Amended Credit Agreement

On December 14, 2018, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries refinanced its existing credit facility with JPMorgan Chase, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A., and other bank lenders (as amended, the "Amended Credit Agreement"). The Amended Credit Agreement amended and restated an existing credit agreement dated April 27, 2016 to, among other things, extend the maturity date to December 14, 2023, increase the revolving credit facility from $325.0 million to $600.0 million (of which $50.0 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit (the "LC Facility")) and permit the Company to borrow up to $250.0 million in approved foreign currencies, including Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, pounds sterling, and euros (the "Foreign Sublimit").

On December 19, 2019, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an Incremental Joinder and Amendment No. 1 of the Amended Credit Agreement to, among other things, provide an incremental term loan facility in the amount of $300.0 million (the "Initial Term Loan"), which the Company borrowed in full to fund a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of the CURT group of entities, and to further allow the Company to request an increase to the revolving and/or incremental term loan facility by up to an additional $300.0 million in the aggregate upon approval of the lenders providing the increase or incremental term loans and the Company receiving certain other consents (the "Accordion Option"). As a result of the addition of the Initial Term Loan, the total borrowing capacity under the Amended Credit Agreement was increased from $600.0 million to $900.0 million.

On May 7, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an Amendment No. 2 of the Amended Credit Agreement to, among other things, permit the issuance of the Convertible Notes and permit the entry into the related Convertible Note Hedge Transactions and Warrant transactions ("Warrant Transactions"). See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details of the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions and Warrant Transactions.

On September 7, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an Amendment No. 3 of the Amended Credit Agreement to, among other things, permit the Company to acquire the Furrion group of entities, to revise the benchmark replacement language relating to eurocurrency borrowings and to increase the Foreign Sublimit from $250.0 million to $400.0 million (of which $160.1 million, or €138.0 million, was drawn at December 31, 2021).

On December 7, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an Amendment No. 4 of the Amended Credit Agreement to, among other things, further extend the maturity date of the facility to December 7, 2026 and provide for new term loans to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million (the "New Term Loan"), which the Company borrowed in full to prepay in full the Initial Term Loan and fund operations, and increase the Accordion Option from $300.0 million to $400.0 million. The New Term Loan is required to be repaid in an amount equal to 1.25 percent of original principal amount of the New Term Loan for the first eight quarterly periods commencing with the quarter ended December 31, 2021, and then 1.875 percent of the original principal amount of New Term Loan for the next eight quarterly periods, and then 2.50 percent of the original principal amount of the New Term Loan of each additional payment until the extended maturity date. As a result of the New Term Loan, the total borrowing capacity under the Amended Credit Agreement was increased from $900.0 million to $1.0 billion.
Interest on borrowings under the revolving credit facility under the Amended Credit Agreement are designated from time to time by the Company as any of (i) the Alternate Base Rate (defined in the Amended Credit Agreement as the greatest of (a) the "Prime Rate" of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5 percent, and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) for a one month interest period plus 1.0 percent), plus additional interest ranging from 0.0 percent to 0.625 percent (0.375 percent was applicable at December 31, 2021) depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio, (ii) for any Term Benchmark Loan (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), the Adjusted LIBO Rate for borrowings in US Dollars, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate for borrowings in Euros, the CDOR for borrowings in Canadian Dollars or the AUD Rate for borrowings in Australian Dollars (each as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) for a period equal to one, two, three, or six months as selected by the Company, subject to certain limitations, plus additional interest ranging from 0.875 percent to 1.625 percent (1.375 percent was applicable at December 31, 2021) depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio, or (iii) for any RFR Loan (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), the Daily Simple RFR for borrowings in Pounds Sterling (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus additional interest ranging from 0.9076 percent to 1.6576 percent (1.4076 percent was applicable at December 31, 2021) depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. The New Term Loan was borrowed in U.S. Dollars and bears interest for other borrowings in U.S. Dollars as set forth above. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had $27.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively, in issued, but undrawn, standby letters of credit under the LC Facility. Availability under the Company’s revolving credit facility was $168.3 million at December 31, 2021. A commitment fee ranging from 0.150 percent to 0.225 percent (0.200 percent was applicable at December 31, 2021) depending on the Company's total net leverage ratio accrues on the actual daily amount that the revolving commitment exceeds the revolving credit exposure.

Shelf-Loan Facility

On February 24, 2014, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a $150.0 million shelf-loan facility (as amended and restated, the "Shelf-Loan Facility") with PGIM, Inc. (formerly Prudential Investment Management, Inc.) and its affiliates ("Prudential"). On March 20, 2015, the Company issued $50.0 million of Senior Promissory Notes ("Series A Notes") to Prudential for a term of five years, at a fixed interest rate of 3.35 percent per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. On March 29, 2019, the Company issued $50.0 million of Series B Senior Notes (the "Series B Notes") to certain affiliates of Prudential for a term of three years, at a fixed interest rate of 3.80 percent per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, of which the entire amount was outstanding at December 31, 2021. The net proceeds of the Series B Notes were used to repay the Series A Notes. On November 11, 2019, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries amended and restated the Shelf-Loan Facility to provide for a new $200.0 million shelf facility pursuant to which the Series B Notes are currently outstanding and to conform certain covenants to the Amended Credit Agreement. The Series B Notes are due March 29, 2022, and the Shelf-Loan Facility expires on November 11, 2022.

