Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On December 29, 2021, SPH Group Holdings LLC, Steel Excel Inc. and IGo, Inc. (collectively, the “Borrowers”), each an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Steel Partners Holdings L.P. (the “Company”), amended and restated its Prior Credit Agreement (as defined below) with an amended and restated credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”), with PNC Bank, National Association, in its capacity as administrative agent, the Lenders party thereto, and certain of the Borrowers’ affiliates in their capacities as guarantors (the “Guarantors” and, together with the Borrowers, the “Loan Parties”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the New Credit Agreement.
The New Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $600,000,000 (the “Revolving Credit Loans”), which includes a $50,000,000 subfacility for swing line loans, a $50,000,000 subfacility for standby letters of credit and a currency sublimit (available in euros and pounds sterling) equal to the lesser of $75,000,000 and the total amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment.
The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans under the New Credit Agreement shall be used (i) to refinance existing indebtedness, (ii) for the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the refinancing transaction, and (iii) for general corporate purposes, certain permitted investments, working capital, letters of credit, capital expenditures and permitted acquisitions. The New Credit Agreement also permits the Borrowers, under certain circumstances, to increase the aggregate principal amount of revolving credit commitments under the New Credit Agreement by $300,000,000 plus additional amounts so long as the Leverage Ratio would not exceed 3.50:1.
The New Credit Agreement has a five-year term. Borrowings under the New Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Borrowers and the Guarantors and a pledge of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Loan Party’s subsidiaries, and are fully guaranteed by the Guarantors. Borrowings bear interest, at the Borrowers’ option, at annual rates of either the SOFR Rate or the Term RFR, plus an applicable margin, as set forth in the New Credit Agreement.
The New Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants, including (i) a Leverage Ratio not to exceed 4.25 to 1.00 for quarterly periods as of the end of each fiscal quarter; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, following a Material Acquisition, Borrowers shall not permit the Leverage Ratio, calculated as of the end of each of the four (4) fiscal quarters immediately following such Material Acquisition (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall commence with the fiscal quarter in which such Material Acquisition is consummated), to exceed 4.50 to 1.00 and (ii) an Interest Coverage Ratio, calculated as of the end of each fiscal quarter, not less than 3.00 to 1.00. The New Credit Agreement also contains standard representations, warranties and covenants for a transaction of this nature, including, among other things, covenants relating to (i) financial reporting and notification, (ii) payment of obligations, (iii) compliance with law, (iv) maintenance of insurance and (v) maintenance of properties.
The above description of the New Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the New Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 1.02. | Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement. |

The Prior Credit Agreement provided for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $500,000,000 and a $200,000,000 Term Loan which amortized 5% per year. The revolving credit facility included a $55,000,000 subfacility for swing line loans and a $50,000,000 subfacility for standby letters of credit. The Prior Credit Agreement also contained standard representations, warranties and covenants for a transaction of such nature, including, among other things, covenants relating to (i) financial reporting and notification, (ii) payment of obligations, (iii) compliance with law, (iv) maintenance of insurance and (v) maintenance of properties.
