2021 Credit Agreement

On February 8, 2021, certain subsidiaries of the Company, or the Loan Parties, entered into a new secured credit agreement, or the 2021 Credit Agreement. Proceeds were used to pay in full all outstanding loans and terminate all lending commitments under the 2016 Credit Agreement discussed below.

The 2021 Credit Agreement provides for (i) initial term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $300 million, or the Initial Term Loans, (ii) delayed draw term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $50 million, or the Delayed Draw Term Loans, and (iii) revolving credit loans in an aggregate principal amount of $40 million, with a letter of credit sublimit of $10 million, or the Revolving Credit Loans. The Delayed Draw Term Loans are available to the Loan Parties at any time prior to February 8, 2023, subject to certain conditions.

The Initial Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans bear interest, at the Loan Parties’ option, at the rate of (x) with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans (as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement), the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement) with a 1.00% floor, plus 6.50% per annum, or (y) with respect to Base Rate Loans (as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement), the Base Rate (as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement) plus 5.50% per annum. The Revolving Credit Loans bear interest, at our option, at the rate of (x) with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate plus 4.00% per annum, or (y) with respect to Base Rate Loans, the Base Rate plus 3.00% per annum. The Initial Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans amortize at a rate of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of Initial Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans outstanding, payable in consecutive quarterly installments of $0.8 million, beginning on June 30, 2021. On September 30, 2022, the balance due was $295.5 million with an interest rate of 6.50% plus an Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate of 3.67414%. On December 31, 2021, the balance due was $297.8 million with an interest rate of 6.50% plus an Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate of 1.00%.

The Initial Term Loans, Delayed Draw Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans are each scheduled to mature on the earlier of February 8, 2026 or six months prior to maturity of our Debentures due in December 2024. The Initial Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans may be voluntarily repaid at any time but may be subject to a prepayment premium. The Initial Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans are required to be repaid under certain circumstances, including with Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement), the proceeds of an Asset Sale or Casualty Event (each as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement) and the proceeds of certain refinancing indebtedness.

The obligations under the 2021 Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Loan Parties’ assets. The 2021 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants as well as a financial maintenance covenant that requires the Loan Parties to maintain a First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement) of less than or equal to 7.00 to 1.00, tested at the end of each fiscal quarter. The Company was in compliance with all Credit Agreement covenants as of September 30, 2022.

The Company incurred closing fees of $8.0 million in connection with the entry into the 2021 Credit Agreement. These fees will be amortized over the full term of the 2021 Credit Agreement.

Revolving Credit Loans

The 2021 Credit Agreement also provides for an unfunded revolver commitment for borrowing up to $40.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Loans”). As of September 30, 2022, there was $39.4 million available capacity for borrowing under the revolving loan commitment due to the $0.6 million of letters of credit outstanding (See Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies).

2016 Credit Agreement and Revolving Credit Facility

On December 9, 2016, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a credit agreement, or the 2016 Credit Agreement, with a group of lenders to establish term loan facilities and a revolving line of credit for borrowings by LD Intermediate, Inc. and LD Lower Holdings, Inc. The initial term loan borrowings of $340.0 million under the first lien facility and $125.0 million under the second lien facility were to mature on December 9, 2022 and December 9, 2023, respectively. The 2016 Credit Agreement also provided for an unfunded revolver commitment for borrowing up to $30.0 million, maturing on June 9, 2022. The first lien facility and the revolving credit facility were repaid and retired on February 8, 2021 and the second lien facility was repaid on December 19, 2019. The Company incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $7.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 in connection with the retirement of the first lien facility and the revolving credit facility.

Convertible Debentures

On December 19, 2019, the Company issued Convertible Debentures in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million (the “Debentures” or the “Convertible Debentures”). At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the balance due under the Convertible Debentures was $236.4 million and $229.4 million, respectively.

The Debentures will mature on December 19, 2024 unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased, and bear interest at an annual rate of 4.00% in cash, payable quarterly, and 4.00% in kind, accrued quarterly, on the last business day of March, June, September and December. In addition, on each anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company will increase the principal amount of the Debentures by an amount equal to 3.00% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Debentures outstanding (subject to reduction for any principal amount repaid). The additional payment will accrue from the last payment date for the additional payment (or the Closing Date if no prior payment has been made), and will also be payable at maturity, upon conversion and upon an optional redemption.

At any time, upon notice as set forth in the Debentures, the Debentures will be redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

The Debentures are convertible into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Debenture holders at any time and from time to time at a price of $18 per share, subject to certain adjustments. On June 16, 2022, pursuant to the contractual requirement with the holders of the Debentures, at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to approve the issuance of shares of Common Stock in connection with the conversion of the Debentures into shares of Common Stock. In the event the Company elects to redeem any Debentures, the holders have a right to purchase Common Stock from the Company in an amount equal to the amount redeemed at the conversion price.

The Debentures contain covenants that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) create liens on assets; (iii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; or (iv) designate the Company’s subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The Debentures provide for customary events of default, including non-payment, failure to comply with covenants or other agreements in the Debentures and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. If an event of default occurs and continues, the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debentures may declare the entire principal amount of all the Debentures to be due and payable immediately. As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all Debenture covenants.
