Line of Credit Facility [Abstract] |
Credit Facility | 5. Credit Facility Wells Fargo Credit Facility On November 5, 2021, NFI and Nicholas Data Services, Inc., a Florida corporation (“NDS” and collectively with NFI, the “Borrowers”), two wholly-owned subsidiaries of Nicholas Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) pursuant to a loan and security agreement by and among the Borrowers, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as agent, and the lenders that are party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”). The prior credit facility (the "Ares Credit Facility") pursuant to a credit agreement among the Company’s subsidiary NF Funding I, LLC, Ares Agent Services, L.P. and the lenders party thereto was paid off in connection with entering into the Credit Facility. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the lenders agreed to extend to the Borrowers a line of credit of up to $175,000,000. The availability of funds under the Credit Facility is generally limited to an advance rate of between 80% and 85% of the value of eligible receivables, and outstanding advances under the Credit Facility will accrue interest at a rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 2.25%. The commitment period for advances under the Credit Facility is three years (the expiration of that time period, the “Maturity Date”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Borrowers granted a security interest in substantially all of their assets as collateral for their obligations under the Credit Facility. Furthermore, pursuant to a separate collateral pledge agreement, NDS pledged its equity interest in NFI as additional collateral. The Credit Agreement and the other loan documents contain customary events of default and negative covenants, including but not limited to those governing indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, investments, and sales of assets. If an event of default occurs, the lenders could increase borrowing costs, restrict the Borrowers’ ability to obtain additional advances under the Credit Facility, accelerate all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility, enforce their interest against collateral pledged under the Credit Facility or enforce such other rights and remedies as they have under the loan documents or applicable law as secured lenders. If the lenders terminate the Credit Facility following the occurrence of an event of default under the loan documents, or the Borrowers prepay the loan and terminate the Credit Facility prior to the Maturity Date, then the Borrowers are obligated to pay a termination or prepayment fee in an amount equal to a percentage of $175,000,000, calculated as 2% if the termination or prepayment occurs during year one, 1% if the termination or repayment occurs during year two, and 0.5% if the termination or prepayment occurs thereafter. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had aggregate outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility of $55.0 million, compared to $88.3 million outstanding under the Ares Credit Facility as of March 31, 2021. Future maturities of principal outstanding for the credit facility and note payable as of December 31, 2021 were as follows:
(in thousands) |  |  |
FY2022 |  |  |  | $ | 405 |
FY2023 |  |  |  |  | 2,839 |
FY2024 |  |  |  |  | — |
FY2025 |  |  |  |  | 55,000 |
|  |  |  | $ | 58,244 |
In connection with the refinancing and as required under GAAP, in the third quarter of the fiscal year 2022 the Company recognized approximately $1.9 million of additional interest expense related to previously incurred but unamortized debt issuance costs on the extinguishment of the Ares credit facility.
