NOTE 15—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Shortly after the balance sheet date, the Company repaid $20 million of the $25 million of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility using funds from current operations. At a later date, on February 15, 2023, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement, which includes multiple lending parties and provides additional borrowing capacity compared to the facility utilized in 2022. The new facility, which has a maturity date of February 15, 2026, provides an initial aggregate revolving commitment of $125.0 million as well as an accordion feature of $50 million subject to certain terms and conditions, including lender’s consent. The aggregate revolving commitment had a borrowing base of $66.3 million at the closing date of the new facility after consideration of collateral and reserve requirements. The Company utilized the new facility to borrow an additional $20 million and used $10 million of the proceeds to pay down related-party debt associated with the acquisition of Ramaco Coal. The remaining availability under the new facility was $41.3 million at the closing date after outstanding borrowings of $25.0 million.

Revolving loans under the new facility bear interest at either the base rate plus 1.50% or the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 2.00%. The base rate equals the highest of the administrative agent’s prime rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5%, or 3%.

The terms of the new facility include covenants limiting the ability of the Company to incur additional indebtedness, make investments or loans, incur liens, consummate mergers and similar fundamental changes, make restricted payments, and enter into transactions with affiliates. The terms of the new facility also contain a financial covenant that requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.10:1.00 calculated as of the last day of each fiscal quarter starting with the first quarter of 2023. The new facility also contains certain compensating balance requirements, which include that the Company maintain an average daily cash balance of $5 million, as determined on a monthly basis, to assure future credit availability.
