The Company’s new loan agreement includes a five-year maturity date for both the term loan and the revolving credit facility. The Company drew $54 million at closing and used a portion of the proceeds to refinance its existing $30 million credit facility. The annual interest rate is equal to the adjusted forward SOFR1 subject to a floor of 1% and a ceiling of 3%, plus (1) 6% for the term loan and (2) 4% for the revolving loan. The term loan provides for at least 48 months of interest only at closing, which can be extended to 60 months.
With the completion of this refinancing, the Company now has liquidity and access to liquidity of approximately $220 million.
