Term Loan: Under the Company’s First Lien Credit Agreement, as amended (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”), the Company has made term loans consisting of $1,150,000 of aggregate initial principal amount of debt outstanding (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan matures on February 8, 2028 and is repaid on a quarterly basis in principal payments of $2,875 beginning on September 29, 2023. The Term Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR plus 3.50%. Interest is due on the last day of the interest period. The interest period, as agreed upon between the Company and its lender, can be either one, three, or six months in length. As of June 29, 2025, the interest period is one month.
On December 17, 2024, the Company entered into a Twelfth Amendment (the “Twelfth Amendment”) to the First Lien Credit Agreement. The Twelfth Amendment provided for an incremental term loan amount of $150,000. In addition, the Twelfth Amendment increased the quarterly principal payments beginning on December 31, 2024 from $2,875 to
$3,255. Proceeds from the Twelfth Amendment were used to repay all amounts outstanding on the Revolver and for general corporate purposes. The Company accounted for this transaction as a debt modification, which was not substantial. Therefore, the Company did not incur any gain or loss relating to the modification.
Revolver: Under the First Lien Credit Agreement, the Company has access to a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”). As of June 29, 2025, the Revolver commitment is $335,000. The outstanding balance on the Revolver is due on December 15, 2026. Interest on borrowings under the Revolver is based on the Adjusted Term SOFR.
First Lien Credit Agreement Covenants: Obligations owed under the First Lien Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest on substantially all assets of Lucky Strike Entertainment Corporation and the guarantor subsidiaries. The First Lien Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, asset dispositions, dividends and affirmative and negative covenants. The Company is subject to a financial covenant requiring that the First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) not exceed 6.00:1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter if amounts outstanding on the Revolver exceed an amount equal to 35% of the aggregate Revolver commitment (subject to certain exclusions) at the end of such fiscal quarter. In addition, payment of borrowings under the Revolver may be accelerated if there is an event of default, and Lucky Strike would no longer be permitted to borrow additional funds under the Revolver while a default or event of default were outstanding.
Letters of Credit: Outstanding standby letters of credit as of June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024 totaled $22,422 and $15,834, respectively, and are guaranteed by JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. The available amount of the Revolver is reduced by the outstanding standby letters of credit.
Other Equipment Loans: On August 19, 2022, the Company entered into an equipment loan agreement for a principal amount of $15,350 with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. The loan matures August 19, 2029 and bears a fixed interest rate of 6.24%. The loan is repaid on a monthly basis in fixed payments of $153 plus a final payment at maturity. The loan obligation is secured by a lien on the equipment.
Covenant Compliance: The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 29, 2025.
Interest rate collars: The Company entered into two interest rate collars effective as of March 31, 2023 for an aggregate notional amount of $800,000. The collar hedging strategy stabilizes interest rate fluctuations by setting both a floor and a cap. The hedge transactions have a trade and hedge designation date of April 4, 2023. The hedge transactions, each for a notional amount of $400,000, provide for interest rate collars. The interest rate collars establish a floor on SOFR of 0.9429% and 0.9355%, respectively, and a cap on SOFR of 5.50%. The interest rate collars have a maturity date of March 31, 2026.
The fair value of the collar agreements as of June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024 was a liability of $16 and asset of $696, respectively, and is included within other current assets and other assets in the consolidated balance sheet.
Since SOFR was within the collar cap and floor rates, there was no interest impact for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024.
