The Company amended its asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Revolving Credit Facility”) on July 11, 2024, by entering into the Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which set the maximum aggregate amount that the Company can borrow pursuant to the revolving credit line at $200.0 million, with borrowings subject to a borrowing base determined primarily by inventory, accounts receivable, machinery and equipment and real estate.
On November 25, 2024, the Company entered into a second amendment to the ABL Revolving Credit Facility which increased the maximum aggregate amount that the Company can borrow pursuant to the ABL Revolving Credit Facility to $220.0 million from $200.0 million. The maturity date of borrowings under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility is July 11, 2027. The Company and the applicable lenders also agreed in a separate first amendment to increase the amount of unsecured indebtedness the Company is permitted to incur under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility, subject to completion of the Convertible Notes offering (discussed below).
Under the terms of the ABL Revolving Credit Facility, the Company pays interest on the unpaid principal amount of the ABL Revolving Credit Facility at a rate equal to SOFR plus a term SOFR adjustment in the amount of 0.10% per annum (which collectively shall be at least 1.00%) plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.75% to 3.25% determined based upon the
Company’s Excess Availability (as defined in the ABL Revolving Credit Facility). The Company is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility on undrawn revolving credit commitments in an amount equal to 0.25% or 0.375% based on the Company’s average excess availability under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility. On March 29, 2025, there was $1.1 million outstanding on the ABL Revolving Credit Facility and there remained $187.1 million available for future borrowings, before our minimum excess availability requirement discussed below. The amount available for future borrowings as of March 29, 2025, is net of a $18.1 million reserve for the damage award relating to the patent infringement dispute in the United Kingdom discussed in Note 13, Legal Proceedings, and $2.3 million in outstanding letters of credit.
Pursuant to the ABL Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is subject to a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1.00. The Company is also required to maintain a minimum excess availability of the greater of 10% of the borrowing base under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility, or $15.0 million. As of March 29, 2025, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
On December 3, 2024, the Company issued $165.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.500% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Convertible Notes”), which amount includes the additional Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the initial purchasers’ full exercise of their option to purchase additional Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.500% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2025. The Convertible Notes will mature on March 15, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The initial conversion rate is 43.6814 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which represent the initial conversion price of $22.89 per share. The Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holders at any time on or after December 15, 2029, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Upon conversion, the Company will satisfy its conversion obligations by paying and/or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at its election. Beginning March 20, 2028, if the Company’s stock price has been at least 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time, the Convertible Notes may be called at the option of the issuer. Under the same conditions, the Company can elect to redeem the Convertible Notes for cash. After the first quarter of 2025, if the Company’s stock price has been at least 130% of the conversion price for 20 of 30 trading days ending on and including the last trading day of the immediately preceding quarter, the Convertible Notes may be called at the option of the holder. The fair value of the Convertible Notes was approximately $228.4 million and $176.9 million as of March 29, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, based on quoted prices for these instruments in active markets, and is classified as a Level 1 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.
Interest expense was approximately $3.2 million and $5.8 million during the three months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively. The Company entered into a $90.0 million Term Loan Facility on January 19, 2023, and paid interest at a rate equal to SOFR (which was required to be at least 2.50%) plus 8.75%. The Company refinanced its credit facilities on July 11, 2024, and repaid in full all outstanding indebtedness under the previous term loan dated January 19, 2023.
Debt issuance cost amortization expense was approximately $0.6 million and $0.8 million during the three months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively. Unamortized deferred debt issuance costs associated with the ABL Revolving Credit Facility ($2.7 million and $3.0 million as of March 29, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively) are recorded within Other Assets and those associated with the Convertible Notes ($6.0 million and $6.3 million as of March 29, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively) are recorded as a reduction of the carrying value of the debt on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.
Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are borrowers under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility and the assets of such subsidiaries also secure the obligations under the ABL Revolving Credit Facility. In the event of voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy of the Company or any subsidiary, all unpaid principal and other amounts owing under the credit facilities automatically become due and payable. Other events of default, such as failure to make payments as they become due and breach of financial and other covenants, change of control, cross default under other material debt agreements, and a going concern qualification for any reason other than loan maturity date give the agent the option to declare all such amounts immediately due and payable.
