Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Amendment of Senior Secured Credit Facilities
On April 29, 2024, Emergent BioSolutions Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Consent, Waiver and Seventh Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Seventh Amendment") (the "Seventh Amendment"), among the Company, as borrower, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent") and certain lenders party thereto. The Seventh Amendment amends the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 15, 2018, among the Company, the lenders party thereto from time to time and the Administrative Agent (as previously amended, modified and supplemented, the "Existing Credit Agreement"), relating to the Company's senior secured credit facilities consisting of a senior revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and a senior term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility" and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the "Senior Secured Credit Facilities").
The Seventh Amendment amends the Existing Credit Agreement to, among other things, (a) reduce available commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility to $270.0 million through July 30, 2024, to $225.0 million from July 31, 2024 through October 30, 2024, and to $200.0 million on October 31, 2024 and thereafter; (b) amend the interest rate benchmark in the definition of Applicable Margin from (i) 5.00% per annum to 7.00% per annum with respect to Base Rate Loans and (ii) 6.50% per annum to 8.50% per annum with respect to SOFR Loans, RFR Loans and Eurocurrency Rate Loans; and (c) require the Company to raise equity or unsecured indebtedness of at least $85.0 million by July 31, 2024 (or such later date on or before September 29, 2024 as agreed to by the Administrative Agent), provided that such requirement will be reduced by the aggregate net cash proceeds received from certain dispositions that are applied to reduce amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.
In addition, pursuant to the Seventh Amendment, the Company is obligated to apply 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received from certain dispositions to the prepayment of amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, except where such proceeds exceed $85,000,000, in which case such mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Credit Facility will no longer be required. Mandatory prepayment of the Term Loan Facility will not be required unless and until the aggregate net proceeds from such dispositions exceed $85,000,000, at which point 100% of such proceeds must be used toward repayment of amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Facility.
Under the Seventh Amendment, the Company is also subject to (a) a monthly minimum consolidated EBITDA covenant through May 15, 2025 and a monthly maximum capital expenditures covenant through March 31, 2025, (b) a minimum liquidity requirement and (c) additional financial statement reporting and business plan forecast obligations. In connection with the entry into the Seventh Amendment, the Company paid an amendment fee of an aggregate mount equal to 0.50% of the total credit exposure as of the Seventh Amendment effective date and will be required to pay an additional amendment fee of 1.0% of total credit exposure at December 31, 2024 and each month thereafter.
The foregoing description of the Seventh Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Seventh Amendment, a copy of which is expected to be filed as an exhibit to Emergent's next Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
