Incremental Term A Loan borrowings that are alternate base rate loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the alternate base rate plus a margin that varies between 1.00% and 1.75% depending on GCI’s total leverage ratio. Incremental Term A Loan borrowings that are SOFR loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR plus a margin that varies between 2.00% and 2.75% depending on GCI’s total leverage ratio. Principal payments are due quarterly on the Term A-2 Loan equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount, which may step up to 1.25% of the original principal amount of the Term A-2 Loan depending on GCI’s secured leverage ratio. Principal payments on the Term A-1 Loan are not required during the first eight full fiscal quarters following the funding date thereof, and thereafter are payable in equal quarterly installments in an amount per annum equal to (x) 2.50% of the original principal amount of the Term A-1 Loan for the next eight full fiscal quarters and (y) 5.0% of the original principal amount of the Term A-1 Loan for each full fiscal quarter thereafter.
The revolving credit facility borrowings under the New L/C Facility that are alternate base rate loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the alternate base rate plus a margin that varies between 0.50% and 1.25% depending on GCI’s total leverage ratio. The revolving credit facility borrowings under the New L/C Facility that are SOFR loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR plus a margin that varies between 1.50% and 2.25% depending on GCI’s total leverage ratio.
The proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and the New L/C Facility may be used for any purpose permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement. The proceeds of the Term A-1 Loan are intended to be used to fund a portion of the purchase price (including related fees and expenses) related to the Quintillion Acquisition or repay or retire indebtedness incurred in connection with the Quintillion Acquisition. The New L/C Facility is intended to be used to issue letters of credit, including for the replacement of existing letters of credit made in connection with the Quintillion Acquisition. The proceeds of the Term A-2 Loan, net of certain fees and expenses, will be used for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the retirement of existing indebtedness of GCI.
Each loan may be prepaid at any time and from time to time without penalty other than customary breakage costs. The terms of the Credit Agreement include customary representations and warranties, customary affirmative and negative covenants and customary events of default. At any time after the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Agreement, the lenders may, among other options, declare any amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable and terminate any commitment to make further loans under the Credit Agreement.
The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a security interest on substantially all of the assets of GCI and the subsidiary guarantors, as defined in the Credit Agreement, and on the equity interests of GCI Holdings.
The foregoing description of the Amendment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein.
