Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement

 

On June 15, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a first amendment (the “Amendment”) to its existing Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated as of February 5, 2021 (the “Existing Loan Agreement”), with Toronto Dominion (Texas) LLC as administrative agent and certain lenders signatory thereto.

 

The Amendment provides for the following changes to the Existing Loan Agreement: (i) the revolving credit facility has been increased to an aggregate principal amount of up to $125 million; and (ii) the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) has replaced the LIBOR interest rate benchmark for all loans outstanding under the Existing Loan Agreement, as amended, provided that any LIBOR loans outstanding (“Existing LIBOR Loans”) as of the Amendment date shall continue to the end of the applicable interest period for such Existing LIBOR Loans and the provisions of the Existing Loan Agreement applicable thereto shall continue and remain in effect until the end of the applicable interest period for such Existing LIBOR Loans, after which such provisions shall have no further force or effect. Outstanding loans under the Existing Loan Agreement (including Existing LIBOR Loans for which the applicable interest period has ended), as amended, will bear interest at a per annum rate elected by the borrower that is equal to (i) term SOFR plus 0.10%, 0.15% or 0.25% in case of, respectively, a one-month, two-month or three-month interest period (“Adjusted Term SOFR”) or (ii) an alternate base rate (which is equal to the greatest of the prime rate, the Federal Funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and one-month Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.0%), in each case plus the applicable margin.

 

Except as stated above, the Amendment does not result in any other substantive changes to the Existing Loan Agreement, including without limitation changes in the credit facilities, interest rate margin applicable to the loans, guarantees, collateral, prepayment requirements, covenants, representations and warranties or events of default under the Existing Loan Agreement.

 

The foregoing summary of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated into this Item 2.03 by reference.

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On June 17, 2022, the Company issued a press release announcing the execution of the Amendment. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to liabilities under that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings.
