Debt And Credit Agreements 7. DEBT AND CREDIT AGREEMENTS
ABL Facility
In December 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“the Credit Agreement”), which, prior to the ABL Adjustment Date (as defined below), provided the Company with a $180 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility. In April 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement (as amended by Amendment No. 3 and Amendment No. 4, the “ABL Facility”) that, among other items: (i) moved the ABL Adjustment Date (defined below) from March 31, 2025 to September 30, 2025 and (ii) required weekly reporting of the borrowing base financial covenant until the ABL Adjustment Date. The ABL Facility is secured by substantially all assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, including equity in certain material first-tier foreign subsidiaries. Availability for borrowings under the ABL Facility is governed by a borrowing base, determined by the application of specified advance rates against eligible assets, including a portion of trade accounts receivable, inventory, cash and cash equivalents, owned real properties, and owned machinery and equipment. Upon the earlier of September 30, 2025 or the date the Company received the proceeds from the sale of Terphane (the “ABL Adjustment Date”), the $180 million ABL Facility was to be reduced to $125 million. On November 1, 2024, with the closing of the sale of Terphane, the ABL Adjustment Date occurred. The ABL Facility will expire on June 30, 2026. As of December 31, 2024, funds available to borrow under the ABL Facility was $43.8 million, or 35.0% of the aggregate commitment of $125 million.
Outstanding borrowings accrue interest at the rates elected by the Company depending on the type of loan and denomination of such borrowing. For the ABL Facility, the Company may elect interest rates at:
•Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) Spread (as defined in the ABL Facility) is determined in accordance with an excess availability-based pricing grid. ABR is defined, in part, as the greater of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% and (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (defined below) for a one-month period plus 1%; or
•The Term Benchmark Spread (as defined in the ABL Facility) is determined in accordance with an excess availability-based pricing grid. Adjusted Term SOFR Rate is defined as the Term SOFR Rate plus 0.10%, subject to an initial Floor (as defined in the ABL Facility) of 0%.
Based upon the quarterly average of daily availability under the ABL Facility, the interest rate pricing grid is as follows:
Pricing under the ABL Facility (Basis Points)
Quarter Average of Daily AvailabilityTerm Benchmark

Spread		Commitment
Fee
> 66% of $125 million aggregate commitment225.0 125.0 40.0 
≤ 66% but > 33% of $125 million aggregate commitment250.0 150.0 40.0 
≤ 33% of $125 million aggregate commitment275.0 175.0 40.0 
The financial covenant is a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the ABL Facility) of 1.00:1.00 that will be triggered in the event that availability is less than 10% of the $125 million commitment amount and continuing thereafter until availability is greater than 10% of the $125 million commitment amount for 30 consecutive days.
If at any time the availability under the ABL facility is less than 20% of the maximum aggregate principal amount in effect at such time or an Event of Default occurs, the Company’s current monthly reporting requirements to lenders changes to a weekly cadence until the Event of Default is waived, cured or the availability under the ABL facility is above 20% of the maximum aggregate principal amount for 30 consecutive days.
A Cash Dominion Period goes into effect if availability under the ABL Facility falls below 12.5% of the aggregate commitment or an Event of Default (as defined in the ABL Facility) occurs. The Company would then be subject to the Cash Dominion Period until the Event of Default is waived or ABL Facility availability is above 12.5% of the $125 million aggregate commitment for 30 consecutive days. During a Cash Dominion Period, receipts that have not yet been applied to the ABL Facility are classified as restricted cash in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
The ABL Facility has customary representations and warranties including, as a condition to each borrowing, that all such representations and warranties are true and correct in all material respects (including a representation that no Material
Adverse Effect (as defined in the ABL Facility) has occurred since December 31, 2022). In the event that the Company cannot certify that all conditions to the borrowing have been met, the lenders can restrict the Company’s future borrowings under the ABL Facility.
As of November 1, 2024, the Company is no longer in a Cash Dominion Period. Because a Cash Dominion Period was in effect as of December 31, 2023 and the Company is required to represent that no Material Adverse Effect has occurred as a
condition to borrowing, the outstanding debt under the ABL Facility (all contractual payments due on June 30, 2026) was classified as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023.
In accordance with the ABL Facility, the lenders have been provided with the Company’s financial statements, covenant compliance certificates and projections to facilitate their ongoing assessment of the Company. Accordingly, the Company believes the likelihood that lenders would exercise the subjective acceleration clause whereby prohibiting future borrowings is remote. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
