In November 2025, we completed a refinancing of our existing debt by entering into a new term loan (“2025 Term Loan”) and a new revolving credit facility (“2025 Revolving Credit Facility”). The 2025 Term Loan is a $200.0 million senior secured loan that matures in November 2030. The 2025 Revolving Credit Facility is a $450.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility that matures in November 2030. The 2025 Term Loan replaced the 2022 Term Loan (“2022 Term Loan”) which was a $250.0 million senior secured loan. The 2025 Revolving Credit Facility replaced the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility (“2022 Revolving Credit Facility”) which was a $200.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The 2025 Term Loan and 2025
Revolving Credit Facility, collectively are the new credit facilities (“2025 Credit Facilities”). The 2022 Term Loan and 2022 Revolving Credit Facility, collectively were the 2022 credit facilities that were entered into in July 2022 and would have matured in July 2027 (“2022 Credit Facilities”).
The 2025 Term Loan bears interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either (i) Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.250% to 2.125% per year or (ii) Base Rate (defined as the highest of [a] Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, [b] Bank of America’s prime rate, and [c] Term SOFR plus 1.00%, and if the Base Rate is less than zero percent, it will be deemed zero percent) plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.250% to 1.125% per year, in each case based upon the consolidated total net adjusted leverage ratio. Interest payments are typically paid either on a monthly or quarterly basis, depending on the interest rate selected, on the last business day each month or quarter. In addition, the terms of the 2025 Term Loan require us to make installment payments of 0.625% of the initial outstanding principal balance on a quarterly basis during years one and two, 1.250% during years three and four, and 1.875% during year five, on the last business day of each calendar quarter. Under the 2025 Term Loan, no quarterly amortization payment was required to be paid during the fourth quarter of 2025, instead, it began in the first quarter of 2026. For the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025, we made the required quarterly amortization payments of $1.3 million and zero, respectively. The required quarterly amortization due on March 31, 2025 was in our second fiscal quarter of 2025.
The 2025 Revolving Credit Facility bears interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either (i) Term SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.250% to 2.125% per year or (ii) Base Rate (defined as the highest of [a] Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, [b] Bank of America’s prime rate, and [c] Term SOFR plus 1.00%, and if the Base Rate is less than zero percent, it will be deemed zero percent) plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.250% to 1.125% per year, in each case based upon the consolidated total net adjusted leverage ratio. Interest payments are typically paid either on a monthly or a quarterly basis, depending on the interest rate selected, on the last business day each month or quarter. The undrawn portion of the commitment of the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.175% to 0.250%, based upon the consolidated total net adjusted leverage ratio, typically paid on a quarterly basis, on the last business day each quarter. However, the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility does not require any principal installment payments.
In conjunction with the closing of the 2025 Credit Facilities, we utilized the entire $200.0 million of proceeds from the 2025 Term Loan combined with drawing down on the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility to pay off our entire debt balance outstanding of $320.0 million under the 2022 Credit Facilities.
As of April 4, 2026, we had $344.8 million of unused borrowing capacity under the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility, after deducting $0.2 million for standby letters of credit.
As of April 4, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants required under the 2025 Credit Facilities.
The 2025 Term Loan was considered a modification of debt for some lenders and an extinguishment of debt for other lenders, and thus, a loss of $0.3 million was recorded related to the extinguishment. In addition, the new fees incurred of $1.0 million were capitalized and will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the 2025 Term Loan. Further, the remaining debt issuance costs related to the 2022 Term Loan of $0.2 million as of the modification date will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the 2025 Term Loan, using the effective interest method.
The 2025 Revolving Credit Facility that replaced the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility was considered a modification of debt except for the portion related to the creditors that are no longer a part of the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility and in which case, it was considered an extinguishment of debt. As a result, we expensed the portion of the unamortized debt issuance costs related to the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility that was considered an extinguishment of debt of $0.3 million. In addition, the new fees incurred of $2.6 million as part of the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility were capitalized and will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility. Further, the remaining debt issuance costs related to the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility of $0.5 million as of the modification date will also be amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the life of the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility.
The 2025 Credit Facilities were entered into by us (“Parent Company”) and guaranteed by all of our domestic subsidiaries, other than two subsidiaries that were considered minor (“Subsidiary Guarantors”). The Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally guarantee the 2025 Credit Facilities. The Parent Company has no independent assets or operations and, therefore, no consolidating financial information for the Parent Company and its subsidiaries is presented.
In November 2021, we entered into U.S. dollar-one month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) forward interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges, all with an effective date of January 1, 2024, for an aggregate total notional amount of $150.0 million, weighted average fixed rate of 1.8%, and all terminating on January 1, 2031 (“Forward Interest Rate Swaps”). The Forward Interest Rate Swaps mature on a monthly basis, with fixed amount payer payment dates on the first day of each calendar month, commencing on February 1, 2024 through January 1, 2031. The Forward Interest Rate Swaps were deemed to be highly effective upon entering into the derivative contracts and thus, hedge accounting treatment was utilized. See Note 1 and Note 4 for further information.
In July 2022, as a result of completing a refinancing of our existing debt by entering into the 2022 Credit Facilities, we were required to complete an amendment of the Forward Interest Rate Swaps (“Amended Forward Interest Rate Swaps”). The Forward Interest Rate Swaps were based on U.S. dollar-one month LIBOR and were amended to be based on one month Term SOFR as borrowings using LIBOR were no longer available under the 2022 Credit Facilities. Since this was an amendment of just the reference rate as a result of the cessation of LIBOR, utilizing the guidance under ASU 2020-04, we determined the Amended Forward Interest Rate Swaps as of the amendment date to continue to be highly effective. The Amended Forward Interest Rate Swaps weighted average fixed rate was 1.7% as a result of the difference between U.S. dollar-one month LIBOR and one month Term SOFR.
