Material Changes
The Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The amendment was necessitated by the impact of Hurricane Florence in North Carolina and South Carolina, which prompted the Company to implement a special loan payment extension program for affected customers.
- Waiver: The amendment waives the application of the "Extension Ratio" trigger for the September 2018 Collection Period regarding Level I and Level II Effective Date Receivables Trigger Events.
- Trigger Adjustments: The three-month average "Extension Ratio" trigger was amended for October and November 2018 Collection Periods. The trigger for October 2018 is now based on a one-month average, and the trigger for November 2018 is based on a two-month average.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: The filing indicates proactive management of credit agreement covenants in response to a natural disaster to support customer relief efforts without triggering default events.
Risks and Contingencies: The primary risk addressed is the potential breach of credit agreement covenants due to increased loan extensions following Hurricane Florence. The amendment mitigates this risk by adjusting the calculation periods and thresholds for the "Extension Ratio."
Unusual Items: The filing references the special loan payment extension program as a direct response to the disaster event.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the full text of Exhibit 10.1 (Amendment No. 2) to understand the specific numerical thresholds for the adjusted "Extension Ratio" triggers.
- Review the Company's subsequent quarterly reports (10-Q) to assess the actual financial impact of the Hurricane Florence payment extensions on cash flow and receivables.
- Confirm whether the special payment extension program has concluded or if further amendments to the Credit Agreement are required.
