Term Credit Agreement

    As of September 30, 2023, we had $156.7 million outstanding, net of unamortized discounts and unamortized deferred financing costs under our term credit agreement (“Term Credit Agreement”). The Term Credit Agreement requires us to offer to prepay up to 50% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Term Credit Agreement) from the most recent full fiscal year within five business days of filing our Annual Report. If our Leverage Ratio (as
defined in the Term Credit Agreement) at year-end is less than 2.00 to 1.00, the prepayment requirement is decreased to 25%. If our Leverage Ratio at year-end is less than 1.50 to 1.00, then no prepayment is required.

The Term Credit Agreement was amended in June 2023 to remove references to LIBOR and Eurodollar rates. Borrowings under the Term Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of TETRA, either (i) SOFR (subject to a 1% floor) plus a margin of 6.25% per annum or (ii) a base rate plus a margin of 5.25% per annum. As of September 30, 2023, the interest rate per annum on borrowings under the Term Credit Agreement is 11.68%. In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal under the Term Credit Agreement, TETRA is required to pay a commitment fee in respect of the unutilized commitments at the rate of 1.0% per annum, paid quarterly in arrears based on utilization of the commitments under the Term Credit Agreement.

    All obligations under the Term Credit Agreement and the guarantees of those obligations are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a security interest for the benefit of the Term Lenders on substantially all of the personal property of TETRA and certain of its subsidiaries, the equity interests in certain domestic subsidiaries, and a maximum of 65% of the equity interests in certain foreign subsidiaries.

ABL Credit Agreement

As of September 30, 2023, our asset-based credit agreement (“ABL Credit Agreement”) provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $80.0 million, with a $20.0 million accordion. The credit facility is subject to a borrowing base determined monthly by reference to the value of inventory and accounts receivable, and includes a sublimit of $20.0 million for letters of credit, a swingline loan sublimit of $11.5 million, and a $15.0 million sub-facility subject to a borrowing base consisting of certain trade receivables and inventory in the United Kingdom.

As of September 30, 2023, we had no balance outstanding and $11.5 million in letters of credit and guarantees under our ABL Credit Agreement. Subject to compliance with the covenants, borrowing base, and other provisions of the ABL Credit Agreement that may limit borrowings, we had availability of $68.5 million under this agreement.

The ABL Credit Agreement was amended in May 2023 to remove references to LIBOR. Borrowings under the ABL Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of TETRA, either (i) SOFR plus 0.10%, (ii) a base rate plus a margin based on a fixed charge coverage ratio, (iii) the Daily Simple Risk Free Rate plus 0.10%, or (iv) with respect to borrowings denominated in Sterling, the Daily Simple Risk Free Rate for Sterling plus 0.0326%. The base rate is determined by reference to the highest of (a) the prime rate of interest as announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) plus 0.5% per annum and (c) SOFR (adjusted to reflect any required bank reserves) for a one-month period on such day plus 1.0% per annum. In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal under the ABL Credit Agreement, TETRA is required to pay a commitment fee in respect of the unutilized commitments at an applicable rate ranging from 0.375% to 0.5% per annum, paid monthly in arrears based on utilization of the commitments under the ABL Credit Agreement. TETRA is also required to pay a customary letter of credit fee equal to the applicable margin on LIBOR-based loans and fronting fees.

     All obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement and the guarantees of those obligations are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a security interest for the benefit of the ABL Lenders on substantially all of the personal property of TETRA and certain subsidiaries of TETRA, the equity interests in certain domestic subsidiaries, and a maximum of 65% of the equity interests in certain foreign subsidiaries.

As of September 30, 2023, we had $1.9 million outstanding and availability of $0.1 million under the Argentina Credit Agreement. Borrowings bear interest at a rate of 2.50% per annum. The Argentina Credit Facility was backed by a letter of credit under our ABL Credit Agreement, and expired and was repaid in October 2023.

During each year, all outstanding loans under the Swedish Credit Facility must be repaid for at least 30 consecutive days. Borrowings bear interest at a rate of 2.95% per annum. The Swedish Credit Facility expires on December 31, 2023 and the Company intends to renew it annually.
