Senior Secured Credit Agreement On November 25, 2020 Shoals Holdings LLC, a former subsidiary of the Company, entered into a senior secured credit agreement (as amended, the “Senior Secured Credit Agreement”), consisting of (i) a $350.0 million senior secured six-year term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), (ii) a $30.0 million senior secured delayed draw term loan facility, which matures concurrently with the six-year Term Loan Facility (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility”) and (iii) an uncommitted super senior first out revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). In December 2020, Shoals Holdings LLC entered into two amendments to the Senior Secured Credit Agreement in order to obtain a $100.0 million increase (the “Revolver Upsize”) to the Revolving Credit Facility and modify the terms of the interest rate and prepayment premium. As part of the first amendment the Company repaid and terminated all outstanding commitments under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility. On January 29, 2021, the Company used proceeds from the IPO to repay $150.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility. The repayment of a portion of the borrowings under the Term Loan Facility resulted in a $16.0 million loss on debt repayment as the result of the $11.3 million prepayment premium and $4.7 million write-off of a portion of the deferred financing costs. On May 2, 2022, Shoals Holdings LLC entered into an amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Agreement in order to increase the amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility from $100.0 million to $150.0 million. The amendment also set forth Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as the benchmark rate and amended the financial covenant such that, commencing with September 30, 2022, its Consolidated First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement) shall not exceed 6.50:1.00. On December 27, 2023, the Company used proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility to make a $50.0 million voluntary prepayment of outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility. As of December 31, 2023, the outstanding balance of the Term Loan Facility was $143.8 million. The balance of the Term Loan Facility is presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets net of deferred financing fees of $2.3 million and $4.2 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The deferred financing fees are being amortized using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, was 11.05% and 7.06%, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Revolving Credit Facility balance was $40.0 million and the Company had $109.7 million of availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. Following the internal reorganization described under “Entity Simplification” in Note 1, on February 7, 2024, Shoals Intermediate Parent became the borrower under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement. Interest Rate The interest rates applicable to the loans under the Term Loan Facility are based on a rate of interest determined by reference to either: (i) a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 4.75%, or (ii) a SOFR rate plus an applicable margin equal to, 5.75%. The interest rates applicable to the loans under the Revolving Credit Facility are based on a rate of interest determined by reference to either (i) a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 2.25% or (ii) a SOFR rate plus an applicable margin equal to 3.25%. As of December 31, 2023, interest rates on the Term Loan Facility was SOFR plus 5.75%, or 11.28%, and the Revolving Credit Facility was SOFR plus 3.25%, or 8.76%. Guarantees and Security The obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Shoals Intermediate Parent’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries other than certain immaterial subsidiaries and other excluded subsidiaries. The obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of Shoals Intermediate Parent’s and the guarantors’ existing and future property and assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, general intangibles, intellectual property, investment property, other personal property, material owned real property, cash and proceeds of the foregoing. Prepayments and Amortization Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility may be voluntarily prepaid, at Shoals Intermediate Parent’s option, in whole, or in part, in each case without premium or penalty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding paragraph, in the event that, on or after December 30, 2020 but prior to February 28, 2021, Shoals Holdings LLC made any prepayment (including with respect to any acceleration) of any loans under the Term Loan Facility, Shoals Holdings LLC would pay a premium on such prepayments made up to $150.0 million of the principal amount of such loans prepaid in an amount equal to 7.50% multiplied by the principal amount of such loans prepaid, which, if applicable, would be in lieu of any applicable prepayment premium set forth in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement; provided that no amortization payments or mandatory prepayments required under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement would be subject to the prepayment premium set forth in this paragraph. On January 29, 2021, the Company used proceeds from the IPO to repay $150.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility resulting in a prepayment premium of $11.3 million. The Senior Secured Credit Agreement requires mandatory prepayments, but not permanent reductions of commitments thereunder, for excess cash flow, asset sales, subject to a right of reinvestment, and refinancing facilities. The Term Loan Facility amortizes in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1.00% per annum of the original principal amount of the loans funded thereunder. There is no scheduled amortization under the Revolving Credit Facility. Restrictive Covenants and Other Matters The Senior Secured Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that are customary for financings of this type, including covenants that restrict our incurrence of indebtedness, incurrence of liens, dispositions, investments, acquisitions, restricted payments, and transactions with affiliates. The Senior Secured Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, including the occurrence of a change of control. The Revolving Credit Facility also includes a Consolidated Leverage Ratio financial covenant that is tested on the last day of each fiscal quarter. To remain in compliance with the financial covenant, Shoals Intermediate Parent shall not permit the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as of the last day of any quarter, to be greater than 6.50 to 1.00. As of December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all the required covenants.
