Note 6 Credit Facilities

 

Wells Fargo

 

In March 2014, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries entered into a secured credit facility with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”). The credit facility, as amended and subsequently assigned to Wells Fargo Bank pursuant to its acquisition of GECC, provides for a $75.0 million revolving credit facility subject to availability based on prescribed advance rates on certain domestic accounts receivable and inventory amounts used to compute the borrowing base (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility includes a sub-limit of up to $35.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit. The amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility, as amended, were payable in full upon maturity of the facility on September 27, 2019, except that the Credit Facility would mature on June 15, 2018 if the Company did not refinance or extend the maturity of the convertible senior notes that mature in 2018, provided that any such refinancing or extension shall have a maturity date that is no sooner than six months after the stated maturity of the Credit Facility (i.e., on or about September 27, 2019). On June 14, 2018, the Company entered into a Term Loan Agreement with Great American Capital Partners Finance Co., LLC (“GACP”) to provide the necessary capital to refinance the 2018 convertible senior notes (see additional details regarding the Term Loan Agreement below). In addition, on June 14, 2018, the Company revised certain of the Credit Facility documents (and entered into new ones) so that certain of its Hong Kong based subsidiaries became additional parties to the Credit Facility. As a result, the receivables of these subsidiaries can now be included in the borrowing base computation, subject to certain limitations, thereby effectively increasing the amount of funds the Company can borrow under the Credit Facility. Any additional borrowings under the Credit Facility will be used for general working capital purposes. In August 2019, in connection with the Recapitalization Transaction (see Note 5 - Debt), the Company entered into an amended and extended revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo (the “Amended ABL Credit Agreement” or “Amended ABL Facility”). The Amended ABL Credit Agreement amends and restates the Company’s existing Credit Facility, dated as of March 27, 2014, as amended, with GECC and subsequently assigned to Wells Fargo, to, among other things, decrease the borrowing capacity from $75.0 million to $60.0 million and extend the maturity to August 9, 2022.

 

The obligations under the Amended ABL Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company, the subsidiary borrowers thereunder and certain of the other existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, the subsidiary borrowers thereunder and such other subsidiary guarantors, in each case, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens. As of December 31, 2020, the amount of outstanding borrowings was nil, the amount of outstanding stand-by letters of credit totaled $10.8 million and the total excess borrowing capacity was $37.3 million.

 

The Amended ABL Credit Agreement contains negative covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make restricted payments, pledge assets as security, make investments, loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions, undergo fundamental changes and enter into transactions with affiliates. The Company is also required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.1 to 1.0 under certain circumstances, and a minimum liquidity of $25.0 million and a minimum availability of at least $9.0 million. As of December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the Amended ABL Facility and the previous Credit Facility, as applicable.

 

Any amounts borrowed under the Amended ABL Facility accrue interest, at either (i) LIBOR plus 1.50% - 2.00% (determined by reference to a fixed charge coverage ratio-based pricing grid) or (ii) base rate plus 0.50% - 1.00% (determined by reference to a fixed charge coverage ratio-based pricing grid). As of December 31, 2020, the weighted average interest rate on the credit facility with Wells Fargo was nil.

 

The Amended ABL Facility also contains customary events of default, including a cross default provision and a change of control provision. In the event of a default, all of the obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the Amended ABL Facility may be declared immediately due and payable. For certain events of default relating to insolvency, all outstanding obligations become due and payable.

 

As described in Note 5 – Debt, on October 16, 2020, the Company amended its 2019 Recap Term Loan to reduce the amount and defer the calculation of its EBITDA covenant, with Wells Fargo as party to the agreement.

 

Amortization expense classified as interest expense related to the $1.1 million of debt issuance costs associated with the transaction that closed on August 9, 2019 (i.e., Amended ABL Facility) was $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Amortization expense classified as interest expense related to the $1.1 million of debt issuance costs associated with the Amended ABL Facility was $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

 

On June 2, 2021, the Company terminated the Wells Fargo ABL Credit Facility Agreement.

