On January 28, 2021, Brundage-Bone Concrete Pumping Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (i) completed a private offering of $375.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.000% senior secured second lien notes due 2026 (the "Senior Notes") issued pursuant to an indenture, among the Issuer, the Company, the other Guarantors (as defined below), Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee and as collateral agent (the "Indenture") and (ii) entered into an amended and restated ABL Facility (as subsequently amended, the "ABL Facility") by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as agent, sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner, the other lenders party thereto, which originally provided up to $125.0 million of asset-based revolving loan commitments to the Company and the other borrowers under the ABL Facility. The Senior Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company, Concrete Pumping Intermediate Acquisition Corp. and each of the Issuer’s domestic, wholly-owned subsidiaries that is a borrower or a guarantor under the ABL Facility (collectively, the "Guarantors").

 

On June 1, 2023, the ABL Facility was amended to, among other changes, (1) increase the maximum revolver borrowings available to be drawn thereunder to $225.0 million, (2) increase the letter of credit sublimit to $22.5 million and (3) extend the maturity of the ABL Facility to the earlier of (a) June 1, 2028 or (b) the date that is 180 days prior to (i) the final stated maturity date of the Senior Notes or (ii) the date the Senior Notes become due and payable. The ABL Facility also provides for an uncommitted accordion feature under which the borrowers under the ABL Facility can, subject to specified conditions, increase the ABL Facility by up to an additional $75.0 million. The amended ABL Facility was treated as a debt modification. The Company capitalized an additional $0.5 million of debt issuance costs related to the June 1, 2023, ABL Facility amendment. The preexisting unamortized deferred costs of $1.4 million and the additional costs of $0.5 million will be amortized from June 1, 2023 through June 1, 2028.

 

The outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes as of July 31, 2024 was $375.0 million and as of that date, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Indenture.

 

 

 

There was no outstanding balance under the ABL Facility as of  July 31, 2024 and as of that date, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants. Borrowings are generally in the form of short-term fixed rate loans that can be extended to mature on the earlier of (a) June 1, 2028 or (b) the date that is 180 days prior to (i) the final stated maturity date of the Senior Notes or (ii) the date the Senior Notes become due and payable. Amounts borrowed may be repaid at any time, subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement.

 

The Company utilizes the ABL Facility to support its working capital arrangement.

 

In addition, as of July 31, 2024 the Company had $1.1 million in credit line reserves and a letter of credit balance of $13.9 million.

 

As of July 31, 2024 we had $210.0 million of available borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility. Debt issuance costs related to revolving credit facilities are capitalized and reflected as an asset in deferred financing costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company had debt issuance costs related to the revolving credit facilities of $1.5 million as of July 31, 2024.

 

There was no outstanding balance under the ABL Facility as of  July 31, 2024 and as of  October 31, 2023 the weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the ABL Facility was 7.9%.
