On September 5, 2025, CUSA amended and restated its Credit Agreement to increase the revolving credit facility to $225.0 million and to reduce the range of rates at which the revolving credit loans bear interest. In addition, the rate at which CUSA is required to pay a commitment fee on the revolving line of credit now ranges from 0.25% to 0.375%. See below for additional discussion of interest rates on the revolving credit facility, and Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the amendment of the revolving credit facility.
Under the Credit Agreement, quarterly principal payments of $1.6 million are due on the term loan through March 31, 2030, with a final principal payment of the remaining unpaid principal due on May 24, 2030.
Pursuant to the 2025 Amendment noted above, interest on the term loan accrues, at CUSA's option, at either (i) a rate determined by reference to the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) as published by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited and identified by Barclay's Bank PLC (the Administrative Agent) as the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR for a period of 1, 3, or 6 months (depending upon the Interest Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement) chosen by CUSA) (the “Term SOFR Rate”), subject to a floor of 0.50% per annum, plus an applicable margin of 2.25% per annum, or (ii) for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York Rate in effect on such day, plus 1/2 of 1.00% and (c) the Term SOFR Rate for a one month Interest Period, as published two U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to such day (or if such day is not a U.S. Government Securities Business Day, the immediately preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day), plus 1.00% (this clause (ii), the "Alternate Base Rate"), subject in the case of this clause (ii) to a floor of 1.50% per annum, plus, in the case of this clause (ii), an applicable margin of 1.25% per annum.
Pursuant to the amendment of the revolving credit facility noted above, interest on revolving credit loans accrues, at CUSA's option, at either (i) the Term SOFR Rate plus an applicable margin that ranges from 1.75% to 2.00% per annum, or (ii) the Alternate Base Rate, subject, in the case of this clause (ii) to a floor of 1.00% per annum, plus, in the case of this clause (ii), an applicable margin that ranges from 0.75% to 1.00%. The applicable margin with respect to revolving credit loans is a function of the Consolidated Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2025, the applicable margin was 1.75%, however, there were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving line of credit. In addition, CUSA is required to pay a commitment fee on the revolving line of credit that accrues at a rate ranging from 0.25% to 0.375% per annum of the daily unused portion of the revolving line of credit. The commitment fee rate is a function of the Consolidated Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and was 0.25% at September 30, 2025.
CUSA’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Holdings and certain subsidiaries of Holdings other than CUSA (the “Other Guarantors”) and are secured by security interests in substantially all of Holdings’ and the Other Guarantors’ personal property.
The Credit Agreement contains usual and customary negative covenants for agreements of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the ability of Holdings, CUSA and their subsidiaries to: merge, consolidate, liquidate, or dissolve; sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets; create, incur or permit to exist certain indebtedness and liens; pay dividends, repurchase stock and make other Restricted Payments (as defined in the Credit Agreement); prepay certain indebtedness; make investments; enter into transactions with affiliates; and change the nature of their business. At any time that CUSA has revolving credit loans outstanding, it is not permitted to allow the Consolidated Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio to exceed 3.5 to 1.0. As of September 30, 2025, there were no revolving credit loans outstanding, and CUSA’s Consolidated Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio was 0.3 to 1.
The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, including, among other things, payment default, covenant default, breach of representation or warranty, bankruptcy, cross-default, material ERISA events, a change of control, material money judgments and failure to maintain security interests. If an event of default occurs, all commitments under the Credit Agreement may be terminated and all obligations under the Credit Agreement could be accelerated by the Lenders, causing all loans outstanding (including accrued interest and fees payable thereunder) to be declared immediately due and payable.
The Restricted Payments covenant, as defined in the Credit Agreement generally does not limit the ability of Holdings and its subsidiaries to pay dividends and make other Restricted Payments if the Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00. If the Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.75 to 1.00, but not greater than 5.00 to 1.00, Restricted Payments generally may be made in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Available Amount (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which is a function of CUSA’s Consolidated EBITDA minus 1.75 times its Consolidated Interest Expense (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement) and certain other factors as specified in the Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2025, the Consolidated Net Total Leverage Ratio was 2.23 to 1.00 and the Available Amount was $1.2 billion. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains other baskets that allow certain Restricted Payments in excess of the Applicable Amount.
We have three interest rate swap agreements that are used to hedge a portion of the interest rate risk associated with the variable interest rates on the term loan outstanding under the Credit Agreement. See Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for discussion of the interest rate swaps.
As of September 30, 2025, there was $633.9 million outstanding under the term loan and no borrowings were outstanding under the $225.0 million revolving line of credit. The average interest rate on outstanding term loan borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2025 was approximately 5.7% per annum, after giving effect to the interest rate swap agreements.