 

Great American Capital Partners

 

On June 14, 2018, the Company entered into a Term Loan Agreement, Term Note, Guaranty and Security Agreement and other ancillary documents and agreements (the “Term Loan”) with GACP, for itself as a Lender (as defined below) and as the Agent (in such capacity, “Agent”) for the Lenders from time to time party to the Term Loan (collectively, “Lenders”) and the other “Secured Parties” under and as defined therein, with respect to the issuance to the Company by Lenders of a $20.0 million term loan. To secure the Company’s obligations under the Term Loan, the Company granted to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in a substantial amount of the Company’s consolidated assets and a pledge of the majority of the capital stock of various of its subsidiaries.

 

The Term Loan was a secured obligation, second only to the Credit Facility with Wells Fargo, except with respect to certain of the Company’s inventory in which GACP has a priority secured position.

 

The Term Loan required the repayment of principal in the amount of 10% of the outstanding Term Loan per year (payable monthly) beginning after the first anniversary. All then-outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan would be due, and the Term Loan would terminate, no later than June 14, 2021, unless sooner terminated in accordance with its terms, which included the date of termination of the Wells Fargo Credit Facility and the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of the Company’s various convertible senior notes due in 2020 (see Note 5 - Debt). The Company was permitted to prepay the Term Loan, which would have required a prepayment fee (i) in year one of up to any unearned and unpaid interest that would have become due and payable in year one had the prepayment not occurred plus 2% of the initial amount of the Term Loan (i.e., $20.0 million), (ii) in year two of 2% of the initial amount of the Term Loan and (iii) in year three of 1% of the initial amount of the Term Loan.

 

In August 2019, in connection with the Recapitalization Transaction (see Note 5 - Debt), the Company repaid in full and terminated the Term Loan Agreement.

 

JPMorgan

 

On June 2, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers, entered into the JPMorgan ABL Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent and lender for a $67,500,000 senior secured revolving credit facility. The JPMorgan ABL Credit Agreement replaces the Company’s Wells Fargo ABL Facility, dated as of March 27, 2014, with General Electric Capital Corporation, since assigned to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. Any amounts borrowed under the JPMorgan ABL Facility will bear interest at either (i) Eurodollar spread plus 1.50% - 2.00% (determined by reference to an excess availability pricing grid) or (ii) Alternate Base Rate plus 0.50% - 1.00% (determined by reference to an excess availability pricing grid and base rate subject to a 1.00% floor). The JPMorgan ABL Facility matures in June 2026.

 

The JPMorgan ABL Credit Agreement contains negative covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make restricted payments, pledge their assets as security, make investments, loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions, undergo fundamental changes and enter into transactions with affiliates. Under certain circumstances the Company is also subject to a springing fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of not less than 1.1 to 1.0, as described in more detail in the JPMorgan ABL Credit Agreement.

 

The JPMorgan ABL Credit Agreement contains events of default that are customary for a facility of this nature, including (subject in certain cases to grace periods and thresholds) nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, violation of covenants, cross-default to certain other existing indebtedness, bankruptcy or insolvency events, certain judgment defaults, loss of liens or guarantees and a change of control as specified in the JPMorgan ABL Credit Agreement. If an event of default occurs, the commitments of the lenders to lend under the JPMorgan ABL Credit Agreement may be terminated and the maturity of the amounts owed may be accelerated.

 

The obligations under the JPMorgan ABL Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company, the subsidiary borrowers thereunder and certain of the other existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, the subsidiary borrowers thereunder and such other subsidiary guarantors, in each case, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens.

 

As of June 30, 2021, the amount of outstanding borrowings was nil, the amount of outstanding stand-by letters of credit totaled $11.0 million and the total excess borrowing availability was $53.4 million.

 

Amortization expense classified as interest expense related to the $1.5 million of debt issuance costs associated with the transaction that closed on June 2, 2021 (i.e., JPMorgan ABL Credit Agreement) was $24,742 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

 

As of June 30, 2021, off-balance sheet arrangements include letters of credit issued by JPMorgan of $11.0 million.
