Material Changes and Covenants
The Company replaced its previous $64.3 million facility with a larger $100.0 million facility, increasing borrowing capacity. The new agreement introduces significant restrictive covenants limiting the Borrower's ability to incur additional indebtedness, make restricted payments, acquire assets, create liens, sell assets, pay dividends, or repurchase stock. Additionally, the Limited Guaranty includes financial maintenance covenants regarding tangible net worth, liquidity, and leverage for the consolidated group. Failure to meet these covenants constitutes an event of default.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Default Triggers: Immediate events of default include a change of control or if ratios pertaining to defaulted collateral receivables of a particular vintage or past due receivables exceed pre-determined levels.
- Guarantees: The facility is guaranteed by Sezzle Funding SPE II Parent, LLC, with a limited guaranty and indemnity provided by Sezzle Inc.
- Regulatory Compliance: The warrants were issued in compliance with exemptions under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D, sold only to qualified institutional and accredited investors.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the Company's ability to meet the mandatory minimum utilization rates ($75M by year-end 2022, $80M by Q1 2023).
- Monitor the Company's tangible net worth, liquidity, and leverage ratios to ensure compliance with the Limited Guaranty financial covenants.
- Assess the impact of the high interest rate (SOFR + 11.5%) on future interest expense and profitability.
- Review the dilution impact of the 2,075,064 warrants issued to lenders.
- Track the quality of collateral receivables to avoid triggering default events related to past due or defaulted vintages.
