Repay Holdings Corp. 8-K Summary

Business Context and Reporting Period

This Current Report on Form 8-K, dated January 13, 2021 (with events reported through January 19, 2021), details the completion of two major capital raising transactions by Repay Holdings Corporation. The company, incorporated in Delaware and trading on NASDAQ under the symbol RPAY, executed a public equity offering and a private placement of convertible senior notes.

Key Financial Metrics and Transaction Details

  • Equity Offering: Sold 6,244,500 shares of Class A common stock at $24.00 per share. This included 814,500 shares from the full exercise of the underwriters' option. Net proceeds were $22.80 per share after discounts.
  • Debt Offering: Issued $440.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026. This included an initial $400.0 million plus $40.0 million from the full exercise of the initial purchasers' option.
  • Total Proceeds: Approximately $570.7 million net of underwriting discounts, commissions, and estimated offering expenses.
  • Note Terms: The notes bear no regular interest but may accrue special interest in specified circumstances. They mature on February 1, 2026, with an initial conversion price of approximately $33.60 per share.

Material Changes and Use of Proceeds

The primary material change is the significant increase in liquidity and the alteration of the company's capital structure through the issuance of new equity and debt. The filing does not provide comparative financial metrics (revenue, profit, margins) for the period as this is a transactional report rather than a periodic financial statement. The company intends to use the total proceeds for:

  • Repayment of term loans under its existing credit agreement.
  • Increasing availability under its revolving credit facility.
  • General corporate purposes, including potential repurchases of securities, future acquisitions, and satisfaction of earnout obligations.

Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies

Management commentary indicates a strategic shift to reduce existing term loan indebtedness. Key risks and contingencies associated with the new Convertible Senior Notes include:

  • Redemption: The company may redeem the notes for cash on or after February 5, 2024, if the stock price exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period.
  • Repurchase: Noteholders may require the company to repurchase notes for cash upon a "Fundamental Change."
  • Default: An event of default could make all outstanding notes immediately due and payable.
  • Subordination: The notes are structurally junior to all indebtedness and liabilities of the company's subsidiaries.

Investor Verification Checklist

  • Verify the exact amount of term loans repaid using the $570.7 million in net proceeds.
  • Review the full text of the Indenture (Exhibit 4.1) for specific definitions of "Fundamental Change" and special interest accrual triggers.
  • Confirm the updated debt-to-equity ratio and leverage metrics following the repayment of term loans.
  • Assess the dilution impact of the 6,244,500 new shares and potential future conversion of the $440 million in notes.
  • Check for any changes in the company's revolving credit facility availability as intended by management.
