The Company has a revolving Credit Agreement with Bank of America and four other lenders which provides for a line of credit of up to $100.0 million, including a $35.0 million letter of credit subfacility, and a $35.0 million swingline subfacility. The facility contains customary terms and conditions, including restrictions on indebtedness, dividend payments, business combinations and other related items. The revolving credit facility includes a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company's

100% owned domestic subsidiaries whose assets equal substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of June 22, 2027.

The Credit Agreement contains three financial covenants. When RPC’s trailing four quarter EBITDA (as calculated under the Credit Agreement) is equal to or greater than $50.0 million: (i) the consolidated leverage ratio cannot exceed 2.50:1.00 and (ii) the debt service coverage ratio must be equal to or greater than 2.00:1.00; otherwise, the minimum tangible net worth must be greater than or equal to $400.0 million.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

Revolving loans under the amended revolving credit facility bear interest at one of the following two rates at the Company’s election:

● Term SOFR; plus, a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%, based on a quarterly consolidated leverage ratio calculation, and an additional SOFR Adjustment ranging from 0.10% to 0.30% depending upon maturity length; or

● the Base Rate, which is a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) Bank of America’s publicly announced, “prime rate,” (c) the Term SOFR plus 1.00%, or (d) 1.00%; in each case plus a margin that ranges from 0.25% to 1.25% based on a quarterly consolidated leverage ratio calculation.

In addition, the Company pays an annual fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.30%, based on a quarterly consolidated leverage ratio calculation, on the unused portion of the credit facility.

The Company has incurred total loan origination fees and other debt related costs associated with this revolving credit facility in the aggregate of approximately $3.7 million. These costs are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the loan, and the remaining unamortized balance of approximately $250 thousand at March 31, 2024 is classified as part of non-current Other assets.

As of March 31, 2024, RPC had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, and letters of credit outstanding relating to self-insurance programs and contract bids totaled $16.6 million; therefore, a total of $83.4 million of the facility was available.
