Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility

On December 29, 2017, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "Prior Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. The Prior Credit Agreement provided for a $100 million revolving loan facility with a $25 million sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit, a $250 million initial term loan facility and a $250 million delayed draw term loan facility. The Company borrowed the entire $250 million under the initial term loan facility, the entire $250 million under the delayed draw term loan facility and approximately $50 million under the revolving loan facility in connection with the acquisition of RSI Home Products, Inc. ("RSI") and the refinancing of certain senior notes assumed from RSI (the "RSI Notes"). The facilities under the Prior Credit Agreement were scheduled to mature on December 29, 2022.

On April 22, 2021, the Company amended and restated the Prior Credit Agreement and on January 17, 2023 the Company entered into an amendment of such agreement to transition the applicable interest rate from LIBOR to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), effective January 31, 2023. The amended and restated credit agreement (the "A&R Credit Agreement") provides for a $500 million revolving loan facility with a $50 million sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit (the "Revolving Facility") and a $250 million term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility"). Also on April 22, 2021, the Company borrowed the entire $250 million under the Term Loan Facility and approximately $264 million under the Revolving Facility to fund, in part, the repayment in full of the amounts then outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement and the redemption of $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2026 (the Senior Notes). The Company is required to repay the Term Loan Facility in specified quarterly installments, which have been prepaid through April 30, 2025. The Revolving Facility and Term Loan Facility mature on April 22, 2026.

As of April 30, 2024, and 2023, $206.3 million was outstanding on the Term Loan Facility. As of April 30, 2024, and 2023, $163.8 million was outstanding under the Revolving Facility. Outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Facility were
$13.3 million as of April 30, 2024, leaving approximately $322.9 million in available capacity under the Revolving Facility as of April 30, 2024. Outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Facility were $13.0 million, as of April 30, 2023, leaving approximately $323.2 million in available capacity under the Revolving Facility as of April 30, 2023. The outstanding balances noted above approximate fair value as the facilities have a floating interest rate.

Amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Facility bear interest based on a fluctuating rate measured by reference to either, at the Company's option, a base rate plus an applicable margin or SOFR plus 10 basis points plus an applicable margin, with the applicable margin being determined by reference to the Company's then-current "Secured Net Leverage Ratio." The Company also incurs a quarterly commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Facility during the applicable quarter at a rate per annum also determined by reference to the Company's then-current "Secured Net Leverage Ratio." In addition, a letter of credit fee accrues on the face amount of any outstanding letters of credit at a per annum rate equal to the applicable margin on SOFR loans, payable quarterly in arrears. As of April 30, 2024, the applicable margin with respect to base rate loans and SOFR loans was 0.00% and 1.00%, respectively, and the commitment fee was 0.10%.

The A&R Credit Agreement includes certain financial covenants that require the Company to maintain (i) a "Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio" of no less than 2.00 to 1.00 and (ii) a "Total Net Leverage Ratio" of no greater than 4.00 to 1.00, subject, in each case, to certain limited exceptions.

The A&R Credit Agreement includes certain additional covenants, including negative covenants that restrict the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, create additional liens on its assets, make certain investments, dispose of its assets, or engage in a merger or other similar transaction or engage in transactions with affiliates, subject, in each case, to the various exceptions and conditions described in the A&R Credit Agreement. The negative covenants further restrict the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to make certain restricted payments, including, in the case of the Company, the payment of dividends and the repurchase of common stock, in certain limited circumstances.

As of April 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants included in the A&R Credit Agreement.

The Company's obligations under the A&R Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company's domestic subsidiaries and the obligations of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries under the A&R Credit Agreement and their guarantees, respectively, are secured by a pledge of substantially all of their respective personal property.

Financing Lease Obligations

The Company has various financing leases with interest rates between 2.0% and 6.9%. The leases require monthly payments and expire by September 30, 2028. The outstanding amounts owed as of April 30, 2024, and 2023, were $5.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

Other Long-term Debt

On January 25, 2016, the Company entered into a New Markets Tax Credit ("NMTC") financing agreement to finance working capital and capital improvements at its Monticello, Kentucky facility. This agreement was structured with unrelated third party financial institutions (the "Investors"), their wholly-owned investment funds ("Investment Funds") and certain community development entities ("CDEs") in connection with our participation in qualified transactions under the NMTC program. In exchange for substantially all of the benefits derived from the tax credits, the Investors made a contribution of $2.3 million, net of syndication fees, to the Investment Funds. Simultaneously, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company made a $4.3 million loan to the Investment Funds. The Investment Funds used the proceeds of such equity and debt investments to acquire equity interests in the CDEs, which the CDEs in turn used to make loans to the Company aggregating $6.6 million for the project. These loans have a term of 30 years with an aggregate interest rate of approximately 1.2%. The original terms of the transaction included Investor put options, exercisable after seven years, which, if exercised by the Investors, would require the Company to purchase the Investors’ interests in the Investment Funds. The Investors’ exercised such put options in February 2023 and the Company repurchased their interests in the Investment Funds in February 2023. As a result of the exercised put option, the Company recognized a reduction of long-term debt of $6.6 million, a reduction of loan receivable of $4.3 million and a gain on debt modification of $2.1 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.2 million.

On March 8, 2022, the Company entered into a $0.4 million loan agreement with the West Virginia Water Development Authority acting on behalf of the West Virginia Infrastructure and Jobs Development Council and the Hardy County Rural Development Authority as part of the Company's capital improvements at the South Branch Primewood facility located in Hardy County, West Virginia. The loan agreement expires on March 8, 2025 and bears no interest rate. The loan agreement is
secured by a sole first lien on the real property and fixtures associated with the facility. It defers principal and interest during the term of the obligation and forgives any outstanding balance at March 8, 2025, if the Company complies with certain employment levels at the facility.
Certain of the Company's loan agreements limit the amount and type of indebtedness the Company can incur and require the Company to maintain specified financial ratios measured on a quarterly basis. In addition to the assets previously discussed, certain of the Company's property, plant and equipment are pledged as collateral under certain loan agreements and the capital lease arrangements. The Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in its loan agreements and financing leases at April 30, 2024.
