11. Long-term debt

On October 25, 2019, the Company, and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the “Borrowers”), as borrowers, and certain material subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors, entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), as Administrative Agent, and certain lender parties thereto. The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a $300.0 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) amending and restating the $125.0 million secured revolving credit facility that previously existed with such lenders. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of October 25, 2024. On March 1, 2023, the Amended Credit Agreement and the Facility were amended to replace London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")-based pricing with Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR")-based pricing.

In April 2020, as a precautionary measure to increase the Company’s cash position and to preserve financial flexibility during the initial uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company completed a borrowing of $100.0 million under the Facility, which the Company then paid back in full later that year. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Facility at December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively. However, on January 3, 2023, the Company borrowed $30.0 million under the Facility for working capital purposes, including to fund certain merger-related expenses. Further, an additional $15.0 million was borrowed on March 3, 2023.

Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement may be used for, among other things, working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries (including permitted acquisitions and permitted payments of dividends and other distributions). The Facility is available in U.S. Dollars with up to $150.0 million of the Facility available to be borrowed in Euros or Pound Sterling (the “Agreed Currencies”). The Facility further permits up to $50.0 million of the Facility to be utilized for the issuance of letters of credit in the Agreed Currencies. The Borrowers have the ability to increase the amount of the Facility, which increases may take the form of increases to the revolving credit commitments or the issuance of new term A loans, by an aggregate amount of up to the greater of $150.0 million or an incremental amount such that the total amount of the Facility does not exceed 350% of consolidated EBITDA of the Company (as determined for the four fiscal quarter period most recently ended for which financial statements are available), upon satisfaction of customary conditions precedent for such increases or incremental loans and receipt of additional commitments by one or more existing or new lenders.

Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at a floating rate, which is, at the Borrowers’ option, either SOFR, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% or a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.25% (in each case subject to adjustment based on the Company’s total leverage ratio). An unused fee ranging from 0.15% to 0.25% (subject to adjustment based on the Company’s total leverage ratio) is payable quarterly in arrears based on the daily amount of the undrawn portion of each lender’s revolving credit commitment under the Facility. Fees are payable on outstanding letters of credit at a rate equal to the applicable margin for SOFR loans, plus certain customary fees payable solely to the issuer of the letter of credit.

Certain of the Company’s existing and future material subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) are required to guarantee the repayment of the Borrowers’ obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement. The obligations of the Borrowers and each of the Guarantors with respect to the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the personal property

assets of the Borrowers and each of the Guarantors, including accounts receivables, deposit accounts, intellectual property, investment property, inventory, equipment, and equity interests in their respective subsidiaries.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, grant or permit additional liens, make investments and acquisitions, merge or consolidate with others, dispose of assets, pay dividends and distributions, pay subordinated indebtedness, and enter into affiliate transactions. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring the Company on a consolidated basis to maintain, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, a total net leverage ratio of not more than 3.5 to 1.0 (which ratio can be permitted to increase to 4.0 to 1.0 for no more than 4 fiscal quarters following a material acquisition) and an interest coverage ratio of at least 3.0 to 1.0. The Amended Credit Agreement also includes events of default customary for facilities of this type and upon the occurrence of such events of default, subject to customary cure rights, all outstanding loans under the Facility may be accelerated and/or the lenders’ commitments terminated. The Company is in compliance with all required financial covenants as of December 31, 2022.

In conjunction with obtaining the Facility, the Company paid $1.5 million in debt issuance costs and capitalized a total of $1.8 million associated with the Facility (inclusive of certain capitalized costs prior to the most recent amendment). These costs are being amortized over the life of the Facility. Capitalized debt issuance costs are included in other long-term assets, net of accumulated amortization. As of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization, were $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Debt issuance costs amortized or expensed totaled $0.4 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

The Company has an unused available Italian line of credit of €5.5 million ($5.9 million and $6.3 million) at December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively. This unsecured line of credit provides the Company the option to borrow amounts in Italy at interest rates determined at the time of borrowing.

The Company paid cash related to interest of $1.4 million, $1.5 million, and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