On March 31, 2020, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Consent and Amendment to the Shelf-Loan Facility to join certain Company subsidiaries that were acquired in the CURT acquisition as guarantors and permit other internal restructuring matters related to certain of the Company's subsidiaries. On September 21, 2020, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Second Amendment to the Shelf-Loan Facility to conform additional covenants to the Amended Credit Agreement. On May 7, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Third Amendment to the Shelf-Loan Facility to permit the issuance of the Convertible Notes and permit the entry into the related Convertible Note Hedge Transactions and Warrant Transactions. On September 7, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Shelf-Loan Facility to permit the Company to, among other things, acquire the Furrion group of entities.

The Shelf-Loan Facility provides for Prudential to consider purchasing, at the Company’s request, in one or a series of transactions, additional Senior Promissory Notes of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million (excluding the Company's Series B Notes already outstanding). Prudential has no obligation to purchase the Senior Promissory Notes. Interest payable on the Senior Promissory Notes will be at rates determined by Prudential within five business days after the Company issues a request to Prudential.

Convertible Notes

On May 13, 2021, the Company issued $460.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.125 percent convertible senior notes due 2026 in a private placement to certain qualified institutional buyers, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $447.8 million after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and offering expenses payable by the Company. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a coupon rate of 1.125 percent per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2021. The Convertible Notes will mature on May 15,
2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased, in accordance with their terms. No sinking fund is provided for the Convertible Notes. There are no registration rights associated with the Convertible Notes or the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes.

The initial conversion rate of the Convertible Notes is 6.0369 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes, which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $165.65 per share of the Company's common stock. The conversion rate of the Convertible Notes is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events but will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest on any Convertible Note being converted, except in limited circumstances. As of December 31, 2021, the conversion rate was 6.0553 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes. In addition, upon the occurrence of a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes (the "Indenture")) or upon a notice of redemption, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its Convertible Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change or notice of redemption, as the case may be.

Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 15, 2026, the Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holders only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2021 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price (as defined in the Indenture) per share of the Company's common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130 percent of the conversion price for the Convertible Notes on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the "measurement period") in which the trading price (as defined in the Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98 percent of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls such Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but only with respect to the Convertible Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate events described in the Indenture. On or after January 15, 2026, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion the Company will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company's common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, at the Company's election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company's conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being converted.

The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to May 20, 2024. On or after May 20, 2024, the Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Convertible Notes, at the Company's option, if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock has been at least 130 percent of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), subject to certain conditions, holders of the Convertible Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Convertible Notes in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof at a repurchase price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Convertible Notes to, but not including, the fundamental change repurchase date (as defined in the Indenture).

The Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company's indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Convertible Notes, equal in right of payment with all the Company's liabilities that are not so subordinated, effectively junior to any of the Company's secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries. The Indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including that upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, either the named trustee or the holders of at least 25 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Convertible Notes may declare 100 percent of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the outstanding Convertible Notes to be due and payable.

The Convertible Notes are not registered securities nor listed on any securities exchange but may be actively traded by qualified institutional buyers. The fair value of the Convertible Notes of $506.0 million at December 31, 2021 was estimated using Level 1 inputs, as it is based on quoted prices for these instruments in active markets.
General

At December 31, 2021, the fair value of the Company's long-term debt under the Amended Credit Agreement and the Shelf-Loan Facility approximates the carrying value, as estimated using quoted market prices and discounted future cash flows based on similar borrowing arrangements.

Borrowings under both the Amended Credit Agreement and the Shelf-Loan Facility are secured on a pari-passu basis by first priority liens on the capital stock or other equity interests of certain of the Company's direct and indirect subsidiaries (including up to 65 percent of the equity interests of certain "controlled foreign corporations").

Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement and Shelf-Loan Facility, the Company shall not permit its net leverage ratio to exceed certain limits, shall maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio, and must meet certain other financial requirements. At each of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company was in compliance with all such requirements and expects to remain in such compliance for the next twelve months.

The Amended Credit Agreement and the Shelf-Loan Facility include a maximum net leverage ratio covenant which limits the amount of consolidated outstanding indebtedness that the Company may incur on a trailing twelve-month EBITDA, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement and the Shelf-Loan Facility. This limitation did not impact the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness under its revolving credit facility at December 31, 2021. The combined remaining availability under the revolving credit facility and the potential additional notes issuable under the Shelf-Loan Facility was $318.3 million at December 31, 2021. The Company believes the availability of $168.3 million under the revolving credit facility under the Amended Credit Agreement, along with its cash flows from operations, are adequate to finance the Company's anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months.
