INDEBTEDNESS

INDEBTEDNESS

On November 1, 2021, we entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement with BMO Harris Bank N.A. ("BMO"). This agreement provides us with a senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Facility") consisting of a $350 million term loan B secured loan (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $35 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Loan Facility”) with an uncommitted option to increase incremental loans under the Credit Facility, subject to an incremental cap. The Revolving Loan Facility includes a $10 million letter of credit subfacility and $10 million swingline subfacility. Digi may use proceeds of the Revolving Loan Facility in the future for general corporate purposes. This loan replaced our syndicated senior secured credit agreement with BMO that was entered into on March 15, 2021 and replaced the remaining balance of our revolver with this new term loan. This prior agreement provided us with a committed credit facility ("Prior Credit Facility") consisting of a $200 million revolving loan.

On December 22, 2021, Digi entered into a third amended and restated credit agreement with BMO. Digi refinanced the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Loan Facility under its existing credit agreement entered into on November 1, 2021, but did not receive any additional proceeds from nor modify the amounts of any facilities or subfacilities contained within that credit agreement.

7. INDEBTEDNESS (CONTINUED)

Following the December amendment, borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR with a floor of 0.50% for an interest period of one, three or six months as selected by Digi, reset at the end of the selected interest period (or a replacement benchmark rate if LIBOR is no longer available) plus 5.00% or a base rate plus 4.00%. The base rate is determined by reference to the highest of BMO’s prime rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%, or the one-month LIBOR for U.S. dollars plus 1.00%. The applicable margin for loans under the Revolving Credit Facility is in a range of 4.00% to 3.75% for LIBOR loans and 3.00% to 2.75% for base rate loans, depending on Digi’s consolidated leverage ratio. In addition to paying interest on the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility, we are required to pay a commitment fee on the non-utilized commitments thereunder, which is also reported in interest expense. Digi elected an interest period of one month for the months of December 2021 through April 2022 and a period of six months effective May 1, 2022. Following the expiration of the election on October 31, 2022, Digi elected an interest period of one month, effective on November 1, 2022 and has elected the same periods each subsequent month. Following the discontinuation of LIBOR on June 30, 2023, borrowings under the Term Loan Facility will be subject to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). Our weighted average interest rate for our Term Loan Facility as of June 30, 2023 was 10.16%. Our weighted average Revolving Loan Facility commitment fee was 0.20% as of June 30, 2023.

The debt issuance costs and remaining balance under the Prior Credit Facility totaled $2.3 million at November 1, 2021. Of this amount $1.9 million was written off and included in interest expense upon the entry into the new amendment and $0.4 million is being amortized over the term of the amended loan and reported in interest expense. Digi incurred an additional $11.7 million and $1.7 million in debt issuance costs relating to the November 1, 2021 and December 22, 2021 amendments, respectively. These amounts are being amortized over the term of the amended loan and reported in interest expense.

The Term Loan is payable in quarterly installments, with the balance remaining due on November 2, 2028. The Revolving Loan is due in a lump sum payment at maturity on November 2, 2028, if any amounts are drawn. The fair value of the Term Loan and Revolving Loan approximated carrying value at June 30, 2023.

Digi made early payments against the term loan of $16.3 million and $81.3 million in nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Covenants and Security Interest

The agreements governing the Revolving Loan Facility contain a number of covenants. Among other provisions, these covenants require us to maintain a certain financial ratio (net leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge ratio). At June 30, 2023, we had no amounts drawn on the Revolving Loan Facility. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of our assets.
