Credit Facility

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $21.0 million and $18.9 million of letters of credit were outstanding, respectively. Total unused credit availability, in consideration of borrowing limitations, under the Company’s senior secured term loan and senior secured revolver loan with sub-facilities for letters of credit, swing-line loans and senior secured multi-currency loans (the "Credit Facility") was $26.7 million and $59.8 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until December 17, 2026, at which time all outstanding balances of the Credit Facility must be repaid.

At the Company’s option, revolving loans and the term loans accrue interest at a per annum rate based on either the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the Agent’s prime lending rate, (c) Daily Simple SOFR plus the Daily Simple SOFR Adjustment of 0.11448% plus 1.0%, or (d) 1.0%, plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75% depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (“Base Rate”), or (d) a one/three/six-month Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) plus the Term SOFR Adjustment ranging from 0.11% to 0.43% plus 1.75% to 2.75% depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio. Interest on swing line loans is the Base Rate.

Interest on Base Rate loans is payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter and at maturity. Interest on Term SOFR rate loans is payable on the last date of each applicable Interest Period (as defined in the agreement), but in no event less than once every three months and at maturity. The weighted average stated interest rate on outstanding borrowings was 8.04% and 6.75% at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company is required to maintain certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility). In the third quarter of 2023, the Company entered into an Elevated Ratio Period resulting in a maximum Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of 4.00 through June 30, 2024, after which time it will decrease to 3.50 until the end of the term of the Credit Facility.

The Company has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets to secure its obligations pursuant to the Credit Facility. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and such guaranty obligations are secured by a security interest on substantially all the assets of such subsidiaries, including certain real property. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility may also be guaranteed by the Company’s material foreign subsidiaries to the extent no adverse tax consequences would result to the Company.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all related financial and other restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility.
