The Company had no debt as of December 31, 2020. On June 30, 2021, in connection with the closing of the acquisition of Title365, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for a $225.0 million senior secured term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). The Revolving Facility includes $10.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. The Revolving Facility also includes a swingline sub-facility (the “Swingline Facility”) that accommodates same-day borrowing of base rate loans. The sublimit for the Swingline Facility is $5.0 million.

The Term Loan was fully drawn at closing to provide, in part, the cash consideration paid in connection with the acquisition of Title365. The Term Loan was funded and the cash consideration was transferred on July 1, 2021. The Revolving Facility remained available and undrawn as of December 31, 2021.

The borrowings under the Term Loan and Revolving Facility accrue interest at a floating rate which can be, at the Company’s option, either (i) an adjusted LIBOR rate for a specified interest period plus an applicable margin of 7.50% or (ii) a base rate plus an applicable margin of 6.50%. The LIBOR rate applicable to the Term Loan and the Revolving Facility is subject to a floor of 1.00%, and the base rate is subject to a floor of 2.00%. The base rate for any day is a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) the federal funds effective rate in effect on such day, plus 0.50%, (ii) the rate of interest for such day as published in the Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate,” and (iii) the adjusted LIBOR rate for a one-month interest period, plus 1.00%. Interest is payable in cash on a quarterly basis.
In addition to paying interest on amounts outstanding under the Term Loan and the Revolving Facility, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum of the unused commitments under the Revolving Facility. The Company is also required to pay letter of credit fees, customary fronting fees, and other customary documentary fees in connection with the issuance of letters of credit.

The Company incurred approximately $5.7 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the Term Loan, which have been deferred, and the remaining unamortized portion of these costs is presented as a reduction of long-term debt. Debt issuance costs related to the Revolving Facility amounted to $0.5 million, and the remaining unamortized portion of these costs is presented within other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021.

In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company issued a Series G preferred stock warrant to purchase 598,431 shares of Class A common stock if exercised after an IPO (refer to Note 11, “Warrants,” for detail). The proceeds from the issuance of debt were allocated between the Term Loan and the warrant based on their relative fair values, resulting in a debt discount of approximately $6.8 million for the amount allocated to the warrant and accounted for as paid-in capital.

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the lender is entitled to an exit fee in an amount equal to 2.00% of the signing date term facility commitment. The exit fee resulted in an additional debt discount of $4.5 million. The exit fee shall be due and payable on the earliest to occur:
a)    The maturity date of the Term Loan;
b)    The date on which all amounts then outstanding under the Term Loan are paid in full;
c)    The acceleration of the obligations with respect to the Term Loan for any reason;
d)    Any event of default as defined by the Term Loan; and
e)    Any repayment resulting from or in connection with a change of control.

Including the impact of the deferred debt issuance costs and the debt discounts resulting from the exit fee and the warrant, the effective interest rate on the Term Loan was approximately 10.20% at December 31, 2021. Debt issuance costs, debt discounts, and the Revolving Facility issuance costs are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the Credit Agreement.

The fair value of the Term Loan as of December 31, 2021 was approximately $220.5 million and is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Term Loan was measured by applying the income approach, which discounts the future contractual cash flows using a current risk-adjusted rate available to borrowers with similar credit ratings.

The Term Loan and Revolving Facility will mature on June 30, 2026, and the full principal amount of each is due at maturity. No amortization payments are required with respect to either the Term Loan or the Revolving Facility.

The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries (other than Title365 and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, and subject to certain thresholds and other exceptions), and secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets (other than the equity issued by, and the assets of, Title365 and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, and subject to certain thresholds and other exceptions).
The Credit Agreement contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, which, in the event of default, may require a mandatory prepayment of amounts due thereunder. The Credit Agreement also contains a minimum liquidity covenant. As of December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
