2023 Credit Agreement
On November 28, 2023, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Grindr Capital LLC (“Grindr Capital”), as borrower, entered into a credit agreement (the “2023 Credit Agreement”) with the Company and certain other wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto. The 2023 Credit Agreement provides for a (i) $300,000 senior secured term loan facility (“Senior Term Loan Facility”), and (ii) $50,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (“Senior Revolving Facility,” and together with the Senior Term Loan Facility, the “2023 Credit Facilities”) (with a $15,000 letter of credit sublimit and a $10,000 swingline loan sublimit). Grindr Capital has the option to request that lenders increase the amount available under the Senior Revolving Facility by, or obtain incremental term loans of, up to $100,000, subject to the terms of the 2023 Credit Agreement and only if existing or new lenders choose to provide additional term or revolving commitments.
On November 28, 2023, Grindr Capital borrowed the full amount of the Senior Term Loan Facility and $44,400 under the Senior Revolving Facility. Proceeds from the initial drawings under the 2023 Credit Facilities and cash on hand were used to repay in full outstanding obligations under the Company's previous credit agreement and to pay fees, premiums, costs, and expenses, including fees payable in connection with the 2023 Credit Agreement. Unused commitments under the 2023 Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2025, amounted to $38,400. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, there were no swingline loans or letters of credit outstanding under the 2023 Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the 2023 Credit Agreement (other than swingline loans) bear interest at a rate equal to either, at Grindr Capital’s option, (i) the highest of the Prime Rate (as defined in the 2023 Credit Agreement), the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the 2023 Credit Agreement) plus 0.50%, or one-month Term SOFR (as defined in the 2023 Credit Agreement) plus 1.00% (the “Alternate Base Rate”); or (ii) Term SOFR; in each case plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.75% to 3.25% with respect to Term SOFR borrowings and 1.75% to 2.25% with respect to Alternate Base Rate borrowings. The interest rate in effect for 2023 Credit Agreement, other than swingline loans, as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, is 7.1% and 7.2%, respectively.
Swingline loans under the 2023 Credit Agreement bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin will be based upon the total net leverage ratio (as defined in the 2023 Credit Agreement) of the Company.
Grindr Capital will also be required to pay a commitment fee for the unused portion of the Senior Revolving Facility, which will range from 0.375% to 0.50% per annum, depending on the total net leverage ratio of the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s commitment fee was not significant.
The Senior Term Loan Facility will amortize on a quarterly basis at 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding as of the initial closing date of the 2023 Credit Agreement, until the final maturity date on November 28, 2028. Any borrowing under the Senior Revolving Facility may be repaid, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, subject to prior notice and accompanied by accrued interest and break funding payments, and any amounts repaid may be reborrowed, in each case, until the maturity date on November 28, 2028.
Mandatory prepayments are required under the Senior Revolving Facility when borrowings and letter of credit usage exceed the aggregate revolving commitments of all lenders. Mandatory prepayments are also required in connection with (i) certain asset dispositions and casualty events, in each case, to the extent the proceeds of such dispositions or casualty events exceed certain individual and aggregate thresholds and are not reinvested, and (ii) unpermitted debt transactions. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company was not required to make any mandatory prepayments.
The 2023 Credit Agreement contains certain customary events of default, and if an event of default has occurred and continues beyond any applicable cure period, all outstanding obligations under the 2023 Credit Agreement may be accelerated or the commitments may be terminated, amongst other remedies. Additionally, the lenders are not obligated to fund any new borrowing under the 2023 Credit Agreement while an event of default is continuing.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company did not incur debt issuance costs in conjunction with the 2023 Credit Agreement. The amortization of such debt issuance costs is included in “Interest expense, net” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Covenants
The 2023 Credit Agreement includes financial covenants, including the requirement for the Company to maintain (i) a total net leverage ratio no greater than a specified level, currently 3.50:1.00 prior to and through December 31, 2025 and no greater than 3.00:1.00 thereafter; and (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio no less than 1.15:1.00 from March 31, 2024 and thereafter.
The 2023 Credit Agreement also contains certain customary restrictive covenants regarding indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, investments, restricted payments, disposition of assets, transactions with affiliates, hedging transactions, certain prepayments of indebtedness, amendments to organizational documents and sale and leaseback transactions. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the 2023 Credit Agreement.
