Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Amendment to Term Loan Credit Agreement
On July 6, 2020, Horizon Global Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), extended the maturity of its term loans to June 30, 2022 (or earlier, as set forth below). Specifically, the Company entered into the 2020 Replacement Term Loan Amendment (Eleventh Amendment to Credit Agreement) (the “Amendment”) with Cortland Capital Market Services LLC (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.), as administrative agent, and the other institutions named on the signature pages thereto, to amend the Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2015 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, as borrower, Cortland Capital Market Services LLC (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.), as administrative agent and the other lenders that are parties thereto. The Amendment provides for a 1.00% closing fee, which is payable in kind (“PIK”) and added to the principal amount of the replacement term loans on the closing date. Additionally, the Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) provide for replacement term loans that will in part refinance and replace the term loans, plus any accrued interest thereon, outstanding under the Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Amendment and in part refinance and replace the term loans, plus any accrued interest thereon, outstanding under the Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of March 15, 2019, (ii) set the maturity date for such replacement term loans to be the earlier of (a) June 30, 2022 and (b) April 1, 2022 if the Convertible Notes (as defined in the Credit Agreement) are not repaid or otherwise discharged prior to such date, (iii) provide for an interest rate on such replacement term loans equal to 10.75% per annum, of which 4.00% shall be payable in cash and 6.75% shall be PIK interest (provided that the Company may elect on not more than one occasion to pay all interest as PIK interest), (iv) provide for a prepayment penalty on the entire principal amount of such replacement term loans in an amount equal to 3.0% of the aggregate principal amount prepaid to the extent prepaid prior to December 31, 2021, and (v) modify the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio requirement by increasing the covenant levels to 1.10:1.00 for the period ending June 30, 2021, 1.25:1.00 for the period ending September 30, 2021 and 1.40:1.00 for all periods thereafter.
