Borrowings as of October 6, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are summarized below (in thousands):
Credit Agreement
On March 4, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") by and among the Company, Red Robin International, Inc., as the borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto, the issuing banks from time to time party thereto, Fortress Credit Corp., as Administrative Agent and as Collateral Agent and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner. The five-year $240.0 million Credit Agreement provides for a $40.0 million revolving line of credit and a $200.0 million term loan (collectively, the "Credit Facility"). The borrower maintains the option to increase the Credit Facility in the future, subject to lenders’ participation, by up to an additional $40.0 million in the aggregate on the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Facility will mature on March 4, 2027. No amortization is required with respect to the revolving line of credit. The term loans require quarterly principal payments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount of the term loan. Quarterly principal payments are no longer required as a result of the debt repayments from the proceeds of the sale-leaseback transactions. The Credit Agreement's interest rate references the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), a new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements and backed by U.S. Treasury securities, or the Alternate Base Rate, which represents the highest of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% per annum, or (c) one-month term SOFR plus 1.0% per annum.
As of October 6, 2024, the Company had outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility of $180.7 million, including $20.0 million drawn on its revolving line of credit. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility of $182.6 million, with no amounts drawn on its revolving line of credit. In addition, the Company had amounts issued under letters of credit of $8.1 million and $7.7 million as of October 6, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Red Robin International, Inc., is the borrower under the Credit Agreement, and certain of its subsidiaries and the Company are guarantors of the borrower’s obligations under the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the borrower and the guarantors, including the Company, and are available to: (i) refinance certain existing indebtedness of the borrower and its subsidiaries, (ii) pay any fees and expenses in connection with the Credit Agreement, and (iii) provide for the working capital and general corporate requirements of the Company, the borrower and its subsidiaries, including permitted acquisitions and capital expenditures, but excluding restricted payments.
On March 4, 2022, Red Robin International, Inc., the Company, and the guarantors also entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) granting to the Administrative Agent a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the borrower and the guarantors to secure the obligations under the Credit Agreement.
Red Robin International, Inc. as the borrower is obligated to pay customary fees to the agents, lenders and issuing banks under the Credit Agreement with respect to providing, maintaining, or administering, as applicable, the credit facilities.
On July 17, 2023, the Company amended the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) to, among other things, remove the previously included $50.0 million aggregate cap on sale-leasebacks of Company-owned real property that are permitted under the Credit Agreement, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement.
On August 21, 2024, the Company entered into the second amendment to our Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment, among other things, provides certain relief from the financial covenant by increasing the required maximum net total leverage ratio beginning in the third quarter of 2024 through the end of the third quarter of 2025; increases the aggregate revolving commitments by $15.0 million to $40.0 million through the end of the third quarter of 2025; removes the variable pricing grid and increases the applicable margin on all term loans and revolving loans that are SOFR-based loans to 7.50% per annum and that are ABR-based loans to 6.50% per annum; and adds certain additional reporting requirements.
In conjunction with the execution of the Second Amendment, the Company paid certain customary amendment fees to the lenders under the credit facility totaling approximately $2.9 million. The Company performed an analysis of the Second Amendment under ASC Topic 470, Debt, and determined that debt modification accounting was appropriate for our term loan and revolving line of credit due to the change in total capacity and the increase in applicable margin interest rates under the new amendment. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company capitalized $2.7 million of the amendment fees as deferred loan fees which will be amortized over the remaining term of the Credit Facility, and expensed the remaining $0.2 million of fees.
The summary descriptions of the Credit Agreement, the Security Agreement, the First Amendment, and the Second Amendment, do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of each agreement, each of which was filed February 28, 2024, as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K, except for the Second Amendment which was filed August 22, 2024 as an exhibit to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended July 14, 2024. On November 4, 2024, the Company entered into the third amendment to our Credit Agreement (the "Third Amendment"). See Note 9. Subsequent Event
