Credit Facility

On November 14, 2019, the Company entered into a senior secured credit agreement (the “Sterling Credit Agreement”) with its lender, Sterling National Bank (the “Lender”), providing for borrowing in the aggregate principal amount of up to $60.0 million (the “Credit Facility”). Initially, the Credit Facility was comprised of four facilities: (1) a $20.0 million senior secured term loan maturing on December 1, 2024 (the “Term Loan”), with monthly interest and principal payments based on a 120-month amortization, with the outstanding balance due on the maturity date; (2) a $10.0 million senior secured delayed draw term loan maturing on December 1, 2024 (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”), with monthly interest payments for the first 18 months and thereafter monthly payments of interest and principal based on a 120-month amortization and all balances due on the maturity date; (3) a $15.0 million senior secured committed revolving line of credit providing a sublimit of up to $10.0 million for standby letters of credit maturing on November 13, 2022 (the “Revolving Loan”), with monthly payments of interest only; and (4) a $15.0 million senior secured non-restoring line of credit maturing on January 31, 2021 (the “Line of Credit Loan”). The Credit Facility was secured by a first priority lien in favor of the Lender on substantially all of the personal property owned by the Company as well as a pledge of the stock and other rights in the Company’s subsidiaries and mortgages on parcels of real property owned by the Company. The Sterling Credit Agreement was amended on various occasions.

On November 4, 2022, the Company agreed with its Lender to terminate the Sterling Credit Agreement and the remaining Revolving Loan. The Lender agreed to allow the Company’s existing letters of credit to remain outstanding, provided that they are cash collateralized. As of December 31, 2023, the letters of credit, in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of $4.1 million, remained outstanding, were cash collateralized, and were classified as restricted cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2023, the Company did not have a credit facility and did not have any debt outstanding.

On February 16, 2024, the Company entered into a secured credit agreement (the “Fifth Third Credit Agreement”) with Fifth Third Bank, National Association (the “Bank”), pursuant to which the Company, as borrower, has obtained a revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $40.0 million including a $10.0 million letter of credit sublimit and a $20.0 million accordion feature (the “Facility”), the proceeds of which are to be used for working capital, general corporate and certain other permitted purposes.
