Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Agreement to Acquire Maverick Boat Group, Inc.
On December 31, 2020, MBG Holdco, Inc. (the “Purchaser”), a newly-formed, wholly-owned, direct subsidiary of Malibu Boats, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Malibu”) and indirect subsidiary of Malibu Boats, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) purchased all of the outstanding stock of Maverick Boat Group, Inc. (“Maverick”) from its existing stockholders (the “Sellers”) pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, dated as of December 31, 2020 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Purchaser, Maverick, and the other parties named therein (the “Acquisition”) for an aggregate purchase price of $150.0 million, subject to customary adjustments for the amounts of cash, indebtedness and working capital in the business at the closing date and subject to adjustment for certain capital expenditures made by Maverick prior to closing at the Purchaser’s request. The Purchaser paid the purchase price for the Acquisition with cash on hand and borrowings under its existing credit facility following an amendment to increase the amount available under the credit facility, as described below. A portion of the purchase price was deposited into escrow accounts to secure certain post-closing obligations of the Sellers.
The Stock Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties regarding the Purchaser, Maverick and the Sellers, customary covenants and post-closing restrictive covenants from certain Sellers in favor of the Purchaser, indemnification provisions and other provisions customary for transactions of this nature.
The foregoing description of the Stock Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The Stock Purchase Agreement has been provided solely to inform investors of its terms. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement were made only for the purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Stock Purchase Agreement and may be intended not as statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate. In addition, such representations, warranties and covenants may have been qualified by certain disclosures not reflected in the text of the Stock Purchase Agreement and may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by stockholders of, or other investors in, the Company. The Company’s stockholders and other investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Stock Purchase Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of the Company or Maverick or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.
Third Incremental Facility Amendment and Third Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On December 30, 2020, Malibu as the borrower (the “Borrower”) entered into the Third Incremental Facility Amendment and Third Amendment (the “Amendment”) to its existing Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 28, 2017 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC, parent of the Borrower and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “LLC”), and certain subsidiaries of the Borrower parties thereto, as guarantors, the lenders parties thereto and Truist Bank (successor by merger to SunTrust Bank), as administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing bank.
The Amendment added a $25.0 million Incremental Term Loan facility with a maturity date on July 1, 2024 and increased the borrowing capacity of the revolving credit facility by $50.0 million from $120.0 million to $170.0 million. Incremental term loans made pursuant to the Amendment will be subject to quarterly amortization at a rate of 5.0% per annum through December 31, 2022 and at a rate of 7.5% per annum thereafter and will bear interest at a rate equal to either, at the Company's option, (i) the highest of the prime rate, the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, or one-month LIBOR plus 1% (the “Base Rate”) or (ii) LIBOR, in each case plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% with respect to LIBOR borrowings and 0.25% to 1.25% with respect to Base Rate borrowings, which interest rate options are the same options applicable to other loans under the Credit Agreement. The applicable margin will be based upon the consolidated leverage ratio of the LLC and its subsidiaries calculated on a consolidated basis. Revolving loans made pursuant to the Amendment will have terms and conditions identical to revolving loans under the Credit Agreement. The Amendment also, among other things, (i) includes customary provisions for the transition of LIBOR to an alternate benchmark rate if and when LIBOR would no longer be the

benchmark for determining interest rates, (ii) revises the basket for purchase of stock or stock options of the LLC from former officers, directors or employees of loan parties or payments pursuant to stock option and other benefit plans from up to $2.0 million to up to $3.0 million in any fiscal year, and (iii) revises some of the other restrictive covenants and related definitions by, among other things, increasing applicable basket amounts and thresholds under the Credit Agreement.
In connection with the closing of the Acquisition, on December 31, 2020, the Company borrowed $90.0 million under the Credit Agreement. Immediately after effectiveness of the Amendment and the consummation of the Acquisition, the Company has $100.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under its term loan facilities and a $170.0 million revolving credit facility with $65.0 million outstanding, $1.2 million in outstanding letters of credit and $103.8 million available for borrowing.
The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
