First Lien Credit Agreement
Performance of obligations under the First Lien Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all the productive assets of the Company. The First Lien Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s ability to, among other things:
•incur additional indebtedness;
•create or incur liens;
•engage in certain fundamental changes, including mergers or consolidations;
•sell or transfer assets;
•pay dividends and distributions on our subsidiaries’ capital stock;
•make acquisitions, investments, loans or advances;
•engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and
•enter into negative pledge clauses and clauses restricting subsidiary distributions.
If the Company draws more than $87.5 million of the revolving credit loan, the revolving credit loan is subject to a springing financial covenant pursuant to which the consolidated first lien net leverage ratio must not exceed 5.00 to 1.00. The credit agreements also contain certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default, including a change of control. If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the credit agreements will be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the credit agreements and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor.
On December 30, 2022, the Company amended the First Lien Credit Agreement by converting the interest rate for both the first lien term loan and the first lien revolving credit facility from LIBOR plus the applicable spread to SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.1% and the applicable spread. No other terms, including the amount of borrowing or the maturity date, were changed as a result of this amendment.
First Lien Term Loan
In February 2023, we entered into an amendment to our existing First Lien Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”), pursuant to which the Company completed a repricing of its First Lien Term Loan Facility, which provided for an extension of the maturity date to February 28, 2030. The first lien term debt has a variable interest rate whereby the Company can elect to use a Base Rate or SOFR plus an applicable rate. Pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, the applicable rate decreased for Base Rate loans from 2.00% to 1.75% and from 3.10% to 2.85% for SOFR based loans. The Company recognized an immaterial loss in connection with the repricing in the six months ended June 30, 2023 within Loss on debt modification and extinguishment on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Under the terms of the Fifth Amendment, the Company is obligated to make principal payments in the amount of 0.25% of the aggregate outstanding amount each quarter.
The effective interest rate on the first lien debt was 7.36% and 7.38% as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
First Lien Revolving Credit Facility
Pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, the Company also extended the maturity date of $213.0 million of our $250.0 million existing commitments of the first lien revolving credit facility to February 28, 2028. With respect to the $37.0 million commitments which were not extended, the maturity date is November 2, 2025. Debt issuance costs were incurred in connection with the repricing of the revolving credit facility. These debt issuance costs are amortized into interest expense over the expected life of the arrangement. Unamortized debt issuance costs included in Deferred costs and other assets, net of current portion on our Consolidated Balance Sheets were immaterial as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
The first lien revolving debt has a variable interest rate whereby the Company can elect to use a Base Rate or SOFR, plus an applicable rate. The applicable margin is 1.00% to 1.25% for Base Rate loans or 2.10% to 2.35% for SOFR loans, depending on the Company’s leverage.
Senior Notes
In February 2021, ZoomInfo Technologies LLC and ZoomInfo Finance Corp., indirect subsidiaries of ZoomInfo Technologies Inc. (the “Issuers”), issued $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.875% Senior Notes due February 2029 to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears beginning on August 1, 2021. The Issuers may redeem all or a part of the Notes at any time prior to February 1, 2024 at a price equal to the present value of the redemption price as of February 1, 2024, defined below, plus unaccrued and unpaid interest to February 1, 2024. In addition, beginning on February 1, 2024, the Issuers may redeem all or a part of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 101.938% of the principal amount redeemed. The redemption price decreases to 100.969% and 100.000% of the principal amount redeemed on February 1, 2025 and February 1, 2026, respectively. In addition, at any time prior to February 1, 2024, the Issuers may redeem up to 40% of the Notes from the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 103.875% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
In July 2021, ZoomInfo Technologies LLC and ZoomInfo Finance Corp., indirect subsidiaries of ZoomInfo Technologies Inc., issued and sold $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of additional 3.875% senior notes due in 2029. The notes were issued under the same indenture as the Issuers’ existing $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.875% senior notes due 2029 (the “Existing Notes”), which were issued in February 2021, and constitute part of the same series as the Existing Notes.
