In November 2022, the Company amended its floorplan facility with Ally Bank and Ally Financial (the “2022 Vehicle Floorplan Facility”). The 2022 Vehicle Floorplan Facility provides a committed credit line of up to $500.0 million which is scheduled to mature on March 31, 2024.

The amount of credit available to the Company on a monthly basis equals the product of (1) the greater of five times the aggregate number of retail units sold during the most recent month for which information is available or the aggregate number of retail units sold during the five most recent months for which information is available and (2) the greater of the average outstanding floorplan balance of all vehicles on the floorplan as of the immediately preceding month-end or the average monthly outstanding floorplan balance of all vehicles on the floorplan as of month-end for the immediately preceding five months. As of December 31, 2023, the borrowing capacity of the 2022 Vehicle Floorplan Facility was $253.6 million, of which $102.4 million was unutilized. As of December 31, 2022, the borrowing capacity of the 2022 Vehicle Floorplan Facility was $343.9 million, of which $66.9 million was unutilized.

Additionally, the Company may elect to increase its monthly credit line availability by an additional $25.0 million during any four months in the period from November 1, 2022 through March 31, 2024, subject to the maximum $500.0 million credit limit. The 2022 Vehicle Floorplan Facility allows for more flexibility in the Company's borrowing capacity. Consistent with the terms of the 2020 Vehicle Floorplan Facility, the Company and Vroom Automotive, LLC have provided Ally with a guaranty of payment of all amounts owed under the 2022 Vehicle Floorplan Facility as well as a security interest in all or substantially all tangible, intangible, and other personal property of Vroom, Inc., to secure obligations under the 2022 Vehicle Floorplan Facility.

The 2022 Vehicle Floorplan Facility bears interest at a rate equal to the Prime Rate, announced per annum by Ally Bank, plus 175 basis points. Additionally, the Company is subject to amended covenants and events of default. The Company is required to maintain a certain level of equity in the vehicles that are financed, to maintain at least 20.0% of the credit line in cash and cash equivalents, and to maintain a minimum required balance with Ally of at least 15.0% of the daily floorplan principal balance outstanding. The Company was required to pay a commitment fee upon execution of the 2022 Vehicle Floorplan Facility.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, outstanding borrowings on the vehicle floorplan facilities were $151.2 million and $277.0 million, respectively. Cash deposits required under the vehicle floorplan facilities of $22.7 million and $34.6 million are classified as "Restricted cash" within the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Interest expense incurred by the Company for the vehicle floorplan facilities was $19.5 million and $26.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which are recorded within “Interest expense” in the consolidated statements of operations.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the vehicle floorplan facilities.

In connection with the vehicle floorplan facilities, the Company entered into credit balance agreements with Ally Bank and Ally Financial that permit the Company to deposit cash with the bank for the purpose of reducing the amount of interest payable for borrowings. Interest credits earned by the Company were $13.2 million and $15.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which are recorded within “Interest income” in the consolidated statements of operations.

On January 19, 2024, the Company amended its 2022 Vehicle Floorplan Facility. As a result of the amendment, borrowings under the 2022 Vehicle Floorplan Facility were suspended for future vehicle purchases and the Company was required to maintain 40% of its outstanding borrowings in cash. In addition, all other financial covenants were eliminated. As a result of the liquidation of the Company's vehicle inventory, the Company repaid the remaining outstanding balance related to the 2022 Vehicle Floorplan Facility in full and the agreement has been terminated.
