Item 1.01.Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 28, 2022, (the “Effective Date”), Unifi Manufacturing, Inc., a beneficially owned subsidiary of Unifi, Inc. (the “Company”), and certain of its domestic affiliates (collectively, the “Borrowers”), as borrowers, entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) for a $230.0 million senior secured credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as administrative agent, sole lead arranger and sole book runner, and Wells Fargo; Bank of America, N.A; and First National Bank, as lenders.  The ABL Facility consists of a $115.0 million revolving credit facility (the “ABL Revolver”) and a $115.0 million term loan (the “ABL Term Loan”).  The ABL Facility has a maturity date of October 28, 2027.  The Credit Agreement amended and restated the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 26, 2015, by and among the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries, as borrowers; Wells Fargo, as administrative agent, sole lead arranger, and sole book runner; and the lenders party thereto, as amended.  Certain capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

 

Each wholly owned domestic subsidiary of the Company, other than any Excluded Subsidiary (together with the Borrowers, the “Loan Parties”), is a guarantor of the ABL Facility.  In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Loan Parties entered into, among other ancillary documents, a Second Amended and Restated Guaranty and Security Agreement and a Fifth Amended and Restated Term Note (collectively with the Credit Agreement, the “ABL Facility Documents”).

 

Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at rates per annum of either the Base Rate (as defined below) plus an Applicable Margin of 0.25% to 0.75% or, if elected by the Borrowers, Adjusted Term SOFR plus an Applicable Margin of 1.25% to 1.75%.  The “Base Rate” means the greatest of (i) the Floor, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, (iii) Adjusted Term SOFR for a one-month tenor plus 1.0%, and (iv) the prime lending rate as publicly announced from time to time by Wells Fargo.  The “Adjusted Term SOFR” is available for interest periods of one month or three months.  The “Applicable Margin” is based on the average quarterly excess availability under the ABL Revolver and the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio.  The Applicable Unused Line Fee Percentage is 0.25%.

 

The maximum availability under the ABL Revolver at any one time (the “Maximum Revolver Amount”) is $115.0 million, subject to the Company’s ability to request increases thereto up to an additional $75.0 million.  However, aggregate borrowings under the ABL Revolver are limited to a “Borrowing Base” equal to (i) 85% of the amount of the Borrowers’ eligible accounts, plus (ii) the lesser of (a) $60.0 million and (b) the lesser of (x) 65% of eligible inventory and (y) 85% of the appraised Net Recovery Percentage multiplied by the lower of cost or market value of eligible finished goods inventory, eligible raw materials inventory, and eligible work in process inventory (subject to a $5.0 million limit for eligible work-in-process inventory), minus (iii) customary reserves as determined by Wells Fargo as administrative agent.  The Borrowing Base as of the Effective Date was approximately $81.9 million.

 

The ABL Facility contains a financial covenant that requires the Loan Parties to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio on a monthly basis of at least 1.05 to 1.00, in the event Excess Availability falls below the greater of (i) $17.5 million and (ii) 10% of the sum of (a) the Maximum Revolver Amount plus (b) the outstanding principal amount of the ABL Term Loan.  “Excess Availability” is defined as (x) the lesser of the Maximum Revolver Amount or the Borrowing Base availability, minus (y) the sum of (1) the outstanding balance of the ABL Revolver (including Letter of Credit usage) plus (2) the aggregate amount of all payables (other than payables that are being disputed in good faith by a Loan Party) aged in excess of the Borrowers’ past practice.  The Loan Parties had Excess Availability on the Effective Date of approximately $80.4 million.

 

The principal outstanding under the ABL Term Loan, which is currently $115.0 million, is repayable in quarterly installments of $2.3 million, commencing on February 1, 2023 and continuing on the first day of each May, August, November and February thereafter, with a final installment of all remaining unpaid principal (and all accrued and unpaid interest) being due on the maturity date (or an earlier date if the ABL Term Loan is accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default).  The ABL Term Loan may be prepaid at par, in whole or in part, before the maturity date at the Borrowers’ discretion.  

 

Mandatory prepayment of the ABL Facility is required upon the occurrence of certain events as specified in the Credit Agreement, including the receipt of proceeds upon certain dispositions of assets, in connection with certain other extraordinary receipts, upon incurrence of certain indebtedness, in connection with specified equity offerings, upon Revolver Usage exceeding the Borrowing Base, or when the values of certain assets fall below a threshold amount.

 

The ABL Facility is secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in (i) substantially all owned or hereafter acquired property and assets of the Loan Parties and all proceeds and products thereof, subject to permitted liens and customary exceptions, and (ii) all of the stock of (or other ownership interest in) each Loan Party (other than the Company) and certain subsidiaries of the Loan Parties.  However, only 65% of the stock of (or other ownership interest in) certain first tier controlled foreign subsidiaries, together with all proceeds and products thereof, are pledged to secure the ABL Facility, and such pledges are subject to exclusion by Wells Fargo as administrative agent.

 

The ABL Facility includes representations and warranties by the Loan Parties and their respective subsidiaries that are usual and customary for credit facilities of this type, including representations and warranties regarding: due organization and qualification; subsidiaries; due authorization; no conflict; governmental consents; binding obligations; perfected liens; title to assets; no encumbrances; litigation; compliance with laws; no material adverse effect; solvency; employee benefits; environmental condition; complete disclosure; the Patriot Act; indebtedness; payment of taxes; margin stock; governmental regulation; OFAC; sanctions; anti-corruption laws; anti-money laundering laws; employee and labor matters; excluded subsidiaries; leases; eligible accounts; eligible inventory; location of equipment and inventory; inventory records; and beneficial ownership certification.

 

The ABL Facility includes events of default that are usual and customary for credit facilities of this type, including: non-payment of obligations; non-performance of specified covenants and obligations; material judgments; bankruptcy or insolvency; default on other material debt obligations; material breach of any representation or warranty; limitation or termination of any guarantee with respect to the ABL Facility; impairment of security; and actual or asserted invalidity or unenforceability of any ABL Facility documentation or liens securing obligations under the ABL Facility documentation.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Loan Parties’ obligations under the ABL Facility could be accelerated.

 

The ABL Facility contains affirmative covenants applicable to the Loan Parties and their respective subsidiaries that are usual and customary for credit facilities of this type, including covenants regarding: financial statements, reports, and certificates; collateral reporting; existence; maintenance of properties; taxes; insurance; inspection; compliance with laws; environmental; disclosure updates; formation of subsidiaries; further assurances; lender meetings; location of equipment, inventory, and chief executive office; treasury management services; OFAC; sanctions; anti-corruption laws; and anti-money laundering laws.  In addition, the ABL Facility contains negative covenants regarding, among other provisions itemized in the Credit Agreement: the incurrence of certain indebtedness; the repayment of other indebtedness; liens; fundamental changes; disposal of assets; nature of business; specified amendments; restricted payments; accounting methods; transactions with affiliates; use of proceeds; and inventory with bailees.

 


 

In connection with the ABL Facility Documents, the Company paid the lenders an aggregate fee of $657,500.  Certain parties to the ABL Facility Documents and certain of their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing, and brokerage activities.  Certain parties to the ABL Facility Documents and certain of their respective affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, commercial and investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with the Company or its affiliates for which they have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions or other payments for these transactions.

 

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement and the Second Amended and Restated Guaranty and Security Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement and the Second Amended and Restated Guaranty and Security Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 4.2, respectively, hereto and are incorporated by reference herein.
