Revolving Credit Facility

 

On February 12, 2021, the Company entered into a loan agreement governing a C$25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with the Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”), as lender (the “RBC Facility”). Under the RBC Facility, the Company is able to borrow up to a maximum of 90% of investment grade or insured accounts receivable plus 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of (i) 75% of the book value of eligible inventory and (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory less any reserves for potential prior ranking claims (the “Borrowing Base”). Interest was calculated at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 30 basis points or at the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or LIBOR plus 155 basis points. Under the RBC Facility, if the “Aggregate Excess Availability”, (defined as the Borrowing Base less any loan advances or letters of credit or guarantee and if undrawn including unrestricted cash), is less than C$5.0 million, the Company was subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”) covenant of 1.10:1 on a trailing twelve-month basis. Additionally, if the FCCR has been below 1.10:1 for the three immediately preceding months, the Company is required to maintain a reserve account equal to the aggregate of one year of payments on outstanding loans on the Leasing Facilities (defined below). Should an event of default occur or the Aggregate Excess Availability be less than C$6.25 million for five consecutive business days, the Company would enter a cash dominion period whereby the Company’s bank accounts would be blocked by RBC and daily balances will offset any borrowings and any remaining amounts made available to the Company.

On February 9, 2023, the Company extended the RBC Facility (the “Extended RBC Facility”). The Extended RBC Facility has a maximum borrowing base of C$15 million and a one-year term. Interest is calculated as at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 75 basis points or the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 200 basis points plus the Term SOFR Adjustment (as defined in the amended loan agreement governing the Extended RBC Facility). Under the Extended RBC Facility, if the trailing twelve-month FCCR is not above 1.25 for three consecutive months, a cash balance equivalent to one year’s worth of Leasing Facilities payments must be maintained. Effective October 2023, inventory was scoped out of the Borrowing Base. At December 31, 2023, available borrowings are C$13.6 million ($10.3 million) (2022 – C$7.2 million ($5.3 million) of available borrowings), calculated in the same manner as the RBC Facility described above, of which no amounts have been drawn. The Company did not meet the three-month FCCR requirement during the year end 2023, which resulted in the restriction of $0.4 million of cash (2022 - $3.4 million).

On February 9, 2024, the Company extended the Extended RBC Facility (the “Second Extended RBC Facility”). The Second Extended RBC Facility is subject to the borrowing base calculation to a maximum of C$15 million and a one-year term. Interest is calculated as at the Canadian or U.S. prime rate plus 75 basis points or at the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate or Adjusted Term CORRA or Term SOFR plus the Term SOFR Adjustment, in each case plus 200 basis points.

 

Leasing Facilities

The Company has a C$5.0 million equipment leasing facility in Canada (the “Canada Leasing Facility”) of which C$4.4 million ($3.4 million) has been drawn and C$3.8 million ($2.9 million) has been repaid, and a $14.0 million equipment leasing facility in the United States of which $13.3 million has been drawn and repaid (the “U.S. Leasing Facility” and, together with the Canada Leasing Facility, the “Leasing Facilities”) with RBC. The Canada Leasing Facility has a seven-year term and bears interest at 4.25%.

The Company did not make any draws on the Leasing Facilities during 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company received C$0.9 million ($0.7 million) under the Canada Leasing Facility. The associated financial liabilities are shown on the consolidated balance sheet in the current portion of long-term debt and accrued interest and long-term debt.

As part of RBC’s consent to the AWI transaction (refer to Note 7), one of the Canadian lease agreements of $1.6 million was fully settled using AWI proceeds. This resulted in the release of $0.4 million of restricted cash associated with the one year of payments on this lease, as described above.

Refer to Note 6 on the decision to permanently close the Rock Hill Facility. As part of this decision, the Company fully settled the $7.8 million principal balance of the U.S. Leasing Facility in the fourth quarter of 2023. The U.S. Leasing Facility is no longer available to be drawn on. With the settlement of this liability, $2.6 million was released from restricted cash.

Convertible Debentures

On January 25, 2021, the Company completed a C$35.0 million ($27.5 million) bought-deal financing of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures with a syndicate of underwriters (the “January Debentures”). On January 29, 2021, the Company issued a further C$5.25 million ($4.1 million) of the January Debentures under the terms of an overallotment option granted to the underwriters. The January Debentures will mature and be repayable on January 31, 2026 (the “January Debentures Maturity Date”) and will accrue interest at the rate of 6.00% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on the last day of January and July of each year commencing on July 31, 2021, until the January Debentures Maturity Date. Interest and principal are payable in cash or shares at the option of the Company. Costs of the transaction were approximately C$2.7 million, including the underwriters’ commission. The January Debentures will be convertible into common shares of DIRTT, at the option of the holder, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day prior to the earlier of the January Debentures Maturity Date and the date specified by the Company for redemption of the January Debentures at a conversion price of C$4.65 per common share, being a ratio of approximately 215.0538 common shares per C$1,000 principal amount of the January Debentures. Subsequent to the Rights Offering (refer to Note 23), the conversion price is now C$4.03 per common share representing a conversion rate of approximately 248.1390 common shares per C$1,000 principal amount of the January Debentures. As at December 31, 2023, C$18.9 million of the January Debentures are held by a related party (refer to Note 22).

 

On December 1, 2021, the Company completed a C$35.0 million ($27.4 million) bought-deal financing of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures with a syndicate of underwriters (the “December Debentures” and, together with the January Debentures, the “Debentures”). These December Debentures will mature and be repayable on December 31, 2026 (the “December Debentures Maturity Date”) and will accrue interest at the rate of 6.25% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on the last day of June and December of each year commencing on June 30, 2022, until the December Debentures Maturity Date. Interest and principal are payable in cash or shares at the option of the Company. Costs of the transaction were approximately C$2.3 million, including the underwriters’ commission. The December Debentures will be convertible into common shares of DIRTT, at the option of the holder, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day prior to the earlier of the December Debentures Maturity Date and the date specified by the Company for redemption of the December Debentures at a conversion price of C$4.20 per common share, being a ratio of approximately 238.0952 common shares per C$1,000 principal amount of the December Debentures. Subsequent to the Rights Offering (refer to Note 23), the conversion price is now C$3.64 per common share representing a conversion rate of approximately 274.7253 common shares per C$1,000 principal amount of the December Debentures. As at December 31, 2023, C$13.6 million of the December Debentures are held by a related party (refer to Note 22).
