ABL Agreement
On October 27, 2023, the Company terminated its existing Second Amended and Restated Asset-Based Revolving Credit Agreement dated December 6, 2021 and along with certain of its directly and indirectly owned subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”) entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “ABL Agreement”) with Regions Bank, as lender, swingline lender, LC issuer, administrative agent, collateral agent, and lead arranger, along with ServisFirst Bank and Texas Capital Bank, as joint lead arrangers and the other lenders party thereto. In connection with the termination, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2,753 related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs for and fees paid to exiting lenders. The ABL Agreement includes an asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) which allows the Company to borrow cash or obtain LCs, on a revolving basis, in an aggregate amount of up to $155,000. The Company may request an increase to the capacity of the facility of up to $75,000 provided that $25,000 may be solely for the purpose of providing additional availability to obtain cash collateralized LCs. Availability under the ABL Facility is calculated monthly and fluctuates based on qualifying amounts of coal inventory, trade accounts receivable and in certain circumstances specified amounts of cash. The Company must maintain minimum Liquidity, as defined in the ABL Agreement, of $75,000. The ABL Facility matures on October 27, 2027.
Under the terms of the ABL Facility, LC fees will be calculated at 3.25% (including a fronting fee of 0.25%) while future borrowings will bear interest based on the character of the loan (defined as either a “Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate Loan” (or “Term SOFR Loan”) or a “Base Rate Loan”) plus an applicable rate of 3.10% for a Term SOFR Loan and 2.00% for a Base Rate Loan. The Company may elect the character and interest period for each loan. All amounts borrowed may be repaid prior to maturity without penalty. A commitment fee of 0.375% will be charged on any unused capacity. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no amounts borrowed and $42,149 and $60,896 LCs outstanding under the ABL Facility, respectively.
The ABL Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of Alpha’s directly and indirectly owned subsidiaries that are not Borrowers (the “Guarantors”) and is secured by all or substantially all assets of the Borrowers and Guarantors. The ABL Agreement and related documents contain negative and affirmative covenants including certain financial covenants. The Company is in compliance with all covenants under these agreements as of December 31, 2024.
