| Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On October 14, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), Baldwin Risk Partners, LLC (“BRP LLC”), a subsidiary of BRP Group, Inc. (the “Company”), as borrower, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, certain material subsidiaries of BRP LLC, as guarantors, and the several banks, financial institutions, institutional investors and other entities from time to time party thereto as lenders and letter of credit issuers. The New Credit Agreement provides for new senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $800 million, consisting of (i) a term loan facility in the principal amount of $400 million (the loans thereunder, the “New Term Loans”) and (ii) a revolving credit facility with commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $400 million (the “New Revolving Credit Facility” and the loans thereunder, the “New Revolving Loans”). The New Term Loans were funded on the Closing Date, a portion of the proceeds of which were used to repay in full BRP LLC’s obligations under that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2019 (as amended, the “2019 Credit Agreement”), among BRP LLC, certain subsidiaries of BRP LLC, as guarantors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. In connection with such repayment in full, the 2019 Credit Agreement, the commitments thereunder and the guarantees and security interests with respect thereto were terminated and released, as applicable. The New Revolving Credit Facility was undrawn as of the Closing Date. The New Revolving Credit Facility and the remaining proceeds of the New Term Loans are available to finance the working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes of BRP LLC and certain of its subsidiaries (including acquisitions and other investments permitted under the New Credit Agreement).
The New Term Loans bear interest at a rate per annum based upon, depending on the type of loan, the Eurodollar rate plus 4.00% or the alternative base rate plus 3.00%. The New Revolving Loans bear interest at a rate per annum based upon, depending on the type of loan, the Eurodollar rate or the alternative base rate plus, in each case, a margin based on Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement). BRP LLC will pay a letter of credit fee equal to the margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar loans under the New Revolving Credit Facility multiplied by the daily amount available to be drawn under any letter of credit, a fronting fee and any customary documentary and processing charges for any letter of credit issued under the New Credit Agreement.
The outstanding principal balance of the New Term Loans is required to be repaid in equal quarterly installments equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the New Term Loans beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2020, the balance of which is due at maturity on October 14, 2027. The New Revolving Credit Facility is not subject to amortization and will mature on October 14, 2025.
The New Credit Agreement contains (i) certain customary representations and warranties, (ii) certain customary affirmative covenants, (iii) certain customary negative covenants and (iv) certain customary events of default, including, among other things, certain events of bankruptcy. If such an event of default occurs, the lenders under the New Credit Agreement would be entitled to terminate the lending commitments under the New Revolving Credit Facility and accelerate amounts due under the New Credit Agreement.
The foregoing description of the terms of the New Credit Agreement is not a complete description thereof and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of such agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
