Third Amendment to Credit Agreement
In response to the continued uncertainty around the impact of industry labor and supply chain challenges as well as the COVID-19 Delta variant, the Company amended its current credit facility on November 9, 2021 (the "Third Amendment") to obtain additional flexibility to continue to implement our business strategy. The Company anticipates refinancing its Credit Facility in 2022. The Third Amendment further amends the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the "Credit Facility") to, among other things:
waive the application of the lease adjusted leverage ratio financial covenant (the "Leverage Ratio Covenant") for the third fiscal quarter of 2021
increase the maximum leverage permitted for purposes of the Leverage Ratio Covenant for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2021 and the first, second and third fiscal quarters of 2022, with the definition of the Leverage Ratio Covenant also being amended to provide that it shall not be calculated on a basis that gives effect to a seasonally adjusted annualized consolidated EBITDA in future periods;
decrease the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio required for purposes of the fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant (the “FCCR Covenant”) for the first fiscal quarter of 2022, with the definition of the FCCR Covenant also being amended to account for cash tax refunds received in any future period and certain capital expenditures constituting "Expansion Capital Expenditures" being excluded from the calculation thereof;
decrease the minimum liquidity required for purposes of the minimum liquidity covenant and provide for the testing of such minimum liquidity covenant at all times;
make certain amendments to the Credit Facility to (i) provide that certain additional capital expenditures shall constitute "Expansion Capital Expenditures" and (ii) provide that "Expansion Capital Expenditures" shall be permitted for all periods on or prior to the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Company ending on or about October 2, 2022, so long as (1) there is no default or event of default, (2) on a pro forma basis, Liquidity shall exceed a certain amount and (3) such "Expansion Capital Expenditures" do not exceed certain agreed amounts in each fiscal quarter (with carryforward of unused amounts to the immediately succeeding fiscal quarter), and, for all periods thereafter, so long as (1) there is no default or event of default, (2) on a pro forma basis, Liquidity shall exceed a certain amount and (3) on a pro forma basis, lease adjusted leverage ratio shall not exceed 5.00x;
increase the pricing under the Credit Facility for (a) the period from the Third Amendment Effective Date through the first interest determination date occurring after the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Company ending on or about April 17, 2022 to LIBOR (subject to a 1.00% floor) plus 6.00% and (b) periods thereafter to LIBOR (to which a 1.00% LIBOR floor shall apply) plus 6.50%;
provide that the previously agreed utilization fee of 0.75% per annum of the daily outstanding principal amount of term loans, revolving loans, swingline loans and letter of credit obligations under the Credit Facility shall be owing solely in respect of the period commencing on February 25, 2021 and ending on the Third Amendment Effective Date, with all such amounts payable on the Third Amendment Effective Date;
reduce the aggregate revolving commitment to $75,000,000 on the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Company ending on or about April 17, 2022;
amend the anti-cash hoarding provision to require revolver repayments (but with no associated permanent reduction in the revolving commitment) to the extent that the Company’s consolidated cash on hand exceeds $30,000,000 at any time;
revise the requirement that the annual audited financial statements be delivered without a "going concern qualification" to permit such a qualification solely relating to (i) any impending debt maturity (whether under the Credit Facility or otherwise) or (ii) any actual or prospective inability to satisfy a financial maintenance covenant; and
make certain amendments to the Credit Facility to address LIBOR transition matters.
The description above is a summary of the Third Amendment and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference. In conjunction with the Third Amendment, the Company paid certain customary amendment fees to the lenders under the Credit Facility totaling approximately $0.8 million, which will be capitalized as deferred loan fees and amortized over the remaining term of the Credit Facility.
