Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 30, 2020, REV Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Fifth Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Term Loan and Guaranty Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and among the Company, as Borrower, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, Ally Bank, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and the other lenders and agents party thereto. Among other things, the Amendment eliminates the requirement for quarterly compliance with the net leverage ratio covenant test and replaces it with an updated fixed charge coverage ratio test minimum of 1.25x through the end of fiscal 2020. At the end of the fiscal 2021 first quarter, the Agreement’s fixed charge coverage ratio will revert to a quarterly net leverage ratio test of less than 5.25x, which will be reduced by 0.25x each fiscal quarter thereafter until it reaches 4.25x by the end of the fiscal 2022 first quarter. The Amendment also (i) changes the definition of “EBITDA” to account for certain cost synergies in connection with the Company’s recently completed acquisition of Spartan Emergency Response from Spartan Motors, Inc. and (ii) imposes certain additional limitations on the Company’s ability to repurchase its common stock, declare or pay dividends on its common stock or make other restricted payments.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

FIFTH AMENDMENT

TO

TERM LOAN AND GUARANTY AGREEMENT

This Fifth Amendment to Term Loan and Guaranty Agreement (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of April 29, 2020, by and among REV GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), certain Subsidiaries of the Borrower, as Guarantor Subsidiaries, the Lenders (as defined in Section 1.1 of the Term Loan Agreement (as defined below)) party hereto, ALLY BANK (“Ally”), as Administrative Agent (together with its permitted successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and as Collateral Agent (together with its permitted successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”).

BACKGROUND

The Borrower, the Guarantor Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders are parties to a Term Loan and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of April 25, 2017 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Term Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which the Lenders provided the Borrower with certain financial accommodations.

The Borrower has requested that the Lenders amend the Term Loan Agreement, all on the terms hereafter set forth, and Lenders are willing to do so on the terms and conditions hereafter set forth.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of any loan or advance or grant of credit heretofore or hereafter made to or for the account of the Borrower under the Term Loan Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.             Definitions. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Term Loan Agreement.

2.             Amendments.

(a)           The definition of “Applicable Margin” appearing in Section 1.1 of the Term Loan Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as set forth below:

““Applicable Margin” means a percentage per annum equal to (x) at all times prior to the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, in the case of Term Loans maintained as (A) Base Rate Loans, 2.50%, and (B) Eurodollar Rate Loans, 3.50%, (y) at all times on and after the Fifth Amendment Effective Date and until the first Business Day that immediately follows the date on which a Compliance Certificate is delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(d) in respect of the fiscal quarter ending January 31, 2021, in the case of Term Loans maintained as (A) Base Rate Loans, 3.25%, and (B) Eurodollar Rate Loans, 4.25% and (z) thereafter, the applicable percentage per annum set forth below, as determined by reference to the Secured Leverage Ratio, as set forth in the most recent Compliance Certificate received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.1(d):

Any increase or decrease in the Applicable Margin resulting from a change in the Secured Leverage Ratio shall become effective as of the first Business Day immediately following the date a Compliance Certificate is delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(d); provided, however, that “Pricing Level 1” for the table set forth above shall apply without regard to the Secured Leverage Ratio at any time after the date on which any annual or quarterly financial statement was required to have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(b) or Section 5.1(c) but was not delivered (or the Compliance Certificate related to such financial statements was required to have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(d) but was not delivered), commencing with the first Business Day immediately following such date and continuing until the first Business Day immediately following the date on which such financial statements (or, if later, the Compliance Certificate related to such financial statements) are delivered. If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the Borrower’s financial statements or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Secured Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of such ratio would have resulted in higher interest for any period, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and with any such demand by the Administrative Agent being excused), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest actually paid for such period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) to the extent required by Section 2.23(b) in connection with any Incremental Term Facility, each of the Applicable Margins shall be increased as required by Section 2.23(b), and (ii) from and after the Extension, with respect to any Extended Loans, the Applicable Margins specified for such Extended Loans shall be those specified in the applicable definitive documentation thereof.”

(b)           The definition of “Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Term Loan Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating the last sentence thereof to read in its entirety as set forth below:

(c)           The definition of “Consolidated Net Income” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Term Loan Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following sentence at the end thereof:

the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Credit Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

In the event a covered entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Credit Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Credit Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.”

NEWS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

REV GROUP, INC. ANNOUNCES FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS UPDATES RELATED TO COVID-19

Milwaukee, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE) -- REV Group, Inc. (NYSE: REVG), a manufacturer of industry-leading specialty vehicles, announced today that it has obtained financial covenant relief requested under an amendment to the Company’s existing $175 million Term Loan Agreement (“Agreement”) and provided an update on Recreation manufacturing operations.

Effective April 30, 2020, the Company’s amended Agreement eliminates the requirement for quarterly compliance with the net leverage ratio covenant test and replaces it with an updated fixed charge coverage ratio test minimum of 1.25x through the end of fiscal 2020. At the end of the fiscal 2021 first quarter, the Agreement’s fixed charge coverage ratio will revert to a quarterly net leverage ratio test of less than 5.25x, which will be reduced by 0.25x each fiscal quarter thereafter until it reaches 4.25x by the end of the fiscal 2022 first quarter.

“This amendment further solidifies our liquidity position to address the current economic environment. We believe we are now very well situated to take advantage of our market leading position as the U.S. economy begins to re-open and recover,” stated Rod Rushing, REV Group, Inc. President and Chief Executive Officer. “Today we are also excited to announce our plan to return to normal production at our four RV facilities in Indiana and California after a temporary suspension began in late March.”

Production and delivery activities commenced during the weeks of April 20th and 27th at Midwest Automotive Design and Renegade RV, respectively. Under current conditions, production of American Coach, Fleetwood RV and Holiday Rambler motorhomes are scheduled to begin on May 4^th. Lance Camper, located in Lancaster, CA, has a tentative restart date of May 18^th. Production at each facility is scheduled to grow at a pace commensurate with material availability and customer demand.

“Enhanced health and safety protocols that are consistent with CDC recommendations, and currently in use at all REV facilities, have been implemented at our Recreation plants to protect employee safety as they return to work,” concluded Rushing.
