On December 19, 2024, Broadwind, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement dated as of August 4, 2022, by and among the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement and Limited Waiver dated February 8, 2023, the “Credit Agreement”). Among other changes, the Second Amendment (1) increased the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to $7.578 million and restarted the 84-month amortization period, and (2) amended the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) from 1.1:1.0 to 1.0:1.0 for each twelve-month period ending January 31, 2024 through and including December 31, 2025. Proceeds from the increased amount of the Term Loan were used to repay the Company’s indebtedness under its existing revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and related fees and expenses, thereby allowing for increased availability under the existing revolving line of credit.
