Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On November 12, 2018, Teligent, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a commitment letter with Ares Management LLC (“Ares”) pursuant to which Ares (together with its affiliates, “Ares”) committed to provide new senior secured credit facilities (collectively, the “New Senior Credit Facilities”) to the Company in an aggregate amount up to $120.0 million.
The New Senior Credit Facilities would consist of (i) a $25.0 million senior revolving credit facility (the “New Revolver”); (ii) a $10.0 million second lien initial term loan (the “New Initial Term Loan”); (iii) a $70.0 million second lien delayed draw term loan A (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan A”) and (iv) a $15.0 million second lien delayed drawn term loan B (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan B” and, together with the Delayed Draw Term Loan A, the “Delayed Draw Term Loans” and, together with the New Initial Term Loan, the “New Term Loans”). The Company’s ability to borrow under the New Revolver would be subject to a “borrowing base” to be determined based on eligible inventory, eligible equipment, eligible real estate and eligible receivables.
The New Revolver would mature on the earlier to occur of (a) six months prior to the maturity of the Company’s outstanding 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) and (b) five years from the closing date. The New Initial Term Loan would mature on the earlier to occur of (a) three months prior to the maturity of the 2023 Notes and (b) 5.5 years from the closing date. Commitments related to undrawn amounts of the Delayed Draw Term Loan A would terminate on June 30, 2019, and drawn amounts under the Delayed Draw Term Loan A would mature at the same time as the New Initial Term Loan. Commitments related to undrawn amounts of the Delayed Draw Term Loan B would terminate one year from the closing date, and drawn amounts under the Delayed Draw Term Loan B would mature at the same time as the New Initial Term Loan.
The proceeds from the New Senior Credit Facilities would be used for, among other things, the refinancing of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness, including repayment of all borrowings under the Credit Agreement, dated as of June 1, 2018, among the Company, as the borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company, each as a guarantor, the lenders party thereto, and Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, as administrative agent (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), the redemption of the Company’s outstanding 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”), a construction project at the Company’s Buena, New Jersey facility, working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.
Interest and Fees. The interest rate under the New Revolver would be calculated, at the option of the Company, at either the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (or LIBOR) or the base rate, in each case, plus 2.75%. The interest rate on the New Term Loans would be calculated, at the option of the Company, at either LIBOR plus 8.75% or the base rate plus 7.75%. Interest on the New Senior Credit Facilities would be payable in cash except that interest on the New Term Loans would be payable, at the option of the Company, in cash or in kind by being added to the principal balance thereof, until the earlier of the second anniversary of closing of the New Senior Credit Facilities and the date the Company has provided the lenders of the New Senior Credit Facilities financial statements demonstrating that the Company has attained twelve months of revenue of at least $125 million. A commitment fee of 1.0% per annum would be payable quarterly in arrears on the unused portion of the Delayed Draw Term Loans.
Amortization and Prepayment. The New Senior Credit Facilities would not be subject to amortization prior to maturity. Amounts drawn under the New Revolver could be prepaid at the option of the Company without premium or penalty, subject in the case of acceleration of the New Revolver or termination of the revolving credit commitments thereunder to certain call protections which would vary depending on the time at which such prepayments would be made. Amounts drawn under the New Revolver would be subject to mandatory prepayment to the extent that aggregate extensions under the New Revolver would exceed the lesser of the revolving credit commitment then in effect and the borrowing base then in effect. Amounts outstanding under the New Term Loans could be prepaid at the option of the Company subject to applicable premiums, including a make-whole premium, and certain call protections which would vary depending on the time at which such prepayments were made. Amounts outstanding under the New Term Loans would be subject to mandatory prepayment upon the occurrence of certain events and conditions, including non-ordinary course asset dispositions, receipt of insurance proceeds, issuances of certain debt obligations and a change of control transaction.
Guarantees and Collateral. The New Senior Credit Facilities would be guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. The New Revolver and related obligations would be secured by a first priority security interest in and lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors (the “Collateral”), subject to certain exceptions. The New Term Loans and related obligations would be secured by a second priority security interest in the Collateral, subject to certain exceptions.
Covenants and Other Provisions. The New Senior Credit Facilities would also contain customary borrowing conditions, affirmative, negative and reporting covenants, representations and warranties, and events of default, including cross-defaults on other material indebtedness, as well as events of default triggered by a change of control and certain actions initiated by the federal Food and Drug Administration. In addition, the Company would also be required to comply with certain financial covenants during periods to be agreed by the Company and Ares consisting of a minimum revenue test, a minimum adjusted EBITDA test and a maximum total net leverage ratio. If an event of default were to occur, the lenders of the New Revolver would be entitled to take enforcement actions, including foreclosure on Collateral and acceleration of amounts owed under the New Revolver, and the lenders under the New Term Loans would be entitled to take such actions, subject to any limitations set forth in an intercreditor agreement with respect to the New Term Loans.
In connection with the termination of the Existing Credit Agreement, the Company expects to incur prepayment fees of $0.5 million and other related costs during the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The Company also expects to incur additional costs and expenses in connection with the repurchase of the 2019 Notes.
The closing of the New Senior Credit Facilities is subject to certain closing conditions. The Company currently anticipates that, subject to the satisfaction of such conditions, the closing of the New Senior Credit Facilities will occur on or prior to December 31, 2018. However, the Company cannot provide assurance that the closing will occur within such timeframe or on the terms summarized herein, if at all.
On November 13, 2018, the Company issued a press release with respect to the commitment letter related to the New Senior Credit Facilities, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
The foregoing summary of the terms of the commitment letter and the New Senior Credit Facilities do not purport to be complete descriptions and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the full text of the commitment letter, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and incorporated herein by reference.
