Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 25, 2015, Orchids Paper Products Company (the “Company” or “Orchids”) entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 25, 2015 (the “Credit Agreement”), with U.S. Bank National Association, as administrative agent, lead arranger and sole book runner (“U.S. Bank”), the lenders named therein, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as documentation agent.  The $187.3 million Credit Agreement includes the following provisions:

 

·a $25 million revolving credit line due June 2020;

  

·a $47.3 million term loan with a 5-year term due June 2020 and payable in quarterly installments of $675,000 through June 2016 and $1 million per quarter thereafter;

 

·a $115 million delayed draw term loan with a 2-year draw period due June 2020 and payable in quarterly installments beginning in September 2017 of 1.5% of the June 30, 2017 outstanding balance; and

 

·an accordion feature allowing the revolving credit line and/or delayed draw commitment under the Credit Agreement to be increased by up to $50 million at any time on or before the expiration date of the Credit Agreement.

 

The Credit Agreement has the effect of (i) combining the Company’s existing $20 million revolving line of credit designated for the purchase and construction of a paper machine and converting line in Pryor, OK and $27.3 million currently outstanding under the Company’s existing term loan into a $47.3 million term loan, (ii) increasing the delayed draw facility from $40 million to $115 million, (iii) extending the maturity of the delayed draw facility from August 2015 to June 2020, and (iv) adding a $50 million accordion feature. Proceeds from the delayed draw term loan must be utilized solely to finance the purchase and installation of new equipment and construction at the Company’s Barnwell, South Carolina facility.

 

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, amounts outstanding will bear interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus a specified margin, or the base rate plus a specified margin, at the Company’s option. The specified margin is based on the Company’s quarterly Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement.  The following table outlines the specified margins and the commitment fees payable under the Credit Agreement:

 

   LIBOR   Base   Commitment 
Leverage Ratio  Margin   Margin   Fee 
Less than 1.00   1.25%   0.00%   0.15%
Greater than or equal to 1.00 but less than 2.00   1.50%   0.00%   0.20%
Greater than or equal to 2.00 but less than 3.00   1.75%   0.00%   0.25%
Greater than or equal to 3.00 but less than 3.50   2.25%   0.00%   0.30%
Greater than or equal to 3.50   2.50%   0.25%   0.35%

 

The amount available under the revolving credit line may be reduced in the event that the Company’s borrowing base, which is based upon qualified receivables and qualified inventory, is less than $25 million.

 

Obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.  The Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type, including, but not limited to, limitations on additional borrowings, additional investments and asset sales.  The financial covenants, which are tested as of the end of each fiscal quarter, require the Company to maintain the following specific ratios: fixed charge coverage (minimum of 1.20 to 1.0) and leverage (maximum of 4.00 to 1.0 through June 2017; maximum of 3.75 to 1.0 on September 30, 2017; maximum of 3.50 to 1.0 on December 31, 2017, and thereafter).
