2021 BSP Term Loan

  $     $     $     $ 68,901     $ (1,750 )   $ 67,151  

 

* The term loan was valued using the discounted cash flow method to determine the implied debt discount. The debt discount and issuance costs are amortized over the life of the term loan on a straight-line basis which approximates the effective interest method.

 

On June 2, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers, entered into a First Lien Term Loan Facility Credit Agreement (the “2021 BSP Term Loan Agreement”) with Benefit Street Partners L.L.C., as Sole Lead Arranger, and BSP Agency, LLC, as agent, for a $99.0 million first-lien secured term loan (the “Initial Term Loan”) and a $19.0 million delayed draw term loan (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan” and collectively, the “2021 BSP Term Loan”). Net proceeds from the issuance of the 2021 BSP Term Loan, after deduction of $2.2 million in closing fees and $0.5 million of other administrative fees paid directly to the lenders, totaled $96.3 million. These fees are amortized over the life of the 2021 BSP Term Loan on a straight-line basis which approximates the effective interest method. Proceeds from the Initial Term Loan, together with available cash from the Company, were used to repay the Company’s former term loan (the “2019 Recap Term Loan” formerly known as the “New Term Loan” in prior filings) under the agreement dated as of August 9, 2019 with Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as agent for certain investor parties. The Delayed Draw Term Loan provision was designed to provide necessary capital to redeem any of the Company’s outstanding 3.25% convertible senior notes due 2023, upon their maturity, which, upon repayment of the 2019 Recap Term Loan, accelerated to no later than 91 days from the repayment of the 2019 Recap Term Loan, or September 1, 2021. On July 29, 2021, the Company terminated its Delayed Draw Term Loan option as it determined it had sufficient liquidity to fund any outstanding convertible senior notes that remained upon maturity.

 

Amounts outstanding under the 2021 BSP Term Loan bear interest at either (i) LIBOR plus 6.50% - 7.00% (determined by reference to a net leverage pricing grid), subject to a 1.00% LIBOR floor, or (ii) base rate plus 5.50% - 6.00% (determined by reference to a net leverage pricing grid), subject to a 2.00% base rate floor. The 2021 BSP Term Loan matures in June 2027.

 

In January 2023, the Company entered into a second amendment for its 2021 BSP Term Loan Agreement, which transitioned the interest reference rate on its 2021 BSP Term Loan from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The new interest reference rate for the 2021 BSP Term Loan will be effective on April 1, 2023. In addition to the transition to SOFR, the amendment also includes a constant 0.10% spread adjustment until the maturity of the 2021 BSP Term Loan.

 

The 2021 BSP Term Loan Agreement contains negative covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make restricted payments, pledge its assets as security, make investments, loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions, undergo fundamental changes and enter into transactions with affiliates. Commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021, the Company is required to maintain a Net Leverage Ratio of 4:00x, with step-downs occurring each fiscal year starting with the quarter ending March 31, 2022 through the quarter ending September 30, 2024 in which the Company is required to maintain a Net Leverage Ratio of 3:00x. On April 26, 2022, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the 2021 BSP Term Loan Agreement, to provide, among other things, that the Company must maintain Qualified Cash of at least: (a) at all times after the Closing Date and prior to the First Amendment Effective Date, April 26, 2022, $20.0 million; (b) at all times during the period commencing on the First Amendment Effective Date through and including June 30, 2022, $15.0 million; and (c) at all times on and after July 1, 2022, through September 30, 2022, $17.5 million; provided, however, that if the Total Net Leverage Ratio exceeded 1.75:1.00 as of the last day of the most recently ended month for which financial statements were required to have been delivered, then the amount set forth in this clause shall be increased to $20.0 million. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Applicable Minimum Cash Amount shall be reduced by $1.0 million for every $5.0 million principal prepayment or repayment of the Term Loans following the First Amendment Effective Date; provided however, that, the Applicable Minimum Cash Amount shall in no event be reduced below $15.0 million.

 

The 2021 BSP Term Loan Agreement contains events of default that are customary for a facility of this nature, including (subject in certain cases to grace periods and thresholds) nonpayment of principal, nonpayment of interest, fees or other amounts, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, violation of covenants, cross-default to certain other existing indebtedness, bankruptcy or insolvency events, certain judgment defaults and a change of control as specified in the 2021 BSP Term Loan Agreement. If an event of default occurs, the maturity of the amounts owed under the 2021 BSP Term Loan Agreement may be accelerated.

 

The obligations under the 2021 BSP Term Loan Agreement are guaranteed by the Company, the subsidiary borrowers thereunder and certain of the other existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, the subsidiary borrowers thereunder and such other subsidiary guarantors, in each case, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens and subject to the priority lien granted under the JPMorgan ABL Credit Agreement (see Note 6 – Credit Facility).

 

The agent and Sole Lead Arranger under the 2021 BSP Term Loan are affiliates of an affiliate of the Company, which affiliate, at the time of refinancing, owned common stock, and the 3.25% convertible senior notes due 2023 of the Company as well as the Company’s outstanding Series A Preferred Stock (see Note 16 – Related Party Transactions).

 

The fair value of the Company’s 2021 BSP Term Loan is considered Level 3 fair value (see Note 15 – Fair Value Measurements for further discussion of the fair value hierarchy) and are measured using the discounted future cash flow method. In addition to the debt terms, the valuation methodology includes an assumption of a discount rate that approximates the current yield on a debt security with comparable risk. This assumption is considered an unobservable input in that it reflects the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company believes that this is the best information available for use in the fair value measurement. The estimated fair value of the 2021 BSP Term Loan was $69.3 million as of December 31, 2022 compared to a carrying value of $68.9 million as of December 31, 2022.

 

On June 27, 2022, as permitted by the terms within the 2021 BSP Term Loan Agreement, the Company made a voluntary fee-free $10.0 million prepayment towards the outstanding principal amount of the 2021 BSP Term Loan.

 

On September 28, 2022, as permitted by the terms within the 2021 BSP Term Loan Agreement, the Company made a voluntary $17.5 million prepayment towards the outstanding principal amount of the 2021 BSP Term Loan and incurred a $0.5 million prepayment penalty.

 

On January 3, 2023, as permitted by the terms within the 2021 BSP Term Loan Agreement, the Company made a voluntary $15.0 million prepayment towards the outstanding principal amount of the 2021 BSP Term Loan and incurred a $0.2 million prepayment penalty.

 

On March 3, 2023, as required by the terms within the 2021 BSP Term Loan Agreement under the Excess Cash Flow (“ECF”) Sweep provision, the Company made a mandatory $23.1 million payment towards the outstanding principal amount of the 2021 BSP Term Loan.

 

On June 5, 2023, the Company paid in full the 2021 BSP Term Loan and terminated the 2021 BSP Term Loan Agreement by making a $30.2 million prepayment towards the outstanding principal amount. Additionally, the Company made a $0.4 million payment towards the outstanding accrued interest, and a $0.3 million payment for the prepayment penalty and other related fees. In connection with this transaction, the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $1.0 million on its condensed consolidated statements of operations.
