Note 8 – Debt

On April 19, 2021, the Company entered into a Financing Agreement with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”), which consists of a $212,000 senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”, and the loans thereunder, each a “Term Loan” and, together, the “Term Loans”). The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by XPO Holdings and certain of the Company’s material subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of the assets of XPO Holdings and certain of the Company’s material subsidiaries.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to make: (i) monthly payments of interest on the Term Loans and (ii) quarterly principal payments equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Term Loans. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at a per annum rate of, at the Company’s option, either (a) the term secured overnight financing rate (“Term SOFR”) plus a Term SOFR Adjustment (as defined in the Credit Agreement per the fifth amendment), plus a margin of 6.50% or (b) the Reference Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 5.50% (12.09% at March 31, 2024).

The Credit Agreement also contains mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans with: (i) 50% of XPO Holdings’ and its subsidiaries’ Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to certain exceptions; (ii) 100% of the net proceeds of certain asset sales and insurance/condemnation events, subject to reinvestment rights and certain other exceptions; (iii) 100% of the net proceeds of certain extraordinary receipts, subject to reinvestment rights and certain other exceptions; (iv) 100% of the net proceeds of any incurrence of debt, excluding certain permitted debt issuances; and (v) up to $60,000 of net proceeds in connection with an initial public offering of at least $200,000, subject to certain exceptions.

Unless agreed in advance, all voluntary prepayments and certain mandatory prepayments of the Term Loan made (i) on or prior to the first anniversary of the closing date are subject to a 2.0% premium on the principal amount of such prepayment and (ii) after the first anniversary of the closing date and on or prior to the second anniversary of the closing date are subject to a 0.50% premium on the principal amount of such prepayment. Otherwise, the Term Loans may be paid without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs with respect to SOFR Term Loans.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things: (i) to maintain certain total leverage ratios, liquidity levels and EBITDA levels; (ii) to use the proceeds of borrowings only for certain specified purposes; (iii) to refrain from entering into certain agreements outside of the ordinary course of business, including with respect to consolidation or mergers; (iv) restricting further indebtedness or liens; (v) restricting certain transactions with affiliates; (vi) restricting investments; (vii) restricting prepayments of subordinated indebtedness; (viii) restricting certain payments, including certain payments to affiliates or equity holders and distributions to equity holders; and (ix) restricting the issuance of equity. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, which could result in acceleration of amounts due under the Credit Agreement. Such events of default include, subject to the grace periods specified therein, failure to pay principal or interest when due, failure to satisfy or comply with covenants, a change of control, the imposition of certain judgments and the invalidation of liens the Company has granted.

On January 9, 2023, the Company entered into a fourth amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. In connection with the Fourth Amendment, the Company wrote off a pro rata portion of debt issuance costs related to the Term Loans aggregating $265, which was included in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

On February 13, 2024, the Company entered into a sixth amendment (the “Sixth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Sixth Amendment provides for, among other things, additional term loans in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $38,701, with an original issue discount of $4,059, (the “Sixth Amendment Incremental Term Loans”), the original issue discount was paid-in-kind by increasing the principal amount of the Credit Agreement. The proceeds of the Sixth Amendment were used to repay an aggregate of $38,701 in existing term loans under the Credit Agreement and for the payment of fees, costs and expenses related to the making of the Sixth Amendment Incremental Term Loans. The Sixth Amendment, among other things, also (i) increased the amount of the quarterly principal payments of the loans provided pursuant to the Credit Agreement (including the Sixth Amendment Incremental Term Loans) commencing on June 30, 2024 to $1,287 and (ii) extended the maturity date for all outstanding term loans under the Credit Agreement to March 15, 2026.

In connection with the Sixth Amendment, the Company wrote off a pro rata portion of debt issuance costs related to the Term Loans of $23 and wrote off original issue discount of $452 related to the repayment of a portion of the Term Loans, which were included in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $269 and $115 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Debt issuance cost amortization and write off amounted to $72 and $283 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Unamortized debt issuance costs as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, were $415 and $218, respectively, and are presented as a reduction to long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Unamortized original issue discount as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, was $7,013 and $4,279, respectively, and is presented as a reduction to long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximated fair value as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, due to the variable interest rate, which is a Level 2 input, or proximity of debt issuance date to the balance sheet date.
