Risks and Contingencies:
- Covenant Compliance: Failure to meet the EBITDA or liquidity covenants could result in an event of default, making the principal balance immediately due and payable.
- Restrictions: The agreement includes customary restrictions on indebtedness, liens, acquisitions, investments, restricted payments, and dispositions.
- Interest Rate Risk: Interest rates are tied to SOFR or a base rate plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.75%, subject to EBITDA performance.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific Q2 2023 revenue and EBITDA figures in the press release (Exhibit 99.1) to assess immediate compliance with the $25.0 million EBITDA covenant for the quarter ending September 30, 2023.
- Confirm the current status of outstanding convertible notes to determine if the "91 days prior" maturity clause for the new credit facility applies sooner than August 2028.
- Review the full text of the Credit Agreement (to be filed in the 10-Q) for specific definitions of "Consolidated EBITDA" adjustments and exceptions to covenants.
- Assess the company's current cash position and undrawn commitments to ensure the $75.0 million minimum liquidity covenant is met as of the end of the current fiscal quarter.
