Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
Debt | Debt On May 17, 2023, Shentel entered into Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) to its existing Credit Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2021, with various financial institutions party thereto (the “Lenders”) and CoBank, ACB, as administrative agent for the Lenders (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), which contains (i) a $100 million, five-year undrawn revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), (ii) a $150 million five-year delayed draw amortizing term loan (“Term Loan A-1”) and (iii) a $150 million seven-year delayed draw amortizing term loan (“Term Loan A-2” and collectively with Term Loan A-1, the “Term Loans”). The following loans were outstanding under the Credit Agreement:
(in thousands) | December 31, 2023 |  | December 31, 2022
Term loan A-1 | $ | 150,000 |  |  | $ | 37,500 |
Term loan A-2 | 150,000 |  |  | 37,500 |
Total debt | 300,000 |  |  | 75,000 |
Less: unamortized loan fees | (101) |  |  | (46) |
Total debt, net of unamortized loan fees | $ | 299,899 |  |  | $ | 74,954 |
The Amendment extended the period during which the Company could borrow under the Term Loans from July 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. The Amendment also extended the date on which the Term Loans must begin to be repaid in quarterly principal installments from September 30, 2023 to March 31, 2024. In addition, the Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to update the benchmark interest rate from the one-month term London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to a rate based on the one-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), added a 10 bps credit spread adjustment for loans that bear interest based on Term SOFR and made certain other conforming changes. All other material terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement were unchanged. Management evaluated the amendment and concluded that the amendment was a modification of the existing Credit Agreement and, therefore, modification accounting was applied. Both Term Loan A-1 and Term Loan A-2 bore interest at one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.60% until May 2023 and now bears interest at one-month term SOFR plus a margin of 1.60%. The margin of 1.60% is variable and determined by the Company’s net leverage ratio. Interest is paid monthly. The interest rate was 6.95% and 5.89% at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Our cash payments for interest were $8.4 million, $0.6 million and $10.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Interest paid in 2021 was incurred and paid under a prior credit agreement which was repaid in connection with the sale of the Wireless business in 2021. See Note 16, Discontinued Operations, for details concerning the sale of the Wireless business. Shentel is charged commitment fees on unutilized portions of its Revolver and Term Loans. The Company recorded $0.5 million, $0.7 million and $0.5 million related to these fees for the year ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which are included in other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). The Credit Agreement includes various covenants, including total net leverage ratio and debt service coverage ratio financial covenants. Shentel’s Term Loans require quarterly payments based on a percentage of the outstanding balance. Based on the outstanding balance as of December 31, 2023, Term Loan A-1 requires quarterly principal repayments of $0.9 million from March 31, 2024 through June 30, 2024; then increasing to $1.9 million quarterly from September 30, 2024 through March 31, 2026, with the remaining balance due June 30, 2026. Based on the outstanding balance as of December 31, 2023, Term Loan A-2 requires quarterly principal repayments of $0.4 million through March 31, 2028, with the remaining balance due June 30, 2028. The following table summarizes the expected payments of Shentel’s outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2023:
(in thousands) |  | Amount
2024 |  | $ | 7,125 |
2025 |  | 9,000 |
2026 |  | 138,375 |
2027 |  | 1,500 |
2028 |  | 144,000 |
Total |  | $ | 300,000 |
Shentel has not made any borrowings under its Revolver as of December 31, 2023. In the event borrowings are made in the future, the entire outstanding principal amount borrowed is due June 30, 2026. The Credit Agreement is fully secured by a pledge and unconditional guarantee from the Company and all of its subsidiaries, except Shenandoah Telephone Company. This provides the lenders a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company.
