Term Loan Facility
The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, GYP Holdings II Corp., as parent guarantor (in such capacity, “Holdings”), and GYP Holdings III Corp., as borrower (in such capacity, the “Borrower” and, together with Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined below), the “Loan Parties”), have a senior secured first lien term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”). The Term Loan Facility permits the Borrower to add one or more incremental term loans up to a fixed amount of $100.0 million plus a certain amount depending on a secured first lien leverage ratio test included in the Term Loan Facility. The Company is required to make scheduled quarterly payments of $1.3 million, or 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan Facility, with the balance due June 1, 2025. Provided that the individual affected lenders agree accordingly, the maturities of the Term Loan Facility may, upon the Borrower’s request and without the consent of any other lender, be extended. GYP Holdings II Corp., the sole entity between borrower and financial reporting entity, is a holding company with no other operations, assets, liabilities or cash flows other than through its ownership of GYP Holdings III Corp. (borrower) and its operating subsidiaries. As of April 30, 2021, the applicable rate of interest was 2.61%.
On June 1, 2018, the Company entered into the Third Amendment that provided for a new first lien term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $996.8 million due in June 2025 that bears interest at a floating rate based on LIBOR plus 2.75%, with a 0% floor. The net proceeds from the new first lien term loan facility were used to repay the Company’s existing Term Loan Facility outstanding balance of $571.8 million and to finance the acquisition of Titan.
On September 30, 2019, the Company made a $50.0 million prepayment of outstanding principal amount of its Term Loan Facility. On March 6, 2020, the Company made an additional $50.0 million prepayment of outstanding principal amount of its Term Loan Facility. The Company recorded total write-offs of debt discount and deferred financing fees of $1.3 million, which is included in write-off of discount and deferred financing fees in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended April 30, 2020.
On April 22, 2021, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to its First Lien Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) that, among other things, reduced the applicable interest rate to LIBOR plus 2.50%, with a 0% floor. The Company used net proceeds from the issuance of senior unsecured notes due May 2029 (the "Senior Notes") on April 22, 2021 to repay a portion of outstanding borrowings under the Company's Term Loan Facility. After giving effect to the Fourth Amendment, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan Facility was $511.0 million. The Company recorded a write-off of debt discount and deferred financing fees of $4.6 million, which is included in write-off of debt discount and deferred financing fees in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended April 30, 2021. On April 30, 2021, the Company made a scheduled quarterly payment of $1.3 million on the Term Loan Facility.
Asset Based Lending Facility
The Company has an ABL Facility that provides for aggregate revolving commitments of $445.0 million (including same day swing line borrowings of $44.5 million). GYP Holdings III Corp. is the lead borrower (in such capacity, the “Lead Borrower”). Extensions of credit under the ABL Facility are limited by a borrowing base calculated periodically based on specified percentages of the value of eligible inventory and eligible accounts receivable, subject to certain reserves and other adjustments.
At the Company’s option, the interest rates applicable to the loans under the ABL Facility are based at LIBOR or base rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The margins applicable for each elected interest rate are subject to a pricing grid, as defined in the ABL Facility agreement, based on average daily availability for the most recent fiscal quarter. The ABL Facility also contains an unused commitment fee subject to utilization, as included in the ABL Facility agreement.
As of April 30, 2021, the Company had available borrowing capacity of $429.6 million under the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility matures on September 30, 2024 unless the individual affected lenders agree to extend the maturity of their respective loans under the ABL Facility upon the Company’s request and without the consent of any other lender. The ABL Facility contains a cross default provision with the Term Loan Facility.
Terms of the ABL Facility and Term Loan Facilities
Collateral
The ABL Facility is collateralized by (a) first priority perfected liens on the following assets of the Loan Parties: (i) accounts receivable; (ii) inventory; (iii) deposit accounts; (iv) cash and cash equivalents; (v) tax refunds and tax payments; (vi) chattel paper; and (vii) documents, instruments, general intangibles, securities accounts, books and records, proceeds and supporting obligations related to each of the foregoing, subject to certain exceptions (collectively, “ABL Priority Collateral”) and (b) second priority perfected liens on the remaining assets of the Loan Parties not constituting ABL Priority Collateral, subject to customary exceptions (collectively, “Term Priority Collateral”) and excluding real property.
The Term Loan Facility is collateralized by (a) first priority liens on the Term Priority Collateral and (b) second priority liens on the ABL Priority Collateral, subject to customary exceptions.
Prepayments
The Term Loan Facility may be prepaid at any time. Under certain circumstances and subject to certain exceptions, the Term Loan Facility will be subject to mandatory prepayments in the amount equal to:
100% of the net proceeds of certain asset sales and issuances or incurrences of nonpermitted indebtedness; and
50% of annual excess cash flow for any fiscal year, such percentage to decrease to 25% or 0% depending on the attainment of certain total leverage ratio targets.
As of April 30, 2021, there was no prepayment required related to excess cash flow.
The ABL Facility may be prepaid at the Company’s option at any time without premium or penalty and will be subject to mandatory prepayment if the outstanding ABL Facility exceeds the lesser of the (i) borrowing base and (ii) the aggregate amount of commitments. Mandatory prepayments do not result in a permanent reduction of the lenders’ commitments under the ABL Facility.
Guarantees
Holdings guarantees the payment obligations under the ABL Facility and the Term Loan Facility. Certain of Holdings’ subsidiaries (i) guarantee the payment obligations under the Term Loan Facility (in such capacity, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and (ii) are co-borrowers under the ABL Facility.
Covenants
The ABL Facility contains certain affirmative covenants, including financial and other reporting requirements. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of April 30, 2021.
The Term Loan Facility contains a number of covenants that limit the Company’s ability and the ability of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries, as described in the respective credit agreement, to: incur more indebtedness; pay dividends, redeem or repurchase stock or make other distributions; make investments; create restrictions on the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends to us or make other intercompany transfers; create liens securing indebtedness; transfer or sell assets; merge or consolidate; enter into certain transactions with our affiliates; and prepay or amend the terms of certain indebtedness. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of April 30, 2021.
Events of Default
The ABL Facility and Term Loan Facility also provide for customary events of default, including non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, material inaccuracy of representations or warranties, specified cross default to other material indebtedness, certain bankruptcy events, certain ERISA events, material invalidity of guarantees or security interest, material judgments and changes of control.
Senior Notes
On April 22, 2021, the Company issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes in a private offering. Proceeds from the Senior Notes were used to repay a portion of outstanding borrowings under the Company's Term Loan Facility and to pay related transaction fees and expenses. The Senior Notes bear interest at 4.625% per annum and mature on May 1, 2029. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1.
The Senior Notes are general senior unsecured obligations, rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company, including the Term Loan Facility and ABL Facility, and are senior in right of payment to any existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company. The Senior Notes and the related guarantees are effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured indebtedness of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries guaranteeing the notes, including indebtedness under the Term Loan Facility and the ABL Facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The Senior Notes and the related guarantees are structurally subordinated to all of the
existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Senior Notes, including the senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility of Titan (the “Canadian Facility”).
The Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at any time on or after May 1, 2024, at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the redemption date. Prior to May 1, 2024, the Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, plus the “make-whole” premium set forth in the indenture. The Company may redeem up to 40% of the Senior Notes at any time prior to May 1, 2024 with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture. If the Company sells certain assets or consummates certain change in control transactions, the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase the Senior Notes.

The indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, make certain dividends, repurchase Company stock or make other distributions, make certain investments, create liens, transfer or sell assets, merge or consolidate, and enter into transactions with the Company’s affiliates. Such covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Indenture. The indenture also contains certain customary events of default, including failure to make payments in respect of the principal amount of the Senior Notes, failure to make payments of interest on the Senior Notes when due and payable, failure to comply with certain covenants and agreements and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency.
Canadian Revolving Credit Facility
The Company has a Canadian Facility that provides for aggregate revolving commitments of $24.4 million ($30.0 million Canadian dollars), as amended. The Canadian Facility bears interest at the Canadian prime rate plus a marginal rate based on the level determined by Titan’s total debt to EBITDA ratio at the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter or year. During the year ended April 30, 2021, the Company amended the Canadian Facility to, among other things, extend the maturity date and remove the highest pricing level applicable to borrowings under the Canadian Facility. As of April 30, 2021, the Company had available borrowing capacity of $24.2 million under the Canadian Facility. The Canadian Facility matures on January 12, 2026.
Installment Notes
The Company’s installment notes include notes for subsidiary stock repurchases from stockholders, notes for the payout of stock appreciation rights and a note to the seller of an acquired company. See Note 13, “Stock Appreciation Rights, Deferred Compensation and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests.”
