NOTE 13. | LONG-TERM DEBT
On August 12, 2019, Link Media Holdings, Inc., (“Link”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Boston Omaha Corporation (“BOC”), which owns and operates BOC’s billboard businesses, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with First National Bank of Omaha (the “Lender”) under which Link could borrow up to $40,000,000 (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Agreement provides for an initial term loan (“Term Loan 1”), an incremental term loan (“Term Loan 2”) and a revolving line of credit. Link initially borrowed approximately $18,000,000 under Term Loan 1 and $5,500,000 under Term Loan 2. These loans are secured by all assets of Link and its operating subsidiaries, including a pledge of equity interests of each of Link’s subsidiaries. In addition, each of Link’s subsidiaries has joined as a guarantor to the obligations under the Credit Agreement. These loans are not guaranteed by BOC or any of BOC’s non-billboard businesses. On December 6, 2021, Link entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement with the Lender which modified the original Credit Agreement by merging all outstanding principal amounts under both Term Loan 1 and Term Loan 2 into one term loan (the “Term Loan”) having a fixed interest rate of 4.00% per annum, and increasing the total Term Loan borrowing limit to $30,000,000. On May 31, 2022, Link entered into a Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement with the Lender which modified the Credit Agreement by extending the period of time under which Link may issue to BOC a cash dividend from January 31, 2022 to June 30, 2022 in the amount up to $8,125,000 in the aggregate. On April 6, 2023, Link entered into a Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”) with the Lender. The Sixth Amendment modifies the Credit Agreement to provide additional flexibility for Link in making “Investment Capital Expenditures” by no longer deducting expenditures which qualify as Investment Capital Expenditures from EBITDA in calculating the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. As a result, only “Maintenance Capital Expenditures” shall be deducted from EBITDA in testing the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The amount of unfunded Investment Capital Expenditures (Investment Capital Expenditures other than expenditures funded by BOC) allowable during any test period shall not exceed the Investment Capital Expenditure Available Amount during such test period. On September 22, 2023, Link entered into a Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement with the Lender which modified the Credit Agreement by increasing the maximum availability under the revolving line of credit loan facility from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000. As of December 31, 2023, Link has borrowed $30,000,000 through the Term Loan under the Credit Facility. Principal amounts under the Term Loan are payable in monthly installments according to a 25-year amortization schedule. Principal payments commenced on July 1, 2020 for amounts previously borrowed under Term Loan 1 and October 1, 2020 for amounts previously borrowed under Term Loan 2. The Term Loan is payable in full on December 6, 2028. The revolving line of credit loan facility has a $10,000,000 maximum availability. Interest payments are based on the 30-day U.S. Prime Rate minus an applicable margin ranging between 0.65% and 1.15% dependent on Link’s consolidated leverage ratio. The revolving line of credit is due and payable on August 12, 2025. Long-term debt included within our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 consists of Term Loan borrowings of $27,337,766 and $28,499,270, respectively, of which $814,667 and $1,545,090 are classified as current, respectively. There were no amounts outstanding related to the revolving line of credit as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. During the term of the Credit Facility, Link is required to comply with the following financial covenants: A consolidated leverage ratio for any test period ending on the last day of any fiscal quarter of Link (a) beginning with the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021 of not greater than 3.50 to 1.00, (b) beginning with the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022 of not greater than 3.25 to 1.00, and (c) beginning with the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2023 and thereafter, of not greater than 3.00 to 1.0, and a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.15 to 1.00 measured quarterly, based on a rolling four quarters. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2023. The Credit Agreement includes representations and warranties, reporting covenants, affirmative covenants, negative covenants, financial covenants, and events of default customary for financings of this type. Upon the occurrence of an event of default the Lender may accelerate the loans. Upon the occurrence of certain insolvency and bankruptcy events of default the loans will automatically accelerate. The aggregate minimum principal payments required on long-term debt as of December 31, 2023 were as follows: $814,667 in 2024, $851,444 in 2025, $886,624 in 2026, $923,257 in 2027, and $23,861,774 in 2028.
