Fifth Third Revolving Credit Facility - Undrawn

 

In September 2025, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “5/3 Revolver”) with Fifth Third Bank, National Association as administrative agent for itself and the other lenders, providing for a senior secured revolving credit facility in the initial principal amount of $40,000,000, together with an uncommitted incremental revolving line of credit in the principal amount of up to $20,000,000. The 5/3 Revolver will mature on September 26, 2030, or, if earlier, the date that is 91 days prior to the earliest maturity date of the Company’s 2030 Notes (as defined below).

 

 

Borrowings under the 5/3 Revolver bear interest at a floating rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75%, or (ii) a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”)-based rate plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%. In addition, an unused fee of 0.25% per annum is payable monthly in arrears based on the undrawn portion of the commitments in respect of the 5/3 Revolver. Borrowings under the 5/3 Revolver are secured by a first priority lien in substantially all of the present and future property and assets, real and personal, of the Company, subject to customary exceptions.

 

Under the 5/3 Revolver, the Company is subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants. In addition, the 5/3 Revolver contains certain financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain, on a consolidated basis as of the last day of each month, a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.10 to 1.0.

 

Deferred financing costs of $675,000 were recorded and will be amortized to interest expense over the term of agreement. The commitment fee related to the unused line of credit will be expensed as incurred.

 

As of December 31, 2025, there were no borrowings drawn or outstanding under the 5/3 Revolver. The Company was in compliance with all covenants and the entire initial principal amount is available as of December 31, 2025.

 

8.625% Senior Notes Due 2030

 

In September 2025, the Company closed a private offering of $250,000,000, aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”).

The 2030 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The 2030 Notes are effectively subordinated to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The 2030 Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company, subject to certain exceptions. The 2030 Notes bear interest at the rate of 8.625% per annum. Interest on the 2030 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing March 15, 2026. The issuance costs were recorded as a debt discount and are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the 2030 Notes using the effective interest rate method. The Indenture governing the 2030 Notes contains customary high-yield restrictive covenants including the payment of dividends, subject to specified exceptions, and requires an offer to repurchase the Notes upon the occurrence of certain change of control triggering events.

 

The Company may redeem all or part of the 2030 Notes prior to September 15, 2027, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2030 Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, plus a “make-whole” premium, as described in the indenture. The Company may redeem all or part of the 2030 Notes on or after September 15, 2027 at the applicable redemption prices described in the indenture. The Company may also redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes at any time prior to September 15, 2027, at a redemption price equal to 108.625% of the principal amount of the 2030 Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings. If a change in control triggering event occurs, unless the Company has previously exercised or substantially concurrently exercise its optional redemption right, the Company will be required to offer to repurchase the 2030 Notes from holders at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

 

Interest expense related to the 2030 Notes totaled $6,934,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, and included the amortization of debt issuance costs and discount of $436,000.

About Debt Disclosures

Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.

Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
