On March 20, 2020, Callaway Golf Company (the “Company”) entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of May 17, 2019 (as amended prior to the Second Amendment, the “Loan Agreement”) among the Company, Callaway Golf Sales Company, Callaway Golf Ball Operations, Inc., Ogio International, Inc., travisMathew, LLC, Jack Wolfskin North America, Inc., Callaway Golf Canada Ltd., JACK WOLFSKIN Ausrüstung für Draussen GmbH & Co. KGaA, Callaway Golf Europe Ltd., Callaway Golf Interactive, Inc., Callaway Golf International Sales Company, Callaway Golf European Holding Company Limited, Callaway Germany Holdco GmbH, JW STARGAZER Holding GmbH, SKYRAGER GmbH, Jack Wolfskin Retail GmbH, Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and certain financial institutions as lenders. The Second Amendment provides for a new term loan credit facility of up to $30 million (the “Term Loan Facility”).
Loans under the Term Loan Facility (“Term Loans”) bear interest at the spread for the Company’s existing asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Existing Revolver”), plus 250 basis points, such that the applicable margin for Term Loans ranges from 4.00% when the availability ratio is greater than or equal to 67%, to 4.25% when the availability ratio is less than 67% but greater than or equal to 33%, to 4.50% when the availability ratio is less than 33%. The Term Loans may be borrowed until September 30, 2020. The Term Loan Facility matures on the earlier of (i) the three year anniversary of the making of the Term Loans and (ii) the maturity of the Existing Revolver. The Term Loan Facility amortizes over on a quarterly basis in an amount equal to $2,500,000, commencing on the first day of the fiscal quarter immediately following the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2020 (or the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2020 if the Term Loan is made after June 30, 2020).
At any time when any Term Loans are outstanding, the Company must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.1 to 1.0. At any time when there are no Term Loans outstanding, the fixed charge coverage ratio test returns to a springing test based on availability (as currently constituted).
At any time when any Term Loans are outstanding, the Company is not permitted to use the $20 million distributions basket. Additionally, in the current version of the Loan Agreement, the $20 million cap on distributions has exceptions to the cap if (i) pro-forma net excess availability is greater than 15% of the maximum facility amount for the 30 days prior to the distribution, net excess availability is greater than 15% of the maximum facility amount after giving effect to the distribution and the fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 1.0 to 1.0 after giving effect to the distribution and (ii) pro-forma average daily net excess availability is greater than 20% of the maximum facility amount for the 90 days prior to the distribution and net excess availability is greater than 20% of the maximum facility amount after giving effect to the distribution. The Second Amendment prohibits usage of the foregoing clause (ii) at any time when any Term Loans are outstanding.
At any time when any Term Loans are outstanding, the Company is not permitted to use the $30 million investments basket. Additionally, in the current version of the Loan Agreement, the $30 million cap on investments has exceptions to the cap if (i) pro-forma net excess availability is greater than 15% of the maximum facility amount for the 30 days prior to the investment, net excess availability is greater than 15% of the maximum facility amount after giving effect to the investment and the fixed charge coverage ratio is at least 1.0 to 1.0 after giving effect to the investment and (ii) pro-forma average daily net excess availability is greater than 20% of the maximum facility amount for the 90 days prior to the investment and net excess availability is greater than 20% of the maximum facility amount after giving effect to the investment. The Second Amendment prohibits usage of both of the foregoing clauses at any time when any Term Loans are outstanding, other than investments in Topgolf International, Inc. pursuant to clause (i).
