Credit Facility

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $17.3 million and $14.5 million of letters of credit were outstanding, respectively. Total unused credit availability under the Company’s senior secured term loan and senior secured revolver loan with sub-facilities for letters of credit, swing-line loans and senior secured multi-currency loans (the "Credit Facility") was $59.9 million and $45.9 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until December 17, 2026, at which time all outstanding balances of the Credit Facility must be repaid.

At the Company’s option, revolving loans and the term loans accrue interest at a per annum rate based on either the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the Agent’s prime lending rate, (c) Daily Simple SOFR plus the Daily Simple SOFR Adjustment of 0.11448% plus 1.0%, or (d) 1.0%, plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75% depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (“Base Rate”), or (d) a one/three/six-month Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus the Term SOFR Adjustment ranging from 0.11% to 0.43% plus 1.75% to 2.75% depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio. Interest on swing line loans is the Base Rate.

Interest on Base Rate loans is payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter and at maturity. Interest on Term SOFR rate loans is payable on the last date of each applicable Interest Period (as defined in the agreement), but in no event less than once every three months and at maturity. The weighted average stated interest rate on outstanding borrowings was 2.87% and 2.54% at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company is required to maintain certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility). Through September 30, 2023, the maximum Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio is 3.75, after which time it will decrease to 3.50 until the end of the term of the Credit Facility.

The Company has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets to secure its obligations pursuant to the Credit Facility. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries and such guaranty obligations are secured by a security interest on substantially all the assets of such subsidiaries, including certain real property. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement may also be guaranteed by the Company’s material foreign subsidiaries to the extent no adverse tax consequences would result to the Company.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all related financial and other restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2022, $10.9 million was outstanding under the loan. Principal will be paid back to the lender monthly with final installment due by February 27, 2027.

As of March 31, 2022, the EFM JV was in compliance with all related financial and other restrictive covenants under this loan agreement. This loan balance does not impact the Company’s borrowing capacity or the financial covenants under the Credit Facility.
