximately $802.4 million as of December 31, 2023 based on a market approach which represents a Level 2 valuation in the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value was determined based on the estimated or actual bids and offers of the 2.250% Notes in an over-the-counter market transaction on the last business day of the year. Convertible Notes Hedge Transactions In connection with the offerings of the 2.625% and 2.250% Notes, we entered into convertible notes hedge transactions with a number of financial institutions (each, an “option counterparty”). The convertible notes hedge transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the respective Notes, the number of shares of our common stock underlying the 2.625% and 2.250% Notes. Concurrent with entering into the convertible notes hedge transactions, we also entered into separate warrant transactions with each option counterparty whereby we sold to such option counterparty warrants to purchase, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the same number of shares of our common stock. In connection with the repurchase and extinguishment of $275.0 million principal amount of the 2.625% Notes, the Company entered into agreements with the option counterparties to terminate a corresponding portion of the hedges on the 2.625% Notes. The transactions had a net fair value due the Company on execution date of $22.2 million which was recorded as an adjustment to Paid-in Capital. The Company recorded a $5.5 million charge to other expense as a result of a subsequent decline in fair value between execution date and settlement date with the Company receiving net cash of $16.7 million. The termination of the convertible notes hedge resulted in the release of the related deferred tax asset. In connection with the issuance of 2.250% Notes, the Company purchased hedges for $187.6 million ($142.1 million net of tax) and received proceeds from the issuance of warrants totaling $72.0 million, recorded to paid-in capital. The convertible notes hedge transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, in the event that the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the convertible notes hedge transactions, is greater than the strike price of the convertible notes hedge transactions, which initially corresponds to the conversion price of the Notes and is subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the conversion rate of the Notes. If, however, the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the warrant transactions, exceeds the strike price ($114.92 for the 2.625% Notes and $251.53 for the 2.250% Notes) of the warrants, there would nevertheless be dilution to the extent that such market price exceeds the strike price of the warrants as noted in Note 1, unless we elect to settle the warrants in cash. The scheduled maturities of long-term debt outstanding at December 31, 2023 are as follows:
2024 | $ | — |
2025 | — |
2026 | 186,588 |
2027 | 800,000 |
