Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facilities

In March 2022, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, SMP Motor Products Ltd. and Trumpet Holdings, Inc., entered into an amendment to our existing Credit Agreement, dated as of October 28, 2015, as amended (the "2015 Credit Agreement"), with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent, and a syndicate of lenders for our senior secured revolving credit facility. The amendment provided for the drawdown of an additional $50 million from the agreement’s accordion feature to increase the line of credit under the revolving credit facility from $250 million to $300 million, and updated the benchmark provisions to replace LIBOR with Term SOFR as the reference rate.  

In June 2022, the Company entered into a new Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders (the “Credit Agreement”).  The Credit Agreement provides for a $500 million credit facility comprised of a $100 million term loan facility (the “term loan”) and a $400 million multi-currency revolving credit facility available in U.S. Dollars, Euros, Sterling, Swiss Francs, Canadian Dollars and other currencies as agreed to by the administrative agent and the lenders (the “revolving facility”). The Credit Agreement replaces and refinances the 2015 Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement were used to repay all outstanding borrowings under the 2015 Credit Agreement, and pay certain fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement, with future borrowings used for other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries.  The term loan amortizes in quarterly installments of 1.25% in each of the first four years, and quarterly installments of 2.5% in the fifth year of the Credit Agreement.  The revolving facility has a $25 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $25 million sub-limit for the borrowing of swingline loans.  The maturity date is June 1, 2027.  The Company may request up to two one-year extensions of the maturity date.

The Company may, upon the agreement of one or more then existing lenders or of additional financial institutions not currently party to the Credit Agreement, increase the revolving facility commitments or obtain incremental term loans by an aggregate amount not to exceed (x) the greater of (i) $168 million or (ii) 100% of consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the four fiscal quarters ended most recently before such date, plus (y) the amount of any voluntary prepayment of term loans, plus (z) an unlimited amount so long as, immediately after giving effect thereto, the pro forma First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) does not exceed 2.5 to 1.0.

Term loan and revolver facility borrowings in U.S. Dollars bear interest, at the Company’s election, at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR plus 0.10% plus an applicable margin, or an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin, where the alternate base rate is the greater of the prime rate, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and one-month Term SOFR plus 0.10% plus 1.00%. Term loan borrowings were made at one-month Term SOFR. The applicable margin for the term benchmark borrowings ranges from 1.0% to 2.0%, and the applicable margin for alternate base rate borrowings ranges from 0% to 1.0%, in each case, based on the total net leverage ratio of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries.  The Company may select interest periods of one, three or six months for Term SOFR borrowings.  Interest is payable at the end of the selected interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly.

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by its material domestic subsidiaries (each, a “Guarantor”), and secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of the existing and future personal property of the Company and each Guarantor, subject to certain exceptions.  The collateral security described above also secures certain banking services obligations and interest rate swaps and currency or other hedging obligations of the Company owing to any of the then existing lenders or any affiliates thereof.  Concurrently with the Company’s entry into the Credit Agreement, the Company also entered into a seven year interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Co-Syndication Agent and lender under the Credit Agreement, on $100 million of borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The interest rate swap agreement matures in May 2029.

Outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2022 under the Credit Agreement were $264.5 million, consisting of current borrowings of $61 million and long-term debt of $203.5 million; while outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2021 under the 2015 Credit Agreement were $125.3 million, consisting of current borrowings.  Letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement were $2.6 million at June 30, 2022, and $2.6 million under the 2015 Credit Agreement at December 31, 2021.  Borrowings at December 31, 2021 under the 2015 Credit Agreement have been classified as current liabilities based upon accounting rules and certain provisions in the agreement.

At June 30, 2022, the weighted average interest rate under our Credit Agreement was 3.5%, which consisted of $260 million in borrowings at 3.5% under Term SOFR, adjusted for the impact of the interest rate swap agreement on $100 million of borrowings, and an alternative base rate borrowing of $4.5 million at 5.3%.  At December 31, 2021, the weighted average interest rate on our 2015 Credit Agreement was 1.4%, which consisted of $125 million in direct borrowings at 1.4% and alternative base rate loan of $0.3 million at 3.5%. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, our average daily alternative base rate loan balance was $10.8 million, compared to a balance of $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and a balance of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants limiting, among other things, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the creation of liens, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, dividends and other payments in respect of equity interests, acquisitions, investments, loans and guarantees, subject, in each case, to customary exceptions, thresholds and baskets.  The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default.

Polish Overdraft Facility

In February 2022, our Polish subsidiary, SMP Poland sp. z.o.o., amended its overdraft facility with HSBC Continental Europe (Spolka Akcyjna) Oddzial w Polsce, formerly HSBC France (Spolka Akcyjna) Oddzial w Polsce.  The amended overdraft facility provides for borrowings of up to Zloty 30 million (approximately $6.7 million).  Availability under the amended facility commenced in March 2022, with automatic three-month renewals until 2027 subject to cancellation by either party, at its sole discretion, at least 30 days prior to the commencement of the three-month renewal period.  Borrowings under the overdraft facility will bear interest at a rate equal to WIBOR + 1.5% and are guaranteed by Standard Motor Products, Inc., the ultimate parent company.  At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, borrowings under the overdraft facility were Zloty 12.9 million (approximately $2.9 million) and Zloty 12.3 million (approximately $3 million), respectively.

Deferred Financing Costs

We have deferred financing costs of approximately $2.4 million and $0.4 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.  Deferred financing costs are related to our term loan and revolving credit facilities.  In connection with the amendment to the 2015 Credit Agreement entered into in March 2022 and the Credit Agreement entered into in June 2022 with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent, we incurred and capitalized approximately $0.2 million, and $1.9 million, respectively, of deferred financing costs related to bank, legal, and other professional fees which are being amortized, along with certain preexisting deferred financing costs, through June 2027, the term of the Credit Agreement.  In addition, upon entering into the Credit Agreement, we wrote-off $40,000 of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the 2015 Credit Agreement.  Unamortized deferred financing costs written-off in June 2022 were recorded in other non-operating income (expense), net in our consolidated statement of operations.

Deferred financing costs as of June 30, 2022, assuming no prepayments, are being amortized as follows:
