On December 14, 2018, Heritage Insurance Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), as borrower, entered into a five-year, $125 million credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company from time to time party thereto as guarantors, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), Regions Bank, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, BMO Harris Bank N.A., as Syndication Agent, Hancock Whitney Bank and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as Co-Documentation Agents, and Regions Capital Markets and BMO Capital Markets Corp., as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the participating Lenders agreed to provide (1) a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $75 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (2) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $50 million (inclusive of a $5 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $10 million sublimit for swingline loans) (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”).

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Credit Facilities and the Advance described in Item 2.03 below (1) to redeem all $79,500,000 outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Senior Notes due 2023, (2) to purchase certain of its outstanding 5.875% Convertible Notes due 2037 (“the Convertible Notes”), as described in Item 3.02 below, and (3) for general corporate purposes.

Interest Rate and Fees

At the Company’s option, borrowings under the Credit Facilities will bear interest at rates equal to either (1) a rate determined by reference to LIBOR (based on one, two, three or six-month interest periods), adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, plus an applicable margin (equal to 3.25% as of the Closing Date) or (2) a base rate determined by reference to the greatest of (a) the “prime rate” of Regions Bank, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, and (c) the LIBOR index rate applicable for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin (equal to 2.25% as of the Closing Date).

The applicable margin for loans under the Credit Facilities varies from 3.25% per annum to 3.75% per annum (for LIBOR loans) and 2.25% to 2.75% per annum (for base rate loans) based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. Interest payments with respect to the Credit Facilities are required either on a quarterly basis (for base rate loans) or at the end of each interest period (for LIBOR loans) or, if the duration of the applicable interest period exceeds three months, then every three months.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, which is determined by the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio.

Maturity and Amortization

Each of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility mature on December 14, 2023. The principal amount of the Term Loan Facility amortizes in quarterly installments, beginning with the close of the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2019, in an amount equal to $1,875,000 per quarter, payable monthly or quarterly, with the balance payable at maturity.

The Company may prepay the loans under the Credit Facilities, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions including minimum amounts and reimbursement of certain costs in the case of prepayments of LIBOR loans. In addition, the Company is required to prepay the loan under the Term Loan Facility with the proceeds from certain financing transactions, involuntary dispositions or asset sales (subject, in the case of asset sales, to reinvestment rights).

Guarantees

All obligations under the Credit Facilities are or will be guaranteed by each existing and future direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiary of the Company, other than all of the Company’s current and future regulated insurance subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”).

Security

The Company and the Guarantors entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2018 (the “Security Agreement”), in favor of Regions Bank, as collateral agent.
