2025 Notes
Our 9.00% convertible secured notes due August 2025 (“2025 Notes”), of which $61.2 million principal amount was outstanding at September 30, 2024, pay interest at the rate of 9.00%, of which 6.25% is payable in cash and 2.75% is payable in cash or additional notes, at the Company’s option. The 2025 Notes are secured by a first lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets, except for Credit Facility priority collateral, which secures the 2025 Notes on a second lien basis. In January 2023, $122.8 million or 48% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the 2025 Notes mandatorily converted into approximately 4.5 million shares of common stock.
In June 2024, we repurchased $13.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2025 Notes for $13.0 million. The net carrying value of the extinguished debt, including unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs, was $12.5 million, resulting in a $0.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt.
In August 2024, we redeemed $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2025 Notes for $60.0 million. The net carrying value of the extinguished debt, including amortized debt discount and debt issuance costs, was $58.2 million, resulting in a $1.8 million loss on extinguishment of debt.
Seller Term Loan
On January 4, 2024, the Company entered into the Seller Term Loan in connection with the closing of the Variperm Acquisition, which had an initial principal amount of $60.0 million and matures in December 2026. In March 2024, in connection with the finalization of purchase price adjustments, the principal amount of the Seller Term Loan was reduced by $0.3 million. The Seller Term Loan bears interest at the rate of (i) 11.00% per year for the period commencing on the Closing Date to (but excluding) the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) 17.00% per annum for the period commencing on the first anniversary of the Closing Date to (but excluding) the second anniversary of the Closing Date and (iii) 17.50% per annum for the period commencing on the second anniversary of the Closing Date to (but excluding) the maturity date. The Company has an option to prepay the Seller Term Loan anytime without premium or penalty.
The Seller Term Loan requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter commencing at the time excess availability is less than the greater of (x) 12.5% of the Line Cap and (y) $31.25 million and continuing until excess availability exceeds the greater of (x) 12.5% of the Line Cap and (y) $31.25 million for 60 consecutive days. “Line Cap” has the meaning set forth in the Credit Facility.
Subject to customary exceptions, all obligations under the Seller Term Loan are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by our wholly owned U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all assets of each such entity and the Company, subject to customary exclusions pursuant to certain intercreditor arrangements.
The Seller Term Loan also contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, as well as customary events of default, with corresponding grace periods, including, without limitation, payment defaults, cross-defaults to other agreements evidencing indebtedness and bankruptcy-related defaults.
Credit Facility
Our Credit Facility matures on the earliest of (a) September 8, 2028, (b) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of 2025 Notes (which will not apply if the 2025 Notes are repaid prior to such 91st day) and (c) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of the Seller Term Loan if the outstanding aggregate principal amount thereunder is equal to or greater than $30.0 million. The Credit Facility provides revolving credit commitments of $250.0 million (with a sublimit of up to $70.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries) (the “U.S. Line”), of which up to $50.0 million is available to certain of our Canadian subsidiaries for loans in U.S. or Canadian dollars (with a sublimit of up to $10.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit for the account of our Canadian subsidiaries) (the “Canadian Line”). Lender commitments under the Credit Facility, subject to certain limitations, may be increased by an additional $100.0 million.
Availability under the Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base calculated by reference to eligible accounts receivable in the U.S., Canada and certain other jurisdictions (subject to a cap) and eligible inventory in the U.S. and Canada. Our borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility could be reduced or eliminated, depending on future fluctuations in our receivables and inventory. As of September 30, 2024, our total borrowing base was $184.8 million, of which $109.0 million amount was drawn and $17.0 million was used as security for outstanding letters of credit, resulting in remaining availability of $58.8 million.
Borrowings under the U.S. Line bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (a) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), subject to a floor of 0.00%, plus a margin of 2.25% to 2.75%, or (b) a base rate plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.75%, in each case based upon the Company's quarterly total net leverage ratio. The U.S. Line base rate is determined by reference to the greatest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (ii) the one-month adjusted term SOFR plus 1.00% per annum, and (iii) the “prime rate” of interest announced by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, subject to a floor of 0.00%.
