Item 8.01  Other Events
On February 23, 2021, HC2 Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), and certain of its subsidiaries (the "Guarantors") that guarantee the Borrower's Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the "Secured Notes") entered into a third amendment (the "Amendment") to the Borrower's Credit Agreement, dated as of March 13, 2020 (as in effect prior to the Amendment, the "Credit Agreement" and, as amended by the Amendment, the "Amended Credit Agreement"), with MSD PCOF Partners IX, LLC, as lender, which governs the Borrower's senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility").
Among other things, the Amendment (i) increases the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Facility to $20,000,000, (ii) extends the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility to February 23, 2024, (iii) updates the affirmative and negative covenants contained in the Amended Credit Agreement so that they are substantially consistent with the affirmative and negative covenants contained in the indenture that governs the Secured Notes and (iv) reduces the interest rate margin applicable to loans borrowed under the Amended Credit Agreement to the interest rate margins described below. Except as modified by the Amendment, the terms of the Credit Agreement remain in effect.
The Borrower intends to use the proceeds of loans under the Amended Credit Agreement for general corporate purposes.  Any amounts borrowed under the Amended Credit Agreement and subsequently voluntarily repaid
may be re-borrowed until maturity or termination. Loans under the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to, at the Borrower's option, one, two or three month LIBOR, plus a margin of 5.75%. In certain circumstances, such amounts may be converted into borrowings bearing interest at a per annum rate equal to a base rate, plus a margin of 4.75%.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary provisions for the replacement of LIBOR.
The Borrower is required to pay an undrawn commitment fee at a per annum rate equal to 1.00% of the undrawn portion of the commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement computed on a daily basis for the applicable period.
All obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by the same collateral that secures the Secured Notes and constitute "First-Out Debt", "First-Out Obligations" and "Pari Passu Obligations" under the indenture governing the Secured Notes and the related collateral trust agreement to the extent permitted thereunder. The obligations of the Borrower under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Guarantors, which are the same subsidiaries of the Borrower that guarantee the Borrower's obligations with respect to the Secured Notes.
