Item 1.01        Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 16, 2020, Blue Apron Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Financing Agreement (the “New Credit Facility”) among the Company, Blue Apron, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Borrower”), certain other subsidiaries of the Company party thereto as subsidiary guarantors (together with the Company, the “Guarantors”), the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”) and Blue Torch Finance LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders (the “Agent”). The New Credit Facility provides for, among other things, a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $35.0 million (the “Term Loan”). The proceeds of the Term Loan were used, together with cash on hand, to repay the Company’s Old Credit Facility (as defined in Item 1.02 below) and pay fees and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated by the New Credit Facility.

 

Subject to the terms of the New Credit Facility, the Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR (subject to a 1.50% floor) plus 8.00% per annum. The principal amount of the Term Loan will be repayable in equal quarterly installments of $875,000 through December 31, 2022, with the remaining unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan repayable on March 31, 2023.

 

The New Credit Facility provides for a guaranty by the Guarantors of all of the obligations of the Borrower, including the payment when due of all principal, interest, fees, expense reimbursements, indemnifications and all other obligations under the New Credit Facility (collectively, the “Obligations”). In connection with the New Credit Facility, the Borrower and the Guarantors entered into a Security Agreement with the Agent, pursuant to which they each granted to Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, a first priority security interest in, and lien upon, substantially all of the assets and properties now owned or hereinafter acquired by the Borrower and the Guarantors to secure the Obligations.

 

The New Credit Facility contains customary representations, warranties, affirmative and negative covenants (including financial covenants), and indemnification provisions in favor of the Agent and the Lenders. The financial covenants include a minimum liquidity covenant and a covenant requiring the Borrower to maintain a minimum Subscription Count (as defined in the New Credit Facility). The negative covenants include restrictions on the ability to, among other things, incur liens and indebtedness, sell assets, make dividends or other distributions, enter into transactions with affiliates, or make loans or investments, in each case, subject to certain exceptions. The New Credit Facility also includes certain customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, representation or warranty inaccuracies, covenant violations, cross-defaults to other agreements evidencing indebtedness for borrowed money, invalidity of certain loan documents relating to the New Credit Facility, certain judgments, bankruptcy and insolvency events and the occurrence of events constituting a change of control. The Borrower will be required to make mandatory prepayments under certain circumstances, and will have the option to make prepayments under the New Credit Facility, in each case subject to certain prepayment premiums. The Lenders are entitled to accelerate repayment of all or any portion of the Term Loan then outstanding upon the occurrence, and in certain instances the continuance, of any events of default under the New Credit Facility. In connection with the execution of the New Credit Facility, the Borrower paid customary fees and expenses to the Agent and the Lenders.

 

The foregoing description of the New Credit Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the New Credit Facility, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

Item 1.02        Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
