On May 31, 2019, the Company and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2019 Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent, and a group of lenders. The 2019 Credit Agreement amended and restated the Company’s existing amended and restated credit agreement dated as of December 23, 2016 to, among other modifications: (i) increase the amount of the outstanding term loan (“Term Loan”) from approximately $97 million to $100 million, (ii) extend the maturity date of the outstanding Term Loan and the revolving credit facility (“Revolver”) by approximately 29 months to May 31, 2024, and (iii) decrease the applicable interest rate margins for LIBOR and base rate loans by 25 basis points. The Term Loan was payable in 19 quarterly installments of principal and interest beginning on September 29, 2019, with escalating principal payments, at the rate of 5.0% per annum for the first eight payments, and 10.0% per annum for the remaining 11 payments, with the remaining balance of $62.5 million due upon maturity. The Revolver, in the aggregate amount of $200 million, subject to seasonal reduction to an aggregate amount of $100 million for the period from January 1 through August 1, was able to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, subject to certain restrictions. For each borrowing under the Existing Credit Agreement (as defined below), the Company was able to elect that such borrowing bear interest at an annual rate equal to either: (1) a base rate plus an applicable margin varying based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, where the base rate is the highest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the New York fed bank rate plus 0.5%, and (c) a LIBOR rate plus 1%, or (2) an adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin varying based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio.

 

On August 20, 2020, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent, and a group of lenders entered into a First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the 2019 Credit Agreement. The First Amendment amended the 2019 Credit Agreement to, among other modifications: (i) increase the aggregate principal amount of the existing Revolver commitments from $200.0 million to $250.0 million, (ii) establish a new tranche of term A-1 loans in an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million (the “2020 Term Loan”), (iii) increase the working capital sublimit with respect to the Revolver from $175.0 million to $200.0 million, and (iv) increase the seasonally-reduced Revolver commitments from $100.0 million to $125.0 million for the period from January 1 through August 1 for each fiscal year of the Company.

 

The 2020 Term Loan was payable in 15 quarterly installments of principal and interest beginning on September 27, 2020, with escalating principal payments, at the rate of 5.0% per annum for the first four payments, and 10.0% per annum for the remaining 11 payments, with the remaining balance of $67.5 million due upon maturity on May 31, 2024.

 

On November 8, 2021, the Company, certain of its U.S. subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the 2019 Credit Agreement. The Second Amendment amended the 2019 Credit Agreement to, among other modifications, decrease the interest margins and LIBOR floor applicable to the 2020 Term Loan.

 

On August 29, 2022, the Company, certain of its U.S. subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, entered into a Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the 2019 Credit Agreement. The Third Amendment amended the 2019 Credit Agreement (the 2019 Credit Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, and the Third Amendment, the “Existing Credit Agreement”) to modify certain financial covenants.

 

On June 27, 2023, the Company, certain of its U.S. subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Third Amended Credit Agreement”) to, among other modifications: (i) increase the amount of the outstanding term loan from approximately $150 million to $200 million, (ii) decrease the amount of the commitments in respect of the revolving credit facility from $250 million to $225 million, (iii) extend the maturity date of the outstanding term loan and the revolving credit facilities by approximately 48 months to June 27, 2028, and (iv) increase the applicable interest rate margins for SOFR and base rate loans by 25 basis points.

 

For each borrowing under the Third Amended Credit Agreement, the Company may elect that such borrowing bear interest at an annual rate equal to either: (1) a base rate plus an applicable margin varying based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, where the base rate is the highest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the New York fed bank rate plus 0.5%, and (c) an adjusted SOFR rate plus an applicable margin varying based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The adjusted SOFR rate includes a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% for all interest periods.

 

The Third Amended Credit Agreement requires that while any borrowings or commitments are outstanding the Company comply with certain financial covenants and affirmative covenants as well as certain negative covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments and make certain restricted payments. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of July 2, 2023. The Third Amended Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

 

Future principal term loan payments under the Third Amended Credit Agreement are as follows: $10.0 million – Fiscal 2024, $10.0 million – Fiscal 2025, $20.0 million – Fiscal 2026, $20.0 million – Fiscal 2027, and $140.0 million – Fiscal 2028.
