As of December 31, 2023, there were deferred financing costs on our revolving credit facility totaling $3.4 million included in “other non-current assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Revolving Credit Facility and Term Credit Facility
On October 16, 2023, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility and a term credit facility (each as defined below), which refinanced in full the Company’s indebtedness outstanding under, and terminated, the amended and restated revolving credit facility, dated as of October 19, 2018, as amended (the “previous revolving credit facility”), with us and certain of our direct and indirect subsidiaries, as borrowers, the lenders party thereto from time to time, and PNC Bank, National Association, as a lender and as administrative agent for the lenders.
On October 16, 2023, the Company, as borrower, and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a revolving credit agreement with the lenders party thereto and Fifth Third Bank, National Association, as a lender and as administrative agent for the lenders, as may be subsequently amended (the “revolving credit facility”). The revolving credit facility provides for revolving commitments in an aggregate amount of up to $75 million. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are secured by the Company’s assets, inclusive of the subsidiary companies, and are subject to a borrowing base calculation prepared monthly which includes a requirement to maintain certain reserves as specified in the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility also contains various affirmative and restrictive covenants. Interest under the revolving credit facility equals the Tranche Rate (as defined in the revolving credit facility) plus (i) 1.75%, if the Average Excess Availability Percentage (as defined in the revolving credit facility) is greater than 66 2/3%, (ii) 2.00% if the Average Excess Availability Percentage is greater than 33 1/3% and less than or equal to 66 2/3%, and (iii) 2.25% if the Average Excess Availability Percentage is less than or equal to 33 1/3%.
As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the financial covenant under the revolving credit facility was the fixed coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 which applies only during the period from the date that excess availability under the revolving credit facility is less than the greater of (i) 10% of total availability under the revolving credit facility and (ii) $5 million until the date in which the excess availability is equal to the greater of (i) 10% of excess availability and (ii) $5 million for 30 consecutive days (such period, a “Financial Covenant Period”). A Financial Covenant Period was not in effect as of each of December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and the filing date of this report.
At December 31, 2024, the revolving credit facility was undrawn, the borrowing base was $25.2 million, and there was $17.7 million of borrowing capacity under the facility, after giving effect to $7.5 million of outstanding letters of credit. At December 31, 2023, the revolving credit facility was undrawn, the borrowing base was $27.0 million, and there was $20.7 million of borrowing capacity under the facility, after giving effect to $6.3 million of outstanding letters of credit.
On October 16, 2024, the Company entered into (i) an amendment to the revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) and (ii) a letter of credit reimbursement agreement (the “Reimbursement Agreement”), each with Fifth Third Bank. The Credit Agreement Amendment, among other things, permits the transactions contemplated by the Reimbursement Agreement, including the issuance of one or more letters of credit to satisfy Cobra’s obligations under the Settlement Agreement relating to one or more indemnity letters of credit. The aggregate amount of all such letters of credit shall not exceed $18.4 million. Under the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement, the Company agreed to hold cash funds totaling at least 105% of the stated amount of all letters of credit in an account maintained by Fifth Third Bank and to which Fifth Third Bank has a first priority security interest.
On October 18, 2024, Cobra received a payment from PREPA totaling $18.4 million under the terms of the Settlement Agreement. In connection with the receipt of the $18.4 million from PREPA, Cobra instructed Fifth Third Bank to issue a letter of credit to PREPA under the Reimbursement Agreement in the amount of $18.4 million and transferred a total of $19.3 million to a restricted cash account maintained by Fifth Third Bank as collateral for the letter of credit.
On October 16, 2023, the Company, as borrower, and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, as guarantors, also entered into a loan and security agreement with the lenders party thereto and Wexford Capital LP, an affiliate of the Company, as administrative agent for the lenders (“Wexford”), as may be subsequently amended (the “term credit facility”). The term credit facility was approved by the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors, consisting entirely of independent directors, as a transaction with a related party. The term credit facility provided for term commitments in an aggregate amount equal to $45 million. Borrowings under the term credit facility were secured by the Company’s assets, inclusive of the subsidiary companies. The term credit facility contained various affirmative and restrictive covenants. Interest under the term credit facility equaled the Interest Rate (as defined in the new term credit facility) plus 7.50%; provided that the Company may elect to pay all or a portion of the accrued interest due with respect to any Interest Period (as defined in the new term credit facility) ending on or before April 16, 2025, in kind by adding such accrued interest to the principal amount of the outstanding loans thereunder.
In particular, under the term credit facility, the Company was required, among other things, to mandatorily remit to Wexford up to 50% of all amounts that constitute PREPA Claim Proceeds, as such term is defined in the term credit facility, which was used to reduce outstanding borrowings under the term credit facility, as required under the terms thereof. Wexford waived this requirement in connection with the Assignment Agreement and the $9.6 million received by Cobra from PREPA in February 2024.
At December 31, 2023, there were outstanding borrowings, including interest paid-in-kind, under the term credit facility of $45.0 million. In connection with the receipt of the first installment amount under the Settlement Agreement on October 1, 2024, the Company paid, in full, all amounts owed under the term credit facility, including the accrued and unpaid interest, in the aggregate amount of $50.9 million, and terminated the facility on October 2, 2024. In connection with the payoff of the term credit facility, Wexford waived the 1% early termination penalty.
If an event of default occurs under the revolving credit facility and remains uncured, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. The lenders, as applicable, (i) would not be required to lend any additional amounts to the Company, (ii) could elect to increase the interest rate by 200 basis points, (iii) could elect to declare all outstanding borrowings, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees, to be due and payable, (iv) may have the ability to require the Company to apply all of its available cash to repay outstanding borrowings, and (v) may foreclose on substantially all of the Company’s assets. The revolving credit facility is currently scheduled to mature on October 16, 2028.
