Credit Agreement | Credit Agreement 2019 Credit Agreement In October 2019, Lawson entered into a Credit Agreement (as amended through March 31, 2022, the “2019 Credit Agreement”) by and among Lawson, certain subsidiaries of Lawson, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The 2019 Credit Agreement provided for a revolving credit facility (the “Old Revolving Credit Facility”) with a maturity date of October 11, 2024 and with $100.0 million of revolving commitments. Net of outstanding letters of credit, the Company had $83.4 million of borrowing availability under the Old Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2022 and $87.1 million as of December 31, 2021. The weighted average interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was 2.23%. There were no balances outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Fees are reported as interest expense and include customary charges relating to letters of credit and an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.15% to 0.30%, depending on the Total Net Leverage Ratio as defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement. Fees for both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 were less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. In connection with the Old Revolving Credit Facility originated in 2019, deferred financing costs of $0.6 million were incurred. Deferred financing costs are amortized over the life of the debt instrument and reported as interest e xpense. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 deferred financing costs net of accumulated amortization were $0.3 million, respectively, and are included in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Borrowings were designated as alternate base rate loans, Canadian prime rate loans, Eurodollar loans, and Canadian dollar offered rate loans. Interest rates varied by the type of borrowing and Total Net Leverage Ratio as defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement of the most recent fiscal quarter. The 2019 Credit Agreement included customary financial covenants, representations and warranties. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2022. Amended and Restated Credit Agreement - April 1, 2022 Subsequent to quarter end, on April 1, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Lawson and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), by and among Lawson, certain subsidiaries of Lawson as borrowers or guarantors, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the 2019 Credit Agreement was amended and restated in its entirety. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for (i) a $200 million senior secured revolving credit facility, with a $25 million letter of credit subfacility and a $10 million swingline loan subfacility, (ii) a $250 million senior secured initial term loan facility and (iii) a $50 million senior secured delayed draw term loan facility. In addition, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement permits Lawson to increase the commitments under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement from time to time by up to $200 million in the aggregate, subject to, among other things, the receipt of additional commitments from existing and/or new lenders and pro forma compliance with the financial covenants in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The revolving credit facility is available to be drawn in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars and any other additional currencies that may be agreed. As of the Closing Date, there were $250 million of initial term loan facility loans outstanding and approximately $86 million of revolving credit facility loans outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. These borrowings were used, among other things, to repay certain existing indebtedness of TestEquity and Gexpro Services and their respective subsidiaries and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Mergers and the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires that the proceeds of any revolving credit facility loans be used for working capital and general corporate purposes (including, without limitation, permitted acquisitions). The Amended and Restated Credit Facility requires that the proceeds of any delayed draw term loan facility be used solely to finance the payment of consideration for (i) the potential acquisition by TestEquity of a certain business that had been previously identified to Lawson as a potential acquisition candidate by TestEquity prior to the date of the TestEquity Merger Agreement and (ii) other acquisitions permitted under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and for any fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. The loans under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bear interest, at Lawson’s option, at a rate equal to (i) the Alternate Base Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate (each as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), plus, in each case, an additional margin ranging from 0.0% to 1.75% per annum, depending on the total net leverage ratio of Lawson and its restricted subsidiaries as of the most recent determination date under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or (ii) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the CDOR Rate (each as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), plus, in each case, an additional margin ranging from 1.0% to 2.75% per annum, depending on the total net leverage ratio of Lawson and its restricted subsidiaries as of the most recent determination date under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement further provides that the additional margin for the period from the Closing Date until Lawson’s delivery of its financial statements and compliance certificate for the first full quarter ending after the Closing Date shall be 1.5% per annum for Alternate Base Rate or Canadian Prime Rate loans and 2.5% per annum for all other loans. Certain closing fees, arrangement fees, administration fees, commitment fees and letter of credit fees are payable to the lenders and the agents under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including a commitment fee on the daily unused amount of the revolving credit facility that will accrue at a rate ranging from 0.15% to 0.35% per annum, depending on the total net leverage ratio of Lawson and its restricted subsidiaries as of the most recent determination date under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement further provides that such commitment fee for the period from the Closing Date until Lawson’s delivery of its financial statements and compliance certificate for the first full quarter ending after the Closing Date shall accrue at a rate of 0.3% per annum. In addition, the delayed draw term loan facility shall accrue a ticking fee at a rate ranging from 0.15% to 0.35% per annum, depending on the total net leverage ratio of Lawson and its restricted subsidiaries as of the most recent determination date under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which ticking fee shall be payable during the period from the Closing Date to the date on which the lenders’ delayed draw term loan facility commitments terminate. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement further provides that the ticking fee for the period from the Closing Date until Lawson’s delivery of its financial statements and compliance certificate for the first full quarter after the Closing Date shall accrue at a rate of 0.3% per annum. Each of the loans under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement mature on April 1, 2027, at which time all outstanding loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, must be repaid and the revolving credit facility commitments will terminate. In addition, the lenders’ commitments under the delayed draw term loan facility expire on October 1, 2022, and no additional delayed draw term loans may be made on or after such date. Lawson is required to repay principal on the term loans each quarter in the following amounts (subject to potential adjustment): (i) $3,125,000, in the case of the initial term loan facility, and (ii) an amount equal to 1.25% of the funded delayed draw term loan facility, in the case of the delayed draw term loan facility. Lawson is also required to prepay the term loans with the net cash proceeds from any disposition of certain assets (subject to reinvestment rights) or from the incurrence of any unpermitted debt. Lawson may borrow, repay and reborrow the revolving loans until April 1, 2027, prepay any of the term loans, and terminate any of the commitments, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions and the reimbursement of certain lender costs in the case of prepayments of certain types of loans. Subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the obligations of Lawson and its U.S. subsidiaries under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Lawson and certain of Lawson’s U.S. subsidiaries and the obligations of each of Lawson’s Canadian subsidiaries under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Lawson and certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries. Subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in and lien on substantially all assets of Lawson, each other borrower and each guarantor. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains various affirmative covenants, including financial maintenance covenants requiring Lawson to maintain compliance with a consolidated minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum total net leverage ratio, each determined in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains various events of default (subject to exceptions, thresholds and grace periods as set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). Under certain circumstances, a default interest rate will apply on all obligations at a rate equal to 2.0% per annum above the applicable interest rate.
