Revolving Credit Facility

The Company is party to a $600 million revolving credit agreement with a maturity date of September 19, 2024 (the "Amended Credit Agreement"). The covenant levels for the Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the second amendment entered into on May 29, 2020 and discussed further below) provide for a Restricted Period, which will end on the earlier of (a) October 1, 2021; or (b) the date on which (i) the Company terminates the Restricted Period at its election and (ii) the Total Net Leverage ratio does not exceed 4.50 to 1.0 (the "Restricted Period"). Interest rates for borrowings and the issuance of letters of credit and fees payable on any unused amounts of the revolving credit facility are subject to certain upward adjustments, including applicable margins above base rates and commitment fee rates when the Total Net Leverage Ratio exceeds 4.00 to 1.0 and base rate floors during the Restricted Period. The Company is subject to some additional limitations under certain covenant baskets during the Restricted Period.

Financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement are determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Company is required to maintain an Interest Coverage Ratio, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement, of no less than 3.00 to 1.00. During the Restricted Period, the Amended Credit Agreement provides for adjustments to the Total Net Leverage Ratio covenant as follows: (i) for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2021, the Total Net Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 5.50 to 1.0; (ii) for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021, the Total Net Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 5.25 to 1.0; and (iii) for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021, the Total Net Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 5.00 to 1.0. For each fiscal quarter ending on or after the end of the Restricted Period, the Company shall not permit the Total Net Leverage ratio to exceed 4.50 to 1.0.
The Amended Credit Agreement requires certain mandatory prepayments if (i) other than as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, revolving credit exposures exceed the total commitments or, solely as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the revolving credit exposures exceed 105% of the total commitments and (ii) during the Restricted Period, Unencumbered Balance Sheet Cash (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) exceeds $100 million for five consecutive business days.
The Company is limited in its ability to make certain payments. Such restricted payments are generally not permitted in the Restricted Period; however, outside of the Restricted Period the Company may generally make such restricted payments so long as no event of default exists at the time of such payment and would not result therefrom and the Total Net Leverage Ratio is equal to or less than 3.75 to 1.00 at the time such restricted payment is made. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants and ratios under the Amended Credit Agreement.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that are customary for similar credit arrangements, including, among other things, covenants relating to: (i) financial reporting and notification, (ii) payment of obligations, (iii) compliance with applicable laws, (iv) notification of certain events, and (v) limitations on the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things, sell or transfer assets, merge into or consolidate with any third-party or liquidate or dissolve, incurrence or guarantee of indebtedness, create liens, make investments, pay dividends or other distributions on or redeem or repurchase shares, make payments on subordinated indebtedness, enter into certain restrictive agreements or hedging transactions, engage in transactions with affiliates, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, amend their organizational documents, amend certain terms of existing indebtedness and change their fiscal year-end.
Each of the Guarantors (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) has guaranteed the full and punctual payment of the obligations under the revolving credit facility and the obligations under the revolving credit facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of the credit facility Guarantors, subject to permitted liens and other customary exceptions. Deferred financing costs associated with the Amended Credit Agreement are classified within the Prepaid expenses, deferred costs, and other noncurrent assets line on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its $600 million revolving credit facility and $10.0 million outstanding standby letters of credit under the facility.
Term Loan Facility

On June 29, 2020, the Company entered into the Term Loan, by and among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries (including Cardtronics USA, Inc. as the “Borrower”), the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. Pursuant to the Term Loan, the Company borrowed $500 million of aggregate principal and used a portion of the net proceeds to repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and retire the 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due December 2020. The Term Loan was issued with an original issue discount of 175 basis points and interest accrues at the rate of LIBOR plus 400 basis points, with a 1.00% LIBOR floor. Interest is payable quarterly, or in shorter intervals for LIBOR borrowings with a duration of less than three months.
The Term Loan matures on June 29, 2027 and requires installment principal repayments equal to 1% of the initial aggregate principal per annum, paid quarterly, with the outstanding balance due on the maturity date. The Term Loan Agreement requires certain other mandatory prepayments, including mandatory prepayments based on (i) a specified percentage of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) on an annual basis, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, (ii) the net proceeds of certain asset sales and/or insurance/condemnation events above a threshold amount, subject to reinvestment rights and other exceptions and (iii) the net proceeds of any issuance or incurrence of debt that is not permitted by the Term Loan Agreement, subject to certain exceptions. Outstanding balances are fully prepayable on a voluntary basis at par, subject to premiums for certain repricing or refinancing transactions, but may not be borrowed again once prepaid.

Each of the Guarantors of the Term Loan (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) have guaranteed the full and punctual payment of the obligations under the Term Loan Agreement and the obligations under the Term Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of such Guarantors, subject to permitted liens and other customary exceptions.

The Term Loan Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that are customary for similar credit arrangements, including, among other things, covenants relating to: (i) financial reporting and notification, (ii) payment of obligations, (iii) compliance with applicable laws, (iv) notification of certain events, and (v) limitations on the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things, sell or transfer assets, merge into or consolidate with any third-party or liquidate or dissolve, incur or guarantee indebtedness, create liens, make investments, pay dividends or other distributions on or redeem or repurchase shares, make payments on subordinated indebtedness, enter into certain restrictive agreements or hedging transactions, engage in transactions with affiliates, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, amend their organizational documents, amend certain terms of existing indebtedness, and change their fiscal year-end.

(the “2025 Notes Issuers”) issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes pursuant to an indenture dated April 4, 2017 (the “2025 Notes Indenture”) among the 2025 Notes Issuers, Cardtronics plc, and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors (each, a “2025 Notes Guarantor”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee.
Interest on the 2025 Notes accrues at the rate of 5.50% per annum and is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on May 1st and November 1st of each year.
