Term loans and lines of credit
On January 6, 2021, Halo, Purely for Pets, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Better Choice Company Inc. ("Halo") entered into a credit facility with Old Plank Trail Community Bank, N.A., an affiliate of Wintrust Bank, N.A. (“Wintrust”) consisting of a $6.0 million term loan and a $6.0 million revolving line of credit, each scheduled to mature on January 6, 2024 and each bore interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 250 basis points, with an interest rate floor of 2.50% per annum (the "Wintrust Credit Facility"). The Second Wintrust Amendment described below updated the rate at which the Wintrust Credit Facility bears interest to the greater of the daily Federal Funds Rate plus 285 basis points, or the interest rate floor, which remained unchanged. Accrued interest on the Wintrust Credit Facility is payable monthly which commenced on February 1, 2021. Principal payments are required to be made monthly on the term loan commencing February 2021 with a balloon payment upon maturity. The proceeds from the Wintrust Credit Facility were used (i) to repay outstanding principal, interest and fees under the previous revolving line of credit with Citizens Business Bank (the "ABL Facility") and (ii) for general corporate purposes. Debt issuance costs of $0.1 million were incurred related to the Wintrust Credit Facility.
The Wintrust Credit Facility subjected the Company to certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of a fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.25 to 1.00, tested as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The numerator in the fixed charge coverage ratio was the operating cash flow of Halo, defined as Halo EBITDA less cash paid for unfinanced Halo capital expenditures, income taxes and dividends. The denominator was fixed charges such as interest expense and principal payments paid or payable on other indebtedness attributable to Halo. As of December 31, 2021, the Company failed to satisfy the fixed charge coverage ratio and entered into a default waiver agreement with Wintrust in which Wintrust waived the existing default through the next testing date, March 31, 2022. In addition, as part of the Second Wintrust Amendment described below, the financial covenants were amended to subject the Company to a minimum liquidity covenant test in lieu of a fixed charge coverage ratio which requires the Company to maintain liquidity, tested on the last day of each fiscal quarter beginning March 31, 2022, of no less than (i) $13.0 million as of the last day of each fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022, through and including the last day of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022 and (ii) $12.0 million as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023, and as of the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter.
The Wintrust Credit Facility is secured by a general guaranty and security interest on the assets, including the intellectual property, of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company has also pledged all of the capital stock of Halo held by the Company as additional collateral. Furthermore, the Wintrust Credit Facility was supported by a collateral pledge by a member of the Company’s board of directors; as a result of the First Wintrust Amendment described below, this collateral pledge was terminated and released.
On August 13, 2021, Halo entered into the first amendment to the Wintrust Credit Facility (the “First Wintrust Amendment”) to increase the revolving line of credit from $6.0 million to $7.5 million. The First Wintrust Amendment also required Halo to secure the credit facility with a pledge of a deposit account in the amount of $7.2 million, which was decreased to $6.9 million on January 1, 2022 and will be further decreased to $6.0 million on January 1, 2023. Additionally, on March 25, 2022, the Company entered into the second amendment to the Wintrust Credit Facility (the "Second Wintrust Amendment") which provided for the release of the Company's Bona Vida subsidiary as a guarantor, an update to the financial covenants as described above and an update to the rate at which the Wintrust Credit Facility bears interest, which is also described above.
As of June 30, 2022, the term loan and line of credit outstanding under the Wintrust Credit Facility were $5.0 million and $7.4 million, respectively, net of debt issuance costs of less than $0.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the term loan and line of credit outstanding were $5.4 million and $4.9 million, respectively, net of debt issuance costs of less than $0.1 million, respectively. Debt issuance costs are amortized using the effective interest method. The carrying amount for the Company’s term loan and line of credit approximate fair value as the instruments have variable interest rates that approximate market rates.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenant requirements and there were no events of default.
