Loan Agreement with Bank of America.
On October 15, 2020, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Summer Infant (USA), Inc., became parties to a Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (“BofA”), as agent, that provides for (i) a $40,000 asset-based revolving credit facility, with a $5,000 unused letter of credit sub-line facility, (ii) a $7,500 term loan and (iii) a $2,500 FILO (first-in, last-out) loan. The Loan Agreement replaced the Company’s prior agreement with BofA and term loan with Pathlight Capital. In April 2021, the Company entered into a letter agreement with BofA pursuant to which the maximum percentage of accounts owing from Wal-Mart that may be included in eligible accounts under the Loan Agreement was increased from 35% to 45%, effective from March 31, 2021 through July 31, 2021.
Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, total borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility is based on a borrowing base, which is generally defined as 85% of eligible receivables plus the lesser of (i) 70% of the value of eligible inventory (subject to certain limitations) or (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory, less applicable reserves. The scheduled maturity date of the loans under the revolving credit facility is October 15, 2025 (subject to customary early termination provisions). Loans under the revolving credit facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a base rate or at LIBOR, plus applicable margins based on average quarterly availability. Interest payments are due monthly, payable in arrears. The Company is also required to pay an annual non-use fee on unused amounts under the revolving credit facility, as well as other customary fees as are set forth in the Loan Agreement. As of July 3, 2021, the interest rate on LIBOR based and base rate revolver loans was 2.625% and 4.500%, respectively. At July 3, 2021, the amount outstanding on the revolving credit facility was $19,371, the total borrowing base was $25,799, and borrowing availability was $6,428.
The principal of the term loan is to be repaid, on a quarterly basis, in installments of $375, until paid in full on termination and subject to mandatory repayment in certain circumstances. The scheduled maturity date of the term loan is October 15, 2025 or earlier, if the revolving credit facility is terminated. The term loan bears interest, at the Company’s option, at a base rate or at LIBOR, plus applicable margins, and interest payments are due monthly, in arrears. As of July 3, 2021, the interest rate on LIBOR based term loans and on base rate term loans was 3.875% and 5.750%, respectively. The amount outstanding on the term loan was $6,375 as of July 3, 2021.
The total borrowing capacity under the FILO loan is the lesser of (i) the then applicable aggregate FILO commitment amount and (ii) a borrowing base, generally defined as a specific percentage of the value of eligible accounts, plus a specified percentage of the value of eligible inventory. The aggregate FILO commitment amount as of July 3, 2021 was $2,031 with no further availability, and such amount will be proportionately reduced each quarter until the FILO loan is terminated at maturity on October 15, 2024. There can be no voluntary repayment on the FILO loan as long as there are loans outstanding under the revolving credit facility, unless (i) there is an overadvance under the FILO loan, or (ii) such prepayment is accompanied by a permanent dollar for dollar reduction in the aggregate FILO commitment amount such that, after giving effect to such prepayment and reduction, the outstanding principal amount of the FILO loan is equal to but does not exceed the lesser of (A) the aggregate FILO commitment amount and (B) the FILO borrowing base. The FILO loan bears interest, at the Company’s option, at a base rate or at LIBOR, plus applicable margins, and interest payments are due monthly, in arrears. As of July 3, 2021, the interest rate on the LIBOR based FILO loans and on base rate FILO loans was 3.625% and 5.500%, respectively.
All obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company, and the Company’s subsidiaries, Summer Infant Canada Limited and Summer Infant Europe Limited, are guarantors under the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants. Among other restrictions, the Company is restricted in its ability to incur additional debt, make acquisitions or investments, dispose of assets, or make distributions unless in each case certain conditions are satisfied. Until the term loan and FILO loan have been repaid in full, the Company must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio at the end of each fiscal month of at least 1.00 to 1.00 for the twelve-month period then ended. After the term loan and FILO loan have been repaid in full, the Company will be required to maintain the fixed charge coverage ratio if availability falls below $5,000.
The Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default, including if the Company fails to comply with any required financial covenants and upon the occurrence of a change of control without consent of the lender. In the event of a default, all of the obligations under the Loan Agreement may be declared immediately due and payable. For certain events of default relating to insolvency and receivership, all outstanding obligations become due and payable.
