On March 7, 2016, Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement with Credit Suisse as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Restated Credit Agreement”), amending its existing senior secured credit facility with Credit Suisse (the “Restated Credit Facility”). The Restated Credit Facility provides for the Company’s existing $175.0 million senior secured first lien term loan facility and a new $45.0 million senior secured incremental revolving credit facility, which includes a $5.0 million letter of credit subfacility. The Company’s obligations under the Restated Credit Facility are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company.

 

Borrowings under the term loan facility will continue to bear interest at an adjusted ICE Benchmark administration LIBO Rate (subject to a floor of 1.00%) plus a spread of 4.50%. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility will bear interest at an adjusted ICE Benchmark administration LIBO Rate plus a spread of 4.00%, or, at the option of the Company, an alternative base rate plus a spread of 3.00%. We are also required to pay a 0.5% annual commitment fee on undrawn amounts under the revolving credit facility.

 

The Restated Credit Agreement contains the same financial and operational covenants as the original credit agreement.

 

The revolving credit facility will mature on May 8, 2020, whereas the term loan facility matures on May 8, 2021. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes and related fees and expenses. As of March 7, 2016, the Company has no borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

 

The foregoing description of the Restated Credit Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Restated Credit Agreement, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

 

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