Borrowings under the Canadian Line bear interest at a rate equal to, at our Canadian borrowers’ option, either (a) Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”), subject to a floor of 0.00%, plus a margin of 2.25% to 2.75%, or (b) a base rate plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.75%, in each case based upon the Company's quarterly net leverage ratio. The Canadian Line base rate is determined by reference to the greater of (i) the one-month CORRA plus 1.00% per annum and (ii) the prime rate for Canadian dollar commercial loans made in Canada as reported by Thomson Reuters, subject to a floor of 0.00%.
The weighted average interest rate under the Credit Facility was approximately 8.37% and 8.28% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Credit Facility also provides for a commitment fee in the amount of (a) 0.375% on the unused portion of revolving commitments if average usage of the Credit Facility is greater than 50% and (b) 0.500% on the unused portion of revolving commitments if average usage of the Credit Facility is less than or equal to 50%.
If excess availability under the Credit Facility falls below the greater of 12.5% of the borrowing base and $31.25 million, we will be required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00:1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter until excess availability under the Credit Facility exceeds such threshold for 60 consecutive days.
Subject to customary exceptions, all obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries and, in the case of the Canadian Line, our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiaries, and are secured by substantially all assets of each such entity and the Company, subject to customary exclusions.
The Credit Facility contains various covenants that, among other things, limit our ability (none of which are absolute) to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares, grant certain liens, make certain loans and investments, pay dividends, make distributions or make other restricted payments, enter into mergers or acquisitions unless certain conditions are satisfied, change our lines of business, prepay certain indebtedness, enter into certain affiliate transactions or engage in certain asset dispositions.
If an event of default exists under the Credit Facility, the lenders will have the right to accelerate the maturity of the obligations outstanding under the Credit Facility and exercise other rights and remedies. Obligations outstanding under the Credit Facility, however, will be automatically accelerated upon an event of default arising from a bankruptcy or insolvency event. An event of default includes, among other things, nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts within certain grace periods; representations and warranties proving to be untrue in any material respect; failure to perform or otherwise comply with covenants in the Credit Facility or other loan documents, subject, in certain instances, to grace periods; cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness if such
default occurs at the final maturity of such indebtedness or if the effect of such default is to cause, or permit the holders of such indebtedness to cause, the acceleration of such indebtedness; bankruptcy or insolvency events; material monetary judgment defaults; invalidity or unenforceability of the Credit Facility or any other loan document; and the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Facility).
In October 2024, we entered into an amendment (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to our Credit Facility. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement Amendment, the Credit Agreement will, upon satisfaction of conditions precedent specified therein, be modified to (i) permit the issuance of the 2029 Bonds (as defined below), (ii) permit, subject to specified conditions and up to specified amounts, redemption of the 2029 Bonds in certain circumstances and (iii) specify the extent to which collateral will be granted to secure Credit Agreement obligations by subsidiaries of Forum organized or domiciled under the laws of the United Kingdom, Germany or any territory or county thereof.
10.5% Senior Secured Bonds due 2029
On October 24, 2024, we priced an issuance (the “Offering”) of $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.5% senior secured bonds due 2029 (the “2029 Bonds”). We expect to use the net proceeds from the Offering, together with cash on hand, to redeem in full all outstanding 2025 Notes and to repay all borrowings outstanding under the Seller Term Loan. The Offering is expected to close on November 7, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.
Other Debt
Other debt consists of various finance leases of equipment.
Letters of Credit and Guarantees
We execute letters of credit in the normal course of business to secure the delivery of product from specific vendors and also to guarantee our fulfillment of performance obligations relating to certain large contracts. The Company had $17.0 million and $20.3 million in total outstanding letters of credit as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
