Revolving Credit Facility

In April 2018, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement, with certain of our subsidiaries as borrowers (together with us, the “Borrowers”) or guarantors thereunder, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, in its capacity as administrative agent (“Agent”), and certain other financial institutions party thereto. The amended and restated credit agreement was amended in January 2020 to provide that (i) the “Seasonal Period” run from November 15, 2019, through July 15, 2020, for the calendar year 2019, and from December 15 of each calendar year through April 15 of each immediately succeeding calendar year for the calendar year 2020 and thereafter, and (ii) the measurement period in the definition of “Cash Dominion Event” will be five consecutive business days instead of three consecutive business days. The amended and restated credit agreement was further amended in August 2021 to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of the revolving credit facility from October 10, 2022, to August 2, 2026, (ii) amend the Borrowing Base (as such term is defined under the amended and restated credit agreement) to include a certain portion of the assets of acquired companies prior to the conduct of a field exam or appraisals thereof by the Agent, (iii) modify certain definitions and various affirmative and negative covenants in the amended and restated credit agreement to provide additional flexibility for the Company, and (iv) add customary LIBOR replacement language (as amended, the “Revolving Credit Agreement”).

The revolving credit agreement provided for a senior secured asset-based revolving loan and letter of credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) of up to $600 million and an uncommitted accordion feature that permits the Borrowers, with consent of the lenders, to increase the facility by an aggregate additional principal amount of up to $150 million, which will allow borrowings of up to $750 million under the revolving credit facility. Letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $30 million are also available under the revolving credit agreement, which would reduce the amount of the revolving loans available under the revolving credit facility. The maturity date of the revolving credit agreement is August 2, 2026. The Borrowers’ obligations under the revolving credit agreement are secured by a security interest in substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets (other than real property), including inventories, accounts receivable, and proceeds from those items.

Borrowings under the revolving credit agreement are subject to availability under the Borrowing Base (as that term is defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement). The Borrowers are required to repay revolving loans thereunder to the extent that such revolving loans exceed the Borrowing Base then in effect. The revolving credit facility may be prepaid in whole or in part from time to time without penalty or premium, but including all breakage costs incurred by any lender thereunder.
The revolving credit agreement provides for interest on borrowings under the revolving credit facility at a rate per annum equal to (i) LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25 percent to 1.75 percent, with the amount of such margin determined based upon the average of the Borrowers’ excess availability for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter as calculated by the Agent, for loans based on LIBOR, or (ii) the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25 percent to 0.75 percent, with the amount of such margin determined based upon the average of the Borrowers’ excess availability for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter as calculated by the Agent, for loans based on the base rate.

All other material terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended, remained unchanged. The revolving credit agreement also contains representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type as well as customary events of default. In conjunction with our offering of senior secured notes, we amended the revolving credit facility to reduce the credit limit from $600 million to $350 million. In conjunction with the reduction of the credit limit of our revolving credit facility, we expensed approximately $1.6 million of debt issuance costs during the fourth quarter of 2021. These costs are included within interest expense, net, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and reported separately as an adjustment to net income in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As of January 1, 2022, we had zero outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility. As of January 2, 2021, we had outstanding borrowings of $288.2 million and excess availability of $184.3 million under our revolving credit facility. For the years ended January 2, 2021 and January 1, 2022, our effective interest rate on our revolving credit facility was 3.3 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively.

We were in compliance with all covenants under the revolving credit agreement as of January 1, 2022.

