The 2021 Credit Agreement was amended on March 3, 2023.

(2)

The Amended 2021 Credit Agreement matures on February 8, 2026, unless the Debentures are outstanding six months prior to the December 19, 2024 maturity date thereof, in which case the Amended 2021 Credit Agreement matures on June 19, 2024.

On February 8, 2021, certain subsidiaries of the Company, or the Loan Parties, entered into a new secured credit agreement, or the 2021 Credit Agreement. Proceeds were used to pay in full all outstanding loans and terminate all lending commitments under the previously outstanding 2016 Credit Agreement.

On March 3, 2023, the Loan Parties entered into the First Amendment to the 2021 Credit Agreement. The First Amendment to the 2021 Credit Agreement provides for the revision of the benchmark interest rate from LIBOR to the secured overnight financing rate, (“SOFR”). At March 31, 2023, all outstanding indebtedness under the Amended 2021 Credit Agreement automatically converted from a LIBOR based loan to the new SOFR based loan at the end of the then-current applicable Interest Period. Additionally, the First Amendment to the 2021 Credit Agreement provides for the addition of the Term SOFR Adjustment of 0.10%, based on the term of the applicable Interest Period, to be added to the Applicable Rate for both SOFR Loans and Base Rate Loans (capitalized terms as defined in the Amended 2021 Credit Agreement).

The Amended 2021 Credit Agreement provides for (i) initial term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $300 million, or the Initial Term Loans, (ii) delayed draw term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $50 million, or the Delayed Draw Term Loans, and (iii) revolving credit loans in an aggregate principal amount of $40 million, with a letter of credit sublimit of $10 million, or the Revolving Credit Loans. The Delayed Draw Term Loans were available to the Loan Parties at any time prior to February 8, 2023, subject to certain conditions. As of March 31, 2023, there were no outstanding Delayed Draw Term Loans.

The Initial Term Loans bear, and while they were available, the Delayed Draw Term Loans bore, interest, at the Loan Parties’ option, at the rate of (x) with respect to SOFR Rate Loans, the Adjusted SOFR Rate with a 1.00% floor, plus 6.50% per annum, plus the Term SOFR Adjustment of 0.10% or (y) with respect to Base Rate Loans, the Base Rate plus 5.50% per annum, plus the Term SOFR Adjustment of 0.10%.

The Revolving Credit Loans bear interest, at our option, at the rate of (x) with respect to SOFR Rate Loans, the Adjusted SOFR Rate plus 4.00% per annum, or (y) with respect to Base Rate Loans, the Base Rate plus 3.00% per annum. The Initial Term Loans amortize at a rate of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of Initial Term Loans outstanding, payable in consecutive quarterly installments of $0.8 million, beginning on June 30, 2021. On March 31, 2023, the balance due was $294.0 million with an interest rate of 4.89833% plus an Adjusted Term SOFR Rate of 6.60%.

The Initial Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans are each scheduled to mature on February 8, 2026, unless the Debentures are outstanding six months prior to the December 19, 2024 maturity date thereof, in which case the Amended 2021 Credit Agreement matures on June 19, 2024. The Initial Term Loans may be voluntarily repaid at any time, but may be subject to a prepayment premium. The Initial Term Loans are required to be repaid under certain circumstances, including with Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Amended 2021 Credit Agreement), the proceeds of an Asset Sale or Casualty Event (each as defined in the Amended 2021 Credit Agreement) and the proceeds of certain refinancing indebtedness.

The obligations under the Amended 2021 Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Loan Parties’ assets. The Amended 2021 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants as well as a financial maintenance covenant that requires the Loan Parties to maintain a First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended 2021 Credit Agreement) of less than or equal to 7.00 to 1.00, tested at the end of each fiscal quarter. The Company was in compliance with all Amended 2021 Credit Agreement covenants as of March 31, 2023.

The Company incurred closing fees of $8.0 million in connection with the original entry into the 2021 Credit Agreement. These fees will be amortized over the full term of the Amended 2021 Credit Agreement.

The Amended 2021 Credit Agreement also provides for an unfunded revolver commitment for borrowing up to $40.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Loans”). As of March 31, 2023, there was $39.4 million available capacity for borrowing under the revolving loan commitment due to the $0.6 million of letters of credit outstanding (See Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies).

On December 19, 2019, the Company issued Convertible Debentures, which mature in 2024, in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million (the “Debentures” or the “Convertible Debentures”). At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the balance due under the Convertible Debentures was $247.3 million and $244.8 million, respectively.

The Debentures will mature on December 19, 2024 unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased, and bear interest at an annual rate of 4.00% in cash, payable quarterly, and 4.00% in kind, accrued quarterly, on the last business day of March, June, September and December. In addition, on each anniversary of December 19, 2019 (the "Closing Date"), the Company will increase the principal amount of the Debentures by an amount equal to 3.00% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Debentures outstanding (subject to reduction for any principal amount repaid). The additional payment will accrue from the last payment date for the additional payment (or the Closing Date if no prior payment has been made), and will also be payable at maturity, upon conversion and upon an optional redemption.

At any time, upon notice as set forth in the Debentures, the Debentures will be redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

The Debentures are convertible into shares of common stock at the option of the Debenture holders at any time and from time to time at a price of $18 per share, subject to certain adjustments. However, in the event the Company elects to redeem any Debentures, the holders have a right to purchase common stock from the Company in an amount equal to the amount redeemed at the conversion price.

The Debentures contain covenants that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) create liens on assets; (iii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; or (iv) designate the Company’s subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The Debentures provide for customary events of default, including non-payment, failure to comply with covenants or other agreements in the Debentures and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. If an event of default occurs and continues, the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debentures may declare the entire principal amount of all the Debentures to be due and payable immediately. As of March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all Debenture covenants.