Senior Secured Notes

In October 2021, we entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”) with the guarantors party thereto and Truist Bank, as trustee and collateral agent, in connection with a private offering of $300 million of our six percent senior secured notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”). The 2029 Notes were issued to investors at 98.625 percent of their principal amount and will mature on November 15, 2029. The majority of net proceeds from the offering of the 2029 Notes were used to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In conjunction with this offering, we also amended the revolving credit facility to reduce the credit limit from $600 million to $350 million. In conjunction with the reduction of the credit limit of our revolving credit facility, we expensed approximately $1.6 million of debt issuance costs during the fourth quarter of 2021. These costs are included within interest expense, net, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and reported separately as an adjustment to net income in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company’s obligations under the 2029 Notes are guaranteed by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that are co-borrowers under or guarantee the Company’s revolving credit facility. The 2029 Notes and the related guarantees are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s and each guarantor’s existing and future assets (other than receivables, inventory, deposit accounts, securities accounts, business interruption insurance and other related assets (the “ABL Collateral”)), subject to certain exceptions and customary permitted liens. The 2029 Notes and the related guarantees are also secured on a second-priority basis by a lien on the ABL Collateral. Interest on the 2029 Notes will be payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on May 15, 2022.

The 2029 Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after November 15, 2024 at certain redemption prices. The redemption price for the 2029 Notes if redeemed during the twelve months beginning (i) November 15, 2024 is 103.000%, (ii) November 15, 2025 is 101.500%, and (iii) November 15, 2026 and thereafter is 100.000%. The Company may also redeem some or all of the 2029 Notes before November 15, 2024 at a redemption price of 100.0% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, plus a “make-whole” premium. In addition, the Company may redeem up to 40.0% of the outstanding 2029 Notes before November 15, 2024 with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a price equal to 106.000% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. Furthermore, the Company may redeem the 2029 Notes at any time and from time to time prior to November 15, 2024 during each of the three consecutive twelve month periods commencing on October 25, 2021 in an aggregate principal amount equal to up to 10.0% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes at a redemption price of 103.0%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. In addition, the Company may be required to make an offer to purchase the 2029 Notes upon the sale of certain assets or upon a change of control.
Term Loan Facility

In April 2018, in connection with the acquisition of Cedar Creek, we entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement by and among the Company, as borrower, certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, HPS Investment Partners, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (“HPS”) and certain other financial institutions as parties thereto. In October 2019, the Credit and Guaranty Agreement was amended to, among other things, permit real estate sale leaseback transactions. The Credit and Guaranty Agreement was amended in October 2019, January 2020, and February 2020 (as amended, the “Term Loan Agreement”). The Term Loan Agreement provided for a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $180 million (the “Term Loan Facility”). The proceeds from the term loan facility were used to fund a portion of the cash consideration payable in connection with the acquisition of Cedar Creek and to fund transaction costs in connection with the acquisition and the term loan facility. The obligations under the Term Loan Agreement were secured by a security interest in substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets, including inventories, accounts receivable, real property, and proceeds from those items.

As of January 2, 2021, we had outstanding borrowings of $43.2 million under our term loan facility. On April 2, 2021, we repaid the remaining outstanding principal balance under the term loan facility and the facility was terminated. As a result, as of January 1, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings under the term loan facility. In connection with our repayment of the term loan facility, we expensed $5.8 million of debt issuance costs during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 that we had been amortizing in connection the term loan facility. These costs are included within interest expense, net, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and reported separately as an adjustment to net income in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. While the facility was paid in full as of April 2, 2021, our average interest rate under the facility, exclusive of fees and prepayment premiums, was 8.2 percent and 8.0 percent for the years ended January 2, 2021 and January 1, 2022, respectively.

Finance Lease Obligations

Our finance lease liabilities consist of leases related to equipment and vehicles, and to real estate, with the majority of those finance lease commitments relating to the real estate financing transactions that we completed in recent years. During fiscal 2020, we completed real estate financing transactions on two warehouse facilities; and during fiscal 2021, we completed real estate financing transactions on fourteen warehouse facilities. We recognized financing lease assets and obligations as a result of each of these real estate transactions. We also entered into new finance lease agreements for new tractors for our fleet totaling $3.8 million and $10.5 million during fiscal 2020 and 2021, respectively. Our total finance lease commitments, including the properties associated with these transactions, totaled $274.7 million and $273.1 million as of January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, respectively. Of the $274.7 million of finance lease commitments as of January 1, 2022, $244.0 million related to real estate and $30.7 million related to equipment. Of the $273.1 million of finance lease commitments as of January 2, 2021, $243.7 million related to real estate and $29.4 million related to equipment.
